Effects of renal denervation on kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes following renal denervation (RDN) for hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Prospective studies published between January 1, 2010 and November 15, 2022 where systematically identified for RDN outcomes on office and ambulatory blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), creatinine and procedural characteristics from three online databases (Medline, PubMed, EMBASE). Random effects model to combine risk ratios and mean differences was used.

Assessing of policies and practices for occupational exposure to blood-borne viral infections in Tanta University Hospitals, Egypt.

One of the best ways to investigate and improve the effectiveness of polices for prevention and control of infections is through systematic and rigorous evaluation of the structural, functional, and practical elements of these polices. To assess the policies for managing occupational exposure to blood-borne viral infections in Tanta University Hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was carried out.

Serum S100A12 and temporomandibular joint magnetic resonance imaging in juvenile idiopathic arthritis Egyptian patients: a case control study.

This study aimed to measure serum levels of the proinflammatory protein S100A12, investigate clinical as well as contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging findings of temporomandibular joint inflammation among juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients and to find out the correlation between each of them, moreover with different disease parameters as temporomandibular joint inflammation may occur without clinical manifestations; it is in need for thorough evaluation and S100A12 may be a future anti-inflammatory treatment in JIA. Twenty patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and 10 healthy control subjects underwent measurement of S100A12 serum concentrations by sandwich ELISA. Temporomandibular Joints (TMJs); clinical and post contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examinations were performed.
