Obesity is characterized by complex disorder associated with the accumulation of abnormal and huge amount fat inside body. Diabetes, metabolic problems cardiovascular illnesses are only a few serious health hazards obesity, multifaceted condition. Traditional treatments, especially those derived from herbal therapy, have drawn attention as supplemental approaches to obesity management. As popular herb in cooking medicine, fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare) been shown probable advantages,...
The diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage in patients with negative sputum/smear for tuberculous bacilli has been well studied. However, its the subset both and culture is seldom reported.A retrospective study referred bronchoscopy suspicion pulmonary tuberculosis during period from April 1st, 2015 to March 30th, 2016, who had bacilli.One hundred ninety fulfilled inclusion criteria. Bronchoalveolar detected further 61/190 (32.1%) cases. mycobacterial polymerase chain reaction (positive...
Rationale: Waterpipes, also called hookahs, are currently used by millions of people worldwide. Despite the increasing use waterpipe smoking, there is limited data on health effects smoking and no federal regulations regarding its use.Objectives: To assess human lung using clinical biological parameters in young, light-use smokers.Methods: We assessed light-use, waterpipe-only smokers comparison with lifelong nonsmokers cough sputum scores, function, chest high-resolution computed tomography...
Waterpipe (also called hookah, shisha, or narghile) smoking is a common form of tobacco use in the Middle East. Its becoming more prevalent Western societies, especially among young adults as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. While risk cigarette well documented, waterpipe not defined with limited information on its health impact at epidemiologic, clinical and biologic levels respect lung disease. Based knowledge that airway epithelial cell DNA methylation modified response smoke...
This study measured intraabdominal pressure in morbidly obese and multiparous patients who underwent abdominoplasty with musculoaponeurotic plication. The purpose of this was to evaluate any potential adverse effect on pulmonary function by virtue tests measurement peak airway pressure. included 43 multiparous, women (mean body mass index, 35.8 kg/m2) a mean age (+/- SD) 38.6 +/- 7 years. All had full repair the system during period from June 1999 May 2002. Forty-three were seen over 24...
Pollen is a major cause of allergic respiratory diseases. In Qatar, data on the presence and prevalence allergenic airborne types pollen quite limited.The study aimed to determine correlate most frequently implicated detected by aerobiological monitoring samplers in allergy symptoms. An survey was started May 8, 2017. Airborne collected using two Hirst type seven-day recorder volumetric traps. Skin prick test patients attending clinics Doha commercial extracts conducted.Twenty-five...

To assess and compare the severity of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection in patients with without a history influenza vaccination. In this cross-sectional study descriptive statistics were used to analyze COVID-19-related parameters, including demographics, comorbidities, severity. Normally distributed data mean, standard deviation, 95% confidence interval (CI) reported, while non-normally was presented median inter-quartile range. Categorical summarized using frequencies...
Primary intrapulmonary thymoma (PIT), defined as the presence of tissue in lung without an accompanying mediastinal component, is uncommon and so offers a diagnostic quandary. We describe case PIT 81-year-old man.
Limited studies correlate allergic symptoms and associated outdoor biological particle exposure among schoolchildren globally.This study aimed to investigate the relationship between seasonality of diseases middle annual variation airborne pollen fungal spore in a hot humid geographical region (Qatar).During November 2017 January 2018, self-reported living Doha capital city Qatar was conducted, data gathered were evaluated relation collected monthly spores. Participants' by conducting survey...
Abstract Daily monitoring of airborne fungal spores was carried out for the first time in Al Khor city, Qatar, using a Hirst type 7-day recording volumetric spore trap, from May 2017 to 2019. During sampling period, annual and monthly fluctuations, as well intradiurnal variations concentrations, were evaluated. Cladosporium, followed by Alternaria, types most abundant atmosphere with strong interannual variability atmospheric concentrations being observed. The Annual Spore Integrals (ASIns)...
The increasing number of aerobiological stations empower comparative studies to determine the relationship between pollen concentrations in different localities and appropriate distance, which should be established sampling stations. In Qatar, this is basically first study for a continuous monitoring interval.The aimed assess abundance seasonality most prevalent types, plus identify potential differences two sites within country.Airborne data were collected during 2017-2020 by using...
Two field experiments were carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 under newly reclaimed sandy soil at Sadat City, Menoufia governorate, Egypt.The aim these is to study response garlic cultivars namely Balady clone Sids-40 nitrogen fertilizer sources in form organic (botanical-waste compost, animal waste compost animalbotanical-waste addition inorganic (NPK) 100 % recommended does (120, 80, 70 kg fed -1 NPK fertilizers respectively) + (20 m3) cattle...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder for which obesity major risk factor. It has been suggested that the circumference of neck (NC) more predictive OS A than general assessed by Body Mass Index (BMI). In National Tertiary Center Sleep Study, Hamad Medical Corporation, Qatar; 187 patients were studied to evaluate usefulness NC and BMI in diagnosing OSA selecting overnight polysomnography (PSG). Eighty (42.8%), 69 males 11 females with higher mean age, had evidence significant...
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common problem and an important cause of morbidity mortality. Between June 1999 to May 2000 eight hundred sixty patients were admitted the Medical Intensive Care Unit, Hamad Corporation, 102 whom (11.8%) with diagnosis upper bleeding. The most nationality was Qatari (42.2%) age group between 50-60years old (28.4%). frequent peptic ulcer disease (50 patients) followed by variceal Our results are compatible other reports.
OBJECTIVE: To study MRI changes in different sequences acute stroke patients, their correlation with collaterals and implication on clinical outcome prognosis. BACKGROUND: Sequences of show aspects collateral circulation including FLAIR hyperintense vessels (FHVS), PCA laterality SWI hypointense (SWIHV). We aim to correlate MR determine prognosis . DESIGN/METHODS: A retrospective case control patients FHVS, without FHVS & normal were included. Presence FHV, SWIHV (ASPECTS), diffusion...
To investigate the risk factors and characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea records were reviewed retrospectively 88 patients at a European center (UK) during January-October 2005 198 Middle Eastern (Qatar) from April 2002-April 2005. A greater percentage (83%) in UK group had OSA (RDI-5 events/hr) compared to 55% Qatar (p < 0.05). In both groups was diagnosed more males. Declared alcohol intake, smoking, insomnia, witnessed nocturia associated significantly with BMI higher (mean 34...
