UnknownCharacterization of Antigen Escape Mutations in Chronic HBV-Infected Patients in Upper Egypt.

Background

Mutations within the "a" determinant region (position 124-147) that is present in the major hydrophilic region (MHR, position 99-160) of the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are associated with vaccine-escape, lack of diagnosis, and failure to hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) ...

UnknownCefotaxime removal enhancement via bio-nanophotocatalyst α-Fe2O3 using photocatalytic degradation technique and its echo-biomedical applications.
The present paper evaluates the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) performance of the biofabricated hematite nanoparticles (α-HNPs) for the degradation approach of the Cefotaxime (Cfm). The optimum pH of the solution to achieve the best PCD was found to be 10.5. The kinetics study for the PCD of the C...

UnknownThe Unmet Needs of Hepatitis E Virus Diagnosis in Suspected Drug-Induced Liver Injury in Limited Resource Setting.
Background: Currently, there are no specific biomarkers for drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and the diagnosis of DILI is based mainly on the exclusion of other causes of liver dysfunction and the recognition of potential causative drugs. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) diagnosis is not routinely en...

UnknownPeripheral Blood B-Cell Subsets Frequency and Distribution and the BSF-2(IL-6) to CSIF:TGIF(IL-10) Ratio as Severity-Associated Signatures in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Case-Controlled Study.
Although primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major cause of blindness worldwide, patients' immune response and its relation to the disease course have not been fully unraveled in terms of analyses of circulating B-cell subsets, as well as the association of these subsets with the severity of POA...

UnknownAntibiofilm and antivirulence potential of silver nanoparticles against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.
We aimed to isolate Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) from wound infections, determine their resistance and virulence profile, and assess the impact of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the bacterial growth, virulence and biofilm-related gene expression. AgNPs were synthesized and characterized u...

UnknownExploring breast cancer stigma among medical students in Egypt: a national multi-center cross-sectional study.

Background

Breast cancer (BC) stigma remains an understudied barrier to early detection and quality care, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Yet, there is a lack of studies that assessed BC stigma among medical students worldwide; a critical gap given their future role...

UnknownPrevalence of chronic cough, its risk factors and population attributable risk in the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study: a multinational cross-sectional study.

Background

Chronic cough is a common respiratory symptom with an impact on daily activities and quality of life. Global prevalence data are scarce and derive mainly from European and Asian countries and studies with outcomes other than chronic cough. In this study, we aimed to estimate the p...

UnknownHealth Status Outcomes With Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in ISCHEMIA.

Background

In ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches), an invasive strategy demonstrated better health status outcomes than a conservative strategy in patients with chronic coronary disease (CCD). Some previous studies have show...

UnknownSurgical site infection after gastrointestinal surgery in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a prospective, international, multicentre cohort study.

Background

Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common infections associated with health care, but its importance as a global health priority is not fully understood. We quantified the burden of SSI after gastrointestinal surgery in countries in all parts of the world.

Methods...

UnknownLaparoscopy in management of appendicitis in high-, middle-, and low-income countries: a multicenter, prospective, cohort study.

Background

Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. Differences between high- and low-income settings in the availability of laparoscopic appendectomy, alternative management choices, and outcomes are poorly described. The aim was to identify variation in surgi...
