Soil quality is one of the main limiting factor in the development of the food sector in arid areas, mainly due to its poor mechanics and lack of water retention. Soil's organic carbon is nearly absent in arid soils, though it is important for water and nutrient transport, to soil mechanics, to prevent erosion, and as a long-term carbon sink. In this study, we evaluate the potential benefits that are brought to inert sand by the incorporation of a range of, mainly, cellulosic networks in their polymeric or structured (fiber) forms, analogously to those found in healthy soils.

Retention of the replanted tooth helps in preservation of adjacent alveolar bone. Despite the occurrence of replacement resorption, the tooth can stay healthy and functional in the arch for a longer duration.

This case report is about of 15-year-old unmarried Saudi female, who presented with a complaint of pain in the lower abdomen. Complete blood count and coagulation profile revealed low hemoglobin and prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and international normalized ratio (INR).
