Abstract. Most major fields in the northeastern area of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are anticlinal structures developed above north-northeast–south-southwest-trending basement lineaments. Based on structural interpretation of 3D seismic data sets, the fault pattern over one such field in the offshore Arabian Gulf of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia was analyzed in detail and integrated into the regional tectonic framework. Two discrete fault sets were identified. First, a system of Cretaceous extensional block faulting was observed that is parallel to and associated with folding over the basement structure. Second, a complex wrench-fault assemblage was identified associated with a Palaeogene dextral couple across the Zagros suture, which overprinted the inherited structural fabric. Convex-upward, Zagros-parallel flower structures were interpreted along with coeval synthetic and antithetic strike-slip fault systems. The interpretation of two discrete faults sets was then applied to an adjacent field that proved to have experienced a more complex tectonic history. Integration of the seismic fault interpretation into the regional tectonic history provided a robust framework that enhanced the understanding of the fault pattern and the structural interpretation of a nearby more complex field.

  A descriptive study conducted in Hail city (north-western Saudi Arabia, has a population of 412.758 according to Ha'il Province in 2010). Study aim to assess knowledge of mother about acute diarrhea in children under five years in Hail city (north-western Saudi Arabia), and to assess the attitude of mothers of home management of acute diarrhea. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 522 mothers of children under five years old whom suffered from diarrhea during the last year were included in the study. Mothers whose children didn’t have diarrhea during the last year were excluded.  Questionnaires were distributed directly to the mothers and through social media. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 19 program for Windows. The study started from October 2015 to February 2016, that included 522 mothers, most of the mothers are educated, and half of them were between 21-30 years of age. 37.4% of mothers increase fluid during diarrhea, most of them gives artificial feeding only. Also, half of the children showed sign of dehydration. It’s concluded that considerable number of mothers have unfavorable attitude towards the management of acute diarrhea at home. So, they need health education.

We report in this study for the first time the prevalence of multiple resistant Staphylococcus haemolyticus in clinical settings in Saudi Arabia. A total of 1060 clinical specimens of hospitalized patients were screened for the presence of S. haemolyticus in the period between September and December 2020. Primary identification of the isolates was carried out by colonial characteristics on mannitol salt agar and clumping factor test, confirmation of presumptive isolates and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Vitek® 2, while PCR was employed to detect mecA and vanA genes. A total of 20 S. haemolyticus isolates were recovered from 20 samples (blood cultures, urine, nasal swab, wound swab, groin swab, and axilla swab), 90% (P <0.001, x2) of the isolates were multiple resistant to three antimicrobial agents and more. Resistance to oxacillin was exhibited in 95% of the isolates, while none of the isolates were resistant to vancomycin and linezolid, yet resistance to rifampicin was observed in 30 % of the isolates. The findings of this study highlights the emerging trends of Staphylococcus haemolyticus as potential drug resistant pathogen in hospital settings in Saudi Arabia, which requires in depth investigation on molecular understanding on antimicrobial resistance and virulence traits of the strains.
