Background: After its emergence in China, the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has swept the world, leading to global health crises with millions of deaths. COVID-19 clinical manifestations differ in severity, ranging from mild symptoms to severe disease. Although perturbation of metabolism has been reported as a part of the host response to COVID-19 infection, scarce data exist that describe stage-specific changes in host metabolites during the infection and how this could stratify patients based on severity.

Article Synopsis
  • The hepatitis C virus (HCV) presents a global health issue, particularly in Egypt where genotype 4a predominates; over 50% of patients exhibit extrahepatic manifestations (EHMs) such as mixed cryoglobulinemia, which can be initial indicators of the infection.
  • The study focused on 450 treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients to assess the relationship between T-cell subpopulations and cryoglobulinemia occurrence, categorizing them based on cryoglobulin antibody tests.
  • Findings revealed significant differences between groups: patients with cryoglobulin antibodies (Group B) were generally older, had longer HCV infection durations, and exhibited different lab result patterns compared to those without antibodies (Group A).

Unlabelled: Several precipitating factors of hepatic encephalopathy have been recognized and studied. Hepatic encephalopathy which is a frequent and grave complication of liver failure, is associated with multiple biochemical changes like high serum ammonia, mercaptan and phenol levels, low albumin levels and derangements in electrolytes. It is characterized by a range of neuronal and psychological aberrations mainly due to the inability of liver to metabolize different neurotoxic chemicals produced in the body.

Background And Aim: Genetic factors play a significant role in the onset and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). may contribute to the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by affecting blood glucose levels and oxidative stress. The expression levels of were significantly higher in patients with unstable angina pectoris.
