Hypo-Albuminemia and Perioperative Renal Transplant-Related Infections: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: to review the literature regarding the relationship between pre- and post-transplant hypo-Albuminemia with various renal transplant-related infections.

Materials And Methods: In a systematic review, we included the following keywords in the search: (Albumin*) AND (infection*) AND ("renal transplant" OR "renal transplantation" OR "renal transplants") OR ("kidney transplant" OR "kidney transplantation" OR "kidney transplants") OR "kidney grafting") with investigating databases including ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to May 2023. All adult patients who had renal transplantation were included.

Curcumin effects on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common disease of the lungs known as the third reason for death worldwide. Frequent COPD exacerbations compel health care workers to apply interventions that are not adverse effect free. Accordingly, adding or replacing Curcumin, a natural meal flavoring, may indicate advantages in this era by its antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects.

The effect of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes on the prostate, bladder, and renal cancer cell lines.

We aimed to explain the role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exosomes) on gene expressions of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Four different cell lines were employed, including ACHN, 5637, LNCaP, and PC3, as well-known representatives for renal, bladder, hormone-sensitive, and hormone-refractory prostate cancers, respectively. Cell lines were exposed to diverse concentrations of mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes to find IC50 values.

Sexuality Transmitted Infection in the COVID-19 Pandemic and Non-Pandemic Time.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the SARS-CoV-2 infection as a pandemic. The pandemic itself in addition to its containment measures affects individuals' lifestyles and welfare including their sexual behaviors. Thus, we hypothesized that sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence may be changed and so we evaluate urethritis incidence as the most common STI in men and some other related factors.

COVID-19: National Pandemic Management Strategies and their Efficacies and Impacts on the Number of Secondary Cases and Prognosis: A Systematic Review.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for an acute respiratory disease designated COIVD-19, which has spread throughout the world. Despite all the struggles with this virus, still, the majority of societies are affected by COVID-19, which raises many questions such as are these ways of management enough, which is crucial in order to contain the virus spread, and which is not effective. In this systemic review, we tried to summarize the data on different ways of managing COVID-19 outbreaks.

Evaluation of a novel SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigenic test diagnostic value in respiratory samples; is the reported test accuracy similar to values in the real-world? A cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Although reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay was introduced as the gold standard to detect SARS-CoV-2, the method was known to be time-consuming besides the requirement for an equipped laboratory. This survey aims to investigate a novel SARS-CoV-2 antigen test as a diagnostic tool in COVID-19 patients to overcome these limitations in addition to evaluating COVID-19 population characteristics.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out during the first semester of 2021, and about 1070 nasopharyngeal samples were collected to compare the E-Health Barakat Company SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid test results with RT-PCR reports as the reference method.

The importance of personalized medicine in urological cancers.

A better understanding of key regulatory pathways involved in cancers has led to the development of molecularly targeted therapies. Molecular profiling based on genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in tumors provides clinicians with the necessary information to maintain a personalized therapeutic regimen according to the patient's needs. for example, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer is one of the earliest forms of targeted therapy and has remained a choice of treatment by physicians.
