Abstract	Vehicle tailgating or simply tailgating is a hazardous driving habit. Tailgating occurs when a vehicle moves very close behind another one while not leaving adequate separation distance in case the vehicle in front stops unexpectedly; this separation distance is technically called "Assured Clear Distance Ahead" (ACDA) or Safe Driving Distance. Advancements in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) have made it of tremendous significance to have an intelligent approach for connected vehicles to avoid tailgating; this paper proposes a new Internet of Vehicles (IoV) based technique that enables connected vehicles to determine ACDA or Safe Driving Distance and Safe Driving Speed to avoid a forward collision. The technique assumes two cases: In the first case, the vehicle has Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system, while in the second case, the vehicle has no AEB. Safe Driving Distance and Safe Driving Speed are calculated under several variables. Experimental results show that Safe Driving Distance and Safe Driving Speed depend on several parameters such as weight of the vehicle, tires status, length of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle, type of road (snowy asphalt, wet asphalt, or dry asphalt or icy road) and the weather condition (clear or foggy). The study found that the technique is effective in calculating Safe Driving Distance, thereby resulting in forward collision avoidance by connected vehicles and maximizing road utilization by dynamically enforcing the minimum required safe separating gap as a function of the current values of the affecting parameters, including the speed of the surrounding vehicles, the road condition, and the weather condition.

Abstract	The perennial plant Echinops spinosus (ES) grows in the Hail area of Saudi Arabia, and its traditional formulations are often employed in folk medicine. The goal of this study is to identify the active components present in Hail Echinops spinosus and to investigate the anti-diabetic properties of both ES total extract (ESTE) and its high flavonoids fraction (ESHFF) in experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection in rats. Forty-two rats were divided into six groups. Diabetes was induced using STZ (55 mg/kg). Seven days after STZ administration, the diabetic animals were treated daily with ESTE, ESHFF, or metformin (MET) as a standard anti-diabetic drug for 28 days. Blood and tissues samples were collected for biochemical, molecular, and histological investigations. Both ESTE and ESHFF demonstrated anti-diabetic properties, as evidenced by lowering glucose levels and increasing the levels of insulin, insulin receptor expression rate, and glycogen synthesis. Additionally, ESTE as well as ESHFF alleviated diabetic complications in the kidneys and liver by decreasing oxidative stress, modulating inflammatory mediators, and suppressing the apoptotic cascade along with correcting diabetic dyslipidemia. It could be deduced that Hail ES extracts could play a role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related lesions as well as oxidative damage in hepatic and renal tissues.

Abstract	Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) associated with maxillofacial fractures (MFFs) are a public health concern worldwide, especially among adult-aged males. There is an urgent need for early detection of associated TBIs in patients with MFFs during the initial assessment and treatment stage to reduce morbidity and mortality. The objective of the present study was to systematically review the literature to determine specific MFF situations associated with TBIs and to identify the factors associated with TBIs in patients with MFFs. The protocol was developed in accord with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) and was registered to the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number CRD42020155912. Overall, of 26,774 patients recorded, 13,667 patients (51.04%) sustained MFFs with an associated TBI. The male to female ratio was 4.8:1. RTA was the most common cause. The most common TBIs were concussions, contusions, and closed brain injuries. Within the limits of this study, it was concluded that TBI-related MFFs should be suspected whenever maxillary or mandibular bone fractures occur, especially among adults, males, and people with injuries caused by RTAs and assaults. There is a need to increase the awareness of maxillofacial surgeons on the possible associations of combined maxillofacial trauma and brain injuries.

Abstract	The study evaluated the phytochemical composition of Ephedra alata and its effects on α-amylase and lipase enzymes and diabetic-induced liver-kidney-testes toxicities to determine the anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, and anti-toxic potentials of the plant. Obesity was induced by a high-fat and fructose diet (HFFD). Various compounds were identified and quantified: cafeic acid, apigenin 7-O-glucoside, apigenin, rutin, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, p-Coumaric acid and others in EA aqueous extract (EAWE). In vitro, this study showed that EAWE strongly inhibited lipase activity as compared to EA methanol (EAME) and ethyl acetate EA extracts (EAEE). In obese rats, the supplementation of EAWE inhibited significantly (P < 0.01) intestinal and pancreatic lipase activity by 35 and 36% respectively. This decrease in lipid digestive enzyme activity caused a significant (P < 0.05) reduce in the weight gain by 12.7% and significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the serum lipid rate as total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Moreover, the supplementation of EAWE to obese rats reduced the activity of α-amylase in the small intestine and pancreas by 26 and 31% respectively (P < 0.01) and consequently decreases in serum glucose level by 20.8% (P < 0.05). In addition, administration of EAWE in type 2 diabetes protected from obesity induced liver, kidney and testes alterations. The potent protective effect EAWE may be influenced by the diversity of phenolic compounds. therefore, this study showed in the first time that EAWE are efficient for the prevention and the amelioration of obesity, hyperglycemia, and various organs toxicities.

