Abstract: This invention describes a cross-sectional study that examines the trends of long-term complications, particularly the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), in the Saudi population following SARS-COV-2 infection and vaccination. The study collected blood samples from 203 healthy blood donors and analyzed various parameters, including HbA1c, liver function tests, kidney function tests, and lipid profiles. The results showed a significant increase in HbA1c, urea, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and triglycerides among diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic individuals. Notably, individuals with blood group O had the highest incidence of T2D. These findings suggest that SARS-COV-2 infection and vaccination are associated with the worsening of T2D symptoms and highlight the need for large-scale studies to understand the long-term metabolic complications of the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to develop effective prevention and management strategies.

Abstract: A system and method are described for creating, managing and sharing photo stories. For example, one embodiment of a computer implemented method for selecting among a plurality of different photo story templates comprises: receiving a plurality of new photos from a user the photos having metadata associated; analyzing the photos and the metadata associated with the photos; responsively grouping the photos into a plurality of different photo stories based on the analysis of the photos and the metadata associated with the photos; and selecting a set of photo story design templates for each of the different photo stories based on the analysis of the photos and the metadata associated with the photos grouped into the different photo stories.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a user interface are described for personalizing and sending stationery/cards. A reminder list on the user interface includes a list of reminder entries each identifying an upcoming event including events generated based on a specified relationship between the user and one or more contacts of the user. A recommendation region is populated one or more recommended stationery/card designs associated with one of the entries in the reminder list. A stationery/card personalization engine provides the user with a set of personalization options related to the selected stationery/card design, and generates personalized stationery based on the selected stationery/card design and the user input.

Abstract: A graphical user interface, system and method are described for managing a contacts database within an online stationery service. A presentation logic receives contacts to whom personalized stationery will be mailed and generates a graphical user interface comprising: a first region for displaying the contacts received from the stationery service contacts manager, the contacts within the contacts selectable via a user input device, a second region comprising a series of data field for entering a new contact via a user input device, and a third region displaying the contacts to whom the online stationery service will mail stationery directly on behalf of the user, the contacts within the third region selected from the first region or entered in the second region. A print module generates a print job to print the personalized stationery and envelopes containing the address information for the user-selected contacts.
