Glaucoma after corneal transplantation is a leading cause of ocular morbidity after penetrating keratoplasty. The incidence reported is highly variable and a number of etiologic factors have been identified. A number of treatment options are available; surgical intervention for IOP control is associated with a high incidence of graft failure. IOP elevation is less frequently seen following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Descemet's striping-automated endothelial keratoplasty is also associated with postprocedure intraocular pressure elevation and secondary glaucoma and presents unique surgical challenges in patients with preexisting glaucoma surgeries. Glaucoma exists in up to three-quarters of patients who undergo keratoprosthesis surgery and the management if often challenging. The aim of this paper is to highlight the incidence, etiology, and management of glaucoma following different corneal transplant procedures. It also focuses on the challenges in the diagnosis of glaucoma and intraocular pressure monitoring in this group of patients.

COVID- 19 is highly infectious disease where the first infected case reported in Wuhan city-China, then it was spread worldwide. The causative agent belongs to novel enveloped single linear positive-sense stranded RNA Coronavirus, which is also called SARS-CoV-2 and has an affinity to lung cells. The genetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 suggested that this novehtm hgn l strain may be developed from the animal. origin by recombination between a bat SARS-like CoV and a coronavirus of unknown origin. The ability of rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus from person to other is similar or even more than to other human viruses like influenza or plague leadding to be announced as a pandemic by WHO in 2020. The mortality rate in SARS-CoV-2 increased day by day and this led the scientists to search ways to control the virus. Most of the deaths in aged patients may be due to immune response complications where 70% of patients showed lymphopenia. This review, provided some details about structure, pathogenicity and immune response against SARS-CoV-2. The facts in this review lead to suggest that in most cases the death in SARS-CoV-2 may occur via loss of systemic inflammatory response control which leading to lung injury followed by pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and respiratory failure, hence the death especially in old patients. In concluding the early effective control of both innate and adaptive immunity may be the critical. key factor in protection against SARS-CoV-2.

A pilot photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected system rated at 36 kWp has been designed and installed at the 0.4 kV level of the Abu Dhabi distribution network. The performance of the system under the actual weather conditions has been evaluated in terms of power and energy production, conversion efficiency, consistency of voltage and frequency, along with the impact of ambient temperature. Additionally, the influence of accumulated dust deposition on the production of the PV array has been evaluated. The evaluation showed consistent operation of the system with a moderate conversion efficiency even with the high ambient temperatures at the site. However, the dust deposition on the glazing of PV modules was found to seriously degrade the performance of the PV system. The outcome of this work is deemed important in assisting accurate PV system design, and also in scheduling suitable cleaning cycles for the PV strings. In this regard, cleaning the strings on a monthly basis was found to give reasonable results.

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Effective Microorganisms (EM1®) for inhibiting the growth of some pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli were used in this study and isolated from pathological conditions. These bacteria were diagnosed in laboratory of microbiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Mosul. The colonies that taken from blood agar were 5-7 and cultured in the nutrient broth and incubated at 37 ºC for 24 hours. Bacterial growth was calibrated with the second tube of the McFarland tubes 0.5%. Several concentrations of EM product were prepared 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125%. Decimal dilutions were done for each concentration of EM product with bacterial suspension, except control group was done for bacterial suspension with nutrient broth. The bacterial count was done on nutrient agar, milk agar and EMB agar. The results of this study showed that the product of EM1® within concentrations 0.5-1% was highly efficient in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria under study. The bacterial count of both S. aureus and E. coli was 54x107 and 52x107 CFU/ ml respectively at 1% EM1®, and 67x107 and 86x107 CFU/ ml respectively at 0.5%, while the counting of the control group was 42x109 and 67x109 CFU/ ml respectively. This study concluded that EM1® at low concentrations have a clear role in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, particularly S. aureus and E. coli.

Connection of utility-interactive PV generators at the distribution level, namely PV distributed generation (PVDG), could bring many benefits to the distribution network. However, deployment of PVDG systems, in any country, requires actual data on the performance of these systems under actual weather conditions. Additionally, it needs compliance with the electrical structure and regulations of the power distribution network in that country. Hence, applying PVDG technology in the UAE brings forth many considerations and this work aims at tackling potential technical ones. Among these is the role of daily load curve and PV production curve in determining feasible locations and capacities of PVDG systems. The analyses are based on existing case study feeders at the 11 kV level of Abu Dhabi distribution network. Accordingly, the work results in suitable recommendations on feasible locations of PVDG systems. Also it defines rational objectives and constraints for optimal sizing and location of such systems. The other consideration tackled in this work is the performance of PVDG systems in actual UAE weather conditions. Actual data from two pilot PVDG systems installed in Abu Dhabi are collected and analyzed. The production of PV array, consistency of voltage and frequency and the conversion efficiency of PV modules and inverters along with the impact of ambient temperature are considered. In the same connection, the influence of accumulated dust deposition on the production of PV array in UAE is also taken over in this work.

