Norepinephrine titration in patients with sepsis-induced encephalopathy: cerebral pulsatility index compared to mean arterial pressure guided protocol: randomized controlled trial.

Background: Although surviving sepsis campaign (SSC) guidelines are the standard for sepsis and septic shock management, outcomes are still unfavourable. Given that perfusion pressure in sepsis is heterogeneous among patients and within the same patient; we evaluated the impact of individualized hemodynamic management via the transcranial Doppler (TCD) pulsatility index (PI) on mortality and outcomes among sepsis-induced encephalopathy (SIE) patients.

Methods: In this prospective, single-center randomized controlled study, 112 patients with SIE were randomly assigned.

Clinical study evaluating the efficacy of ivermectin in COVID-19 treatment: A randomized controlled study.

Researchers around the world are working at record speed to find the best ways to treat and prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin for the treatment of hospitalized mild to moderate COVID-19 infected patients. This was a randomized open-label controlled study that included 164 patients with COVID-19.

Tanta Protocol for Management of COVID-19: Perspectives from a Developing Country.

In late 2019, SARS-COV-2 disease was firstly discovered in Wuhan, China and then it infected millions of people worldwide. Later, the World Health Organization (WHO) described COVID-19 as the first pandemic invading the world in the 21st century. The WHO has declared that the emerging infection will last long enough to force adjustments not only in people's lifestyles but also in the health care system.

RETRACTED: Hydroxychloroquine in the Treatment of COVID-19: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: The COVID-19 pandemic is showing an exponential growth, mandating an urgent need to develop an effective treatment. Indeed, to date, a well-established therapy is still lacking. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) added to standard care in patients with COVID-19.

Vasopressin Continuous Infusion Improves Intracranial Pressure and Patient Outcomes after Surgical Clipping or Endovascular Coiling of Cerebral Aneurysm.

Background: Hypertensive therapy prevents vasospasm-related delayed ischemic neurologic deficit and infarcts. New alternatives would include vasopressin which has vasoconstrictive effects and positive influence on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and intracranial pressure (ICP).

Aims: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the value of vasopressin intravenous infusion (IVI) in decreasing ICP and preventing vasospasm following surgical clipping or endovascular coiling.

Prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) and its genotypes in cervical specimens of Egyptian women by linear array HPV genotyping test.

Background: The association of human papillomavirus (HPV) with cervical cancer is well established.

Aim: To investigate HPV genotype distribution and co-infection occurrence in cervical specimens from a group of Egyptian women.

Methods: A group of 152 women with and without cervical lesions were studied.

Menstrual patterns and disorders among secondary school adolescents in Egypt. A cross-sectional survey.

Background: To our knowledge, no large population - based studies have been performed on the topic of menstrual patterns among Egyptian adolescent in recent years. The aims of this study were to identify menstrual patterns and associated disorders as well as the sources of menstrual health knowledge among Egyptian adolescents.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey.
