Authors: Nasreldeen Samar A. , Abdel Hady Bassem M. , Abd Elaziz Ola H. , Ahmed Ahmed M. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) constitutes an important task. Neutrophil-lymphocytic ratio (NLR) and echo calcium score (eCS) have been recently identified as independent predictors of CAD.

Aim
The study aimed to assess the value of 2D echo calcium score and NLR as simple tools for the prediction of CAD documented by multislice computed tomography in type II diabetic patients.

Patients and methods
The study included 40 male patients with type II DM and known risk factors for CAD, who were referred for coronary computed tomography (CT) due to suspected CAD. NLR and eCS were assessed in all patients. Coronary calcium score and the presence of obstructive CAD were assessed by CT coronary angiography.

Results
Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of CAD; group I (18 patients) with nonobstructive CAD and group II (22 patients) with obstructive CAD. The authors found that patients in group II had significantly higher NLR, eCS, and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) compared with group I. There was a weak positive correlation between NLR and coronary calcium score and a strong positive correlation between eCS and CACS. The best sensitivity and specificity of eCS and NLR were 77.3, 66.7 and 77.3, 61.1%, respectively, when used alone to predict obstructive CAD. However, when combining NLR and eCS, the capability to predict obstructive CAD increased with sensitivity (90.9%) and specificity (72.2%).

Conclusion
NLR and eCS had the capability to predict obstructive CAD detected by CT coronary angiography in patients with type II DM.

Published: March 2024

Objective
We have studied the variability of blood transfusion on hemodynamics and its complications during cardiac surgeries at a single center in Egypt.

Patients and methods
A total of 35 patients of both sexes, with ages from 21 to 70 years, scheduled for open heart surgeries were prospectively enrolled in this observational study between December 2019 and June 2020. Hemodynamic variables, such as mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before induction (T1), after endotracheal intubation (T2), immediately before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (T3), 30 min into CPB (T4), 15 min after successful weaning (T5), after sternal closure (T6), and upon arrival in the ICU (T7). The total amount of administered blood and blood products transfused intraoperatively and on the first day postoperatively; the total amount of fluids administered, including the CPB prime volume; and the total intraoperative urine output were recorded. Moreover, the number of patients who needed inotropic support, recovery time, time to extubation in the first 24 h postoperatively, length of ICU stay, and postoperative complication were recorded.

Results
We found that 68.6% (24 patients) of patients undergoing cardiac surgery received blood and/or blood product transfusion intraoperatively, and 31.4% (11 patients) were not transfused blood, but 14.3% (five patients) of them received blood postoperatively. Moreover, there were significant increases in the numbers of American Sociological Association III patients in blood transfusion group compared with other group, with increased need for inotropic drug and increased postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Conclusion
Blood transfusion in cardiac surgeries was associated with more incidences of postoperative complication and worse outcomes.

Authors: Elwafa Eman E.A. , Hady Bassem M.A. , Elaziz Ola H.A. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most potent risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). Consequently, the diagnosis of CAD in diabetic patients is very important as early as possible. Microalbuminuria is a strong and independent indicator of increased cardiovascular risk among individuals with and without diabetes.

Aim
The study aimed to assess the relation between the degree of albuminuria and the angiographic severity of CAD in patients with type 2 DM.

Patients and methods
A total of 40 patients with type 2 DM who were referred for elective coronary angiography owing to a suspected CAD were included in the study. Urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) was calculated for all patients, and the severity of CAD was assessed using the SYNTAX score. All patients were assessed by conventional and 2-D speckle tracking echocardiography.

Results
The study population comprised 19 (41.5%) males and 21 (58.5%) females. Their mean age was 53.5±8.7 years. Patients were classified into two groups based on the level of UACR; group 1 included patients with UACR less than 30 mg/g (19 patients), and group 2 included patients with UACR greater than or equal to 30 mg/g (21 patients). The study revealed significantly higher SYNTAX score in patients in group 2 compared with patients in group 1 (P=0.02) and significantly lower left ventricular global longitudinal strain in patients in group 2 compared with patients in group 1 (P=0.016). There was also a weak positive correlation between UACR and SYNTAX score and the duration of DM (r=0.395 and 0.399, respectively).

Conclusion
Microalbuminuria can be used as a predictor of the presence and severity of CAD in type II DM.

Authors: Mahmoud Perehan M. , Salah Elden Hoda M. , Ahmed Gihan F. , Lofty Azza O. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Stunting is a common health problem that affects approximately one-third of children in developing countries. Environmental enteropathy is defined as an inflammatory condition of the gut, which is commonly presented in low-income countries that leads to intestinal malabsorption.

Aim
To study some risk factors of Environmental enteropathy in stunted children owing to malnutrition in the pre-school age (2–5 years).

Patients and methods
Our study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on one group of 80 children aged from 2 to 5 years, who were diagnosed to have stunting owing to malnutrition. Their height-for-age was below −2 SD according to the WHO growth curves, matched regarding sex and age. They were from the National Nutrition Institute and attended the stunting clinic every Monday and Thursday from July 2017 to October 2019.

Results
There was a statistically significant difference between stool analysis and neopterin level (P=0.0035). A higher level of neopterin was among those with Entamoeba histolytica infection. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the frequency of sweets and snack intake and neopterin level (P=0.001). Higher levels were among daily sweet intake. There was a positive correlation between neopterin level and age of starting weaning (P=0.006), whereas a negative correlation with duration of absolute breastfeeding (P=0.049).

Conclusion
Neopterin level was high among children with intestinal infection of E. histolytica followed by oxyrious and giardia. Dietary habits of daily intake of unhealthy sweety snacks showed a high level of neopterin. Exclusive 6 months of breastfeeding had a negative correlation with neopterin level.