Suitable procedure for optimal sizing and location of multiple Photovoltaic Distributed Generators (PVDG) on radial distribution feeders has been developed. The optimization objective is to minimize the accumulated line power loss over the day (line energy loss) along the feeder, while keeping the voltage profile along the feeder with the statutory limits. A method has been applied to rate the line energy loss considering one time interval, namely Feasible Optimization Interval. An effective method to help determine feasible iterative steps has been developed. The procedure has been applied on actual 11kV feeder. The application showed obvious benefits in terms of line loss reduction and improvement of the voltage profile. Alternative feasible solutions have been produced in case the optimal solution cannot be applied for any reason -like inconvenience/limitation of land or investment.

We report a rare case of bilateral keratoconus in association with achondroplasia. A 26-year-old male, with a known case of achondroplasia, complained of bilateral gradual deterioration in vision for the past few years. Slit lamp biomicroscopy showed bilateral central corneal protrusion and stromal thinning at the apex consistent with keratoconus. a trial of hard contact lens fitting failed to improve VA in the left eye (LE). Right eye (RE) improved to 20/25. The patient underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in his LE. Twenty-seven months postoperatively, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/30. Ophthalmologists should be aware that patients with achondroplasia who complain of poor vision should be suspected of having keratoconus once other more common conditions are ruled out.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) continues to be the main cause of death among trauma patients. Accurate diagnosis and timely surgical interventions are critical steps in reducing the mortality from this disease. For patients who have no surgically reversible head injury pathology, the decision to transfer to a dedicated neurosurgical unit is usually controversial. Objective To compare the outcome of patients with severe TBI treated conservatively in a specialized neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) and those treated conservatively at a general ICU in the Sultanate of Oman. Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods This is a retrospective study of patients with severe TBI admitted to Khoula Hospital ICU (specialized neurosurgical ICU) and Nizwa Hospital ICU (general ICU) in Oman in 2013. Surgically treated patients were excluded. Data extracted included demographics, injury details, interventions, and outcomes. The outcome variables included mortality, length of stay, length of ICU days, and ventilated days. Results There were 100 patients with severe TBI treated conservatively at Khoula Hospital compared with 74 patients at Nizwa Hospital. Basic demographics were similar between the 2 groups. No significant difference was found in mortality, length of stay, ICU days, and ventilation days. Conclusion There is no difference in outcome between patients with TBI treated conservatively in a specialized neurosurgical ICU and those treated in a general nonspecialized ICU in Oman in 2013. Therefore, unless neurosurgical intervention is warranted or expected, patients with TBI may be managed in a general ICU, saving the risk and expense of a transfer to a specialized neurosurgical ICU.

This study investigated if the nephroprotective effect of Curcumin in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) in rats involves downregulation/inhibition of p66Shc and examined the underlying mechanisms. Rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 12/group) as control, control + Curcumin (100 mg/kg), T1DM, and T1DM + Curcumin. Curcumin was administered orally to control or diabetic rats for 12 weeks daily. As compared to diabetic rats, Curcumin didn't affect either plasma glucose or insulin levels but significantly reduced serum levels of urea, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, and concurrently reduced albumin/protein urea and increased creatinine clearance. It also prevented the damage in renal tubules and mitochondria, mesangial cell expansion, the thickness of the basement membrane. Mechanistically, Curcumin reduced mRNA and protein levels of collagen I/III and transforming growth factor- β-1 (TGF-β1), reduced inflammatory cytokines levels, improved markers of mitochondrial function, and suppressed the release of cytochrome-c and the activation of caspase-3. In the kidneys of both control and diabetic rats, Curcumin reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased mRNA levels of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and gamma-glutamyl ligase, increased glutathione (GSH) and protein levels of Bcl-2 and MnSOD, and increased the nuclear levels of nuclear factor2 (Nrf2) and FOXO-3a. Besides, Curcumin reduced the nuclear activity of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), downregulated protein kinase CβII (PKCβII), NADPH oxidase, and p66Shc, and decreased the activation of p66Shc. In conclusion, Curcumin prevents kidney damage in diabetic rats by activating Nrf2, inhibiting Nf-κB, suppressing NADPH oxidase, and downregulating/inhibiting PKCβII/p66Shc axis.

