A Rare Case Of Fahr’S Disease, Kesar Prajapati, Vishakha Vinod, Sumit Bochiwal
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 …
Saphenous Vein Harvesting With Endoscopy Versus No-Touch Technique: Short-Term Results, Tamer El Bannaa, Mohamed M. Mohamed, Ahmed Zayed, Yasser A. Sadek
Saphenous Vein Harvesting With Endoscopy Versus No-Touch Technique: Short-Term Results, Tamer El Bannaa, Mohamed M. Mohamed, Ahmed Zayed, Yasser A. Sadek
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Objective ‘No-touch’ (NT) saphenous vein harvesting maintains vasa vasorum, resulting in less medial ischemic affection, which leads to improved short-term and long-term patency. However, it may also be associated with a higher rate of wound complications. Endovascular vein harvesting (EVH) has a low rate of wound complications but also a tendency toward a lower patency rate. The aim was to compare wound complications and short-term symptomatic relief, which could be an indication of functioning grafts. Patients and methods During a 2-year period (2018–2019), in a nonrandomized prospective study, we monitored patients after coronary artery bypass graft for recurrence of ischemic …

Voice Quality Assessment In Cases Of Vocal Fold Gaps After Single Growth Factor Injection, Amr Roushdyel Badrawy, Asmaa Abdel Hamid, Israa Eltaweel, Azza Abdel Aziz Azzam
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
In severe vocal fold (VF) lesions, deposits of disorganized, thick collagen bundles and little hyaluronic acid (HA) are deposited in the superficial layer of lamina propria (SLP). These changes lead to severe dysphonia and aspiration, which could be complicated by fatal pneumonia. Unfortunately, no specific treatment has been recognized due to unpredictable VF regeneration. Current progress in regenerative medicine has allowed the development of tissue engineering techniques using cells, scaffolds, and growth factors (GFs). Extrinsic GFs application could help in the induction of the regenerative process. The work aims to assess the voice quality after a single GF injection of …

Short-Term Results Of Off-Pump And On-Pump Aortic Arch Debranching During Type I Hybrid Arch Repair: A Single-Center Experience, Ahmed S. Emara, Hussein A. Zaher, Mahmoud F. El-Safty, Mohamed A. El-Badawy, Mohamed A. El-Hady, Mostafa M. Abdalraouf
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background Compared with off-pump surgeries, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a high systemic inflammatory response and with substantial myocardial injury, especially in high-risk subgroups. Every effort should be exerted to minimize the role of CPB without affecting the safety and outcome. Classically, aortic arch surgeries were done using CPB and deep circulatory arrest together with cerebral brain protection strategies. With the development of endovascular techniques, the role of CPB decreased. Management of aortic arch pathologies carries special needs, specifically rerouting of the great vessels and preparing a landing zone. Objectives To assess the effectiveness and safety of off-pump aortic …

Fontan Procedure With Extracardiac Conduit In Pediatrics And Children: Short-Term Results, Amal Younan, Hanan Hassan, Waleed El-Awady
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Introduction The concept of Fontan circulation was first clinically introduced in 1971. Technical modifications have been advocated with the concept of total cavopulmonary connection, introduced in the late 80s. Recently, an extracardiac conduit to divert inferior vena cava flow to the pulmonary arteries has been advocated, and it affords excellent palliation for patients with various forms of the anatomic or functional single ventricle. Patients and methods From September 2019 to August 2021, 12 patients (five males and seven females) with a mean age of 10.7 (6–15) years underwent a Fontan procedure with extracardiac conduit at the National Heart Institute. The …

C-Reactive Protein In View Of Prognosis In Sepsis, Ashraf A.H Mahmoud Soliman, Raghad S. Abdellatif, Wael A. E. El Hakeem
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Introduction Sepsis is the host reaction to invading microbes. The septic response generally occurs when immune defenses fail to contain an invading microbe and may also be induced by microbial exotoxins. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein in humans and an important component of the innate immune system. CRP activates complement's classical route, which is one of its key strategies for defending the host. Patients and methods This study was conducted on 20 patients with systemic sepsis and admitted to the critical care unit; moreover, 20 healthy participants were studied as a control group. Results Both groups were matched …

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Objective To assess the role of sildenafil in perioperative management of patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing lower limb vascular surgery. Patients and methods Twenty-four patients with pulmonary hypertension presented for lower limb vascular surgery were divided into equal groups, group 1 and group 2, each group having 12 patients. Result As regards demographic data, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate there were no statistically significant differences between both groups. As regards PaO2 measured in arterial blood gases, pulmonary artery pressure, and ejection fraction, there was statistically significant differences between both groups. Conclusion We found that sildenafil has a unique …

Immunohistochemical Expression Of Estrogen Receptors, Progesterone Receptors, And Human Epidermal Growth-Factor Receptor 2/Neu In Epithelial Ovarian Tumors, Hanan S. Abdel Hamid, Sherien A. Mohamed, Suzan M. Talaat, Zaineb Y. Mohieldin
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background and objectives Epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) is a clinically, morphologically, and molecularly heterogeneous disease. Estrogen receptor (ER) β is highly represented in normal ovarian epithelial cells and benign tumors, but ERα is the main form expressed in OC. ERα-positive OC had a favorable outcome. Progesterone receptor (PR) expression in ovarian tumors is a good prognostic marker associated with longer progression-free survival. Human epidermal growth-factor receptor (HER) 2 expression is associated with a worse prognosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of ER, PR, and HER2/neu in ovarian epithelial tumors and to correlate their expression …

Study Of The Hemodynamic Effect Of Inhaled Milrinone Versus Inhaled Nitroglycerin On Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension After Mitral Valve Replacement Surgeries, Ahmed K. Abdel Ghany Hassan, Ahmed S. F. Saeed, Paula M. El-Komos Samaan, Sherif S. A. Sultan, Wafaa El-Sayed Ismail Mostafa
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Introduction Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PH) is commonly found in patients with mitral valve diseases. Most of the drugs used for PH treatment are nonselective pulmonary vasodilators that may cause a modest decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure, but they may cause a marked decrease in systemic vascular resistance as well, which leads to hypotension and a decrease in perfusion of vital organs. Inhaled drugs such as milrinone and nitroglycerine may be safer as a large dose of the drug can selectively target the pulmonary circulation, which leads to a reduction of their systemic adverse effects. Aim This double-blind, randomized study compared …

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background Nesfatin-1 is considered an anorexigenic peptide that plays an important role in appetite regulation, weight loss, and malnutrition. Although the cause of anorexia in CKD patients is not totally understood, both anorexia and malnutrition are common presentations of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who are susceptible to worse outcomes. Our aim of the work To study the relation of serum nesfatin-1 and its relation to the nutritional status of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), who are maintained on regular hemodialysis. Patients and methods A total of 60 ESRD patients are maintained on regular hemodialysis, and apparently healthy thirty persons (control …
