Biceps Pulley Lesions: Diagnostic Accuracy of Nonarthrographic Shoulder MRI and the Value of Various Diagnostic Signs.

Background: There is limited data in the literature regarding the role of nonarthrographic MRI for detecting biceps pulley (BP) lesions.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy of nonarthrographic MRI for detecting BP lesions, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of various MRI signs (superior glenohumeral ligament discontinuity/nonvisibility, long head of biceps (LHB) displacement sign or subluxation/dislocation, LHB tendinopathy, and supraspinatus and subscapularis tendon lesions) in detecting such lesions.

Study Type: Retrospective.

Prevalence, Predictors, and Outcomes of Resistant Hypertension in Egyptian Population.

Background: Hypertension is a leading problem; it affects around thirty million adult Egyptians, according to the last national registry. The exact prevalence of resistant hypertension (RH) in Egypt wasn't spotted before. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, predictors, and impact on adverse cardiovascular outcomes among adult Egyptians with RH.

The Value of Intermittent Fasting and Low Carbohydrate Diet in Prediabetic Patients for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases.

Background: Prediabetic patients are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and the development of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Intermittent fasting (IF) and low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) are promising dietary plans.

Objectives: Our aims to analyze the benefits of IF combined with LCD on microvascular and macrovascular outcomes in prediabetic patients.

Adrenomedullin Mitigates Doxorubicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats: Role of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Pyroptosis.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anticancer antibiotic which has various effects in human cancers. It is one of the commonly known causes of drug-induced nephrotoxicity, which results in acute renal injury. Adrenomedullin (ADM), a vasodilator peptide, is widely distributed in many tissues and has potent protective effects.
