Background And Aims: Pancreatic endotherapy (PET) offers a treatment option for complications of chronic pancreatitis (CP) such as pancreatic duct (PD) strictures, stones, and pseudocysts. As prior studies have primarily focused on how PET affects pain, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PET on quality of life.
Methods: This single-center prospective study assessed quality of life before the initiation of endotherapy utilizing a validated CP-specific quality of life instrument (PANQOLI).
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses the importance of worldwide vaccine coverage of coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) vaccination. This study fills a critical gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and inequity in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This study investigated the determinants of psychological antecedents and other factors behind COVID-19 vaccination and their role in vaccine coverage in MENA.

- - The study investigated the prevalence of imposter syndrome among nursing students in Egypt and its links to mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of 1,572 students.
- - Findings revealed that a significant number of students experienced various levels of depression (25%), anxiety (22.6%), and stress (13.3%), with 46.3% also suffering from moderate imposter syndrome; notably, imposter syndrome was positively correlated with poorer mental health outcomes.
