Background: Worldwide attention for paediatric burns that affect long-term functionality and quality of life. Potential evidence regarding virtual reality (VR) systems have also been researched and demonstrated some promise in managing pain and promoting functional activities. In addition, well-known support systems and multimodal therapy techniques may lessen general anxiety, which in turn may lessen the perception of pain during the healing process. Purpose: ...

Biochemistry 

Background: The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulates vasomotor activity, piloerection, and sweating.？ So, thoracoscopic sympathectomy can be utilized to treat upper extremity vascular insufficiency caused by artery blockage when revascularization is not an option due to the obstructions' distant placement. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the results of revascularization after thoracoscopic sympathectomy in distal upper limb ischemia due to peripher...

Biochemistry 

Background: Headache isone of the most prevalent conditions in the world, headaches can cause significant impairment in every day activity. Common headache conditions including migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cervicogenic headache (CGH) have a detrimental effect on one's quality of life (QOL), ability to function at work, and family life. As a result, they can directly or indirectly burden society financially.
Objective: This study aimed to inve...

Biochemistry 

Background: The hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is the inflammatory cells infiltration into hyperplastic synovial tissue that leads to the eventual degeneration of bone and articular cartilage. The first traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic medication, methotrexate (MTX), is linked to immune responses and may reduce articular damage in RA. Effective half- of therapeutic dose of MTX is essential due to its numerous undesirable side effects. Aim and methods...

Biochemistry 

Background: Ferroptosis which is a unique type of regulated cell death, has been featured as an urgent mechanism in development and progression of cancer, especially regarding the resistance to chemotherapy. Subjects and methods: This retrospective study involved immunohistochemical analysis of SLC7A11, ACSL4, HNRNPA2B1, and YTHDF1 expression in 95 cases of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, all had been treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Res...

Biochemistry 

Background: Children with disabilities caused by any disease or trauma are considered a major medical problem and catastrophe for families, requiring much more special care and additional financial support.？ Objective: This study aimed to shed light on the major medical problem of the large and increasing number of children with disabilities in Gaza caused by the current genocidal war.？ Methods: We applied a wide search in PubMed, Scopus, Rese...

Biochemistry 

Background: Cerebral vasculitis is an infrequent feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Less than 10% of post-mortem investigations show it. Aim of the work: This study aimed to investigate the clinically manifested central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis, in relation to the clinical, laboratory, neuroimaging characteristics, as well as disease activity in SLE patients. Patients and methods: The medical records of SLE patients attendin...

Biochemistry 

Background: Foreign bodies of different routes of entry (ingestion, inhalation and penetration) are a common complaint in different age groups, especially children and mentally affected patients. Diagnosis depends on history, clinical examination and imaging. Imaging of different modalities are the main tools of diagnosis according to the route of entry and nature of the foreign body. The fate of the cases is related to many factors such as route of entry, site of lodgment, natu...

Biochemistry 

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells. Despite advancements in treatment, the management of MM remains challenging due to varying bone marrow involvement, Extramedullary disease (EMD), and the need for standardized imaging evaluation. Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the progn...

Biochemistry 

Background: Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with aortic pathologies presenting unique challenges in surgical management. Objective: To evaluate the effect of timing of chest drain removal on postoperative results in aortic surgery. Patients and methods:...
