Private care is, however, expensive and it’s therefore important to be covered by a health insurance plan.<br /><br />All cities and major towns have at least one modern hospital and usually several others with highly trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment. Poorer sections of the cities have older facilities, which nevertheless offer acceptable services. Hospitals are listed in telephone directories and the yellow pages, and addresses can be found in tourist publications. When choosing a hospital, your best bet is to seek recommendations from colleagues and friends.<br /><br />There are several different types of hospital, including public and private hospitals and military establishments. Some hospitals in the private sector are luxuriously appointed and could easily pass as five-star hotel accommodation. Their prices are at a similar level.<br /><br />Most of Saudi Arabia’s private hospitals have an out-patients’ department and an accident and emergency unit, although casualties are likely to be directed towards public hospitals by the emergency services, e.g. in the case of road accidents.<br /><br />The term ‘clinic’ is used to denote a general practitioner’s surgery.<br /><br />There’s little overcrowding in hospitals and clinics in Saudi Arabia, where hospitals and major clinics are open 24 hours a day and usually operate on a first come, first served basis. Arabic and English are widely spoken, English being frequently used in private hospitals, where many staff and most patients are foreign. Accommodation in private hospitals is generally in single rooms rather than wards, and parents can stay with their children. Facilities usually include such ‘luxuries’ as a television and radio in every room, a cafeteria, a mosque or prayer room and a library. Costs for accommodation vary considerably, according to whether a hospital is super-luxurious (i.e. with a large mosque and library) or more modest (i.e. with small ones). Treatment costs usually vary according to the standard of accommodation.<br /><br />Some of the country’s hospitals aren’t only regionally renowned, but internationally recognised for their quality, particularly the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (Tel. 966-1-464 7272) and the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Tel. 966-1-482 1234). Other hospitals include the Maternity and Children’s Hospital (Tel. 966-2-665 2600) and King Fahad Hospital in Jeddah (Tel. 966-2-665 6436) and the King Fahad National Guard Hospital (Tel. 966-1-252 0088), King Khaled University Hospital (Tel. 966-1-467 0011), Riyadh Royal Armed Forces Hospital (Tel. 966-1-477 7714) and Security Forces Hospital (Tel. 966-1-477 4480) in Riyadh.<br /><br />The standard of health services in Saudi Arabia is high, as health care is given priority and plenty of investment, and there’s a wide range of facilities in clinics and hospitals across the nation.<br /><br />Public and private health care are available to all residents, although you’re less likely to need to wait for private treatment.

You can download them for free and use them during a temporary period... After you evaluate them, YOU MUST BUY THE BOOKS you want... It is unfair you to keep a copy without paying it because authors must earn money to survive!! You are responsible for your acts!<br />Sometimes we think a book is superb, we buy it, and after some reading we get disappointed and we think "I wasted my money with this useless book! What a fool I was!"...<br />This blog will help you to choose what are the books you really think that deserve to be bought by you...<br /><br /><br /><br />To buy "printed books" ("PaperBack" or "HardCover"), I suggest: <br /><br /><br />Amazon.com<br />http://www.amazon.com/<br /><br /><br />or<br /><br /><br />eBay <br />http://www.ebay.com/<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If you prefer to buy eBooks ("digital books"), I suggest:<br /><br /><br />eBooks.com<br />http://www.ebooks.com/<br /><br /><br /><br />or<br /><br /><br />Diesel eBooks<br />http://diesel-ebooks.com/<br /><br /><br /><br />Sometimes eBay also has eBooks to sell, although eBay is not the best option to buy eBooks (eBay is very good to buy "printed ebooks" rather than "eBooks").<br /><br /><br /><br />You can find more information about "eBooks Technology" at Wikipedia:<br /><br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebook<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/149960232887695141-7699609588486675500?l=ticpeny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>asgharnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149960232887695141.post-66642775501401488152010-04-24T06:45:00.001-07:002010-04-24T06:45:19.417-07:002010-04-24T06:45:19.417-07:0025 Health Benefits of Lemons<br /><br />Lemon is one of those super foods with a myriad health and cosmetic benefits.

