Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease that is rapidly increasing worldwide.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders and up to 80% of people with OSA remain undiagnosed and yet the present data suggest that medical graduates underreport OSA and is usuall...
Screening for esophageal varices (EVs) is recommended in patients with cirrhosis. Recent studies have focused on noninvasive prediction of EVs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of liver stiffn...
Zinc deficiency in patients with liver cirrhosis has been frequently studied. Although spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is one of the most serious complications of liver cirrhosis, few studies addressed...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the commonest tumors and considered the fifth most common malignant neoplasm and a major cause of death. Egypt has increased incidence of HCC cases, as Egypt has the hi...
Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are consequences of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. HCC is one of the fastest rising causes of cancer-related mortality. This dismal prognosis is r...
Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease with an increased risk of fracture.
Obesity among children and adolescents is considered as one of the most serious public health concerns; low levels of testosterone have been associated with higher levels of morbidity and may have been associa...
Salivary testosterone (Sal-T) has been established as a noninvasive biomarker in the diagnosis of androgen deficiency in men. However, available data on its utility in adolescent boys with constitutional delay...
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is the most common autoimmune thyroid disease. The actual mechanism by which the immunological factors lead to HT has remained obscure. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)...
Stevia is a naturally occurring non-nutritive sweetener that has been reported as sugar substitutes for diabetic patients. We aimed to assess the impact of stevia supplementation on glycemic control in patient...
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease. Cytokines play a crucial role in modulating immune responses that affect the balance between maintenance of self-tolerance and initiation o...
The prevalence of diabetes is highest in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, with Egypt leading the region (11% for both sexes) and lowest in the European Region (7% for both sexes). Genome-wide association stud...
The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (N/L) ratio is a biomarker of inflammation. We aimed to test the hypothesis that macrovascular and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) involve an inflammat...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as autoimmune diseases arise owing to failure of immunological self-tolerance. One of the mechanisms employed to control these potentially damag...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) including hemodialysis (HD) is considered an inflammatory state leading to hepcidin upregulation, which affects iron homeostasis.
Plasma glucose variability may confer a risk for development of chronic diabetic complications. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects average glucose level but not glucose variability, which is measured by ...
Patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) are at increased risk of renal disease. This study compares factors associated with proteinuria and doubling of serum creatinine level ...
One of the most common complications of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is renal injury. The aim of the study was to detect the frequency of AKI as a problem in end stage liver disease patients with SB...
The liver distortion that occurs in cirrhosis results in increased resistance to portal blood flow and hence in portal hypertension which is one of the most common and serious complications of liver cirrhosis....
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health problem in Egypt. It is often complicated by liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, resulting in gastroesophageal varices, gastropathy, and colopathy. Howe...
Neuropsychiatric complications that develop after living donor liver transplantation (LT) are frequently encountered, though not adequately estimated among Egyptian recipients. We aimed to estimate the frequen...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the commonest primary liver neoplasm that usually develop in the background of cirrhosis. Hepatitis C virus is endemic in Egypt and is the major cause of cirrhosis. Studying t...
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a serious infection of ascitic fluid in cirrhotic patients. High mortality associated with the delay in diagnosis and treatment. There is a need for an accurate and a...
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) may impair driving performance and adversely disturbs quality of life. Most drivers with chronic liver disease are not routinely screened for MHE and stay untreated due to ...
Lead is a toxic heavy metal with hematotoxic, neurotoxic, and nephrotoxic effects even at low concentration. Presence of heavy metals like lead in the blood and blood products while donating blood can cause ad...
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a novel marker of tissue ischemia and oxidative stress.
Irisin is a newly discovered myokin secreted by myocytes responsible for transmission of signals from muscles to other body tissues. Irisin improves systemic metabolism by increasing the energy expenditure. Ow...
Genetic-based studies are being carried out worldwide to identify the susceptibility genes for diabetic nephropathy (DN), which represents a major health problem in all diabetics.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease. Microalbuminuria is the most popular method for detecting the early signs of DN. However, pathological changes occur before the on...
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by multisystem affection that could involve the gastrointestinal tract in the form of gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) that might cause iron-defi...
Round pneumonia, a benign cause of spherical lesions seen on chest imaging, can many a times be difficult to distinguish from bronchogenic carcinomas. Although relatively less common in adults, this entity is ...
Dengue is known for its nonspecific onset and frequently can rapidly deteriorate into a range of feared systemic complications including hemorrhagic fever and shock syndromes. However, vocal cord hematomas ass...
Diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction are two endocrine disorders that can affect each other, and the effects of which are poorly understood until now. Association between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) ...

Iontophoresis had been widely used as a therapeutic option in the field of dermatology and physiotherapy. In vascular medicine, vasodilating response to acetylcholine (ACh) iontophoresis had been also previous...
Fetuin-A is a hepatic secretory protein that binds to insulin receptors and inhibits insulin resistance (IR) kinase activity as well as IR autophosphorylation in vivo and in vitro.
Cardiac dysfunction is a prevalent finding in patients with liver cirrhosis. We aimed to evaluate left ventricular function by tissue Doppler imaging in patients with liver cirrhosis.
It is generally assumed that systematic fasting is obligatory in the context of acute variceal bleeding owing to the fear of increasing the risk of rebleeding if patients instituted feeding early after endosco...
