Khat chewing, though a tradition followed majorly in African countries, has of late spread widely across the globe due to faster transport systems and advanced preservation techniques.Many complications such as psychosis, arterial hypertension, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction have been reported in connection to khat abuse.We present a ca
Tibial fractures are common injuries in people.The proper treatment of these fractures is important in order to recover complete mobility.The aim of this work was to investigate if screw positioning in plates for proximal tibial fractures can affect the stability of the system, and if it can consequently influence the patient healing time.In fact,
This study was carried out in order to investigate the effects of different types of resins and also their mixtures on the impregnated paper properties.In this regard, pure urea resin (100%), mixture of melamine and urea resins with various combinations (60/40 and 70/30 and 50/50), mixture of nano-fiber cellulose ratios of 1, 2 and 3 percent with u
Natural polymers have shown tremendous potential towards the development of hydrogels with tissue regeneration properties.Among them, chitosan and dextran are polysaccharides widely applied in the wound dressing area owing to their mucoadhesiveness, biodegradability, hemostatic potential, and intrinsic antibacterial activity, while glycerol is a we
