Computed tomography benefits and cost in hemodynamically stable patients with blunt abdominal trauma at an Egyptian University Hospital.

Background: Trauma is a significant cause of mortality, especially among individuals aged between 15 and 44 years, with a substantial burden falling on economically active populations. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear the burden of trauma-related deaths, accounting for over 90 % globally. In Egypt, trauma rates are increasing, primarily due to road traffic crashes (RTC), affecting males disproportionately.

Relationship between Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activity of Some Moroccan Date Palm Fruit Varieties ( L.): A Two-Year Study.

In Morocco, the abundance of low-value varieties in the oases may provide an opportunity to capitalize on this richness to create new nutraceutical food products. In this context, the phenolic profile and antioxidant capacity of four Moroccan date varieties were analyzed. Our results indicate that the levels of total polyphenols, total flavonoids and total condensed tannins vary, respectively, from 91.

Combination of Focused Assessment With Sonography for Trauma (FAST) Scan and Detection of Hematuria to Exclude Intra-abdominal Injuries Following Blunt Abdominal Trauma.

Background Blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) is the most common pattern of abdominal traumas. It may be associated with intra-abdominal injuries (IAIs). Exploratory laparotomies are only needed in a minority of patients after BAT.

Egypt's Initial Experience With Robotic-Assisted Cystogastrostomy and Pancreatic Debridement for Large Walled-Off Pancreatic Necrosis: A Report of Two Cases.

Gallstones are the most common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is one of the sequelae of AP. Endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques for cystogastrostomy have been reported in the literature as treatment options for complicated or symptomatic WOPN.

Date seeds (Phoenix Dactylifera L.) valorization: chemical composition of lipid fraction.

This research was aimed to study the lipid fraction of date seeds. Seventeen seeds of date palm varieties and clones were evaluated and assessed for their chemical components and for the properties of the date pits oil. Gas liquid chromatography showed that the main unsaturated fatty acid was oleic acid (46.
