Residents of Egypt's Nile river delta have among the world's highest seroprevalence hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. To assess impact HCV on chronic liver disease, we studied association between HCV, other viruses, and cirrhotic disease in a cross-sectional, community-based survey 801 persons aged > or = 10 years living semi-urban, village. were systematically sampled using questionnaires, physical examination, abdominal ultrasonography serologically for antibodies to (confirmed by...

Eccrine spiradenoma is a rare benign dermal tumor which usually diagnosed after excision by histopathological results. A few case reports described imaging ultrasound only. We describe additional magnetic resonance features of scrotal eccrine different sequences. report the 67- year- old man presented with mildly painful intrascrotal swelling that had been increasing in size. The lesion was evaluated and imaging, diagnosis confirmed histopathology. patient underwent surgical removal lesion....

Zinner syndrome is a rare anomaly of the urogenital tract. The related to delay in embryogenesis ureteric buds and associated with unilateral renal absence, cyst formation seminal vesicles, ipsilateral obstruction ejaculatory.

Seventeen children with Erb's (C5/6 and C5/6/7 types) obstetric brachial plexus palsy who underwent low rotation humeral osteotomy to treat internal contracture of the shoulder were recalled back clinic at a mean 10 (range 8-14) years after surgery. Eight male nine female age 16 13-20) years. The procedure was done 6 5-8) Preoperative, early postoperative, late postoperative motor assessments compared. There no recurrence posturing there maintenance improvements in elbow extension deficit...

Synovial sarcomas are most commonly localized in the extermities, especially lower thigh and knee areas. Retroperitoneal synovial sarcoma is very rare. We decribe radiological findings of an adult retroperitoneal sarcoma.

Sonoelastography is an emerging technology that has been used to evaluate the musculoskeletal system including brachial plexus of peripheral nerves, which only recently considered for study by shear wave elastography. The purpose this establish normal sonoelastographic features C5-C7 nerve roots plexus.Forty healthy individuals (21 males and 19 females) were enrolled in study. Shear elastography was at interscalene interval. Normal values obtained.The mean elastic modulus C5 root 16.9 kPa...

The use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in clinical settings is common. However, the value BIA-based parameters diagnosing metabolic syndrome (MetS) children under-investigated. Herein, we aimed to study usefulness BIA-indices diagnoses MetS 6-10-year-old girls. Therefore, a diagnostic accuracy case-control was conducted, which included 75 girls aged 10-16 years, divided into three age-matched groups (normal, None-MetS, and MetS). Anthropometric indices, BIA (including fat-free...

Thrombotic risk is increased in patients with cancer and there are important implications for those who suffer a venous thromboembolism (VTE). We undertook this study to determine the frequency, clinical patterns, outcome of VTE Saudi cancer.Cancer (solid tumors lymphoma) developed from January 2004 2009 were studied retrospectively. Demographics characteristics related thrombosis evaluated.A total 701 seen during period. was diagnosed 47 (6.7%) (median age 52, range 18-80 years). Lower limb...

Abstract Background & Aims Hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) genotype 4 (G4) infection is common in the Middle East. Post‐treatment long‐term outcomes have not been reported these patients. This study evaluates patients after interferon‐based therapy. Patients and methods A total of 157 were followed from June 2001 to February 2012. Descriptive analytical statistics, cumulative independent predictors disease progression calculated. Results The overall age was 48.0 ± 11.8 years, 75 (47.8%) males...

The objective of this study is to estimate the reference values for number fascicles and cross-sectional area (CSA) ulnar nerve at a single predetermined site by ultrasound in healthy young adult males. demographic physical characteristics 50 male volunteers were evaluated recorded. subjects positioned supine with elbow flexed 90° palm hand placed on hard surface. was scanned bilaterally 1 cm proximal medial epicondyle projection cubital tunnel. mean CSA identified. In addition, side-to-side...

<br><b>Background/Aim:</b> Gallstone disease (GD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) are associated with metabolic syndrome. Despite the benign nature of NAFLD, 10% patients may develop advanced fibrosis cirrhosis. We aimed to identify prevalence factors NAFLD among GD in Saudi population.<br><b>Patients Methods:</b> This is a single-center, observational cohort study that included seen general surgery clinics at our institution from 2011 2017. All biopsies were taken same time as...

Primary liposarcomas of the female and male breasts are very rare. Heterologous differentiation in adipocytic tumors is also an exceedingly rare phenomenon, which occasionally reported literature. We describe case a 22 year-old who presented with relatively large left breast mass was clinically diagnosed as giant fibroadenoma, but histologically showed well differentiated liposarcoma evidence extensive chondroid differentiation. The mammographic radiological features correlated...

Introduction Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has emerged as a promising technique for evaluating the extent and severity of Crohn's disease activity. To compare how we measure activity with MRE endoscopy. Material methods We retrospectively reviewed studies 60 patients suspicious who underwent 1.5-T MRI examinations (T1-weighted images pre- post-IV contrast medium administration T2-weighted images) endoscopy within one month, they were evaluated by radiology consultant experience 17...

Ultrasound (US) is a promising tool for skeletal muscle assessment; however, US studies have scarcely focused on Arabic populations. This study examined the association of handheld indicators and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters in healthy females. A cross-sectional was conducted 60 females whose thickness (MT) area (CSA) rectus femoris (RF) were measured alongside their MT pennation angle (PA) medial gastrocnemius (MG) (both muscles dominant side). Anthropometric body...

Background: Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) poses significant risks to thoracic development and pulmonary function in children due the deformities’ impact on space available for lung (SAL). Various surgical techniques, including growth-sparing methods like growing rods, vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR), Shilla system, aim correct spinal deformities while allowing growth. This literature review explores efficacy of these interventions improving SAL function, as measured by...
