The importance of anatomical zonal classification in the early management of penetrating neck injuries
...Show More Authors

Background: Penetrating neck injuries are common problem in our country due to increasing violence, terrorist bombing and military operations.
These injuries are potentially life threating and need great attention and proper management.
Objective: The aim of this study is to focus on the importance of anatomical zonal classification of the neck in the management of penetrating injuries of the visceral compartment of the Neck.
Methods :70 patients with various injuries who were managed at causality unit and Otolaryngology department in Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital during aperiod from January 1st 2015 to October 31st 2015.
The study carried on those patient depending on proper clinical examination and their urgent management.
Results : Both civilian and military patients were admitted to the hospital, 34 patients (47.2%) in their 20s age group, while only 2 (2.8%) in 60s.
High percentage of penetrating neck injuries in zone , 48 patient (68.6%) and lowest in zone , 6 patients (8.5%).
40 patients (57.1%) presented with tracheal and laryngeal injuries and 12 patients (17.5%) were with pharyngeal injuries, 4 patients (5.7) were with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and 13 patients (18.5%) presented with vascular injuries.
Radiological examination done for 53 patients (75%) and we found foreign bodies in 30 patients (56.6%), tracheal deviation in 4 patients (7.5%) and emphysema in 19 patients (35.8%).
Tracheostomy done in 51 patients (72.8%) neck, exploration in 20 patients (28.5%) and a 9 patients (12.8%) treated conservatively.
Conclusion: Zonal classification of penetrating neck injuries was helpful in the management. Our study explains demographics and location of the injuries. Young men involved in violence and bombing was at high risk.
Zone with involvement of trachea, larynx and pharynx were most common areas of injuries.
Recommendations
Anatomical zone classification should be used as a guideline in management of penetrating neck injuries. (Trauma lifesaving guideline).Tracheostory should be practiced by every doctor in casualty unit. Team of surgeons and anaesthiologist should be always ready for any intervention with patient present to the casualty unite with a penetrating neck injury. Emergency medicine medical practice must be presents in every casualty unit to deal with insults.
Aim of the study
1.To recognize penetrating injuries of the neck according to the anatomic neck zones.
2.Identify the outcome of their treatment

After completion of the artistic production, the artist plays the echo of this production upon the recipient. Whether this recipient is from the public, art connoisseurs, or private artists, critics and academics. In the past, the boundaries of Time and place had a great effect in limiting this echo or its quality, as the views of the recipients were largely influenced by the prevailing thought or the artistic trends that dominate the artistic scene in the surrounding environment in which the artist created. In order for the artist to show works for the widest segment of the recipient, he bears the burden of the costs of transporting the work, a keeper of damage on the move, and the material amounts that may hinder the publication of the

Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injuries Associated With Mandibular Fractures
...Show More Authors

The study evaluates the incidence of inferior alveolar nerve injuries in mandibular fractures, the duration of their recovery, and the factors associated with them. Fifty-two patients with mandibular fractures involving the ramus, angle, and body regions were included in this study; the inferior alveolar nerve was examined for neurological deficit posttraumatically using sharp/blunt differentiation method, and during the follow-up period the progression of neural recovery was assessed. The incidence of neural injury of the inferior alveolar nerve was 42.3%, comminuted and displaced linear fractures were associated with higher incidence of inferior alveolar nerve injury and prolonged recovery time, and recovery of inferior alveolar nerve fun

Methods: 112 placentae samples were investigated during the period from August 2007 to August 2008 under light microscopefor mother aged 15 - 45 years old.Results: It was found that normal placental shapes had no correlation to mother age, while abnormal shapes were found more inyoung age groups. The better placental measured parameters were found in mother age 20-24 years. The percentages ofabnormal umbilical cord insertion were very high compared to other studies. Babies’ gender had a correlation with theplacental thickness; male babies have thicker placentae than females. Male babies have longer umbilical cords with widerdiameter than females. Light microscope picture showed the chorionic villi with isolated fetal blood vessel were hig

...Show More Authors

Image processing applications are currently spreading rapidly in industrial agriculture. The process of sorting agricultural fruits according to their color comes first among many studies conducted in industrial agriculture. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study by developing an agricultural crop separator with a low economic cost, however automatically works to increase the effectiveness and efficiency in sorting agricultural crops. In this study, colored pepper fruits were sorted using a Pixy2 camera on the basis of algorithm image analysis, and by using a TCS3200 color sensor on the basis of analyzing the outer surface of the pepper fruits, thus This separation process is done by specifying the pepper according to the color of it

A distinction was made between hemodynamically stable and
unstable patients. Different modalities of surgical procedures
were done concentrating on perihepatic gauze packing.
Results: (60 out of 138) patients included in the study were
clinically evaluated as hemodynamically stable. The average
abbreviated injury severity score (ISS) was 25. Twenty
