Methods Fifteen patients (mean age = 58±8 years; 3 women), who underwent successful angioplasty for first STEMI, were recruited following informed consent. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging (1.5T) was performed on day 3 and month 6 post-angioplasty. 2D T2* maps (6 TEs = 2.6-13.7 ms; ΔTE=2.2ms) and Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) images of the entire left ventricle (LV) were acqu...

Chronic airways infection and inflammation are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in chronic lung diseases (CLD). Pulmonary exacerbations are major causes of morbidity in CLD. Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) is a product of endogenous metabolic processes whose presence in exhaled breath is considered an index of inflammatory processes. Objective. To evaluate carbon monoxide (eCO) as inflam...

Background: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) is an uncommon condition that occurs after endometrial trauma, still it affects many women seeking fertility. Hystroscopic adhesolysis the standard management procedure for IUAs, yet concerns arise about incidence of recurrence. This study evaluates efficacy Platelet rich plasma in decreasing adhesion recurrence following hystroscopic severe intrauterin...

Plasma and left ventricular (LV) renin and angiotensinogen concentrations were assessed in a rat model of pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy to determine if myocardial levels remained proportional to plasma levels over time. Three days after subdiaphragmatic aortic constriction (AC), LV hypertrophy was evident and renin concentrations in both plasma and LV, although not significantly elevate...

Background Chronic prostatitis is a common urological diagnosis in men of all ages in Egypt. causes many significant morbidity, coping strategy play important role to deal the patients diagnosed with chronic and cope their case. Aim: study aims evaluate effect intervention for patients diagnosed Research design: A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Setting: This conducted at...

BACKGROUND Normal tissue toxicity is the dose-limiting side effect of radiotherapy. Spatial fractionation irradiation techniques, like microbeam radiotherapy (MRT), have shown promising results in sparing the normal brain tissue. Most MRT studies have been conducted at synchrotron facilities. With the aim to make this promising treatment more available, we have built the first desktop image-gui...

BACKGROUND Road traffic injuries (RTIs) constitute 45% of injury mortality in Egypt; 75% of these injuries are pedestrians related. Traditionally, research on road traffic safety has focused on the traffic environment and the vehicles. However, little attention has been given to road risky behaviors and perceptions of road safety by pedestrians as risk factors associated with high pedestrian in...
