No full textThis study was carried out to investigate thrombotic
meningoencephalitis in cattle and its etiologic agent
Haemophilus somnus.
Hundred bulls` preputial cavities were examined
bacteriologically, only one isolate of Haemophilus somnus was
recovered. Identification of the new isolate was based on
morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics and on slide
agglutination test, using hyper immune sera againist known isolates.
The study indicated that the organism presently identified as
Haemophilus somnus-like may normally form a bacterial flora of the
bovine prepuce and that dissemination from the male reproductive
tract is one possible means of infection in Haemophilus somnusassociated
diseases and mainly thrombotic meningoencephalitis.
Other bacteria isolated were Staphylococcus species (53%),
Micrococcus species (50%), Bacillus species (12%), Streptococcus
species (2%), Proteus species (27%) and Rothia species (2%).
From 1311 cattle examined at different forms, 74 showed
typical signs of thrombotic meningoencephalitis such as
hypersensitivity, respiratory distress, stairy coat with hair
overgrowth, sharp decreasing in milk production and knuckling at
the fetlock in some animals. Some affected animals were dull and
5
staying in dark, wet and cool places for a long time and others were
aggressive and fierce.
Sera obtained from cattle showing clinical signs of the disease
were tested for presence of Haemophilus somnus antibodies using
slide agglutination test (SAT), using antigens prepared from six
different strains of Haemophilus somnus namely 2, 10, 12, 13a, 13b
and the strain isolated during this study "Hadeel". The seropositivity
were 13.5%, 85.1%, 20.3%, 18.9%, 64.2% and 85.1% respectively.
The prevalence of the disease on the total cattle examined was about
5.65%.
Administration of Enrofloxacin (Avitryl -5) subcutaneously to
affected cattle at dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight for five successive
days and then repeated after 20days gave rise to a successful
treatment of the disease.
In vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing using standard disk
diffusion test, Haemophilus somnus-like organism six strains were
tested with six different antibiotics: Sulphonamides, Erythromycin,
Gentamicin, Penicillin G, Tetracycline and Enrofloxacin. Results
differed from a strain to another but the most effective drugs against
the six strains were Enrofloxacin and Gentamicin.
Immunogenicity of a Haemophilus somnus bacterin
administrated subcutaneously was evaluated in three heifers. The
bacterin was pool from the five strains (10, 12, 13a, 13b and Hadeel)
and it was a killed bacterin. The heifers were vaccinated with two
doses of the bacterin 14 days apart. The three heifers showed various
6
levels of antibodies titers ranging from 1×102 to 1×109 when tested
by tube agglutination test (TAT).
In conclusion, Haemophilus somnus was proved to be part of
bulls` preputial cavities normal flora. Significant responses to
treatment with Enrofloxacin were achieved in affected animals and
immunity to Haemophilus somnus immunogenicity in cattle can be
attained by dead crude vaccin

Box 34224, Saudi Arabia, Tel +966555197355, Email [email protected]: Palmoplantar psoriasis is a rare, chronic, localized variant of psoriasis. It represents 3– 4% of all psoriasis cases and is characterized by hyperkeratotic or desquamative erythematous plaques with fissures and erosions exhibiting acral distribution. Occasionally, superimposed sterile pustulations may also occur. New-onset psoriasis and various clinical subtypes of psoriasis exacerbation have been reported following the administration of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, with plaque-type psoriasis being the most common. However, palmar psoriasis has not yet been reported in association with COVID-19 vaccination. Herein, we present a case of new-onset palmar psoriasis along with nail changes following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, which was further exacerbated following successive vaccine doses.Keywords: psoriasis, palmoplantar, mRNA vaccine, COVID-1

Suggesting new words to extract keywords from title and abstract
No full textWhen talking about the fundamentals of writing research papers, we find that keywords are still present in most research papers, but that does not mean that they exist in all of them, we can find papers that do not contain keywords. Keywords are those words or phrases that accurately reflect the content of the research paper. Keywords are an exact abbreviation of what the research carries in its content. The right keywords may increase the chance of finding the article or research paper and chances of reaching more people who should reach them. The importance of keywords and the essence of the research and address is mainly to attract these highly specialized and highly influential writers in their fields and who specialize in reading what holds the appropriate characteristics but they do not read and cannot read everything. In this paper, we extract new keywords by suggesting a set of words, these words were suggested according to the many mentioned in the researches with multiple disciplines in the field of computer. In our system, we take a number of words (as many as specified in the program) that come before the proposed words and consider it as new keywords. This system proved to be effective in finding keywords that correspond to some extent with the keywords developed by the author in his research
The Utilization of Pediatric Hip Spica Tables Among Orthopedic Surgeons: Locally Customized versus Company-Manufactured (Cross-Sectional Study)

Locally customized spica tables can be a significant concern if their limitations significantly interfere with the quality of care.Objective: This study aims to explore the current practice of pediatric hip spica table application among hospitals in the GCC countries and report comprehensive data that help surgeons enhance their practice.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on pediatric orthopedic surgeons using a self-administered Online Questionnaire. The respondents were grouped as those using locally customized tables, where further information about the material and characteristics were collected, and those using company manufactured tables. Both groups answered analytical questions related to their current practice of hip spica tables.Results: Sixty-three surgeons completed the survey. More than half the physicians in this study are using locally customized spica tables (n= 41, 65%). Compared to company-manufactured tables, locally customized tables were associated with a higher rate of difficulties when taking an X-ray, when the patient weighs more than 50.0 kg, and with anesthesia, although not statistically significant.Conclusion: Obtaining a good quality spica table at a suitable price is a primary obstacle pediatric orthopedic surgeons face. This study shows no statistically significant difference between locally customized and company-manufactured tables regarding the outcomes and that spica tables have room for development to optimize their utilization.Keywords: spica tables, pediatric orthopedics, spica cast, developmental dysplasia of the Hip, DDH, fracture
