Sex-Age Interplay Among Young Aged Egyptians With First Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Background: The burden of modifiable risk factors in young Egyptian adults presenting with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI), sex differences, sex-age interplay, and its relationship with demographic, angiographic characteristics, and type of AMI is a good topic for discussion.

Methods: The study enrolled 165 young (≤45 years old) consecutive, eligible patients diagnosed with first AMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction), for their demographic, angiographic, echocardiographic, and laboratory investigations and gender differences.

Results: Our population were 29-45 years old and 12.

Mini-open Anterior Pelvic Osteotomy and Spica Casting for Primary Closure of the Pelvis in Infants With Classic Bladder Exstrophy.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of mini-open Salter-like anterior pelvic osteotomy followed by spica casting as an adjunct to urological reconstruction in infants with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE).

Methods: Twenty-eight infants with CBE were operated upon according to the following protocol: initial bilateral mini-open Salter-like osteotomies followed by urological reconstruction and subsequent spica casting for 3 to 4 weeks. Postoperative clinical and radiologic assessments of wound complications and union were done, respectively.

Tissue levels of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) in mycosis fungoides.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with proposed multifactorial etiology. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) is one of the proteins expressed in MF. Its exact role in disease pathogenesis has not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Screening of Asymptomatic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis among High Risk Subjects: A Pilot Study from Egypt.

Background: Stroke ranks as the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of morbidity worldwide. Large intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) is a major cause of stroke.

Methods: This study investigated the prevalence and associated vascular risk factors of ICAS in a high-risk population in Qalyeubia Governorate, Egypt.
