AbstractKikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) has been widely reported from Japan and sporadically from many parts of the world including Saudi Arabia, since its original description in 1972 but the disease remains poorly known by clinicians. In this paper we report two Saudi patients seen in Tabuk. Saudi Arabia. One was a 36-year-old Saudi man and the other a 16-yearold Saudi girl. Both presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and pyrexia. Histological examination of biospy material from both showed classical features of KFD. Other laboratory findings were unremarkable except for leucopenia. Following excision biopsy both patients recovered without sequelae. KFD is a self-limiting process of uncertain aetiology that predominantly affects young women aged 20–-30 years. We review the pathology, clinical featuers and possible aetiology of this interesting disease, which may well be underdiagnosed. Increased awareness of KFD will minimize the risk of confusing this entity with malignant lymphoma or other serious conditions.

Vision 2030

Saudi Vision 2030 is a scheme; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has formulated to realize its mainstream economic, social, and administrative goals. Accordingly, the Kingdom strategizes to implement this transformative Vision. The current research aims to analyze how American media has reported several events, actions, and policies in line with Saudi Vision 2030. Thus, the question posed is how an image of the transformative Saudi Kingdom has been presented by American media discourse, in line with Vision 2030. The study is substantial for the Kingdom to ascertain how the world has responded to its Vision. Moreover, in a world with media as a dominant directing agency, it is imperious for the Kingdom to keep an eye on its image in the global community. The research is primarily a quantitative study based on the corpus approach to study the designated media discourse. A specialized corpus of 150,000 words is compiled and analyzed through a variety of corpus tools. The results reveal that American newspapers have given limited representation of the Vision and related activities. Their media usually highlights the pre-existing features of the Kingdom. On the other hand, there are very occasional references to some new aspects like the transformation of the economy, promotion of tourism, revision of the society, etc., which are being implemented in the Kingdom. The study suggests that the Kingdom needs to brief the Western world for an enriched campaign of its contemporary image.

Similar Restriction

Using Anthony Trollope’s character Tom Tringle ofAyala’s Angel, I argue that in his portrayal of the hobbledehoy, Trollope is imposing on Victorian boys and young men a code of behavior every bit as restrictive and every bit as unnatural as the “suffer and be still” doctrine imposed on girls and young women. Using critical tools from the fields of Masculinity Studies and studies of literary character, I discuss Trollope’s portrayal of Tom Tringle as emblematic of the restrictions Victorian gender ideology placed on women. What emerges is a new dimension to Victorian gender studies. The admonition addressed to Victorian women of all ages and classes that they should “suffer and be still” in the face of any adversity is well known, and is often accompanied by the assumption that no similar restriction is placed on boys and men. In the world of Anthony Trollope’s novels, however, unlike that of many other Victorian novelists, women seldom need much taming, as obedience is a strong character trait in the majority of his heroines. His young men, on the other hand, tend to be far less morally evolved, and in Trollope’s love plots, if anyone has to undergo profound changes of character before being fit for marriage, it is usually the man. I argue that Trollope’s stern but gentle treatment of the misfit Tom provides further answers to the often debated question of Trollopes relative conservatism.

β-thalassemia is a group of heterogeneous recessive disorders common in many parts of the world. Al-Qatif and Al-Hassa oases in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia are regions known for high frequency of these disorders. Using two molecular methods, based on multiplexing-amplification refractory system and reverse hybridization principles, the spectrum ofβ-thalassemia in the region was studied. Sixty-nine subjects with knownβ-thalassemia disease and volunteers with high hemoglobinA2(HbA2)and low mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were included in this study. Ten mutations were detected in 91% of the subjects under study. Six of these mutations had previously been observed while the other four mutations are reported here for the first time. In addition, four of the mutations accounted for76.8% of the subjects studied. IVSII-1 (G>A), IVSI-5 (G>A), and codon 39 (C>T) mutations were found to be the most frequent. However, the frequencies of different mutations reported here are slightly different from those reported earlier. A number of these mutations were also found in the neighboring countries, which can be explained in terms of gene flow.

