Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has led to high morbidity and mortality rates globally, prompting the use of vaccines as a primary control measure, although concerns about safety and adverse events (AEs) have arisen.
- A study conducted in six Arabic countries involved 1,564 participants and surveyed vaccination history, types of vaccines, and AEs using a validated questionnaire.
- The results showed that local AEs were the most common after vaccination, with factors such as age and gender influencing the likelihood of experiencing AEs, while a previous SARS-CoV-2 infection increased the risk of post-vaccination COVID-19.
Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome represents a wide range of ongoing symptoms that persist beyond weeks or even months, after recovery from the acute phase. Postural orthostatic tachycardia (POT) is one of these symptoms with a poorly recognized underlying pathophysiology.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD), demonstrated by electrocardiographic P wave dispersion (PWD) and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) in patients with POST-COVID-19 POT (PCPOT).
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted in April 2020 at El-Madinah El-Monawarah General Hospital, the research included 179 confirmed COVID-19 cases, revealing that the majority were males aged 30-45, with many exhibiting severe symptoms or being asymptomatic.
- * Findings indicated that NLR was a significant predictor of disease outcomes, correlating with severity and ICU admission, while the initial PCR viral load had less impact on recovery duration and health status.
Unlabelled: Both admission Blood glucose and previous glycemic state may affect critically ill patients; So Glycemic gap may be a good indicator of ICU outcomes. This study investigated the effect of glycemic gap on short term outcome in critically ill patient and the value of incorporation of the Glycemic Gap into the APACHE-II on its discriminative performance.
Subjects And Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in medical ICU of Zagazig University Hospitals, March 2018 to September 2018; total numbers of 240 critically ill patients admitted to ICU were enrolled in.
Diabetes is an independent risk factor for stroke disease. Fasting during Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from eating, drinking, taking oral medications, and smoking from the exact time of dawn until time of sunset; in this study we investigated if there is impact of Ramadan Fasting on incidence of Cerebrovascular stroke among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This cross sectional study was conducted in medical ICU of Zagazig University Hospitals, in months of Sha'ban, Ramadan and Shawwal, in 1436; total numbers of 220 patients diagnosed as cerebrovascular stroke were enrolled in.

This study investigated the effects of CTRP3 levels in obese and normal body weight young adults on insulin resistance and occurrence of diabetes mellitus.
Subjects And Methods: In this case control study, Serum levels of CTRP3, HbA1c, Lipid profile, glucose and insulin levels were determined in 75 obese and 68 normal body weight individuals.
