Initial Chest X-ray scoring in the prediction of COVID-19 patients’ outcome in the United Arab Emirates
...Show More Authors

Background: The radiological scoring of severity and progression of lung abnormalities is of great value for clinicians to define the clinical management of COVID-19 patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to implement the Brixia scoring tool to assess the pattern of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 to help predict the severity of their clinical outcome, where the clinical outcome correlates to outpatient, inpatient and/or ICU admission.

Patients and Methods: We conducted a case series study at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City Ajman (SKMCA), United Arab Emirates from 14 March to 30 October 2020. Patients’ medical records were reviewed and followed up from the time of diagnosis until discharge and/or death. The patients were included based on the following criteria: Confirmed COVID-19 infection via RT-PCR assay, symptoms of COVID-19 within one week prior to presenting at the hospital and an initial Chest X-ray at hospital presentation. Two independent and experienced radiologists implemented the Brixia scoring tool for the assessment of pulmonary involvement detected on CXR of patients with COVID-19.

Results: We reported cut-off values of the CXR score to be 7 for ICU admission (sensitivity=84.1%) and a cut-off score of 9 to predict the outcome of death (sensitivity=70.4%); where both values were statistically significant with p-value <0.001. Age and co-morbid conditions potentiate the CXR score.

Conclusion: Patients with a Brixia score higher than the cut-off value would require ICU admission. In addition to the Brixia scoring tool, age and pre-existing co-morbid diseases are important predictors of the clinical outcome. CXR can serve as a valuable factor for risk stratification for clinical outcome in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

The social effects of the legislative omission: دراسة مقارنة
...Show More Authors

The effectiveness and quality of legislation depends on the extent to which they respond to the political, social, economic and moral reality. The quality of the legislation is not limited to professional drafting, accuracy, clarity, comprehensiveness, accessibility and understanding, but also depends on the reality of this legislation and its acceptance and application by those who are addressed to them. Therefore, any shortage or deficiency in these legislations would make these laws separate from the reality and enter into the circle of legislative alienation. In this study, we tried to focus on the social effects of the legislator's failure to organize all the necessary aspects of the effectiveness of rights or liberties subject of o

Calibrating the Reservoir Model of the Garraf Oil Field
...Show More Authors

   History matching is a significant stage in reservoir modeling for evaluating past reservoir performance and predicting future behavior. This paper is primarily focused on the calibration of the dynamic reservoir model for the Meshrif formation, which is the main reservoir in the Garraf oilfield. A full-field reservoir model with 110 producing wells is constructed using a comprehensive dataset that includes geological, pressure-volume-temperature (PVT), and rock property information. The resulting 3D geologic model provides detailed information on water saturation, permeability, porosity, and net thickness to gross thickness for each grid cell, and forms the basis for constructing the dynamic reservoir model. The dynamic reservoir mo

The sound legal thinking that reaches sound legal results is the basis of the legal faculty that is defined as: the faculty of the legal person to understand the legal language verbally and meaningfully and coexist in it and deal with it and realize and choose what words it can from it when needed during work and professional dealing, but this thinking does not have a methodology in specific and specific jurisprudence, as the faculty does not have a fixed size or a certain limit, but is flexible and expands It grows as its owner fills it with legal information and practical experience. The legal faculty has not been regulated by the legislator, in addition to the fact that the judiciary and jurisprudence have not dealt with this by expre