Demographic Evolution

According to the last head count in 1981 the total population ofPakistan was 83.782 millions. In addition, “there are two millionoverseas Pakistanis, more than one million left behind families and halfa million returnee migrants.” Let us assume that out of the 1.5 millionPakistanis who are working abroad at agiven time, 33.3 percent have anaverage of three dependents with them overseas. This brings the totalnumber of persons of Pakistani origin and their offspring abroad tothree million.It is estimated that over two-thirds of the working Pakistanis abroadare in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia, UAE, Libya, Kuwaitand Iraq. The rest of the total are working all over the world. After theMiddle East, their largest concentration points are England, the U.S.A.,Canada and Germany. Among the other countries with relativelysmaller-but significant numbers-of persons of Pakistani origin areBahrain, Oman, Qatar, Denmark, Singapore, Nigeria, Kenya, HongKong and Malaysia.Today Pakistan is one of the leading countries in exporting itsmanpower to the rest of the world. It is not an exaggeration of facts to saythat the foreign exchange sent home by the overseas Pakistanis iskeeping Pakistan afloat economically in these uncertain times. In 1983,close to three billion dollars were sent by overseas Pakistanis to theircountry. This is, again, one of the largest amounts sent by workers ...

Accepted Form

A small circle of young women sat in the warm mid-winter sun deep in the Central Kalahari of Botswana. Russian, American and Batswana, they were part of a multicultural program which had assembled a few days earlier. The facilitator was encouraging a discussion of issues of importance to women. The American women, always quick to speak, suggested discussing abortion, a highly charged topic that, to them, clearly symbolized women's issues around the world. However, to the Russians, abortion was not an issue. It was simply an accepted form of birth control. One young woman had already had two. To the Batswana, abortion was not an issue. It was inconceivable that anyone would ever abort a child. So it was left to the Americans to explain why it is a sharply divisive issue in their country, and to try to engender a conversation about something that was at best a curiosity to the other women. The two of us had been sitting for hours, waiting in the car on a dark roadside north of Gaborone, Botswana, watching the constellations wheel slowly over the silent land. We were looking for a bus from Harare, Zimbabwe that was supposed to arrive sometime around 6 p.m. It had been coming three times a week for years, but nobody seemed to know where it was going to stop on any given day, so we had decided to try intercepting it. Not only that, the Russians we were expecting may not have even made it to Harare as far as we knew. Finally, well past midnight, a bus roared by and we took chase. At the first stop, somewhere in Gaborone, we ran to the door of the bus and found five smiling Russians stepping off. “How was it?” I asked Elena Sadovnikova, their irrepressible leader. “Well, we forgot about visas for Botswana and they refused us at the border. But African bureaucracy is no match for a Russian. Once again, bureaucracy struggled against Elena and lost!”

Introduction: CoV infections can potentially cause from a simple cold to a severe respiratory syndrome, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). The COVID-19 created a new reality for global healthcare models. Objetive: To evaluate trends in case fatality rates of COVID-19 in the World. Methods: We conducted a population based time-series study using public and official data of cases and deaths from COVID-19 in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and Russian, between December, 2019 and August, 2020. Data were based on reports from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. COVID-19 was defined by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (U07.1). A Prais-Winsten regression model was performed and the Daily Percentage Change (DPC) calculated determine rates as increasing, decreasing or flat. Results: During the study period, trends in case-fatality rates in the world were flat (DPC = 0.3; CI 95% [-0.2: 0.7]; p = 0.225). In Africa, Morocco had decreasing trends (DPC = -1.1; CI 95% [-1.5: -0.7]; p < 0.001), whereas it were increasing in South Africa (p < 0.05) and flat in Nigeria (p > 0.05). In the Americas, Argentina showed a decreasing trend in case-fatality rates (DPC = -0.6; CI 95% [-1.1: -0.2]; p = 0.005), the U.S. had flat trends (p > 0.05) and all other American countries had increasing trends (p < 0.05). In Asia, Iran had decreasing trends (DPC = -1.5; CI 95% [-2.6 : -0.2]; p = 0.019); China and Saudi Arabia showed increasing trends (p < 0.05), while in India, Japan and South Korea they were flat (p > 0.05). European countries had mostly increasing trends (p < 0.05): Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Russia; France and Switzerland had flat trends (p > 0.05). Finally, in Oceania, trends in case-fatality rates were flat in Australia (p > 0.05) and increasing in New Zealand (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Trends in case-fatality rates of COVID-19 in the World were flat between December, 31 and August, 31. Argentina, Iran and Morocco were the only countries with decreasing trends. On the other hand, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, China, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Russian and New Zealand had increasing trends in case-fatality rate. All the other countries analyzed had flat trends. Based on case-fatality rate data, our study supports that COVID-19 pandemic is still in progress worldwide.

