Group D was composed of 163 patients with dermatologic symptoms diagnosed as intrinsic atopic dermatitis and/or non-IgE-mediated urticaria. Group G was composed of 23 patients diagnosed with non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergies. Group R was composed of 36 patients with respiratory symptoms diagnosed as non-IgE-mediated rhinitis and/or non-IgE-mediated asthma.\u0000Results: The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test comparing the precipitin’s titers of group G and group D showed a non-significant p-value of 0.83366.

When an individual is recognized for their good deed, they feel delighted. This inspires them to keep getting better and binds them to greater goals. First Annual award ceremony of the Mankweng Tertiary and Academic Hospital was held in March 2022. The hospital’s management recognized outstanding employees from all the different sections. After the ceremony, the hospital’s management displayed those award winners’ names on the wall of the main corridor of the hospital and this was done in order to enhance further motivation, engagement & encouragement.

As patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) avoid sun exposure and use medications that could potentially result in vitamin D deficiency, this problem becomes more apparent. Unfortunately, there are no data available on the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among patients with SLE in our local area.\u0000\u0000\u0000Objective: To assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among patients with a new onset of systemic lupus erythematosus in Dubai, and to determine whether low vitamin D levels are correlated with disease activity.\u0000\u0000\u0000Methodology and Data Collection: a retrospective cohort study of patients with new onset of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, being diagnosed in less than 1 year and were followed up at Dubai Hospital (UAE) from January 2009 till December 2012. Demographic and clinical data were collected as well as 25(OH) D3 levels. The incidence of vitamin D insufficiency was calculated as a ratio between the numbers of patients with 25(OH) D levels below the specified cut-off values (30ng/ml and 10ng/ml, respectively). SLE was diagnosed according to the American college of rheumatology (ACR SLE) classification criteria of 1997.

Spearman correlation test showed a statistically significant inverse correlation between vitamin D level versus SLEDAI % from baseline to 1-year later. \u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusion: This study showed a direct inverse relationship between lupus activity and a low level of vitamin D.

Cholestatic-specific pathology was the most common pattern observed among the general cases with hepatobiliary pathologies and among those having specific mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19.

The aim of this study was to systematize the current knowledge on the use of 3D printing technology in neu - rosurgery and to attempt an outline the future paths of its development. Material and methods: The analysis was based on English-language literature from 2017-2021 indexed in the Mendeley and Scopus databases. Results: The application of 3D printing in neurosurgery concerns: 1) teaching students, 2) training of residents neurosurgeons, 3) individualized surgery planning, 4) dedicated cranial and spinal implants, 5) the future of 3D printing in neurosurgical implantology. There were 5 main neurosurgery subtopics in which 3D printing was used: “vascular neurosurgery” (31%), “skull, cranial neurosurgery” (22.4%), “neuro-oncology” (19.3%), “spine” (14.3%) and “others” (13%). The number of published articles has been steadily increasing by 11-33% annually. Conclusion: 3D printing has an enormous potential for clinical use and in the we will continue to observe its dynamic development. In neurosurgery 3D prints are currently most commonly used for didactic purposes as detailed anatomical models, for training residents and young surgeons and by specialists for the simulation of complex or innovative surgeries. The future of the use of additive 3D printing in neurosurgery lies in the biologi - cal 3D printing, the creation of artificial organs and the development of biological implants in tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":52409,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Translational and Clinical Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45958424","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}
