Abstract Background Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue may play a substantial role the pathogenesis of obesity‐related metabolic disorders. The present study aims to evaluate changes adipocytokines, bile acids, fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF‐19) and pro‐inflammatory cytokines 6 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods This prospective included 75 obese patients with body mass index >35 kg/m 2 who underwent LSG. All were recruited preoperatively followed up...
Purpose Epicardial fat thickness is an interesting parameter of early atherosclerosis. We prospectively assessed whether weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) leads to a significant reduction in the epicardial (EFT) and correlation between decline with other clinical parameters.Methods A prospective analysis 98 cases that were scheduled undergo LSG followed up for 12 months was conducted. EFT using two-dimensional (2 D) echocardiography.Results total 70 controls...
Adipose tissues synthesize and secrete various proinflammatory anti-inflammatory mediators, termed cytokines. This work aims to assess different serum urinary cytokine levels before 12 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).This prospective study was performed on 61 obese non-diabetic patients who underwent LSG. All were followed up postoperatively at with the assessment of arterial blood pressure, microalbuminuria, inflammatory cytokines (macrophage migration inhibitory factor...
Background: Failure or delayed maturation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who require hemodialysis (HD) can lead to catheter-related complications as bacteremia and sepsis the resultant high morbidity mortality.Small-diameter veins are often a limiting factor for successful creation fistulas (AVFs).Balloon-assisted (BAM) is recent, innovative, yet controversial method developing autogenous arterio-venous fistulae (AVF).Purpose: Is evaluate use...
To evaluate the impact of intraoperatively measured portal vein pressure (PVP) on mortality in non-cirrhotic bilharzial patients undergoing splenectomy.The present study is a prospective that was conducted Egypt from April 2014 to 2018. Adult with bilharziasis who were scheduled undergo splenectomy included. Studied cases divided into survival cohort and non-survival cohort. The main objective correlation between incidence intraoperative PVP.The work comprised 130 mean age 51.8 ± 6.4 years...
The study aimed to assess antithyroid antibodies in patients with benign thyroid masses and the effect of total thyroidectomy on titers.This is a retrospective work 112 cases managed positive peroxidase (TPO-Ab), anti-thyroglobulin (Tg-Ab), or both. All were euthyroid before surgery. Thyroid function tests levels measured 6 12 months after surgery.Histopathological evaluation revealed Hashimoto thyroiditis (47.3%), colloid nodules (22.3%), lymphocytic (30.4%). TPO-Ab positive, while 96...
Purpose:To compare primary patency rates and target lesion revascularization of paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) versus plain angioplasty (PBA) to preserve the vascular access circuit in patients undergoing hemodialysis after one year follow-up. Patients methods: Within 24-month period, during 2015 2016, 96 (54 men=56%; mean age 60.3±13.8)with hemodialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease were enrolled study.In total, 48 randomly assigned group PCB (29 AVGs & 19 AVFs) PBA AVFs).Baseline...
Introduction and Aim: Obesity is characterized by low-grade inflammation, which depicted an increase of proinflammatory cytokines a decrease anti-inflammatory cytokines. This study was designed to assess the changes systemic adipokines hepatic gene expression after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Patients Methods: The current prospective work included 81 obese cases for whom LSG done. Paired liver biopsies, weight changes, biomarkers glucose homeostasis, enzymes in addition serum mRNA...
Introduction: COVID-19 disease is currently pandemic, and its prevalence in Saudi Arabia concerning. The SARS-CoV-2 virus primarily affects the lungs, but it also haematopoietic system. atypical lymphocytes on peripheral blood film that have a distinct morphological appearance were of particular interest this study. Our goal was to see link between patient mortality. Methods: This four-month single-centered prospective descriptive study conducted Makkah, Arabia. patients both genders...