Published: March 2024

Background
Cesarean section (CS) is ‘the delivery of a fetus through an abdominal incision (laparotomy) followed by incision of the uterine wall (hysterotomy).’

Objectives
To study the rate and categorization of emergency cesarean section (ECS) cases and their outcome at Al-Zahraa University Hospital.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective study that was conducted at Al-Zahraa University Hospital. It included 404 ECS cases, and they were categorized into three categories of ECS as follows: category I included 101 cases with immediate threat of life of women or of fetus, category II included 64 cases with maternal or fetal compromise but not immediately life-threatening, and category III included 239 cases needing early delivery but no maternal or fetal comprise.

Results
The present study shows that there is a high significant difference among the three categories of ECS studied cases regarding age (years) (P=0.000), parity (P=0.000), gestational age (weeks) (P=0.007), and number of previous CS (P=0.000), whereas there is a significant difference regarding preterm labor (P=0.026) and one or twins (P=0.029).

Conclusion
The rate of ECS at Al-Zahraa University Hospital was high during the period of the study (6 months). The most common indication of ECS during this period was uterine contractions in a case with absolute cause of CS. Fetal and maternal outcomes were very good.

Aim
To assess the outcome of living-related-donor liver transplantation for chronic hepatitis C infection in Egyptian patients including hepatitis C recurrence, fibrosis progression, and improved survival.

Patients and methods
This retrospective study included 104 adult Egyptian patients with chronic liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C, who underwent living-donor liver transplantation at Wadi El-Neel Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, during the period from January 2005 to January 2014. All data regarding comprehensive history taking, clinical examination, laboratory evaluation, model for end-stage liver disease score, fibrosis-4 score, liver biopsy, histopathology examination, and radiological evaluation before and after transplant were collected and analyzed. Moreover, the data of regimen of immunosuppression and regimen of antiviral therapy after transplant were collected and analyzed.

Results
There were 75 males and 29 females. Their ages ranged from 30 to 74 years, with an average of 51.62 years old. Of 104 cases, 90 were of class C, whereas 13 cases of class B, and only one case was class A Pugh–Child classification. Of 104 cases, 31 missed follow-up owing to follow-up in another hospital within their city. Recurrence of hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation occurred in 73 (70.19%) cases. Sustained virological response was observed in 40 (54.79%) cases, and relapse was observed in 33 (31.73%) cases after antiviral treatment. Second relapse after treatment occurred in 33 (31.73%) of 73 cases and received antiviral therapy course again, with sustained virological response in 15 (45.45%) cases out of 33, relapse again was seen in seven (21.21%) of 33 cases, and 11 (42.4%) of 33 cases were nonresponders. According to clinical outcomes in the studied cases, eight (7.7%) died, five (4.8%) cases had decompensated liver disease, five (4.8%) cases underwent retransplantation, two (19%) cases had liver fibrosis, and one case (0.96%) had hepatocellular carcinoma.

Published: March 2024

Background and aim
Tennis elbow is an abuse condition that out comes in pain over lateral side of elbow, provoked by activities involving gripping and manipulating objects by hand. It is frequently a consequence of participation in activities requiring repetitive manual tasks with awkward wrist positions. Tennis elbow has a variety of treatment options, starting from nonoperative treatment, including conservative treatment, bracing, and physiotherapy, to the last line of treatment being surgical intervention.

Materials and methods
A systemic review was performed using Google, PubMed, and Medline for a period from 2015 to 2019 comparing three methods of tennis elbow treatment: steroid injection, open surgery, and arthroscopic surgery.

Results
A total of 21 studies included 2055 patients treated by arthroscopic surgery. Overall, 3638 patients were treated by open surgery and 633 patients were treated by steroid injection.

Conclusion
This systematic review looked at high-level evidence to compare arthroscopic technique, open surgical technique, and steroid injection. There were no clinically significant differences among the three techniques (open, arthroscopic, and steroid injection) according to postoperative pain intensity (visual analog scale). Steroid injection had the least complication rate, with early return to work, but had higher recurrence rate.

Energy needs are increasing every year, on the other hand energy stocks from fossil materials will be depleted if they continue to be used, because energy from fossil sources cannot be renewed. Therefore, today we must utilize energy from new renewable energy sources because it can be renewed and environmentally friendly. Solar energy cannot be directly used and must be converted first into electrical energy. To convert in the form of electrical energy the components needed to convert solar energy into electrical energy are called solar cells. With the need for sufficiently large electrical energy, private homes should have switched and must take advantage of the existing potential of solar energy to be converted into electrical energy in meeting the electricity needs needed daily. This research focuses on descriptive research. By using a quantitative descriptive method, it is expected to produce research results that are truly in accordance with field conditions. The results of the calculations that can be concluded are that the investment costs are only around 4.3 years with an average use of panels that can reach a period of 25 years, and the power generated in 1 year is 18,885 kWh. Then the revenue generated from PLTS is IDR 38,525,400.

Published: March 2024

Coronary embolism (CE) is a rare cause of non-atherosclerotic acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The clinical presentation is similar to ACS, and the diagnosis is supported by Shibata criteria. Atrial fibrillation is the main reported etiology in CE cases. Management includes percutaneous intervention with thromboaspiration and anticoagulation. The following case is a description of a patient with acute chest pain and recently diagnosed atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response, is described. A thrombotic lesion in the distal right coronary artery of embolic origin, was documented. Successful mechanical thromboaspiration was performed; intravascular ultrasound showed no thrombus, dissection, or atherosclerotic plaque. CE is an underdiagnosed cause of ACS; diagnosis relies on Shibata criteria, and patients experience worse outcomes in follow-up.
