Adapting new technologies in digital transformation within ADNOC is in-line with its 2030 strategy for a smart growth, resulting in maximizing the value of every barrel. 3D printing enables ADNOC to be self-sufficient in sourcing spares locally (especially Business-Continuity). Hence, boosting UAE's economic performance through national investment and leadership.
Resilient supply chain management is the main contributor towards the success of future organizations. This enables these empower these organizations in terms of performance, profitability, efficiency, and sustainability that will directly ensures business continuity. While effective supply chain is directly dependent on logistics, inventory control, and materials handling, it is also strongly interlinked with the utilization of new technologies that will enhance the complete supply chain cycle.
This paper demonstrates a hands-on achievements in terms of introducing three-dimensional (3D) printing to ADNOC Group Companies, taking into consideration the challenges that this technology is facing to penetrate the conservative oil and gas industry and realizing its potential benefits to the business. Additionally, the importance and the achievements towards constructing Digital Library in ADNOC specifically and oil and gas companies generally was discussed along with feasibility study which was carried out to evaluate the process from the environmental and techno-commercial perspectives. The technical results exhibited advantage in matching plant's requirement in terms of performance and quality that matches or even exceeds the OEM spares. Whereas commercial advantages with around 50% savings in direct purchases and lead-times, and finally 90% reduction in carbon footprint. Furthermore, a forecasted consumption and saving within all ADNOC Group Companies was extrapolated which shows AED2.1billion worth of products will be made in UAE by 2030 once this technology adopted down the line.
A 52-year-old female presented to our hospital with an acute history of isolated bilateral arm weakness. An MRI of the cervical spine confirmed an acute anterior spinal artery infarction. Further investigations to determine a specific etiology were unremarkable, leading to a diagnosis of idiopathic anterior spinal artery infarction consistent with Man-in-the-Barrel syndrome.
We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who started treatment with alpelisib nine days before developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). At the time of DKA diagnosis, blood tests showed a capillary blood glucose of 30 mmol/L, serum carbon dioxide level of 11 mmol/L, an anion gap of 25 mEq/L, and a glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) level of 6.4% (50 mmol/mol). Her HbA1C on admission was 5.6% (38 mmol/mol). Capillary blood glucose levels improved upon discontinuation of alpelisib and returned to baseline four days after drug discontinuation. DKA is a rare but serious adverse effect of alpelisib. Patients on this medication should be closely monitored for hyperglycemia and DKA. Further studies are needed to help identify patients at risk of hyperglycemia and DKA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
