Comparison of the Efficacy of Two-Week Vonoprazan Versus Lansoprazole-Based Quadruple Sequential Antibiotic Therapy in Eradicating Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Non-randomized Clinical Trial.

The prevalence of is escalating in developing countries, exacerbated by unjustified antibiotic usage, which leads to increased resistance. This trend has been notably amplified since the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the effectiveness of existing eradication regimens has been compromised.

Design and Development of Inexpensive Paper-Based Chemosensors for Detection of Divalent Copper.

Simple, portable, and low-cost paper-based sensors are alternative devices that have the potential to replace high-cost sensing technologies. The compatibility of the paper base biosensors for both chemical and biochemical accentuates its feasibility for application in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food quality monitoring. High concentration of copper in blood serum and urine is associated with diseases like liver diseases, carcinomas, acute and chronic infections, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Recurrent Liver Abscess in a Non-toxic Patient.

Liver abscesses range in presentation from asymptomatic infection to sepsis. Recurrence is rare. We describe a case of an asymptomatic liver abscess that recurred 10 years after a previous abscess.

Development of a Conceptual Model of the Patient Experience in Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Qualitative Interview Study.

Introduction: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a subtype of lung cancer, the second most common cancer diagnosis worldwide. Currently, there is little published qualitative research that provides insight into the disease-related symptoms and impacts that are relevant to patients living with SCLC as directly reported by patients themselves.

Methods: This qualitative, cross-sectional, noninterventional, descriptive study included concept elicitation interviews with participants diagnosed with SCLC and the development of a conceptual model of clinical treatment benefit.

Pathological responses and survival outcomes in patients with locally advanced breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a single-institute experience.

Background: Pathological complete response (pCR) is a surrogate for the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). We analyzed the predictive clinical factors for pathological responses and survival outcomes in a cohort of Egyptian patients.

Methods: We evaluated the medical records of patients with breast cancer who received NCT in our academic institute.
