Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery.

Coronary artery anomalies are congenital variations of the origin(s), course(s), and terminations(s) of the 3 main epicardial coronary arteries that make up less than 1% of cases. Clinically, coronary artery anomalies can be asymptomatic or present with dyspnea, chest pain, and even sudden cardiac death. In this report, we discuss the case of a patient who was found to have a rare presentation of an anomalous right coronary artery originating from the anterior ascending aorta 20.

Pulmonary Cement Embolism After Vertebroplasty.

Pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) is a known complication that can occur in the setting of vertebroplasty. The majority of these cases are asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging. There are no current management recommendations regarding PCE.

Relationship between physical activity level and BMI among Pakistani labourers in Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To study the level of physical activity of Pakistani labourers in Saudi Arabia, and to find its relationship with body mass index.

Methods: The observational study was conducted inside the Pakistan Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from October 2017 to March 2018, and comprised Pakistani males aged 22-60 years doing unskilled and semi-skilled jobs. Body mass index was calculated, and the level of physical activity was assessed using the short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

ECG Images dataset of Cardiac and COVID-19 Patients.

The study contains the dataset of ECG images of Cardiac and COVID-19 patients. This rare dataset contains 1937 distinct patient records, data is collected using ECG Device 'EDAN SERIES-3' installed in Cardiac Care and Isolation Units of different health care institutes across Pakistan. The collected ECG images data were manually reviewed by medical professors using Telehealth ECG diagnostic system, under the supervision of senior medical professionals with experience in ECG interpretation.

Ultrasonic Guided Wave Testing on Cross-Ply Composite Laminate: An Empirical Study.

Structural health monitoring comprises a set of techniques to detect defects appearing in structures. One of the most viable techniques is based on the guided ultrasonic wave test (UGWT), which consists of emitting waves throughout the structure, acquiring the emitted waves with various sensors, and processing the waves to detect changes in the structure. The UGWT of layered composite structures is challenging due to the anisotropic wave propagation characteristics of such structures and to the high signal attenuation that the waves experience.

An Empirical Study on Transmission Beamforming for Ultrasonic Guided-Wave Based Structural Health Monitoring.

The development of reliable structural health monitoring techniques is enabling a healthy transition from preventive to condition-based maintenance, hence leading to safer and more efficient operation of different industries. Ultrasonic guided-wave based beamforming is one of the most promising techniques, which supports the monitoring of large thin-walled structures. However, beamforming has been typically applied to the post-processing stage (also known as virtual or receiver beamforming) because transmission or physical beamforming requires complex hardware configurations.

Presentation and outcome of Middle East respiratory syndrome in Saudi intensive care unit patients.

Background: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection is associated with high mortality rates but limited clinical data have been reported. We describe the clinical features and outcomes of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from all adult (>18 years old) patients admitted to our 20-bed mixed ICU with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection between October 1, 2012 and May 31, 2014.
