There are about 11256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease - COVID-19 pandemic, most attention has focused on mode of transmission, clinical picture of the disease, treatment and prevention. In the coming weeks and months emphasis will gradually involve the post- acute care of COVID-19 survivors. It is anticipated that COVID-19 may have major impact on physical, cognitive, mental, social health status even in patients with mild disease. Moreover, pulmonary, radiologic, laboratory, sleep issues remain to be addressed
The investigators will study the effectiveness of acyclovir in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in assiut university hospital - dermatological out patient clinic the treatment group will receive acyclovir 200 mg 5 times per day the controlled group will receive local KOH solution
The essential anesthesia requirements for FESS include airway management, considerations for facilitating surgical access, provision of a clear and still surgical field for precision surgery, assuring quick and non-stimulating emergence from anesthesia, and fast-tracking patients for discharge. Postoperative agitation, although short-lived, is potentially harmful to both patients and recovery room staff, it has a potential for self-injury by removing intravenous catheters, tubing, oxygen masks and nasal packs. Furthermore, very agitated patients can pose an immediate danger to operating theatre staff.
Arterio-arterial vascular access, Arterio-venous synthetic access, Venous hypertension, Hemodialysis patients Purpose: To describe a technique used to treat a patient with Lt upper limb synthetic arterio-venous vascular access and venous hypertension of the same limb. Technique: the investigator expose the venous anastomosis of the graft by small longitudinal incision in the axilla and dissection of the axillary artery just parallel to the axillary vein , the investigator disconnect the graft from the axillary vein and do primary repair of the vein , then the investigator do end to side anastomosis of the graft to the axillary artery , after finishing this anastomosis the axillary artery ligated just below the anastomosis. Conclusion: the conversion of arterio-venous graft to arterio-arterial vascular access in precious access with venous hypertension lead to resolution of edema of venous hypertension and preservation of access for dialysis.
evaluation of the clinical course of COVID-19 in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with or without hydroxychloroquine.
PURPOSE: to determine the effect of interval training on sex hormones, metabolic and tumor markers BACKGROUND: Cancer is one of death top causes in many countries1. In Egypt for example, cancer incidence is 157.0 per 100 000 women with probability increasing up to three-fold by 2050 especially in older adult women2. Who exhibit multiple factors leading to cancer including but not limited to physical inactivity and postmenopausal obesity which considered the starting point of developing insulin resistance3. High blood insulin level stimulates cancer progression by enhancing cell proliferation, decreasing cells apoptosis, increased level of fatty acids in conjunction with higher tumor cell formation capacity invasion and survival4. Moreover, high level of insulin resistance and adipose tissue increase the hormonal level of estradiol and testosterone coupled with lower SHBG level. It was noticed that being postmenopausal women with high adipose tissue content will increase the risk of having cancer in which adipose tissue is considered as the main source of steroids hormones that functioning in a different way rather than in premenopausal age. Based on the mentioned underlying conditions, postmenopausal women subjected to have variable types of cancer such as breast, endometrial, stomach, etc6. So, regular screening of cancer incidence especially in high-risk women through tumor indicators is necessitated to work against further cancer progression. CEA and CA125 are low-cost tumor blood biomarkers used widely for early cancer identification, recurrence monitoring and follow up which linked to proinflammatory cytokines production . HYPOTHESES: may have no effect to interval training on sex hormones , metabolic and tumor markers in postmenopausal women RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there effect to interval training on sex hormones , metabolic and tumor markers in postmenopausal women?
The primary end-point of our prospective, observational study is to count T cells in patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and healthy controls. In addition, the expression of T cell exhaustion marker was measured in COVID-19 cases.
Regional blocks are commonly used in pediatric anesthesia to achieve adequate postoperative analgesia. Suprazygomatic Maxillary nerve block (SMN) and Greater Palatine nerve block (GPN) are regional blocks described for use during cleft palate (CP) repair surgery.The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic effect as well as the incidence of complications associated with the use of bilateral GPN and bilateral SMN blocks in children undergoing palatoplasty surgery.
Good shoulder function is a prerequisite for effective hand function, as well as for performing multiple tasks involving mobility, ambulation, and activities of daily living (ADL). A common sequela of stroke is hemiplegic shoulder pain, which can hamper functional recovery and subsequently lead to disability. Hemiplegic shoulder pain can begin as early as 2 weeks post stroke but typically occurs within 2-3 months post stroke.
1. Determination the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica infections among patients at Assiut University Hospitals presented with diarrhea/dysentery. 2. Evaluatation the role of different cultures in diagnosing Entamoeba . 3. Molecularly differentiation between Entamoeba species to monitor the true prevalence of E.histolytica .
