SDC-Net: End-to-End Multitask Self-Driving Car Camera Cocoon IoT-Based System.

Currently, deep learning and IoT collaboration is heavily invading automotive applications especially in autonomous driving throughout successful assistance functionalities. Crash avoidance, path planning, and automatic emergency braking are essential functionalities for autonomous driving. Trigger-action-based IoT platforms are widely used due to its simplicity and ability of doing receptive tasks accurately.

Altered microRNA expression profile is linked to T-cell exhaustion-related pathways in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Background: Although the phenotype and functions of exhausted T cells in several cancers have been identified, the involved molecular mechanisms remain to be further elucidated. In this regard, we have recently reported that the immunoregulatory cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (T), share common dysregulated miRNAs that target specific immunosuppressive pathways in patients with in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Aim: In this study, we aimed to further explore whether similar dysregulation in miRNA expression is linked to T cell exhaustion and dysfunctionality in B cell ALL patients.

In Silico Studies on Zinc Oxide Based Nanostructured Oil Carriers with Seed Extracts of and as Potential Inhibitors of 3CL Protease of SARS-CoV-2.

Coming into the second year of the pandemic, the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants continue to be a serious health hazard globally. A surge in the omicron wave, despite the discovery of the vaccines, has shifted the attention of research towards the discovery and use of bioactive compounds, being potential inhibitors of the viral structural proteins. The present study aimed at the green synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with seed extracts of and -loaded nanostructured oil carriers (NLC)-using a mixture of olive and black seed essential oils.

Interleukin-4 -590C/T gene polymorphism in Egyptian children with acute lower respiratory infection: A multicenter study.

Background: Acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is the leading cause of child mortality, especially in the developing world. Polymorphisms in the interleukin 4 (IL-4) gene have been linked to a variety of human diseases.

Objectives: To investigate whether the IL-4 -590C/T (rs2243250) polymorphism could be a genetic marker for susceptibility to ALRIs in young Egyptian children.

Association of vitamin D receptor gene FokI polymorphism and susceptibility to CAP in Egyptian children: a multicenter study.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of child deaths around the world. Recently, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has emerged as a susceptibility gene for CAP.

Objectives: To evaluate the association of the VDR gene Fok I polymorphism with susceptibility to CAP in Egyptian children.

Unusual case of central alveolar hypoventilation.

Central alveolar hypoventilation is rarely encountered. This case report describes a young woman who was recently diagnosed with hypertension and ischemic heart disease. She presented to the emergency room with hypercapnic respiratory failure, for which she was mechanically ventilated.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in Egyptian children with CAP: A case-control study.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is a potential candidate gene for CAP risk.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs4340) could be a genetic marker for CAP susceptibility in Egyptian children, and we also measured the serum ACE level to assess its relation to such polymorphism.

Prediction of Ischemic Stroke-Associated Pneumonia: A Comparison between 3 Scores.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Among all poststroke complications, pneumonia constitutes a major complication with a strong impact on morbidity and mortality. To identify patients at high risk of stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) and to tailor a prophylactic approach, a reliable scoring model for prediction may be useful in daily stroke care.

Oxidative stress in Egyptian children with autism: relation to autoimmunity.

Unlabelled: We are the first to study the relationship between oxidative stress (by measuring plasma F2-isoprostane, as a marker of lipid peroxidation, and glutathione peroxidase, as an antioxidant enzyme) and autoimmunity (as indicated by serum antineuronal antibodies) in a group of 44 Egyptian autistic children and 44 healthy matched-children. Our results showed that oxidative stress was found in 88.64% of autistic children.
