Evaluation Of Common Complications Following Tetralogy Of Fallot Surgical Repair By Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Zainab Ahmad Ramadan, Mohamed Salah Ayyad
Evaluation Of Common Complications Following Tetralogy Of Fallot Surgical Repair By Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Zainab Ahmad Ramadan, Mohamed Salah Ayyad
Mansoura Medical Journal
Background: The operative procedures for correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) concentrates on the impact of pulmonary valve regurgitation (PR) on the function of right ventricle (RV) pointing to alleviating right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) narrowing, and minimizing the PR degree at the same time, closing ventricular septal defect (VSD). Various complications could be encountered after TOF repair as; PR, dilated RV with/without impaired function, RVOT residual obstruction/ dilatation, residual VSD, tricuspid regurge (TR), aortic root dilatation with/without regurge and significant difference in differential pulmonary flow. Objective: Address the most common complications that could be encountered following TOF surgical repair, …

Background: Bilirubin is endogenous antioxidant and increased its physiological concentrations reduce severity of coronary artery disease with better prognosis after PCI. Objective: Assess serum bilirubin level in patients with stable chronic coronary artery disease and correlate it with the severity of this disease and outcome after PCI. Methods: Cross sectional prospective observational study included 203 Patient with stable chronic coronary artery disease divided into 2 groups according to bilirubin: group I ≤ 0.6mg/dl group II > 0.6 (up to 1.2) mg/dl 100 cases underwent elective coronary angiography and PCI with full clinical examination, laboratory tests: total serum bilirubin, creatinine, lipid profile, …

Background: There is a significant impact on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations. Individuals with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had considerably higher mean serum procalcitonin levels (PCT) compared to individuals with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to previous investigations. Objective: This study aimed to assess whether procalcitonin levels were associated with the severity of exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: thirty-nine patients who were suffering from an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were included. Included patients were classified as having either no respiratory failure, …

Background: A depigmenting skin condition called vitiligo affects 0.5–2 percent of people globally. It seems to be caused by an interaction between neurological, immunological, and genetic factors. Vitiligo is mediated by cell-mediated reactions, as Th1/Th17 and Tc1 cells. It is thought that the Th17 cell's most specialized cytokine isIL-22. Aim: To explore the blood levels of IL-22 in non-segmental vitiligo and to investigate whether it can be a biomarker in monitoring disease activity and it’s correlation with disease severity. Patient and methods: This study included thirty healthy individuals and sixty non-segmental vitiligo cases (30 with stable vitiligo and 30 with …