Background Since their advent in the 1920s, tear gas canisters (TGCs) have been frequently used in crowd control. Few reports have documented nonpenetrating injuries attributed directly to TGCs. In this study, we report a case series of fatal penetrating head injuries caused by TGCs. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of all the patients who were admitted to the Neurosurgery Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, since the start of the antigovernment protests (October 2019). All patients who suffered penetrating head trauma caused by TGCs were included in our study. We collected patient demographics, wound location, neurologic examination, computed tomography (CT) scan findings, surgical management, and clinical outcomes. Results We found 10 cases of penetrating head trauma caused by TGCs. All victims were men, with a mean age of 16 years (range, 14–19 years). The mean Glasgow Coma Scale score was 7 (range, 3–10). The neurologic examination revealed unilateral hemiplegia/hemiparesis and pupillary abnormality in 40% (n = 4) and 50% (n = 5) of the patients, respectively. CT scans revealed an extensive pattern of brain damage. Surgical intervention was done in 80% of cases (n = 8), which included removal of the TGC, wound debridement, and hemostasis. The in-hospital mortality rate was 100% (N = 10), with all fatalities occurring within 1–3 days of admission. Conclusions TGCs have the potential to cause lethal penetrating head injuries, calling for a reevaluation of their safety and methods of use in terms of human health.

To report two unusual cases of endogenous endophthalmitis associated with liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Retrospective, interventional case series. Two patients, known to have type II diabetes mellitus, presented with sudden visual loss following several days of abdominal pain. Examinations and investigations revealed endogenous endophthalmitis caused by K. pneumoniae. Despite treatment in the form of intravitreal injection of antibiotics in the first patient and pars plana vitrectomy coupled with intravitreal injection of antibiotics in the second patient the final visual outcome was poor in both cases. The possibility of K. pneumoniae endogenous endophthalmitis should be suspected in diabetic patients presenting with intraocular inflammation.

Introduction Blast-induced traumatic brain injuries (bTBIs) are increasingly frequent in civilian settings. We present the first study of individuals with bTBI in Iraq. The study focuses on one of the deadliest suicide car bomb attacks in Iraq and uses it to show the devastating nature of bTBIs. Methods This study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. A retrospective chart analysis of patients with bTBI admitted to the Neurosurgery Teaching Hospital was performed. Measured parameters included patients’ demographics, initial presentation, injury patterns, hospital course, surgical management, and outcomes. Results A total of 75 patients with bTBI were included in this study, 19 of whom died in the emergency room. The remaining 56 patients were admitted to the hospital. Of those patients, 68.6% (n = 39) underwent surgery, and 30.4% were managed conservatively. A modified, tailored triaging system was implemented. All surgery was guided by the principles of damage control neurosurgery. In addition, 76.9% and 46.2% of patients underwent corticectomy and decompressive craniectomy, respectively. Dural venous sinus repair was performed in 17.9% of patients, and 30.7% of the operations entailed additional steps to control major (arterial) cerebrovascular bleeding. The net bTBI-related complication rate was 76%. The total mortality was 48%. Of survivors, 10.7% (n = 8) were discharged with a severe disability. Overall, good outcomes were achieved in 41.3% of the patients. Conclusions This study sheds light on the devastating nature of bTBIs. Neurosurgeons worldwide need to be mindful of the unique triaging, diagnostic, and management requirements of these injuries.

Purpose To describe the features of Behçet-associated uveitis over a 25-year period. Design Retrospective observational case series. Methods A chart review of patients with Behçet-associated uveitis who were evaluated from January 1986 to December 2011 at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Demographic data, symptoms, type of uveitis, treatment, and complications were evaluated. The main outcome measures were presenting symptoms, types of uveitis, treatment, and complications. Results There were 132 patients (232 eyes; 102 male [77.3%]) evaluated with age of onset of 36.9 ± 11.4 years. Panuveitis was the most common presentation, affecting 118 patients (89.4%). Episodes were bilateral in 100 patients (75.8%). Baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/125 in both eyes. Retinal vasculitis at presentation occurred in 61 eyes (26.3%), occlusive vasculitis in 59 eyes (25.4%), and macular edema in 42 eyes (18.1%). Common therapeutic management included oral corticosteroids in 123 patients (93.2%), intravenous steroid therapy in 35 patients (26.5%), cyclosporine in 98 patients (74.2%), and azathioprine in 65 patients (49.2%). Common anterior segment complications included glaucoma (44 eyes, 19%) and cataracts (34 eyes, 14.7%). The most common posterior segment complication was optic nerve atrophy.
