Evaluation of serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP) and its correlation with fetal ultrasound parameters in the prediction of threatened miscarriage in the first trimester.

Background: Pregnancy loss occurring before 20 weeks gestation is referred to as miscarriage. Various clinical presentations of miscarriage include threatened, inevitable, incomplete, complete, septic, and missed miscarriage. Early-stage threatened miscarriage may manifest with symptoms such as abdominal discomfort and vaginal bleeding.

Designing of an Epitope-Based Vaccine Against Common Pathotypes.

() is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. While can stay as an innocuous resident in the digestive tract, it can cause a group of symptoms ranging from diarrhea to live threatening complications. Due to the increased rate of antibiotic resistance worldwide, the development of an effective vaccine against pathotypes is a major health priority.

Evaluation of Diaphragmatic Ultrasound Indices as Predictors of Successful Liberation From Mechanical Ventilation in Subjects With Abdominal Sepsis.

Background: Sepsis-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction is one of the main risk factors of failure to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation. Several studies addressed diaphragmatic ultrasound as a valuable tool in the assessment of diaphragmatic function during liberation from mechanical ventilation in different populations. However, none of these studies examined the use of diaphragmatic ultrasound to predict failure of liberation from mechanical ventilation in subjects with sepsis METHODS: A prospective observational study was done with subjects on mechanical ventilation and with abdominal sepsis.