Like its smaller sibling, the Kindle DX offers several improvements over the original Kindle e-reader. The Kindle DX can store more content, display more shades of gray, has a faster processor, offers better navigation controls, and more. The DX also offers features the Kindle 2 lacks?the ability to automatically rotate between portrait and landscape views, native PDF support, and an improved Web browser.<br /><br />Yet, the Kindle DX?s enhancements come with a price. The unit is heavy, cumbersome to carry, and expensive. If you?re a voracious reader who travels frequently, needs a large screen, and doesn?t care about price, the Kindle DX is worth a look.<br /><br />You can find all of our geek product reviews on the Geek Gifts 2009 focus page.<br />Specifications<br /><br /> * Screen size: 9.7? diagonal E ink (1,200 x 824-pixel resolution)<br /> * Dimensions (W x D x H): 7.2 in x 0.4 in x 10.4 in<br /> * Weight: 1.1 lbs<br /> * Storage: 4GB (3.3GB useable - 3,500 books)<br /> * 3G wireless (U.S. only - Sprint EVDO with 1xRTT backup)<br /> * QWERTY keyboard<br /> * Nonremovable battery<br /> * Micro-USB connector (USB 2.0)<br /> * Auto-rotating display (landscape or portrait)<br /> * Native PDF support<br /> * Text-to-Speech (on some titles)<br /> * Price: $489<br /><br />What I like<br /><br />The Kindle DX offers 2.5 times more screen space than the Kindle 2. This is by far the unit?s best feature. The larger screen definitely improves the reading experience for books (especially if you need to increase the font size of the text). And, the larger screen makes images and graphics easier to view. Unfortunately, the larger screen does not significantly enhance the reading experience for newspapers, magazines, or Web pages?a task the DX was specifically designed for. Although the unit automatically switches between portrait and landscape view, depending on how you hold the device, even the wider view doesn?t give you same feel as full-size magazine or newspaper page.<br /><br />The Kindle DX has more memory than its smaller sibling?4GB on the DX compared to 2GB on the Kindle 2. According to Amazon, 3.3GB of that space is available to store content and the Kindle DX can hold 3,500 titles. (At $9.99 a title, a full Kindle DX would hold just under $35,000 worth of content.)<br /><br />The device offers good battery life. With average use, a full charge should last you about two weeks, provided you use the wireless connection sparingly. The navigation controls have also been improved since the original Kindle. The DX and Kindle 2 now have a small 5-way control stick, which is used to navigate most menus. This is an improvement over the original Kindle?s scroll wheel. The page navigation buttons are well placed and easy to operate. It?s also more difficult to accidently press them than on the original Kindle.<br /><br />Overall, the Kindle DX is a significant improvement over the first Kindle, and its size, built-in PDF support, and landscape view give it a slight advantage over the Kindle 2. Still, the unit has flaws.<br />What I don?t like<br /><br />The Kindle DX?s larger size comes at a price?more weight and less portability. At 1.1 pounds, the Kindle DX is nearly twice the weight of the Kindle 2. I could definitely feel the difference when holding the DX for several hours. The Kindle DX is also unlikely to fit inside most jacket pockets or small bags. You?ll need a backpack, laptop bag, or large purse to tote the DX around. A carrying case is therefore a necessity. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn?t include one with the device (as it did with the original Kindle). A leather cover for the DX from Amazon will cost you $49.99. Other annoyances include the lack of an SD card slot and a non-removable battery.<br /><br />But like Amazon?s first e-reader, the Kindle DX?s biggest weakness is the unit?s steep price tag. With tax and shipping, our Kindle DX was over $500. Throw in a cover and you?re over $550. That?s an awful lot to pay when you can purchase a Kindle 2 for $359 or download Amazon?s own Kindle iPhone/iPod Touch application for free.<br />Geek bottom Line<br /><br />My impression of the Kindle hasn?t changed much from my review of the original Kindle in 2008. The Kindle DX, and indeed the Kindle 2, will likely appeal to readers who fit the following profile:<br /><br /> * Avid readers who consume several books and/or periodicals a month<br /> * Travelers who don?t want to carry multiple books, magazines, newspapers, etc.