Individuals with CKD have been demonstrated to have increased serum levels of visfatin. A new study suggests that high visfatin levels in individuals with CKD accurately predict cardiovascular abnormalities. Chronic renal failure, atherosclerosis, and calci ﬁ cation in the carotid arteries vary in individuals. The researchers set out to look at the correlation of visfatin level and cardiovascular abnormalities in CKD patients. In this case e control comparative study, conventional echocardiogram and carotid duplex assessment were used to evaluate the differences between 40 patients with stage III or stage IV CKD receiving conservative treatment, 40 ESRD patients receiving regular hemodialysis, and 20 participants as a control group. Results : Hemodialysis-dependent carotid atherosclerosis, systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and calci ﬁ cations are more common in ESRD patients compared with nonhemodialysis-dependent individuals that signi ﬁ cantly correlated with high serum visfatin levels compared with healthy control participants. Carotid atherosclerosis, diastolic dysfunction, and systolic dysfunction are all more likely to occur in those with CKD who had increased carotid intima-media thickness ( P ¼ 0.036) of carotid Doppler, decreased EF % ( P ¼ 0.032), increased left ventricular mass index ( P ¼ 0.004), and reversed Early diastolic over late diastolic trans mitral ﬂ ow (E/A) ratio ( P ¼ 0.003) demonstrated by echocardiographic and carotid Doppler assessment. Patients with an elevated visfatin level had increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries with a high risk of ischemic stroke.","PeriodicalId":256725,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar International Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115234790","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}

Aim and objectives : To compare between COVID-19-associated stroke and non-COVID-19-associated stroke cases regarding risk factors, characteristics, and outcome. Patients and methods : In a prospective study, 297 patients diagnosed clinically and radiologically as having stroke and admitted to Emergency Department and stroke unit of Al-Azhar University hospitals were recruited in the period from beginning of December 2021 to the end of May 2022. They were classi ﬁ ed into ischemic stroke (IS), cerebral venous thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hemorrhage groups. Workup for COVID-19 was done in each group followed by comparison between both groups. Results : We evaluated 297 patients, and 46 (15.4%) had COVID-19 infection. In IS group, age, hypertension, and previous cerebrovascular stroke were signi ﬁ cantly lower. Large vessel occlusion, median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, and serum ferritin were signi ﬁ cantly higher in COVID-19-associated IS group. Moreover, COVID-19-associated IS had a worse outcome regarding median Modi ﬁ ed Rankin scale, hemorrhagic transformation, and mortality rate. According to TOAST classi ﬁ cation, cryptogenic subtype was signi ﬁ cantly higher in COVID-19-associated IS group. Lymphocyte (%) was signi ﬁ cantly lower but D-dimer was signi ﬁ cantly higher in COVID-19-infected patients in all stroke groups.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin disorder are two types of lymphoid neoplasms. Aim : To examine how positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may be used to diagnose nodal lymphoma, analyze the effectiveness of 18-FDG-PET/CT in the ﬁ rst staging of nodal lymphoma, analyze the function of PET-CT in patient monitoring both during and after the therapeutic course, and examine the function of PET-CT in foretelling and spotting relapses. Patients and methods : A total of 30 patients (12 females and 18 males; 11 Hodgkin disorder and 19 non-Hodgkin disorder) with histologically con ﬁ rmed malignant lymphoma were enrolled in this investigation. They were split into three groups judging by the outcomes of the PET/CT examination. Results : CT for diagnosis was compared with PET/CT results. The current study demonstrated the critical relevance of PET/CT in lymphoma staging, monitoring therapeutic response, and follow-up. The present investigation demonstrated the signi ﬁ cance of 18F-FDG. When it comes to the early staging of lymphomas, PET/CT has shown to be a valuable tool in the treatment of lymphomas. PET/CT exhibited substantial effects on early and delayed therapy response evaluation. Conclusion : The outcomes of the present research highlighted the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT as a technique for the ﬁ rst staging of lymphomas.

Patients and methods : Our current research study included 50 patients, comprising 34 men and 16 women, who had hepatic lesions that were detected using a variety of imaging modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography scan, and dynamic and diffusion MRI. Results : On noncontrast MRI, 26 lesions were detected in our 21 patients. Different signal intensities were displayed by these lesions on noncontrast MRI; we found that hypointensity in T1 is the commonest signal, whereas, hyperintensity was the commonest in T2 weighed image. Conclusion : Reduced need for needless laparotomies for incurable illness may change patient treatment and result in considerable cost savings when liver metastases are detected as early as possible.","PeriodicalId":256725,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar International Medical Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129390725","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}

In this context, accurate preoperative biometric measurement is a crucial requirement. Aim : Comparing the refractive predictability of optical biometry versus applanation ultrasonic biometry in high axial myopic eyes undergoing cataract surgery. Patients and methods : A total of 50 eyes from 50 patients with axial lengths greater than 26.5 mm and just cataracts were analyzed in this study. In this study, patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Twenty-ﬁ ve patients were split evenly between the two groups, with group 1 using optical biometry and group 2 using applanation ultrasound. Results : Group 1 mean age was 53.8 ± 8.9 years as it was 51.8 ± 10.8 years in group 2. There were seven (28%) males and 18 (72%) females in group 1, while there were 11 (44%) males and 14 (56%) females in group 2. There was no statistically signi ﬁ cant variation in axial length between groups ( P ¼ 0.101). There was a statistically signi ﬁ cant increased K1 and K2 among group 1 when compared with group 2 ( P ¼ 0.003 and 0.001, respectively). There was statistically signi ﬁ cant ( P ¼ 0.015) increased anterior chamber depth in group 1 when compared with group 2. Signi ﬁ cant differences in postoperative refraction were seen across the groups ( P ¼ 0.001) (spherical equivalence values).
