Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background: Numerous studies have documented an important association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and urolithiasis. NAFLD is described as 5% fat or more of the liver contents in other liver diseases absence including those related to alcohol consumption, chronic viral hepatitis, other chronic liver diseases as autoimmune hepatitis, and drug-induced hepatic diseases (1). Liver tru-cut biopsy is considered the gold standard yet invasive NAFLD diagnostic technique and carries potential complications (2). On the other hand, Computed Tomography (CT) is considered a non-invasive convenient tool that allows for measurable assessment of NAFLD allowing for quantitative diagnosis.

How Does Plasma L-Fabp Level Correlate With Cardiovascular Disease Risk In Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease, And Can It Serve As A Reliable Biomarker For Risk Stratification?”, Nehad Refat Ibrahim, Ghadir Elsawy

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 10% of the global adult population, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being a major concern. CKD patients face increased CVD-related morbidity and mortality. While the exact mechanisms linking CKD and CVD are complex, traditional risk factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) and nontraditional factors (e.g., inflammation, oxidative stress) play a role. Liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is associated with lipid metabolism and kidney injury. Few studies suggest L-FABP as a potential biomarker for CVD risk in CKD patients, but further research is needed to fully understand its role. This study aims to explore the link between …

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.

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 …

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. …