<br /> * Those not interested in building a physical library<br /><br />Unfortunately for travelers, the Kindle DX?s size and weigh make it less than ideal. If portability is your main concern, you should seriously consider the Kindle 2 over the Kindle DX. The smaller sibling costs less and is more portable.<br /><br />Lastly, the Kindle DX just doesn?t have much of a ?geek factor? this year. When the original Kindle was released in late 2007, e-readers were extremely rare. Having one meant you were a real book and gadget geek. But this year, there are more alternatives.<br /><br />Sony has released several new e-readers and plans to release one with wireless connectivity. Barnes & Noble hopes to release its Nook e-book reader before this Christmas. The Nook will feature a 3.5? color touchscreen for navigation and a larger grayscale E ink display for reading. It will also have an SD card slot, Wi-Fi, and run on Google?s Android OS. Several other companies, such as Spring Design and Plastic Logic, have also announced plans to release e-book readers in late 2009 or early 2010.<br /><br />The Kindle DX is a nice improvement over the original Kindle and offers a few advantages over the Kindle 2, but with the market heating up, those looking for an e-book reader should look at all their options.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/149960232887695141-7969024314659737978?l=ticpeny.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>asgharnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149960232887695141.post-58880644153162609562009-11-01T04:49:00.001-08:002009-11-01T04:49:13.416-08:002009-11-01T04:49:13.416-08:00Abstract<br />Epidemic Viral Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a type of adenovirus ocular infection.

EKC is highly contagious and has the tendency to occur in epidemics. <br /><br />More than 50 serotypes of adenovirus have been isolated, and at least 19 documented serotypes cause EKC. (15)<br /><br />The most commonly associated serotypes include adenovirus 8, 19, and 37; and, less frequently, serotype 2-5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 21, and 29. Because of low, natural immunity against adenovirus in the general population (e.g., adenovirus type 8 antibodies are found in <5% of the general population in the US), every individual is considered susceptible to infection. (2)<br /><br />Adenovirus strains of a new type were isolated from patients with epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis. They were not completely neutralized by any antiserum against adenovirus prototypes. PCR followed by restriction endonuclease analysis demonstrated that they were type 8. PCR followed by sequencing revealed a high homology rate between them and type 9. (14)<br /><br />Human adenovirus type 37 (HAdV-37) is a major cause of epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis and has recently been the largest causative agent of Keratoconjunctivitis in Japan. (17) <br /><br />Adenovirus types 8 and 19 are responsible for epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis and they are highly contagious for up to 2 weeks. (10) <br /><br />A tandem mass spectrometry-based approach is demonstrated for detecting a receptor for Ad37, one of the causative agents for epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis. Partial purification of membrane glycoproteins was performed by using lectin-affinity chromatography and sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Gel bands that were shown to bind AD37 by using Viral Overlay Protein Blot Assay (VOPBA) were excised, proteolyzed and analyzed by using liquid chromatography coupled to nano-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) to identify putative receptors contained in a mixture of proteins. (19)<br /><br />Four candidate receptors were identified among approximately 50 proteins based on a search against a protein database. Inhibition of gene delivery mediated by an AD37 vector, with antibodies against the glycoproteins identified by tandem mass spectrometry, strongly indicated that Membrane Cofactor Protein (MCP), a member of the complement regulatory family of proteins, is the receptor. This rapid and sensitive mass spectrometry based strategy is perceived to have wide potential applications for the detection of viral receptors. (19) <br /><br />The incubation period is 2-14 days and the person may remain infectious for 10-14 days after symptoms develop. (15)<br /><br />It is characterized by conjunctivitis: acute onset of watering redness, foreign body sensation and discomfort. Both eyes are affected in 60% of cases. (2)<br /><br />Examination