Abstract	Introduction: Once the COVID-19 pandemic was declared, the world was waiting for the clue that would be able to cut down the progression of the disease. Vaccines play a crucial role in reducing the disease and saving many people worldwide. However, there are several side effects of these vaccines, like pain, fatigue, fever, and neurological defects like Bell's palsy. In this systematic review, we presented evidence about the occurrence of Bell's palsy followed by COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCO, and Web of Science (WOS) from inception till October 2022. The quality assessment was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute, National Institute of Health, and Newcastle-Ottawa. The analysis was conducted on SPSS. Results: Thirty-five records were involved in our study. The results of our cases revealed that most of the patients (62.8%) experienced unilateral facial paralysis. Also, the majority of the cases were reported after the first dose, and most cases were after Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Sputnik V vaccines, respectively. The patients who were treated with corticosteroids, IVIG, and anti-viral drugs, showed marked recovery afterward. Conclusion: The rate ratio of Bell's palsy after COVID-19 vaccination was 25.3 per 1,000,000. The ratio was higher after the first dose compared to the second dose and was higher among those who took Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine compared to other vaccines. However, this condition was reported in a small number of cases among a large number of vaccinated people worldwide. It is important to note that the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh any potential risks.

Abstract	Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine the clinicodemographic characteristics and the prognostic role of myasthenia gravis (MG) in thymoma. Methods: The records of patients who underwent surgical resection of thymoma at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in the past 23 years were reviewed. Seventy thymoma patients were finally included and were then categorized based on MG status into the MG group (39 patients) and the non-MG group (31 patients). Collected data included patients' demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, and postoperative clinical outcomes. All analyses were conducted using SPSS. The comparison between both groups was tested using the Student Results: Patients' age ranged from 11 to 76 years, and female predominance was observed (55.7%). Compared to the non-MG group, no difference in patients' gender was observed ( Conclusions: MG occurrence in thymoma patients is more likely to occur at a younger age, higher TNM classification, and advanced MASAOKA stage. Although no significant association was noted between MG and complications and mortality, MG exhibited a protective role in thymoma by providing a lower recurrence rate and longer survival duration.

Abstract	Background: This study aims to compare the effect of two different ventilation strategies on cerebral oxygenation in children undergoing posterior fossa tumor excision surgeries. Methods: Children scheduled for posterior fossa tumor surgeries were enrolled in this randomized, double-blinded, controlled cross-over trial. After induction of general anesthesia and positioning, participants were randomized to have mild hyperventilation for 30 min (phase 1) followed by normal ventilation for another 30 min (phase2) (early hyperventilation group, n = 23), or normal ventilation for 30 min (phase 1) followed by hyperventilation for 30 min (phase 2) (early normoventilation group, n = 19). Our primary outcome was cerebral oxygenation, measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Other outcomes included the intracranial pressure (ICP), brain relaxation score at the end of phase 1, and frequency of nadir NIRS. Results: Forty-two children were available for final per protocol analysis. The cerebral oxygenation decreased after the hyperventilation phase compared to the baseline values and the corresponding phases of normoventilation. The mean difference [95% confidence intervals (CI)] in cerebral oxygen saturation between the hyperventilation and normal ventilation readings was 13.45 ± 1.14% [11.14-15.76] and 11.47 ± 0.96% [11.14-15.76] in the left and right sides, respectively (p-values <0.0001). Both carryover and period effects were not significant. The ICP at the end of phase 1 did not differ between the two groups: 22.12 ± 3.75 mmHg vs. 23.26 ± 4.33, mean difference [95%CI]: -0.78 [-3.05 to 1.5], p = 0.49. Brain relaxation score was similar in the two groups. Conclusion: In children undergoing posterior fossa craniotomy, moderate hyperventilation reduced cerebral oxygenation without significant improvement of the surgical brain relaxation or the ICP.
