Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was announced in early December 2019. The pandemic situation is declared. This study aimed to evaluate the role of biomarkers estimating severity and predicting prognosis COVID-19. Results A total 116 confirmed patients were included this study. evaluated clinically. assessed. measured calculated laboratory tests done. primary outcome 30-day mortality. Patients assigned severe (14.7%) non-severe (85.3%) groups. At IL-6 level 32.3 pg/mL...
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication promises to revolutionize road safety and efficiency. However, challenges in data sharing network reliability impede its full realization. This paper addresses these by proposing a novel Deep Learning (DL) approach for traffic prediction V2X environments. We employ Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks compare their performance against other prominent DL architectures, including unidirectional LSTM Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). Our...
Egypt was among the first 10 countries in Africa that experienced COVID-19 cases. The sudden surge number of cases is overwhelming capacity national healthcare system, particularly developing countries. Central to containment ongoing pandemic availability rapid and accurate diagnostic tests could pinpoint patients at early disease stages. In current study, we aimed (1) Evaluate performance antigen test (RAT) "Standard™ Q Ag" against reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR)...
Many cases of gastrointestinal (GI) tumors as lymphoma, adenocarcinoma, and most submucosal (SMT) such stromal tumor (GIST) leiomyoma are difficult to diagnose they frequently yield negative endoscopic biopsies. We evaluated the accuracy ultrasound (EUS) EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosis biopsy GI tumors.One hundred nine patients with were included this prospective study. EUS EUS-FNA performed all cytopathologic examination.There 109 lesions, including 61 males (56%)...
The Beyond fifth Generation (B5G) communication systems imposed several challenges on radio designers. For example, a machine is required to set up call at low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), as -10 dB, in the extended coverage mode. Moreover, only one receive antenna will be available, and virtually no frequency diversity. Such requirements present major maintaining timing synchronization. Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) estimation heart of these challenges. Different ways have been proposed...
Abstract Background COVID-19’s after-effects among survivors are of increased concern. The cognitive aftermath COVID-19 virus infection was underrated. This study aimed to identify and compare the impairment (CI) its correlates control subjects. A total 85 adults who survived an equal number subjects (matched for age, sex, education, socioeconomic level) were included in this study. They recruited from Zagazig University Hospitals, Sharkia Province, Egypt. All interviewed utilizing a...
The massive integration of connected devices, together with the exponential growth Internet traffic, have forced mobile network operators to continuously upgrade their infrastructures. densification network, by introducing many more small cells, was promoted as a solution meet ongoing challenges. However, implies need for an appropriate backhaul capable handling anticipated traffic. This article presents brief overview wireless requirements and technologies that reinforce resiliency...
Ultra-dense 5G and beyond deployments are setting significant burden on cellular networks, especially for wireless backhauls. Today, a careful planning backhaul is more critical than ever. In this letter, we study the hierarchical topology design problem. We introduce Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based algorithm that can solve problem efficiently. compare quality of solutions derived by our DRL approach to optimal solution, according Integer Linear Program (ILP) formulation in previous...
It is well established that the performance of communication systems improved when deploying multiple antennas at one or both transmit/receive sides; and amount gained improvement depends on level multipath richness propagation channel. In ship-to-ship overwater channels, quantifying such an not easy task due to effect evaporation duct imposing complex range- height-dependent patterns received signal level. this study, based parabolic equations (PE) method using realistic distributions, we...
Liver cirrhosis is an irreversible destructive liver disease that associated with a wide range of complications. Among the recognized comorbidities are sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), which being more and often described among cirrhotics. This study aimed to detect prevalence SDB Egyptian post-viral cirrhotic adults.This enrolled 48 patients 16 apparently healthy control subjects. All controls were evaluated by thorough history taking, full clinical examination, laboratory investigations,...
Introduction: COVID-19 severity and mortality predictors could determine admission criteria reduce mortality. We aimed to evaluate the clinical-laboratory features of hospitalized patients with develop a novel score Methodology: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from who were admitted five Egyptian university hospitals. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, duration hospitalization, disease outcome analyzed, predict developed....
The exponential growth of traffic in mobile networks is leading to increased pressure on the infrastructure and particular their backhaul networks. It more critical than ever carefully plan In this paper, we formulate solve problem hierarchical wireless network design. formulating our problem, cover different requirements, namely: topology simplicity, resiliency, link reliability. We as an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) allowing us optimality. Furthermore, provide a graph theory-based...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the central role of diagnostic tests in control. Although reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is gold standard for diagnosis COVID-19, several rapid antigen (RAT) have been commercialized as point-of-care diagnostics. To best our knowledge, there are limited data on effect patient’s clinical and laboratory parameters RAT performance no studies exist that tested importance combining measurements blood enhancing RAT. Here we...
