Background: The complex developmental disease known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is marked by impaired social interaction, communication, in addition to decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Physical therapy can be one of the complementary therapies for autistic children. Purpose of the Study: To inspect the efficacy of group exercise program on social skills and BMD in children with ASD. Patients and Methods: Thirty children diagnosed with mild ASD were included. They were randomized into ...

Background: A recently discovered measurement called transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) is used to estimate a fetus's gestational age (GA). When determining GA, the measurement of TCD is incredibly accurate, especially when the last menstrual period (LMP) date is uncertain. Objective: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of fetal TCD as independent parameter in diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Patients and methods: This prospective observatory study was conduc...

Background: Organ transplantation is a critical, life-saving technique for individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. Human organs are obtained from brain dead donors following the pronouncement of cardiac death, or from living donors. Among the numerous kinds of organ transplants, living donor liver transplantation stands out. Objective: To evaluate living donors’ cognitive distortion regarding perioperative anesthetic concerns and anesthesiologists. Patients and Methods: A cross-secti...

Background: Postburn scars are defined as abnormal wound healing after burn, which results in disfigurement and psychological stress. The factors determining the figure and the severity of the upcoming scar after burn are still unclear. But there are many studies suggesting that inflammation is the initiating step of developing postburn scars. Interleukin17 is an inflammatory factor that has the ability to promote the T cells activation leading to chronic inflammation. Also, interleukin-17 was p...

Background: Laser therapy is a developing treatment for painful bladder syndrome (PBS), also known as interstitial cystitis (IC). Two main types of lasers are used for IC/PBS: Erbium: YAG (Er: YAG) lasers and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). More research is needed to determine the long-term effectiveness and safety of laser therapy for IC/PBS. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of low intensity laser therapy (LILT) on painful bladder syndrome. Subjects and methods: This study in...

Background: The fundamental pathophysiological basis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the creation of an intracoronary thrombosis as a result of atherosclerotic plaque rupture and disruption of coronary blood flow (CBF). The amount of intracoronary thrombus load is related to a poor outcome among individuals with ACS. Objective: To assessthe ability of CHA2DS2-VASc score to predict high pre procedural intracoronary thrombus burden among individuals with non-ST segment elevation myocardial inf...

Background: The advantages of lower limb orthopedic procedures under spinal anesthetic are quick onset, preservation of spontaneous breathing, relaxation of the required muscles for the procedure, and affordability. It also has the benefit of not carrying the hazards associated with pulmonary aspiration and intubation. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of intrathecal versus intravenous dexmedetomidine added to bupivacaine on characteristics of spinal blocks in patients undergoin...

Background: In both industrialized and developing nations, diabetic nephropathy is a major contributor to renal failure and the primary cause of death for those with diabetes. Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) mainly regulates metabolism to improve cellular glucose absorption, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining βcell activities. Moreover, in individuals with type 2 diabetes, FGF21 levels rise in direct proportion to the advancement of the alb...

Background: 320,000 new instances of endometrial cancer (EC) are thought to occur annually worldwide, making it the fifth most frequent malignancy in women. Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and clinical impact of sentinel lymph node (LN) mapping in the management of EC. Patients and Method: This prospective study was conducted on 23 patients who attended the Gynecology and Obstetrics clinic in Menoufia University Hospital and were diagnosed to have endometrial carcinoma by histopatho...

Background: There are various diagnostic tests available to determine tubal patency. Laparoscopy with chromopertubation, with or without contemporaneous hysteroscopy, is now the" gold standard" for tubal assessment. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of hysteroscopic tubal patency assessment using the tubal ostium movement (blinking test). Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Aswan Specialized Hospital, Aswan, Egypt. The study involved 100 infe...
