Unilateral absence of the internal carotid artery associated with anterior communicating artery aneurysms: Systematic review and a proposed management algorithm
...Show More Authors
Background:

Absence or hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare congenital anomaly that is mostly unilateral and highly associated with other intracranial vascular anomalies, of which saccular aneurysm is the most common. Blood flow to the circulation of the affected side is maintained by collateral pathways, some of which include the anterior communicating artery (Acom) as part of their anatomy. Therefore, temporary clipping during microsurgery on Acom aneurysms in patients with unilateral ICA anomalies could jeopardize these collaterals and place the patient at risk of ischemic damage. In this paper, we review the literature on cases with a unilaterally absent ICA associated with Acom aneurysms and provide an illustrative case.

Methods:

We combined our experience of one case of a unilaterally absent ICA associated with an Acom aneurysm with the 33 existing publications on the same subject in the literature, for a total of 40 cases. We provide a detailed systematic literature review of this association of vascular anomalies, exploring different aspects regarding the collateral pathways and how they impact management strategies and propose a management algorithm to deal with such association.

Results:

The mean age was 48.2 ± 16.5 years. The aneurysmal rupture was the most common presentation (75%). Agenesis was observed in 70% of patients, followed by hypoplasia (20%) and, finally, aplasia (10%). Lie Type A was the most common pattern of collaterals (50%), with Types B and D being of almost equal proportions. Most aneurysms were located at the A1-Acom junction contralateral to the anomalous side (Fisher’s Exact test;P= 0.03). One case of temporary clipping was reported in the literature.

Conclusion:

Acom aneurysms in patients with unilateral ICA anomalies, given they are more commonly present contralaterally, could be of acquired etiology, warranting periodic screening in asymptomatic patients. Temporary clipping might be safe in patients with Type D collateral pattern, while those with Types A or B may require intraoperative rupture risk assessment and a tailored management plan to avoid disrupting collateral flow and causing ischemia.

Agenesis of flexor pollicis longus without thenar hypoplasia: a case report and literature review
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>We present a case of congenital of flexor pollicis longus agenesis without thenar hypoplasia in a 12-year-old girl with no history of trauma. Two-staged corrective surgery was planned. In the first stage, the flexor pulley was reconstructed using silicone followed by the second stage 3 months later when flexor pollicis longus reconstruction was performed using tendon transfer of the flexor digitorum superficialis. The patient completed post-operative physiotherapy and the result of the surgical treatment in both functional and cosmetic aspects was, in the authors’ opinion, excellent.</p>

Dynamic Background Subtraction in Video Surveillance Using Color-Histogram and Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm with Cosine Similarity
...Show More Authors

The background subtraction is a leading technique adopted for detecting the moving objects in video surveillance systems. Various background subtraction models have been applied to tackle different challenges in many surveillance environments. In this paper, we propose a model of pixel-based color-histogram and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) to obtain the background model using cosine similarity (CS) to measure the closeness between the current pixel and the background model and eventually determine the background and foreground pixel according to a tuned threshold. The performance of this model is benchmarked on CDnet2014 dynamic scenes dataset using statistical metrics. The results show a better performance against the state-of the art

((Requirements for raising the efficiency and development of rail transport in Iraq according to proposed scenarios))
...Show More Authors

Abstract:

 The research concerned the study of the railway transport sector in selected countries that sought to raise the efficiency of the railway network and develop it, after realizing the importance of this vital sector, which is a link between it and the rest of the other economic sectors.

The research sought to explain the methods, methods and procedures adopted by these countries for the development of the railway sector, and to benefit from these experiments to improve the efficiency of the railway transport sector in Iraq.

The railway transport sector in Iraq suffers from the erosion of railway lines and mobile units such as locomotives, pas