show lid oedema, a follicular response which is frequently associated with a preauricular adenopathy, subconjunctival haemorrahages and pseudomembranes may develop (22)<br /><br />Keratitis occurs in 80 % of cases and divided into 3 stages: <br /><br /><br />Stage 1: occurs within 7-10 days of the onset of symptoms. It is characterized by a diffuse punctate epithelial Keratitis which may resolve or may go to stage 2. <br />Stage 2: is characterized by focal white subepithelial infiltrates which develop beneath the epithelial lesions. They are thought to represent immune response to adenovirus and may be associated with mild transient anterior uveitis. <br />Stage 3: is characterized by anterior stromal infiltrates which may persist for months and even years. (9) <br /><br />No gender predilection exists. The infection is more common in adults, but all age groups can be affected. (15) <br /><br />EKC epidemics tend to occur in closed institutions (e.g., schools, hospitals, camps, nursing homes, workplaces). (5)<br /><br />Direct contact with eye secretions is the major mode of transmission. Other possible methods of transmission are through air droplets and possibly swimming pools. Adenovirus can be recovered from the eye and throat for as long as 14 days after onset of clinical symptoms. (13) <br /><br />Many epidemics have been initiated in ophthalmology outpatient clinics by direct contact with contaminated diagnostic instruments. (15)<br /><br />The following explains the infectious transmission in hospitals and clinics: (1) the virus (adenovirus type 19) remains viable for 5 weeks, (2) the virus is resistant against standard disinfectants such as 70% isopropyl alcohol and ammonia, and (3) the virus sheds from the eye 3 days before and 14 days after symptom onset. (4)<br /><br />Epidemics of Keratoconjunctivitis are often traced to an eye care facility. Disease is commonly spread by ophthalmologists 'contaminated fingers or contaminated instruments and eye drops. (1) <br /><br />Virus can be spread by finger to eye contact; it can also be spread to contaminated instruments such as applanation tonometers. (22)<br /><br />EKC in East Asia and other parts of the world is endemic and does not appear to be transmitted through medical intervention. Viruses were isolated from more than 50% of cases of viral conjunctivitis; adenovirus constituted 94% of the EKC is a self-limiting disease (5)<br /><br />It tends to resolve spontaneously within 1-3 weeks without significant complications. In 20-50% of cases, corneal opacities can persist for a few weeks to months (rarely up to 2 y). This phenomenon can decrease visual acuity significantly and cause glare symptoms .In rare cases; conjunctival scarring and symblepharon can occur secondary to membranous conjunctivitis. (15)<br /><br />The patients recover spontaneously within 2-3 weeks with subepithelial opacities in 80 % of cases which persists for months or years even with the use of topical steroid.(2)<br /><br />It is necessary to pay attention to the health education of population as well as to improve hygienic habits. (13)<br /><br />Aim of the Work<br />In this study we compared between the usual management and the new management of EKC.<br /><br />Patients and Methods<br />523 patients (333 males, 190 females, aged from 4 years to 80 years) were selected in the study in ophthalmic department in Al-kafji national hospital (Saudi Arabia). The study was started in September 2000 up to February 2004.<br /><br />They were divided into two main groups.<br /><br /><br />First group: 163 patients (121 males, 42 females aged from 4 years to 63 years) were treated by the usual management. <br />Second group: 360 patients (212males, 148 females aged from 4 years to 80 years) were treated by the new management. <br />All cases were diagnosed by clinical pictures and conjunctival smear. <br />The clinical picture is characterized by acute onset of watering, redness, foreign body sensation and discomfort. Both eyes are affected in 60% of cases. (9) <br />Examination show lid edema, a follicular response which is frequently associated with a preauricular adenopathy, subconjunctival haemorrahages and pseudo- membranes may develop (3) <br />Conjunctival smear showed predominant lymphocytes which is diagnostic for viral infection. (2) <br />Close follow up for all cases range from 3 months to 4 years. <br /><br />Usual Management<br />Conjunctivitis: non specific antibiotics eye drops and ointments .cold compresses, artificial tears, non steroidal anti inflammatory like voltaren eye drops. (15) <br /><br />Keratitis: topical steroids in stage 3. Steroids do not shorten the course of the disease but merely suppress the corneal inflammation so that the lesions tend to recur if steroid is discontinued prematurely. (2)<br /><br />Modified (New) Management<br /><br />Eye wash with normal saline every day until the patients recovered. <br />Manual removal of pseudomembranes with non toothed forceps and cotton tipped applicators during the eye wash. <br />Antibiotic eye drops (ciprofloxacin) five times daily, choramphenicol eye ointment once by night. <br />Lubricant eye drops (refresh eye drops five times daily). <br />Cold compresses. <br />Topical steroid (fluorometholone eye drops four times daily) in cases of subepithelial infiltrates. <br /><br />Results<br />First group (usual management): <br /><br /><br />150 patients (92.02%) have the usual course of disease and resolve after 3 weeks with anterior stromal infiltrates. The opacities did not resolve even with the use of topical steroids. <br />13 patients (7.97%) have complete recovery without any sequels. <br /><br />Second group (new management):<br /><br /><br />312 patients (86.6%) recover completely within 9-12 days without subepthelial opacities or stromal infiltrates. <br />33 patients (9.1%) recover with subepithelial infiltrates which resolve with the use of topical steroids (fluorometholone). <br />15 patients (4.1%) recover with subepithelial opacities which persist for years even the use of topical steroids (fluorometholone or predinsolone). <br /><br /> <br /><br />Discussion<br />Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis is annoying disease producing discomfort and is highly contagious, usual management did not affect the course of the disease, subepithelial opacities which persist for months or years lead to blurring of vision increase the discomfort of the patient after resolution of infection. (9)<br /><br />Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis is a serious ophthalmologic disease that occurs sporadically in families, schools, health units and it can affect the anterior eye segment like turbidities that influence the eyesight sharpness. There is no treatment proved to be curable. (13)<br /><br />It is necessary to recognize the disease on time, to treat it adequately, to carry out the antiepidemic activities, and to cut the ways of transmission. (14)<br /><br />It is also necessary to pay attention to the health education of population as well as to improve hygienic habits. The prevention is the best protection from EKC keratoconjunctivitis affection as there is no effective antiviral treatment for the disease. (17)<br /><br />Patients and health care personnel have acquired and transmitted epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis during the outbreaks. (3)<br /><br />Viral conjunctivitis is an occupational hazard of eye care physician. Take all precautions possible not to be a victim .The treatment is only supportive. (23) Treatment of Epidemic viral Keratoconjunctivitis is unsatisfactory. (11) <br /><br />Treatment for adenoviral conjunctivitis is supportive. No evidence exists that demonstrates efficacy of antiviral agents. (1)<br /><br />The incubation period ranges from 2 to 14 days, and shedding of virus occurs from late in the incubation period to as long as 14 days after onset of disease. (15) <br /><br />Adenovirus survives for long periods on environmental surfaces; ophthalmologic instruments and equipment can become contaminated and transmit infection. Contaminated hands are also a major source of person-to-person transmission of adenovirus, both from patients to health care personnel and from health care personnel to patients. Hand washing, glove use, and disinfection of instruments can prevent the transmission of adenovirus. (15) <br /><br />The prevention is the best protection of Keratoconjunctivitis affection. (14)<br /><br />The new management was a trial to alleviate the patient discomfort and visual disabilities. It is proved now that the new management is significantly better than the usual management in shortening the course of the disease, decreasing the subepithelial infiltrates (P < 0.0001).<br /><br />Conclusion<br />We conclude from our study that the new management of epidemic viral Keratoconjunctivitis: alleviate the patient's symptoms (redness, swelling, discomfort, photophobia, pain, and tearing), decrease the course of the disease, decrease the occurrence of subepithelial opacities and help topical steroids to vanish residual opacities.<br /><br />References<br />1.
