Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Any imaging method that is now available can be used to diagnose malignancies that originate in the bones. Plain radiography is the imaging modality that is utilized the vast majority of the time in order to arrive at a diagnosis and identify the characteristics of a variety of osseous lesions. The diagnosis of bone cancer can be challenging, but CT scans can provide useful information about the anatomical breadth of the disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the test that is considered to be the gold standard when it comes to diagnosing cancer and anomalies in the skeleton that …

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Fetal anomalies are detected in approximately 2% of all fetuses and, among these, genitourinary tract abnormalities account for 30% to 50% of all structural anomalies present at birth. Aim : to assess the role of 3D ultrasound in detection of fetal causes of oligohydramnios. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted on 60 pregnant females aged between (19 years and 39 years) mean ± SD 26.6 ± 4.9 presented with olighydraminos, at Al-Azhar University Hospital Assuit branch at Obstetric and gynecological and Radoidaignostic departments in the period from 1st December 2021 to 31th October 2022 .

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Ankle pain refers to any kind of discomfort in either or both ankles. A common cause of ankle pain is an ankle sprain. Apart from sprains and other traumas, gout and arthritis can also result in ankle pain. Ankle discomfort can arise from various types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and septic arthritis. Aim of the work: To analyze the updated roles of magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography in evaluating different causes of persistent ankle discomfort. Patients and methods: The fifty randomly selected patients with no age or sex specification were subjected …

Correlation Between Left Ventricular Structural And Functional Changes And Coronary Artery Disease In Hypertensive Patients (Speckle Tracking Echocardiographic Study), Asmaa M. Nour, Mohamed S. Abd Elsalam, Mohamed B. Khedrawy, Ahmed El Tayeb

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Spot echocardiography is a sensitive, noninvasive method to detect early regional and global myocardial dysfunction that cannot be detected with traditional 2D echocardiography visualization.

Aim: To evaluate the association between structural and functional changes in the left ventricle and the burden of coronary artery disease in hypertensive patients using speckle-traced echocardiography.

Patients and Methods: 60 patients underwent elective coronary angiography, all hypertensive and consented to spot-trace echocardiography. They were recruited from the catheterization unit of the Department of Cardiology at Al-Azhar University Hospital.

Results: There is a statistically …

Comparative Study Between Cardiac Mri And Echocardiography In Post-Operative Evaluation Of Fallot Tetralogy, Tarek Mohamed Abdel Hamid El-Zayyat, Hytham Mohamed Mahmoud Nafady, Ahmed Abd Elazeem Mohamed Youseif

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) represents the prevailing form of cyanotic congenital cardiac disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) plays a crucial role in monitoring adult patients with congenital heart disease. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is capable of providing the majority of the requisite data for sequential monitoring in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Aim of the work: To investigate the respective contributions of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography in the evaluation of post-operative Fallot tetralogy, using a comparative analysis. Methodology: This study will be carried out on 30 cases of patients referred to the Heart Institute diagnosed by …
