This study aimed to formulate and optimize an anti-acne drug namely tazarotene (TZR) in essential oil-based microemulsion (ME) using either Jasmine oil (Jas) or Jojoba oil (Joj). TZR-MEs were prepared using two experimental designs (Simplex Lattice Design®) and characterized for droplet size, polydispersity index, and viscosity. Further , and investigations were performed for the selected formulations.

Objective: to evaluate the effect of using ALA as an adjuvant therapy with PRF for treatment of chronic lumbosacral radicular pain caused by herniated disc.
Methods: One hundred twenty patients with lumbo-sacral radicular pain allocated into 2 groups.
Background And Objective: can cause different nosocomial infections, especially urinary tract infection (UTI). Pathogenicity of is driven by various virulence factors; however, no specific genetic pattern is restricted to a particular type of infection. The current study aimed to investigate the correlation between different virulence factors in clinical isolates causing UTIs.

We evaluated the effect of adding pulsed radiofrequency to radiofrequency thermocoagulation at 60°C compared to radiofrequency thermocoagulation at 70°C alone in the treatment of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression.
Methods: 40 patients with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression were randomly divided into two equal groups.
Background And Objective: Emergence agitation is a postoperative negative behavior that affects mainly children. We studied the effect of two different doses of dexmedetomidine on the incidence and degree of EA in children undergoing strabismus surgery.
Methods: 90 patients were allocated into three equal groups; patients received 0.
Background: Between 25 and 40% of extubated patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the intensive care unit at our hospital (Assiut University Hospital-Assiut-Egypt) require reintubation. This reflects the importance of developing better criteria for predicting successful extubation in TBI. We evaluated the accuracy of semi-quantitative cough strength score (SCSS) and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) in predicting extubation outcomes in TBI.

However, subclinical mastitis (SCM) negatively affects milk quality and quantity and associated with economic losses as clinical mastitis. It is recognizable only by additional testing.

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 lambs were divided into five groups. Lambs were immunized with larval and recombinant (rHcp26/23) proteins at day 0 and day 14 and after that challenged with 5000 infective larvae of on day 42.
