Clinical and radiological characteristics of Covid-19 patients with acute cerebrovascular vents: A meta-analysis

The Information on the 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) in Egypt's severe cerebrovascular consequences is scant. In cases of acute cerebrovascular disease (CVD), this study aimed to examine the radiological and clinical characteristics of patients with and without COVID-19. Prospective research evaluated CVD patients with and without COVID-19 who were hospitalized at Qena University Hospital (QUH) before the global epidemic. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and able to be treated at either assist or Aswan University Hospitals (AAUH) for cardiovascular disease were compared. The data included patient demographics, medical history, risk factors, clinical presentation, comorbidities, and imaging results from CT and MRI scans of the chest and brain. In overall 439 individuals with COVID-19, 55 (12.5%) experienced acute CVD. Of these, 13 patients (2.9%) experienced hemorrhagic CVD, whereas 42 (9.6%) suffered an ischemic stroke. 180 of the 250 non-COVID-19 individuals suffered from ischemic stroke, and 70 from hemorrhagic stroke. Many COVID-19 patients had large vascular occlusions (LVO), which is a significant portion of individuals who had ischemic stroke symptoms (40 vs. 7.2%, P <0.001) and was considerably more reciprocal than in CVD patients who were not COVID-19. Comorbidities were noted in 44 instances (80% of the total). Sufferers of ischemic stroke who had COVID-19 were much more likely to have dangerous elements such as hypertension and Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) as well as concomitant conditions like hepatitis and kidney disease. Additionally, 6.5% of individuals with LVO had a hemorrhagic transition, and 23.5% had hemorrhagic CVD. In our research, individuals with COVID-19 often had severe CVD. The most typical LVO was. The most frequent risk factors, such as hypertension, IHD, and anemia, may make the clinical presentation worse. Patients with CVD often had comorbid conditions, but many also had high liver enzymes and creatinine levels that were partly brought on by the COVID-19 disease itself. The new findings start to describe the range of CVD linked to COVID-19 in patients from Upper Egypt.

Single-session endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) vs. Two-stage Endoscopic Stone Extraction during ERCP followed by LC: a multicenter experience

Background The best way to handle gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones that are present simultaneously is up for dispute. The combination of endoscopic ERCP stone extraction and laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been the standard of care since the development of endoscopic and laparoscopic methods. Objective The current study aimed to evaluate single-stage ERCP/laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and two-stage ERCP/LC in terms of imaging frequency, length of anesthesia, mean operating time, length of stay, and expenditures. Patients and methods Between June 2020 and January 2023, this multicenter retrospective comparative analysis was carried out in Qena University Hospitals, South Valley University, Qena and Assiut University Hospitals, Assiut University, Assiut. Results This research covered 220 participants. At ERCP, all patients had their bile ducts cleared. Regarding baseline variables such as age, sex, abdominal pain, preoperative liver function test, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase level, there is no difference between the two groups. The length of hospital stay varies significantly. Conclusion When compared with two separate procedures, single-session ERCP/LC has been safely and successfully utilized in some circumstances and is related to a shorter hospital stay, a reduced frequency of imaging, and better patient satisfaction.

Alteration of T-cell and monocyte subsets in patients with immune thrombocytopenia: glucocorticoids versus immunosuppressant drugs

Abstract Background Several therapy approaches are currently in use, each focusing on a different element of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) pathogenesis. Human T-lymphocytes and monocytes are heterogeneous and play an important role in autoimmune diseases. However, the distribution and function of mononuclear cells remain unclear in ITP after therapy. Aim To evaluate the effect of glucocorticoid hormones and other immunosuppressant drugs in patients with ITP on lymphocyte and monocyte subsets and correlate changes between drug responders and nonresponders. Patients and methods A randomized cross-sectional case–control study was conducted on 130 participants, who were divided into two groups: 50 patients with ITP and 80 healthy controls. The patients were randomly treated with either steroids, azathioprine, or revolade in the Department of Internal Medicine of Qena University Hospital between April 2021 and April 2022. The research was conducted at the Department of Clinical Pathology of Qena University Hospital. Results Treatment with steroids, azathioprine, or revolade showed increased CD3-expressing cells and improved platelets and platelet/lymphocyte ratios. Steroid therapy also increased hemoglobin levels, leukocyte numbers, neutrophil counts, monocyte counts, and monocyte–lymphocyte ratios. Leukocyte count was increased by azathioprine treatment, whereas leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte/lymphocyte counts were increased by revolade treatment. Azithromycin and revolade therapy decreased CD14 count and increased CD16 fraction. Azithromycin treatment increased CD4 cells, whereas steroid treatment boosted CD8 cells. Additionally, in comparison with controls, patients had considerably less classical monocytes. However, patients had significantly more nonclassical monocytes and intermediate than controls did. Nonclassical and intermediate monocytes showed a significant reduction. Treatment responders were much older than nonresponders. The hazard ratio of monocyte/lymphocyte ratio was 0.002 (95% confidence interval: 0–0.55) and for neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio was 1.82 (95% confidence interval: 1.04–3.16), with P values of 0.04 and 0.03, respectively. Conclusion The modification of monocytes and lymphocytes in ITP following treatment can provide insight into the significance of these cells and the likelihood of using it to monitor patients while they are receiving treatment.

Relation between vitamin D deficiency and recurrent acute diarrhea in children under the age of five years in Qena university hospitals

Worldwide, children have a very high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. Epidemiological evidence connects vitamin D deficiency to immune system dysfunction and an elevated risk of infections. For the therapy of acute diarrhea in children, it may be useful to know how vitamin D deficiency affects the severity of the condition.
