Synedra, A Free Digital Imaging Viewer, Is Relevant In Assessment Of Frontal Sinus Drainage Pathway, Ahmed Ragab, Ayman A. Abdel Fatah, Hosam A. Hussin, Mohammed S. Abdullah, Mohammed Abdulrahman, Shaimaa A. Hassanein
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim was to evaluate the most relevant free radiological digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) software in analysis of air cells related to the frontal sinus drainage pathway (FSDP). Background DICOM is the leading standard for computed tomography (CT) scan image data management in different paranasal sinuses and rhinology practice. Patients and methods In the present prospective randomized case-series study of 51 patients scheduled for CT scan for nose and paranasal sinuses, six DICOM image viewers (Onis, Synerdra, 3D-Slicer, InVesalius, RadiAnt, and Philips) were compared by two expert head and neck radiologists for analysis of CT FSDP …
Study Of Interferon-Γ-Inducible Protein-10 Levels During Antiviral Therapy Of Hepatitis C Patients With Sofosbuvir Plus Ribavirin And Interferon In Menoufia Hospitals, Ahmed A. Salama, Elsayed I. Elshayb, Ghada R. El-Hendawy, Nancy R. Ahmed Elhosseny
Study Of Interferon-Γ-Inducible Protein-10 Levels During Antiviral Therapy Of Hepatitis C Patients With Sofosbuvir Plus Ribavirin And Interferon In Menoufia Hospitals, Ahmed A. Salama, Elsayed I. Elshayb, Ghada R. El-Hendawy, Nancy R. Ahmed Elhosseny
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim of this work was to study the effect of treatment with sofosbuvir, ribavirin, and interferon on the level of interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and to determine its role in hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients with liver cirrhosis. Background IP-10 is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine secreted by several cell types in response to interferons (interferon-γ). IP-10 has been attributed to several roles, such as chemoattraction for monocytes, macrophages, T cells, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells, promotion of T cell adhesion to endothelial cells, antitumor activity, and inhibition of bone marrow colony formation and angiogenesis. …

Computed Tomography Versus Magnetic Resonance Imaging In The Diagnosis Of Pharyngeal Lesions, Abd El Latif I. El Rashedy, Anas M. El Dahshan, Ayman A. Abd El Fattah, Essam A. Behiary
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of computed tomography (CT) and MRI in evaluating pharyngeal lesions by comparing the two imaging modalities. Background The pharynx is a region of considerable anatomical and functional complexity, making the accurate diagnosis of pharyngeal lesion a challenging task. CT or MRI is performed for pretherapeutic assessment of pharyngeal lesions. Both can supply the information needed by the clinician for adequate treatment planning. Patients and methods Forty patients with pharyngeal lesions were evaluated using CT and/or MRI according to the decision of the treating physician. The results of imaging were …
Hyoid Suspension Versus Laser Midline Glossectomy In The Management Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Ahmed F. Abd Elhameed, Ibrahim A. Abd Elshafy, Omar A. Elbanhawy, Rana H. Elhelbawy, Yasir A. Khaleel
Hyoid Suspension Versus Laser Midline Glossectomy In The Management Of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Ahmed F. Abd Elhameed, Ibrahim A. Abd Elshafy, Omar A. Elbanhawy, Rana H. Elhelbawy, Yasir A. Khaleel
Menoufia Medical Journal
Background The base of the tongue and the hypopharynx are the major sites of obstruction in up to 50% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) possibly explaining the cause of failure in palatal surgery. Hyoid suspension and laser midline glossectomy can be used as a surgical treatment for tongue base and hypopharyngeal collapse. Objective The aim of this study was to compare hyoid suspension type I and laser midline glossectomy in the management of OSA as regards safety, efficiency, and postoperative morbidity and mortality. Patients and methods In this study, 30 patients were diagnosed as having OSA by means …
