Experimental data on compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity properties of sustainable mortar made with high content of GGBFS and CKD combinations.

The development in the construction sector and population growth requires an increase in the consumption of construction materials, mainly concrete. Cement is the binder in concrete, so increasing cement production will increase the energy consumed, as well as in the emission of carbon dioxide. This harmful effect of the environment led to the search for alternative materials for cement, as the waste or by-products of other industries is a promising solution in this case.

Lessons Learned from Large-Scale, First-Tier Clinical Exome Sequencing in a Highly Consanguineous Population.

We report the results of clinical exome sequencing (CES) on >2,200 previously unpublished Saudi families as a first-tier test. The predominance of autosomal-recessive causes allowed us to make several key observations. We highlight 155 genes that we propose to be recessive, disease-related candidates.

Correction to: Vascular suture line wrapping for aortoiliac anastomoses following open surgical repair of infrarenal Behçet's aortoiliac aneurysms.

Following the publication of this article [1], the authors informed us of a typographical error in the spelling of "ePET-Dacron®" in the Background section. The sentence to be corrected is the following: "While anastomosing graft to host artery, vascular suture lines has been reinforced with expanded polyethylene terephthalate (ePTE - Dacron®), polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), omentum, an autogenous vein, or mesh to wrap the vascular anastomoses."

Vascular suture line wrapping for Aortoiliac anastomoses following open surgical repair of Infrarenal Behçet's Aortoiliac aneurysms.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate our local experiences of adjunctive mechanical prosthetic wrapping for aortoiliac vascular anastomoses as a prophylactic measure following surgical repair of Behçet's aortoiliac aneurysms. The goal of prosthetic wrapping to reinforce the vascular anastomoses by mechanical protection to reduce the bleeding complications, and consequently pseudoaneurysm formation. This was aided by the administration of pre- and postoperative immunosuppressive therapy as an adjuvant treatment.
