Since their introduction, they have rapidly evolved and found application in essentially every disorder involving the WM. Aim The aim of this work was to study the clinical applications of DTI and fiber tractography in various neoplastic and nonneoplastic brain lesions, as well as to demonstrate their role in preoperative mapping of WM tracts in relation to brain lesions. Patients and methods A prospective study was conducted for 2 years on 40 patients presenting to Alexandria University with variable intracranial lesions related to WM tracts who underwent DTI and fiber tractography. The study included 25 males and 15 females. The age of the patients ranged from 6 to 76 years (mean age, 40.7 years). Qualitative analysis of DTI data was performed using directionally encoded color maps and three-dimensional tractography reconstruction. Results According to visual analysis multiple projection, association and/or commissural WM fiber tracts were involved; the most common was the corticospinal tract in 25 (62.5%) cases. WM tract involvement patterns were deviated/splayed tracts in 31 (64.6%) cases, infiltrated in nine (18.8%) cases, edematous in five (10.4%) cases, and interrupted in three (6.3%) cases. Conclusion DTI and fiber tractography are valuable noninvasive techniques providing qualitative information aiding in lesion characterization, determining WM integrity, and essential in the surgical planning for patients with intrinsic brain lesions.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"70 3-4 1","pages":"57 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78187933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accurate staging of lung cancer is important in determining the optimal treatment strategy and predicting the prognosis. Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), which has the advantages of PET and CT and minimizes their limitations, is a potential tool for the staging of lung cancer. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the role of PET/CT in the staging of lung cancer. Patients and methods This study was carried out on 40 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer referred to the Nuclear Medicine Unit affiliated to the Department of Radiodiagnosis at Sharq El Madina Hospital, Ministry of Health, Alexandria, between November 2017 and December 2019 for initial staging of lung cancer with PET/CT or restaging after therapy. Combined PET/CT imaging was performed using the Siemens biograph 64 PET/CT scanner. Results (a) Initial staging: PET/CT was able to assess the stage of ten patients (25%), whose stage could not be assessed by CECT. Both PET/CT and CECT disagreed in the staging of six patients. PET/CT staged 10 (25%) patients that could not be assessed by contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and they disagreed in staging of six patients (15%). T staging was predicted by PET/CT in the 40 patients (100%) and by CECT in 30 patients (75%), with disagreement in two patients (5%). PET/CT disagreed with CECT in N staging of 10 patients (25%). PET/CT detected distant metastasis (M) in 18 patients (45%), while CECT detected it in 14 patients (35%). (b) Restaging after neoadjuvant therapy: staging was concordant in six out of eight patients (75%) and dissimilar in two patients (25%). Conclusion PET/CT is an essential component in the initial staging of lung cancer for its better locoregional and distant staging abilities. It is also more reliable in restaging after neoadjuvant therapy, being more related to the functional activity of the residual tumor rather than its size.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"11 1","pages":"14 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88797817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the D-dimer could be elevated in deep venous thrombosis (DVT), we aimed to investigate the incidence of DVT in patients with SARS COVID-19 and elevated plasma levels of the D-dimer. Patients and methods A prospective observational study was carried out to screen all patients with a confirmed diagnosis of SARS COVID-19 with plasma D-dimer levels above 1000 ng/ml for the presence of DVT without related symptoms using complete compression Doppler ultrasound. Results A total of 52 patients were included in the study. Among them, 34 (67.3%) were males. All patients received standardized thromboprophylaxis treatment. The screening results of complete compression Doppler ultrasound revealed DVT in eight (15.4%) patients. Among these patients, the DVT was proximal in one (1.9%) patient and bilateral distal in two (3.8%) patients. The D-dimer level was significantly higher in patients with DVT than in patients without DVT (4531 vs. 2048 ng/ml, odds ratio 9.4, 95% confidence interval 1.2–70.3). The diagnostic ability of the D-dimer was satisfactory, with an receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.71 (95% confidence interval 0.62–0.83). Conclusion The incidence of DVT without symptoms in patients with SARS COVID-19 and elevated plasma level of D-dimer was 15.4%, with a significant difference between patients with and without DVT in terms of the D-dimer.

Patients and methods This study included 60 eyes (36 patients of different age and sex) presenting with horizontal strabismus. The first group included 30 eyes that were managed by MISS (patient group), and the second group included 30 eyes that were managed by the limbal approach (control group). Results No significant difference was found regarding postoperative pain, conjunctival redness, and ocular alignment. There was no significant increase in complications between the two groups. Operative time was longer in the MISS technique, with highly significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion MISS technique is an alternative technique to limbal incision that can be used on horizontal muscles. It has the same effect as the limbal approach with the same success rate. It has the advantages of sparing perilimbal episcleral vessels, which make some surgeon prefer it if there is fear of anterior segment ischemia.","PeriodicalId":22975,"journal":{"name":"The Scientific Journal of Al-Azhar Medical Faculty, Girls","volume":"196 1","pages":"64 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74417218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
