Cardiovascular changes in dipper and nondipper hypertension in perimenopausal women: time-dependent effects of antihypertensivesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 37-42 - 2014
Wael Ragheb Refaie, Ehsan Refaie, Nagy Abd El Hady, Salah Tantawy, Ahmad Elewa
The lack of a decrease in nocturnal blood pressure to up to 10% of the daytime measure is termed as nondipper (ND) hypertension. It is a cardiovascular (CV) risk factor with increased CV morbidity and accelerated target organ damage especially in women. The beneficial effect of restoring the ND state by administering antihypertensives (chronotherapy) at bedtime rather than on awakening is still de...... hiện toàn bộ
Serum Golgi protein-73 in combination with α-fetoprotein for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma in Egyptian patientsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 29 - Trang 40-46 - 2017

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third cause of cancer-related mortality. α-fetoprotein (AFP) is not a highly sensitive marker for predicting HCC despite its high specificity. Serum Golgi protein-73 (sGP73) seems to be promising new marker. This study aimed at evaluating the role of sGP73 alone and in combination with AFP for diagnosing HCC. This study was conducted on 90 Egyptian patients wh...... hiện toàn bộ

Nehal H. El-Said, Noha A. Sedik, Nagwa A. Mohamed
Vaspin is a novel adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effects. However, it is not known whether a correlation exists between human vaspin serum levels and markers of insulin sensitivity and glucose or lipid metabolism. To determine whether there is an association between serum vaspin levels (a novel adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing effects), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and atherosclero...... hiện toàn bộ
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 gene polymorphism (-1562 C/T) and its correlation with diabetic nephropathySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 33 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
Kholoud Shalaby, Rania Bahriz, Nancy Mahsoub, Mohammed M. El-Arman, Ghada El-Said
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is an important inflammatory marker in diabetic nephropathy. Many studies assessed the association between MMP-9 gene polymorphism and different microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, though the results were inconclusive and need further exploration. Our study aimed to assess the association between MMP-9 -1562C/T gene polymorphism and diabetic ...... hiện toàn bộ

The spectrum of gastrointestinal (GI) issues in the older population varies from common physiological age-related changes to devastating, less common sinister pathological illness. GI system has direct exposure to external environment. Thus, it is modeled to embrace the pathophysiological changes that occur due to interaction with external factors. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) per se is more resil...... hiện toàn bộ
Endovascular management of bowel ischemia secondary to portal and mesenteric vein thrombosisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 75-77 - 2015

Portal and mesenteric venous thrombosis (PMVT) is an uncommon disease, but it is a clinically important case of acute mesenteric ischemia. Its diagnosis is often delayed because of nonspecific abdominal symptoms. The treatment of PMVT involves anticoagulation therapy, alone or in combination with surgery. The addition of thrombolytic therapy to the treatment of PVMT may enhance the clearance of th...... hiện toàn bộ
