Improved Compliance of Pediatrics High Blood Pressure Guidelines in Well-Child Clinic Visits.

Unlabelled: Childhood hypertension can lead to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in young adult life. We aim to improve compliance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended blood pressure (BP) guideline steps to 75% over 12 months in children 9 to 18 years old during well-child visits.

Methods: The providers were educated on American Academy of Pediatrics high BP clinical practice guidelines.

Identification of functional tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter variants associated with infection in the Sudanese population: Computational approach.

Background: () is a ubiquitous bacterium that affects nearly half of the world's population with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Polymorphisms within the tumor necrosis factor-alpha () promoter region are considered a possible genetic basis for this disease.

Aim: To functionally characterize the genetic variations in the 5'-region (-584 to +107) of Sudanese patients infected with using in silico tools.

Duodenal ulcer in the Sudan. Clinical features and treatment with H2 blockers.

In a prospective study, 168 Sudanese patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer were studied. The mean age was 36 (SD 3) years and the male:female ratio was 3:1. Most of the patients belonged to the lower social class (class 3) and the chief presenting features were long standing epigastric pain (72.

Diagnosis of pathologically confirmed Symmers' periportal fibrosis by ultrasonography: a prospective blinded study.

Symmers' periportal fibrosis of the liver is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Schistosoma mansoni infection. The diagnosis is best established definitively by a wedge biopsy of the liver. The ability of abdominal ultrasonography to diagnose this condition was prospectively compared with two independent pathological examinations of wedge biopsies of the liver.

Propranolol disposition in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis.

Eight Sudanese patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis and seven Sudanese controls were administered a single oral dose of long acting (LA), propranolol 160 mg; blood propranolol levels were measured at regular intervals for 12 h using g.l.c.
