Oral Collagen Supplementation In 2nd Degree Burn And Chronic Pressure Ulcers, Wesam Ibrahem Homouda, Helmy Ahmed Soliman, Esayed Hussien Elmokadem

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background: Healing of wounds requires adequate intake of protein, iron, Vitamin-C and zinc. In case of deficiency in the dietary intake, supplements may be prescribed. Collagen-peptide supplements can enhance skin hydration, elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. Burns, caused by various agents, severely damage skin layers. Pressure ulcers occur when prolonged pressure on the skin leads to tissue ischaemia, disrupting nutrition and oxygen supply, resulting in tissue necrosis. Systematic reviews show that oral collagen, either intact or hydrolyzed, effectively improves skin health.

Objectives: This article aim to evaluate the effect of oral collagen intake as a healing promoting supplementation in management of …

Study Of Transient Elastography Changes And Biochemical Effects Of Direct Acting Antiviral Regimens In Egyptian Hcv Patients, Omar Mahmoud Azzam, Nageh Kamal Georgy, Hesham Mohamed Elwakeel

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background: In 2014–2015, a new era in the clinical practice of managing chronic HCV using direct antiviral drugs (DAAs) began. The results of DAAS therapy are promising, with higher sustained virological response (SVR) rates, shorter, more efficient regimens, and less treatment-related side effects in HCV patients. For many years, the field of liver specialists has focused most of its study and debate on the retrogradation of liver fibrosis. Recent evidence, however, has shown that fibrosis decline occurs in a variety of chronic liver disorders, including persistent viral hepatitis.

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.

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. …
