Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB) in diagnosing solid lesions, particularly focusing on histological core sample adequacy.
- Conducted across 16 medical centers in Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco, the study involved over 1000 patients and revealed that a significant majority of biopsied samples were adequate for histological evaluation, demonstrating a high diagnostic yield.
- Results indicated that FNB needles performed best in terms of sensitivity and sample quality, highlighting the potential of MOSE as a valuable alternative to traditional rapid on-site evaluation methods.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the reliability and effectiveness of the Swimmer Arm-to-Shoulder (SAS) test to differentiate between shoulder impingement and cervical radiculopathy in patients with shoulder pain lasting up to 12 weeks.
- In a sample of 718 patients, the SAS test showed high accuracy, with a sensitivity of 89.2% and specificity of 96.1%, effectively identifying the underlying causes of shoulder pain.
- The results concluded that the SAS test is a simple, dependable tool for both screening and confirming diagnoses related to shoulder and cervical spine conditions.
Pigeon paramyxovirus serotype 1 (PPMV-1), an antigenic and host variant of avian paramyxovirus Newcastle disease virus (NDV), primarily originating from racing pigeons, has become a global panzootic. Egypt uses both inactivated PPMV-1 and conventional NDV vaccines to protect pigeons from disease and mortality. However, the impact of prevalent strains and the effectiveness of available vaccines in pigeons in Egypt are unclear.

This innovation remarkably yields a reduction in limit of detection (LOD), over 5-fold, as compared to single-core systems. This reduces the required test time thus highlighting the potential of MDNM in advancing nucleic acid detection.
