In human beings a striking loss of pigment may occur in the skin and hair surrounding normal nevi, the primary sites of melanomas, cutaneous nodules of metastatic melanoma, and over the surface in the form of vitiligo in those with melanomas. It is generally assumed that vitiliginous changes are associated with .he local destruction of normal melanocytes on either an autoimmune or cytotoxic bas...

Cultural conceptions of morality are grounded in diverse moral foundations, but identity research often assumes that individualizing concerns the universal basis for morality. Moral scales only foundations risk liberal ethnocentrism, to extent binding emphasized collectivist cultures overlooked. Three hundred and ninety-five Saudi Arabian UK participants completed prejudice measures, which eith...

Almost all climate models in Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project phase five (CMIP5) were found to have a cold bias in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over the northern Arabian Sea, which is linked to the biases in the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM). This cold SST bias was attributed to the anomalous cold winds from the north-western part of south Asian landmass during boreal winter. However, the ...

The Arabian species of the Tetramoriumsquaminode-group are treated. Tetramoriumsquaminode Santschi, 1911 is recorded for the first time from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula. Keys to the two Arabian species of the Tetramoriumsquaminode-group, Tetramoriumlatinode Collingwood & Agosti, 1996 and Tetramoriumsquaminode, based on worker and queen castes, are given and a regional ...

Introduction: The evaluation of musculoskeletal system in horse veterinary medicine is very important because of its effect on equine performance. The current study provided an ultrasonography description of the palmar tendons and ligaments of the metacarpus in pure Persian Arabian horses.

Incidence of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) in the Saudi Arabian population has not been studied before. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to define the population-based incidence rates and histopathological types of MOGCTs in the Saudi Arabian population from 1999 to 2008. Our study showed that MOGCTs are a common type of ovarian tumors in the Saudi Arabian popula...

Population of the State of Kuwait is composed of three genetic subgroups of inferred Persian, Saudi Arabian tribe and Bedouin ancestry. The Saudi Arabian tribe subgroup traces its origin to the Najd region of Saudi Arabia. By sequencing two whole genomes and thirteen exomes from this subgroup at high coverage (.40X), we identify 4,950,724 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), 515,802 indels a...
