The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between Coenzyme Q10 (Co Q10) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the blood of individuals diagnosed with non-segmental vitiligo. The purpose of this article is to provide readers a thorough introduction to vitiligo, including such topics as the disease's epidemiology, categorization, probable causes, underlying pathogenic processes, diagnostic approaches, and several treatment options. Our goal in compiling this summary is to be a useful tool for clinicians and researchers interested in vitiligo by providing an overview of the current state of knowledge. Conclusions: Because of its complex aetiology, vitiligo is difficult to diagnose and treat. Melanocyte dysfunction is fueled by a complex web of elements including genetic susceptibility, autoimmune processes, oxidative stress, and environmental influences. In order to choose the best course of therapy for vitiligo, the severity and duration of the condition must be evaluated. Treatment for this ailment includes a combination of medicinal, phototherapeutic, and psychosocial approaches.

This study aimed to assess the electrolyte changes following phototherapy in neonates admitted to pediatric department In Benha university hospital. Methods: This study was carried out in the NICU of Benha University Hospital and involved the participation of 61 healthy newborns diagnosed with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy. The research included a comprehensive evaluation, comprising detailed maternal, obstetric, and neonatal histories, meticulous clinical examinations, and a diverse range of investigations. These investigations involved complete blood counts, determination of blood group, profiling of bilirubin levels, and the quantification of electrolyte concentrations (sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium). Blood samples were collected both before and after the phototherapy sessions. Results: This study involved a cohort of 61 cases, with 32 being male (52.5%) and 29 female (47.5%). Their ages had a mean ± SD of 5.77 ± 1.94. 41 cases had a Normal Birth weight. The mode of delivery revealed that 44.3% of cases were delivered through Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD), while 55.7% were delivered through Cesarean Section (CS). Examining gestational age, the majority (62.3%) fell within the 36–39-week range, 26.2% had a gestational age of ≥40 weeks, and the Mean ± SD gestational age was 38.0 ± 1.84 weeks. Of the cases, 68.9% underwent conventional phototherapy, while 31.1% were treated with LED. Significant differences were observed between pre-and post-treatment Total Bilirubin levels (p<0.001). Conclusions: Our study revealed a significant reduction in total bilirubin levels following phototherapy, along with notable changes in calcium, sodium, and magnesium levels. Serum electrolyte levels were not correlated with mode of delivery or birth weight. Additionally, hypocalcemia after phototherapy was more prevalent in preterm neonates (<36 weeks) compared to term neonates (≥36 weeks).","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335728","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 regard, ultrasound imaging has shown to be invaluable due to the fact that it allows for assessment without the use of ionising radiation. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of DDH and septic hip arthritis in neonates. Methods: Newborns at Benha University Hospital and other private facilities were analysed using a comparative cross-sectional research methodology. The study population was subjected to in-depth interviews, physical exams, and ultrasound assessments. The ultrasound evaluation looked at the shape of the hip, the location of the femoral head, and the strength of the hip joint. The degree of irregularity was determined by a combination of measurements and visual inspections, such as measuring alpha and beta angles. Patients who had favourable ultrasonography results were monitored and referred to specialists as needed. Conclusions Both the positive and negative predictive capacities of ultrasonography were quite high (80% and 100%, respectively). In addition, a high area under the curve (AUC=0.949) and associated 92% diagnostic accuracy rate were found when employing ROC curve analysis to differentiate DDH from normal findings using hip ultrasonography. Furthermore, a positive family history (p=0.007), oligohydramnios (p=0.003), and caesarean section (p=0.008) were all significantly associated with an increased risk of DDH incidence, as determined by the study's analysis into probable DDH causes based on the analysed data. We conclude that ultrasound is a useful and non-invasive method for assessing hip joint issues in neonates, especially DDH. The clinical examination of newborns with suspected hip abnormalities benefits greatly from its accuracy and its capacity to detect related risk factors.","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"253 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335737","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 purpose of this research was to determine whether early enteral feeding has any effect on the risk of developing significant problems after major surgery. Two hundred intensive care unit (ICU) patients at Benha University Hospitals were randomly assigned to either group A (early feeding) or group B (late