Middle Panel

Thomas pynchon's oedipa maas sees in the Varo triptych echoes of her own Rapunzel-like state, her world a tower from which Pierce Inverariety has ineffectually tried to rescue her. Pynchon does not comment on the other two panels of the triptych. In the first, the young women (more slender than frail) file away on bicycles from their conventlike towers – out for exercise or a trip to town; in the last, one of the maidens departs with her knight of deliverance. Nor does Pynchon observe that in the middle panel the young women, embroidering the tapestry of the world in their communal solitude, create the world. In which panel, one might ask, are the young women most free?The work of Remedios Varo is filled with women in towers; spinning, weaving, writing poetry, composing music – creating the world. All of the women are the same woman. She frightens Pynchon. “Such a captive maiden,” he writes, “soon realizes that her tower, its height and architecture, are like her ego only incidental: that what really keeps her where she is is magic, anonymous and malignant.”

The last major bastions of dynastic rule exist among the Muslim states of the Middle East. In the last thirty years, as they have emerged from under the “protective” umbrella of European domination, the rulers of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States have attempted to maintain their personal control while coping with problems, on the one hand of unstable external conditions, and on the other of the pursuit of economic and administrative modernization. Their successes and, more recently, their failures, have held the attention of the world. In some ways their predicament represents a more acute aspect of the problem confronting some of the Indian princes in the 1930s when, as British dominance in the subcontinent was increasingly challenged by the Indian National Congress, they attempted to lead their states on the first halting steps towards modernity.

Importance of the topic. Using a net explant in Hernioplasty is one of the most common operations performed in surgical hospitals around the world. Despite of the achievement in chemical industry and the abundance of various endoprosthesis, there are always some drawbacks. Also, there is a problem in finding a plastic material that meets all the requirements of an ideal endoprosthesis and it is still relevant.Purpose. Study the timing of connective tissue germination of mesh implants made by different manufacturers in intact and compromised conditions (aseptic inflammation).Materials and methods. For the experiment we took 4 rabbits «Chinchilla» breed. We made 4 cuts on the back side of all animals (on both sides of the spine) which we used for the implantation of mesh implants. On the left side of the spine, the conditions were intact, on the right, aseptic inflammation was modeled by applying 0.3 ml of turpentine on liquid paraffin. On the 11th, 14th, 17th, 21st day an excision biopsy was performed. A complex of tissues was sent to histological examination, which would help us to rate the maturity of formed connective tissue that was evaluated by the severity of the inflammatory response.Results. In the end of our experiment we found out that the formation of the mature connective tissue around all endoprosthesis under conditions of aseptic inflammation occurred faster than in intact conditions. On the other hand, the time of germination in the explants was different, which should be considered in the postoperative period.Conclusion. None of the presented grids can be considered an ideal endoprosthesis.

Introduction: Lymphadenitis is the most common extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis. It remains both diagnostic and therapeutic challenge as not only mimics other diseases but also inconsistent physical and laboratory findings. Diagnosis is difficult often requiring biopsy. Aim: Aim of the study was to evaluate the role of surgical dissection of tuberculous cervicle lymphadenopathy for diagnosis as well as therapeutic purpose. Methods: This observational study was conducted during the time period of 01 july 2015 to 30 june 2017 in ENT & Pulmonology department, combined military hospital Dhaka on 100 patients who have undergone surgical neck dissection. Result: In our study total 100 patients were biopsied. Among them 56 patient was diagnosed as tubercular lymphadenitis after lymphnode excision biopsy. Among them 47 tubercular lymphadenitis patient responded to ATT (CAT-1), only 2 patient developed cold abscess which required further surgery. Six patient showed relapse during follow-up and 9 patient did not respond to CAT-1 treatment (treatment failure). Surgical intervention along with CAT-2 treatment showed cure in all of them. 2nd surgical interventions were done in total 17 patients, 2 TB abscess during ATT (CAT-1 HRZE), 9 treatment failure patients and 6 relapse patients along with ATT (CAT-2 SHRZE) and all these patients had no relapse or treatment failure during further follow up.
