Background: Despite a well-known dose-dependent association between the risk of cardiac dysfunction and anthracycline, the risk of cardiac dysfunction for any given anthracycline dose varies between patients. So, we assessed CELF4 (rs1786814) gene polymorphism on anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors (CCS).

Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study included 53 CCS who had regular follow-up visits at the Pediatric Oncology Unit, Menoufia University Hospital.

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition leading to hand pain and numbness, and its severity may be affected by stress and coping strategies.
  • The study investigated how different coping strategies—adaptive (positive) and maladaptive (negative)—influence the impact of perceived stress on CTS symptoms and functionality in 215 patients from three hospitals in Egypt.
  • Findings indicated that adaptive coping positively moderates the effects of perceived stress on symptom severity and functional status, highlighting the importance of coping strategies in managing CTS.

Magnetic resonance anatomy of the hindfoot as seen at the level of the sustentaculum tali is intricate due to surrounding muscles, tendons, aponeurosis and ligaments. The objective of this work is to provide a mnemonic with illustrative figures to simplify this complex anatomical region on coronal T1-weighted MR images (T1-MRIs). One hundred and twenty-four patients referred for foot and ankle complaints were scanned utilizing standard MRI imaging protocols for depiction of the hindfoot.

Clinical Relevance: High-viscosity glass-ionomer cements (HVGICs) used with atraumatic restorative treatment can be repaired with light- or self-cured adhesive systems; however, the repair bond strength of two-step, self-etching and one-step adhesives in the light-cure mode surpass one-step self-cure adhesives. Working on a feasible self-cure approach in the absence of such in rural areas as well as in war zones is of prime importance.
