Abstract Background Microvascular alteration in scleroderma patients is well documented. Microcirculatory changes can be visualized by nailfold capillary microscopy (NFC) examination which a safe and noninvasive technique. This study aims to identify possible association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) microvascular detected capillaroscopic patients. Results The was conducted on 25 with systemic sclerosis. On studying the correlation of NLR laboratory parameters, we found...

Rheumatoid arthritis lifelong disease, the disease itself side effects drug treatments may cause frailty. This study assessed prevalence risk factors for falls people with rheumatoid arthritis. Results A cross-sectional involving 105 patients (aged 60 older) was performed. Each participant received comprehensive medical history review. The Simplified...

This study was conducted to evaluate a production process at Al-Ez Gypsum Factory, owned by Bayot Company, and the extent which quality is achieved in products that lead increased competitiveness market share. done using variable maps data obtained from laboratory tests. The results were analyzed Minitab.19 statistical software regularity of its conformity specifications, compare during two periods, 2019-2024. current phase (2024) tests (heat loss, setting time, purity, time indicated disk)...

A 35-year-old female with no medical history presented fever. Laboratory work was normal except for elevated liver function test (LFT): alkaline phosphatase (AP) (296), aspartate transaminase (AST) (343), alanine (ALT) (378), and international normalized ratio (INR) (1.23). Ultrasound normal. Infectious workup negative hepatitis virus (HAV), B (HBV), C (HCV), E (HEV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr (EBV), Herpes simplex (HSV), COVID-19. Similarly, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson, alpha-1...

We aimed to assess the value of liver biopsy in evaluation abnormal tests.We analyzed consecutive specimens performed for unexplained tests from 2014 2018. Diagnoses were categorized histologically and clinically. determined whether histologic examination led a specific diagnosis prebiopsy laboratory variables predicted underlying etiology.Among 383 included, chronic hepatitis was most common (25%) clinical (17%) diagnosis. Liver 87% patients. The likely diagnoses autoimmune hepatitis,...

Hepatitis C (HCV) virus is recognized as the major cause of what was previously referred to parenterally acquired (blood-mediated) non-A, non-B hepatitis. A study involving 252 transfused and nontransfused Egyptian children conducted from November 1990 through February 1991 determine prevalence HCV role blood product transfusions in spread virus. Serum specimens were assayed by a second generation enzyme immunoassay considered reactive only after supplemental testing using recombinant...

We aimed to examine the correlation of pre-biopsy clinical diagnosis with hepatic histopathology.

This paper describes the development of an integrated approach for water pipe network calibration and lea quantification. The proposed provides a practical procedure that merges field measurements mathematical modeling leak quantification calibration. use Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) using both Genetic (GA) Shuffled Complex Evolution – University Arizona (SCE-UA) to calculate pinpointed outflows well as identify any faulty meters. Also, by treating physical leaks junction points, model, via...

Goal: The goal of this study was to evaluate an artificial intelligence approach, namely deep learning, on clinical text in electronic health records (EHRs) identify patients with cirrhosis. Background and Aims: Accurate identification cirrhosis EHR is important for epidemiological, services, outcomes research. Currently, such efforts depend International Classification Diseases (ICD) codes, limited success. Materials Methods: We trained several machine learning models using discharge...

The role of the tumor markers CA125 and CA72-4 has been evaluated in diagnosis management ovarian cancer. Both were measured 30 patients with proven epithelial cancer, benign pelvic masses normal women. using luminometric immunoassay immunoradiometric assay respectively. All cancer submitted to surgical staging cytoreduction followed by adjuvant platinum based chemotherapy for 3-6 courses. Fixing specificity at 95%, had a sensitivity 76.7% cut-off 85 u/ml while 70% 8.5 u/ml. combination...

SummaryThe clinical, biochemical and histological characteristics in six Arab children with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) (Byler's disease) are described. The autosomal recessive mode of inheritance is established. Jaundice pruritus were early symptoms, onset the 1st 3 months all patients. Other features included growth failure, developmental delay, ataxia, areflexia, gall-stones epistaxis. Gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase cholesterol normal, but total bile acid levels...
