Abstract: Hypertension (HTN) is a worldwide health problem and major preventable risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events. Achieving an optimal blood pressure (BP) target patients with HTN will often require more than one BP-lowering drug. Combination therapy not only needed, but also confers many advantages such as better efficacy tolerability. A compliance simplicity of treatment noted the single-pill combination (SPC). In addition, those who do achieve BP when receiving dual...
Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. The mainstay treatment has been glycemic control and blood pressure lowering using agents blocking the renin-angiotensin system. Clinical trials are currently under way novel for patients with diabetic nephropathy. Promising emerging from some completed include pirfenidone bardoxolone methyl, which have shown in two recent randomized controlled to result an improved estimated glomerular filtration rate compared...
Abstract Rectovaginal fistula formation secondary to B artholin's cyst is a very rare complication, and date only three cases were reported in the literature. We report case of 32‐year‐old woman who suffered recurrent episodes infection with subsequent abscess that resulted rectovaginal formation. treated her initially transperineal repair; however, fistulous tract recurred month later. A laparoscopic colostomy repair using biological graft was then performed, excellent results. The patient...
Calcium channel blockers are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. They have several indications, including second-line therapy lowering blood pressure and tocolytic therapy. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman, G1P0, with twin gestation at 22 weeks, who presented acute respiratory distress. Her symptoms occurred shortly after starting nifedipine as Investigations revealed signs volume overload pulmonary edema. Extensive cardiac infectious workups were normal....
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disorder characterized by monoclonal differentiated plasma cells. While it more commonly diagnosed in elderly individuals, can also affect younger populations, though with lower incidence.
Abstract Hypertension is an important public health concern of high prevalence among adults. It associated with increased mortality rate. The hypertension in Lebanon has during the last decades, affecting around one-third Lebanese population. Since diagnosis and treatment a better prognosis, annual screening raising awareness about this ‘silent killer’ disease extreme value. We conducted cross-sectional survey various cities 2019. recruited adults (≥18 years old) from different sites,...
Objective: Most patients with arterial hypertension (HTN) require more than one blood pressure (BP)-lowering drug to achieve BP target. In a free combination, each BP-lowering is administered as separate pill, while in fixed drugs are combined single pill. The objective of this systematic review compare the beneficial and harmful effects using versus combination agents essential HTN. Design method: We conducted comprehensive search that included Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE. randomized...
Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder, affecting multiple organs, mostly the skin, lungs, and kidneys. The prevalence of BHD difficult to define given rarity disease. Patients present most often with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Renal tumors are characteristic finding in BHD, bilateral multifocal chromophobe oncocytoma variant. Very scarce reports have highlighted presence simple renal cysts, as only phenotypical manifestation, patients. Herein, we...
