The group included, 107 who received 500 mg/24 h 7 days, 99 /12 and control only. All only symptomatic fever cough .Clinical biochemical evaluations study participants including...
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. Vitamin D deficiency may be one causes its development. To assess relation between recurrent attacks BPPV and deficiency. A case control study in which 40 patients were clinically diagnosed as posterior canal BPPV, Serum 25(OH) was measured at 1st visit. Patients divided into two groups; group (20 patients) received supplementation addition to repositioning maneuver B treated by only. Follow up all for 6 months,...
Little is known about the persistence of symptoms after clearance SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our study aimed to assess persistent in COVID-19 patients infection.A multi-center survey was conducted on first wave with confirmed Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, including presenting viral possible factors contributing such symptoms, were collected using an online multicomponent questionnaire. Descriptive inferential statistical analysis performed detect most persisting their...
Purpose: Anosmia or hyposmia, with without taste changes, are common symptoms that occur in SARS-CoV-2 infection and frequently persist as post-COVID-19 manifestations. This is the first trial to assess potential value of using local ivermectin form a mucoadhesive nanosuspension nasal spray treat anosmia. Methods: It controlled, randomized trial. Participants were recruited from South Valley University Hospitals Qena, Upper Egypt, ENT Chest Diseases Departments outpatient clinics. Patients...
Introduction: In Egypt, there is a paucity of new data regarding awareness HIV/AIDS among physicians. This study aimed to assess the level awareness, attitude, practice, and knowledge sample Egyptian physicians HIV natural history, epidemiology, virology, method transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, prevention, management. Methodology: Sixty-eight were enrolled in an observational analytic multicenter cross-sectional KAP tertiary health care facilities covering different...
Helicobacter pylori is assumed to cause many gastric and extragastric diseases. We aimed assess the possible association role of H. in Otitis media with effusion (OME), nasal polyps adenotonsillitis.A total 186 patients various ear, nose throat diseases were included. The study comprised 78 children chronic adenotonsillitis, 43 65 OME. OME assigned two subgroups: those who have did not adenoid hyperplasia. Among bilateral polyps, 20 individuals had recurrent 23 de novo polyps. Patients...
