The diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is primarily based on clinical standards. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relevance of Mediterranean fever (MEFV) genetic testing in the diagnosis of FMF as well as to identify the most frequent variant alleles and their relationship to clinical symptoms in Egyptian patients. Egyptian patients with a clinical suspicion of having FMF were studied in order to determine MEFV genotypes.

- Isoproterenol (ISO) is a non-selective β agonist that can damage cardiac tissues and affect heart function.
- Alchemilla vulgaris (AV) is an herbal plant known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help protect the heart.
- In a study with mice, AV treatment reduced the damage caused by ISO, improving antioxidant levels, decreasing inflammation markers, and lowering cardiac injury in a dose-dependent manner.
