Histopathological perspective of the pulled-through colon in Hirschsprung disease: Impact on clinical outcome.

Background: The outcome in HD has not been always satisfactory even after a technically sound operation.

Purpose: To define the characteristic histopathological features of the pulled-through colon in patients with HD, and it is impact on clinical outcome.

Patients And Methods: The study included patients with HD who underwent surgical repair between 2010 through 2016.

Vitamin D receptor gene methylation in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Worldwide, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major subtype of primary liver cancers. HCC is typically diagnosed late in its course. With respect to cancer, the genomic actions of vitamin D are mediated through binding to the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR), which allows it to modulate the expression of genes in a cell-and tissue-specific manner.

Comparison between phenol red chromo-endoscopy and a stool rapid immunoassay for the diagnosis of in patients with gastritis.

infection is a widespread problem all over the world. Non-invasive techniques are demanded for rapid diagnosis and treatment follow up. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of phenol red chromo-endoscopy and stool (Rapid Strip HpSA) for detection with reference to histopathology as the gold standard.

Bcl-2 may play a role in the progression of endometrial hyperplasia and early carcinogenesis, but not linked to further tumorigenesis.

The role of Bcl-2 in initiation and progression of endometrial carcinoma is still with inconsistent results. The aim of this study is to determine the role of Bcl-2 in endometrial tumorigenesis. It is a retrospective cross sectional study.

Placenta accreta is associated with decreased decidual natural killer (dNK) cells population: a comparative pilot study.

Objective: Placenta accreta is a general term describes abnormal adherent placenta to the uterine wall. When the chorionic villi invade the myometrium, the term placenta increta is appropriate. Nowadays, it is one of the increasing causes of materno-fetal morbidities and mortality.

Histological patterns of idiopathic steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome in Egyptian children: A single centre study.

Background: Idiopathic steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (ISRNS) represents about 10-20% of children with nephrotic syndrome with variable outcome.

Objectives: To determine the histological patterns of ISRNS in Egyptian children and the histological details of the commonest types which might be the reason for the steroid resistance.

Patients And Methods: The study included 53 cases with ISRNS.
