PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess whether clinically useful measures of fixation instability and eccentricity can be derived from retinal tracking data obtained during optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with optic neuropathy (ON) and to develop a method for relating fixation to the retinal ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness. METHODS Twenty-nine patients with ON un...

Global Climate Change (GCC) is the increase in global temperature and change average climate values. The becoming an 'emergency' that cannot be ignored anymore called crisis. There also a need for reliable validated scales to measure attitudes towards GCC. This study focused on university students' scale (GCCS) development validation. In study, four factor scale, Knowledge, Awareness, Perceived...

Purpose The main objective of the study is to investigate effect COVID-19 on accounting education in higher (public and private universities) Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Design/methodology/approach explorative nature conducted with quantitative survey approach using purposive techniques collecting data. sample focuses teaching staff at public universities (GCC), Kingdom Saudi Arabia, United...

We evaluated the ability of spectral-domain optic coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to differentiate large physiological optic disc cupping (LPC) from glaucomatous cupping in eyes with intraocular pressure (IOP) within the normal range. We prospectively enrolled patients with glaucoma or presumed LPC. Participants had optic discs with confirmed or suspected glaucomatous damage (defined as a vertica...

PURPOSE To identify the factors which significantly contribute to the thickness variabilities in macular retinal layers measured by optical coherence tomography with or without magnification correction of analytical areas in normal subjects. METHODS The thickness of retinal layers {retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer plus inner plexiform layer (GCLIPL), RNFL plus GCLIPL (gan...

OBJECTIVES To examine the prevalence of risk factors for diabetes and its complications in the Co-operation Council of the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) region. DESIGN Systematic review. SETTING Co-operation Council of the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) states (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait). PARTICIPANTS Residents of the GCC states participating in studi...

Purpose To report longitudinal changes over time after surgery in the topography of the optic disc, thickness of the circum papillary retinal nerve fiber layer (c-RNFL), and thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex (m-GCC) in a case of juvenile open angle glaucoma. Observations Case report based on one patient. After significant edema of the optic disc for 2 months, the cup depth and cu...

Irrespective of the prevailing fashion, Germinal Centre Conferences (GCC) have treated the immune system in a determinedly holistic manner. At the recent 10th GCC* the advantages of this approach were demonstrated in elegant new schema for lymphocyte development, accessory cell function, tolerance and autoimmunity, and for the organization and function of mucosal defence. This report concentrat...

We benchmarked an ARM cortex-A9 based server system with a four-core CPU running at 1.1 GHz. The system used Ubuntu 12.04 as operating system and the HEPSPEC 2006 (HS06) benchmarking suite was compiled natively with gcc-4.4 on the system. The benchmark was run for various settings of the relevant gcc compiler options. We did not find significant influence from the compiler options on the benchm...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. These cells can proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into all cell lineages. Germ cell cancers (GCC) mimic embryonic development to a certain extent. The origin of GCC trace back to primordial germ cells/gonocytes in the embryo, which determines their specific characteristics such as totipo...
