Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background: Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a serious consequence of coronary artery disease. The optimal management of IMR is controversial. Although practice guidelines advise surgical intervention for patients presenting with a severe form of this condition, they also recognize the limited evidence supporting repair or replacement.
Aim of the study: to analyse and compare the early outcomes of mitral valve repair (MVr) versus mitral valve replacement (MVR) with concomitant CABG in patients with IMR.
Methods: A retrospective comparative study on 100 patients who underwent concomitant CABG for their coronary artery disease (CAD) and a mitral valve surgery for IMR, either …

Improvement Of Hair Transplantation In Postcicatracial Alopecia, Maurice Fekry, Ebrahim Awad
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background Because scarred tissue has less blood flow than normal tissue, fewer hair grafts are taken, and the patient may require many sessions to achieve the acquired density, resulting in a lengthy treatment duration of up to 5 years. The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improves these findings. Patients and methods A prospective randomized-controlled study was conducted on 15 patients with cicatricial alopecia and candidates for follicular unit extraction hair transplantation, with ages between 25 and 60 years. Results Functional and esthetic outcomes were achieved by adding PRP regimen to follicular unit extraction hair transplantation for cases presented to us …

Added Value Of Diffusion Weighted Image And Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Mapping In Differentiation Between Bone Marrow Neoplastic Infiltration And Non-Neoplastic Complication In Hematologic Malignancies, Mary Rabea Mahrous, Marwa Romeih, Eman Nasr Said
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
BACKGROUND: Hematological malignancies, including lymphomas, leukemia, and multiple myeloma, commonly infiltrate the bone marrow (BM). Commonly observed post-treatment complications that affect BM include osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, ischemic infarction, pathological fractures, and avascular necrosis. These complications frequently occur secondary to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and high doses of corticosteroids. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the gold-standard imaging modality for the assessment of BM due to its high contrast resolution without radiation exposure. In hematological malignancies, distinguishing benign from malignant bone marrow changes remains notoriously chellenging. Diffusion-weighted images (DWI) are highly sensitive sequences for assessing the mobility of free water molecules reflecting micro-vascular changes. …

Introduction: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) constitute a distinct subset of lymphocytes recognized for their ability to dampen immune responses. The significance of Tregs as prognostic indicators in individuals with lymphoma has sparked ongoing debates. Therefore, this study was undertaken to enumerate and correlate the clinicopathological findings of T-regulatory cells in Hodgkin lymphomas. Methodology: This hospital-based prospective observational study included a total of 50 participants. All the enrolled participants were divided into cases (all biopsy/immunophenotypically proven cases of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; n=30) and controls (healthy individuals; n=20). Clinico-demographic details were recorded and compared. Sample collected from the patients were tagged with specific …

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Type I Diabetes, among the ten greatest causes of mortality worldwide, is estimated to afflict 642 million individuals by 2040. It is an auto-immune illness brought on by an association of environmental and genetic variables. that cause T lymphocytes to destroy insulin-producing β-cells. Its prevalence continues to rise by 3-4% annually worldwide, enhancing the risk of mortality. So, the idea of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is widely established, and systemic treatment is essential. RAGEs are linked to inflammatory disorders that exist in a variety of TID-related cells; especially T cells. Variations in circulating RAGE concentrations have been linked to a …

For patients with ESRD, kidney transplant offers significant survival and quality-of-life advantages compared with dialysis. Non-sensitized renal transplant recipients when compared to patients with preformed alloantibodies, the latter are at greater risk of cellular, humeral rejection and premature graft failure. In this paper we will present a successful case of young adult who has ESRD and maintained on regular hemodialysis and undergo live related renal transplant with high dose HLA class I and class II antibodies and negative cross match by CDC and flow cytometry.

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
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 …

Background: Neonatal acute respiratory distress is a common cause for mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates. Non-invasive ventilation is crucial for preterm neonates, nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation and nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Recently, heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula modes have been revealed as more efficient non-invasive ventilation mode in improving functional residual capacity however, other studies have questioned its efficacy and safety in comparison to other non-invasive ventilation. Many studies have investigated the common predictive factors that are associated with intubation and failure of spontaneous breathing. Consequently, this study aimed at investigating the common factors associated with prolonged …
