Post-Operative Computed Tomography to Evaluate the Accuracy of Thoracic and Lumbosacral Spine Pedicular Screw Fixation
...Show More Authors

 Background: pedicular screw fixation is rapidly becoming a widely used method of spinal instrumentation. Despite improvement in design of instruments and surgical technique and the use of intra-operative fluoroscopy, pedicle cortical perforations occur endangering nearby neurovascular or extra vertebral structures.
Objective: This is a prospective (consecutive cases study) designed for Evaluation of incidence of pedicle screw misplacement in our study sample, compare our results to what is published in literature.
Patients and Method: This study involved 25 adult patients ( 10 males and 15 females ) their age ranged between ( 18 and 70 years) who underwent spinal surgery with pedicle screw fixation for different disorders of thoracic and lumbosacral spine with the aid of intraoperative fluoroscopy. Computed Tomography (CT) scan within one month was done for all patients to evaluate the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. Any new neurological symptoms was recorded and correlated with screw misplacement.
Results: 122screws inserted in 25 patients with an overall accuracy of (90.16%), frank misplacement of (4.09% )and questionable penetration of ( 5.73%) , new neurological deficit was seen in (20%) among all misplaced screws and in one case (4%) out of the 25 cases.
Conclusion: pedicle screw fixation surgery is a demanding procedure. Our incidence of screw misplacement is compatible with the lower published results in the literature. Not all patients with frank penetration of the pedicle cortical outlines developed complications.

لفية البحث:  إن جراحة تثبيت العمود الفقري باستخدام مسمار قدم الفقرات أصبحت من الوسائل الشائعة في جراحه العمود الفقري. رغم التطور الذي في تقنيات و تصاميم وسائل هذه ألجراحه و استخدام التصوير ألشعاعي إثناء هذه ألجراحه لازالت هنالك احتماليه وضع هذا المسمار في غير موضعه الصحيح محدثا ثقوبا في قشره قدم الفقرات مهددا أصابه الأحشاء العصبية و الوعائية ما حول الفقرات.

الهدف من الدراسة: تقييم دقه موضع مسمار قدم الفقرات في مجموعه المرضى اللذين شملوا بهذه الدراسة. مقارنه نتائج دراستنا من حيث نسبه عدم ألدقه مع النسب ألمنشوره في الدراسات و البحوث العالمية الأخرى.

طريقه الدراسة: في هذه الدراسة تم ضم 25 مريضا بالغين (10 ذكور و 15 إناث), تتراوح أعمارهم مابين (18-70) عاما اللذين خضعوا لجراحه تثبيت العمود الفقري بواسطة مسمار قدم الفقرات لمختلف العلل الجراحية للعمود الفقري في المنطقة الصدرية والقطنية والعجزية , تم إجراء التصوير المقطعي لجميع المرضى خلال شهر واحد ما بعد ألجراحه لتقييم دقه موضع مسمار قدم الفقرات وقد تم تسجيل إي اختلاطات سريريه عصبيه ما بعد ألجراحه.

النتائج: لقد تم وضع 122 مسمارا في 25 مريضا وقد كانت النسبة ألعامه لصحة موضع مسمار قدم الفقرات (90,16%) و كانت نسبه عدم الصحة (4,09%) و كانت نسبه (5,73%) غير واضحة و مشكوك في صحة موضعها لقد لوحظ وجود اختلاطات عصبيه في 20%من العدد الكلي للمسامير ,في مريض واحد 4% من أصل 25 مريضا.

الاستنتاجات : إن جراحه تثبيت العمود الفقري بواسطة مسمار قدم الفقرات جراحه تتطلب دقه و خبره في هذا المجال, نسبه عدم صحة موضع مسمار قدم الفقرات في دراستنا مقاربه إلى اوطا النسب ألمسجله في الدراسات و البحوث ألمنشوره عالميا.

Studying the Effect of Permeability Prediction on Reservoir History Matching by Using Artificial Intelligence and Flow Zone Indicator Methods
...Show More Authors

The map of permeability distribution in the reservoirs is considered one of the most essential steps of the geologic model building due to its governing the fluid flow through the reservoir which makes it the most influential parameter on the history matching than other parameters. For that, it is the most petrophysical properties that are tuned during the history matching. Unfortunately, the prediction of the relationship between static petrophysics (porosity) and dynamic petrophysics (permeability) from conventional wells logs has a sophisticated problem to solve by conventional statistical methods for heterogeneous formations. For that, this paper examines the ability and performance of the artificial intelligence method in perme

Survey of Some Heavy Metals and Radioactivity in the Dust in A Selected Area in Kirkuk Governorate- Northern Iraq
...Show More Authors

      Air pollution means the release of pollutants into the atmosphere, which are harmful to human health and the planet as a whole. Almost all air pollutants come from production and energy use. In the present work, an assessment of some heavy metals, natural radioactivity and the quantity of dust fallen in three sites (Tessen, Rahemawa, and Laylan) in Kirkuk Governorate, northern Iraq. Three dust samples were collected from three locations (residential, commercial and industrial areas). The collected samples were analyzed for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, and radioactivity (Gamma rays). The studied heavy metals (Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn) exceeded their limits in the atmosphere due to the increase in the number of automobiles, which

Numerical Approach for the Prediction of Formation and Hydraulic Fracture Properties Considering Elliptical Flow Regime in Tight Gas Reservoirs
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>As tight gas reservoirs (TGRs) become more significant to the future of the gas industry, investigation into the best methods for the evaluation of field performance is critical. While hydraulic fractured well in TRGs are proven to be most viable options for economic recovery of gas, the interpretation of pressure transient or well test data from hydraulic fractured well in TGRs for the accurate estimation of important reservoirs and fracture properties (e.g. fracture length, fracture conductivity, skin and reservoir permeability) is rather very complex and difficult because of the existence of multiple flow profiles/regimes. The flow regimes are complex in TGRs due to the large hydraulic fractures n</p> ... Show More

The Effects of Conductance on Metastable Switches in Memristive Devices Based on Anti-Hebbian and Hebbian (AHaH) Learning Rules
...Show More Authors

     In the last few years, the literature conferred a great interest in studying the feasibility of using memristive devices for computing. Memristive devices are important in structure, dynamics, as well as functionalities of artificial neural networks (ANNs) because of their resemblance to biological learning in synapses and neurons regarding switching characteristics of their resistance. Memristive architecture consists of a number of metastable switches (MSSs). Although the literature covered a variety of memristive applications for general purpose computations, the effect of low or high conductance of each MSS was unclear. This paper focuses on finding a potential criterion to calculate the conductance of each M
