Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effects following radical cystectomy using two ultrasound guided QLB techniques: anterior and intramuscular.
Methods: Sixty patients aged 40-60 years old with ASA I, II were considered for this study. They were divided into two equal groups.
Background: We hypothesized that ultrasound-guided selective nerve root block could play a role in the prediction of clinical outcomes in patients with multilevel cervical disease following selective anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
Methods: Patients were randomized to receive ultrasound-guided selected nerve root block as a diagnostic tool (study group) or not (control group), but both groups had surgery. Pain evaluation for arm and neck pain was recorded.
Background: This study compared the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine to the same mixture in the caudal block in delivering postoperative analgesia in children after unilateral inguinal hernia surgery.
Methods: The current study included 80 children aged two to eight years who were scheduled for unilateral inguinal hernia surgery under general anesthesia. A caudal block (1 mL/kg 0.
Background: The study evaluated the analgesic effects of levobupivacaine infiltration in the tonsil bed, and a combination of levobupivacaine and dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing tonsillectomy.
Methods: Ninety children (ages 3 to 7 years) who were scheduled for a tonsillectomy were allocated randomly into two groups. (L Group: peritonsillar infiltration with 0.
Mucormycosis is a life-threatening opportunistic angioinvasive fungal infection. We aimed to describe the frequency, presentations, predictors, and in-hospital outcome of mucormycosis patients in the scope of CoronaVirusDisease-19 (COVID-19) during the third viral pandemic wave. This cross-sectional retrospective study included all patients who fulfilled the criteria of mucormycosis with concurrent confirmed covid19 infection admitted to Assuit University Hospital between March 2021 and July 2021.

Methods: Eighty patients were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 40).
Background: As COVID-19 has neither a standard treatment protocol nor guidelines, there are many treatment protocols for anti-inflammatory corticosteroids and anti-coagulations for severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients. This study aimed to assess the most suitable modality in this high-risk group.
Methods: A prospective, experimental study design was adopted that included 123 severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients admitted at Assiut University Hospital.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a worldwide severe medical and social burden. Liraglutide (LIR) has neuroprotective effects in preclinical animal models.
Aim: To explore the probable neuroprotective impact of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on rats' behavior and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Background: Effects of intraoperative recruitment maneuvers (RMs) on oxygenation and pulmonary compliance are lost during recovery if high inspired oxygen and airway suctioning are used. We investigated the effect of post-extubation noninvasive CPAP mask application on the alveolar arterial oxygen difference [(A-a) DO ] after pediatric laparoscopic surgery.
Methods: Sixty patients (1-6 years) were randomly allocated to three groups of 20 patients, to receive zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP group), RM with decremental PEEP titration only (RM group), or followed with post-extubation CPAP for 5 minutes (RM-CPAP group).
