Fahr’s syndrome, a rare syndrome, is characterized by symmetrical and bilateral intracranial calcifications. A 23-year-old male patient presented with generalized tonic–clonic convulsion and muscle cramps for 1 month. The patient’s blood counts, blood sugar levels, serum sodium, and serum potassium were normal. Computed tomography scan of the brain revealed bilateral symmetrical hyperdensities, suggestive of calcification in globus pallidus, putamen, thalami, caudate and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and subcortical white matter of both cerebral hemispheres. The findings were suggestive of Fahr’s disease. His serum ionized calcium levels were low with high phosphate levels (with increased parathormone levels), suggesting the association …

Objectives (a) To determine the correlation of platelet count and aggregation with sepsis severity and (b) to find the risk factors affecting the platelet aggregation in sepsis. Patients and methods The present observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 patients of sepsis over a period of 18 months. All patients underwent complete blood counts, and platelet aggregation to ADP. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess the association of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and aggregation to ADP and platelet. Linear regression was done to determine the risk factors affecting platelet aggregation in sepsis. A P value of less …

Context: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with severe respiratory morbidity and mortality , rapidly spread all over the world, caused by an sever acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) varying from mild symptoms to pulmonary fibrosis( Li Z et al.,2020). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can have a critical role, by promoting the pulmonary parenchyma regeneration and subsequently decreasing the symptoms of COVID-19 and help immune system to act against the virus (WHO, 2020).Aim: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using stem cell in the treatment of COVID-19patients.Setting and design: We performed this case control study during the period from November 2020 …
