Genetic characterization of extended-spectrum β-Lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli isolated from Egyptian hospitals and environments.

Over the past decades, Escherichia coli (E. coli) have acquired extensive resistance to antibiotics; especially β- lactams. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producers among E.

Analysis of Gene Mutations in Egyptian Children with Nephrotic Syndrome.

Background: Mutations in the genes are the main aetiology of early-onset and familial steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). The pathogenic mutation together with the p.R229Q variant has been less described among Egyptian children.

Childhood glaucoma profile in Dakahelia, Egypt: a retrospective study.

Aim: To analyze childhood glaucoma regarding its demographics, presentations, different causes and surgical modalities used among patients in Dakahelia and to apply the Childhood Glaucoma Research Network (CGRN) classification retrospectively to evaluate its convenience.

Methods: A retrospective study in which the medical files of all glaucoma patients <16 years old presented to Mansoura Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University from 2014 to 2017, were retrieved and analyzed. Collected data included: age, gender, laterality, visual acuity (VA), refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal diameter, cup-disc ratio, types and number of surgeries and antiglaucomatous drugs (AGD) at the first and last visit.

Genetic polymorphisms of IL-23R (rs7517847) and LEP (rs7799039) among Egyptian patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Genetic polymorphisms of IL-23 R (rs7517847) and LEP (rs7799039) have been stated to be associated with various types of human cancers. The purpose of this work is to test the association of these genetic polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among Egyptian patients.

Subjects And Methods: This study involved 150 unrelated Egyptian HCC patients in addition to 100 healthy controls from the same locality.
