Epidemiological Variation of Acute Myocardial Infarction Relevant to In-Hospital Outcomes-Tertiary Center Experience-Saudi Arabia.

Background: Epidemiological related differences in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have not yet been fully characterized in the Middle East countries. The aim of this study was to assess gender, ethnic and racial variation in clinical profiles, presentation and treatment strategies with relation to the in-hospital outcomes.

Method: This is a retrospective, single center study reviewing the epidemiological details of STEMI patients who were admitted to our center during the period between October 2015 and August 2019.

Uncommon presentation of adult-form scimitar syndrome associated with single left pulmonary vein in a pregnant woman.

Scimitar syndrome is the constellation of malformations including an abnormal venous drainage of the right lung into the inferior vena cava, associated with the right lung and systemic supply to the right lung. The anomalous vein looks like the curved, Turkish sword (scimitar), hence the name.The adult form of scimitar syndrome is rare, and it is usually an incidental diagnosis based on the characteristic finding on radiological imaging since the patients are usually asymptomatic or with minimal symptoms.

Clinical Assessment of the Congenital Absence of Palmaris Longus and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Muscles in Young Saudi Population.

Congenital Palmaris Longus (PL) absence was found in 15%-20.25% of population globally. This condition and Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) tendon absence in little finger are not known in Saudi Arabia.

A Recommendation for the Management of Illness Anxiety Disorder Patients Abusing the Health Care System.

Introduction. Illness anxiety disorder (IAD) entails a preoccupation with having a serious, undiagnosed illness in which somatic symptoms are, if present, mild in intensity (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Case Report.

In-flight estimation of center of gravity position using all-accelerometers.

Changing the position of the Center of Gravity (CoG) for an aerial vehicle is a challenging part in navigation, and control of such vehicles. In this paper, an all-accelerometers-based inertial measurement unit is presented, with a proposed method for on-line estimation of the position of the CoG. The accelerometers' readings are used to find and correct the vehicle's angular velocity and acceleration using an Extended Kalman Filter.

Bonded orthodontic retainers: a comparison of initial bond strength of different wire-and-composite combinations.

Objectives: The aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate initial bond strength in Newton (N) of two types of wires (Ortho- Flextech chain and Penta-One Coaxial wire 0.0215") bonded with three lingual retainer composites (FlowTain, Light Cure Retainer and Transbond LR).

Materials And Methods: One hundred and eighty sound, extracted human premolars were randomly divided into six equal groups.