feeding) in this prospective cohort observational research. Albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, ALT, AST, ALP, total bilirubin, urea nitrogen, and creatinine were not significantly different between the two groups, however white blood cell counts were significantly different. We observed that 62% of Group A scored a 3, compared to 61% of Group B; 36% of Group A scored a 4, compared to 36% of Group B; 2% of Group A scored a 4, compared to 3% of Group B; and 0% of Group A scored a 4 compared to 3% of Group B. Hypoglycemia during intervention and ICU stay duration >3 days are significantly different between the two groups. When comparing the two groups, there is a notable difference in terms of the occurrence of a new infection, the peak level of C-reactive protein throughout the ICU stay, and the length of time spent on mechanical ventilation. We conclude that early postoperative enteral feeding decreases the risk of infection complications, perhaps resulting in a shorter duration of stay and less need for intensive care.","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335782","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}

Vaginal exams (VE) are the gold standard for gauging cervical dilation and foetal head position. The purpose of this research was to examine how useful transperineal ultrasonography (TPUS) is for tracking labour. Methods: Thirty-six first-time mothers were included in this prospective observational research. All of the women were at least 18 years old and carrying a single baby during 37 to 41 weeks' gestation. After doing a transvaginal ultrasound (TPUS), the doctor took notes on the mother's cervical dilatation, the foetal head descent, and the head position of the baby. The results of the VE were compared to these measures. The average age of the participants was determined to be 33 years and 7.4 months. The average body mass index was 27.31.3 kg/m2. The average gestational age was 39 weeks and 1 day. There was a favourable connection between the foetal head station as measured by VE and the Head-perineum distance as measured by US (p0.001). There was a favourable connection between the foetal head station as measured by VE and the Head-perineum distance as measured by US (p0.001). Women were more likely to comply with and be satisfied with TPUS (66.7% vs. 38.9% with VE, p 0.001) than males were with VE. In conclusion, TPUS shows potential as a safe and user-friendly method for tracking the development of labour in first-time mothers. Our results show that TPUS measures correlate well with traditional vaginal checks at many time points during childbirth.","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"170 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139336500","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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of chromo hysteroscopy in diagnosing and treating abnormal uterine bleeding in women. The Components and Procedures: Over the course of a year, 115 women with AUB problems were surveyed at the outpatient clinic of the Department of gynaecology and obstetrics at Benha University's department of medicine. Chromo hysteroscopy, performed with 5 ml of 1% methylene blue, was performed after conventional hysteroscopy. Distinct staining patterns seen. Staining that was concentrated in one area was termed positive, while staining that was more evenly distributed was regarded normal. These results were compared to those that had already been observed (on conventional hysteroscopy). Differentially stained regions were sampled for biopsies. The correlation between histopathology and hysteroscopic and chromo-hysteroscopic results was investigated. It was determined that chromo hysteroscopy had a high rate of success in diagnosing endometrial illness. The percentages for sensitivity (92.54%), specificity (83.33%), PPV (88.57%), and NPV (-92.54%) are as follows: (88.89 percent ). In addition to the 16 instances of atrophic endometritis, 28 cases of simple endometrial hyperplasia, 4 cases of atypical endometrial hyperplasia, and a new single case of endometrial cancer, the chromo hysteroscopy method resulted to the detection of 50 additional novel endometrial histopathologies. The diagnosis accuracy of traditional hysteroscopy for AUB is boosted by chromo hysteroscopy, as a result.","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139336748","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 objective of jet-pump is achieved by three main parts: jet-nozzle, mixing chamber and diffuser. The jet-pump performance is governed by geometrical parameters that shape these parts. In this study, the most crucial geometrical parameters that influence performance are investigated by an experimental and numerical parametric study, these parameters are mixing chamber relative length ( ), motive nozzle relative spacing (S) and area ratio between the mixing chamber and the jet orifice ( ). Besides the parametric study, the experimental work also provides the necessary data used to validate the numerical approach, which is concluded using 2-D simulation with transition Shear-Stress Transport (SST) as a turbulence model after showing very good agreement with the experimental data. Eventually, numerical simulation is used to perform design optimization to specify the design that attains the optimum performance by Implementation the design of experiments (DOE).
