Nasal bone length in Saudi rhinoplasty: a clinical-radiological study.

Background And Objectives: Hump reduction in the presence of short nasal bones can result in significant esthetic and/or functional problems in patients seeking rhinoplasty in the Middle East. The aims of this study were to determine the mean length of nasal bones, amount of nasal dorsum it forms in relation to the whole nose, and incidence of short nasal bones in the Middle Eastern population.

Design And Settings: A prospective study that has been carried out in a tertiary care hospital.

Attenuation of Theileria lestoquardi infected cells and immunization of sheep against malignant ovine theileriosis.

Malignant ovine theileriosis caused by Theileria lestoquardi is an economically important disease infecting small ruminants in the Sudan. The disease causes massive losses among sheep in many regions of Northern Sudan. The present studies were done to isolate lymphoblastoid cells infected with malignant ovine theileriosis and attenuate them by passage using culture media to develop and produce schizonts candidate vaccine, then test its efficacy and safety by exposing immunized lambs to field challenge in an area endemic with T.

First confirmed report of outbreak of malignant ovine theileriosis among goats in Sudan.
