Post-Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Bronchiolitis Obliterans: Report of a Complex Case and a Literature Review.

Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a rare and severe respiratory complication of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), which primarily affects the small airways and causes progressive respiratory decline. We present the case of a young male with autism spectrum disorder who developed BO after an episode of SJS triggered by amoxicillin. Initially, the patient presented with an ulcerative rash and respiratory symptoms and received high-dose corticosteroids, leading to partial resolution of mucocutaneous lesions.

Background: Patients are increasingly using the internet for searching health-related information. However, the quality and readability of the information available on the internet need to be assessed. To date, no study has assessed the quality and readability of web-based Arabic health information on early childhood caries.

Nylon fiber waste as a prominent adsorbent for Congo red dye removal.

In this research nylon fibers wastes (NF) were fabricated into porous sheet using a phase inversion technique to be utilized as an adsorbent materials for Congo red dye (CR). The fabricated sheet denoted as NS was characterized using FTIR and XRD. The surface studies of the adsorbent materials using SEM and BET analysis reveals a highly pores structure with an average pore volume 0.

Synthesis of new CrO/FeO/glass composites from industrial wastes; from undesired to advanced optical products.

For the tendency toward cleaner production and safe conversion of undesired toxic wastes to highly priced advanced products, this work introduces new ceramics/glass composites of CrO/FeO/lead silicate glass (LSG) from industrial LSG wastes. Both chromia CrO and hematite FeO ceramics are added equally to the LSG wastes with different percentages (10, 20, and 30 wt.%) via the pressureless sintering method.

Zinc ferrite nanoparticles from industrial waste for Se (IV) elimination from wastewater.

The presence of high concentrations of selenium ions in wastewater is considered an environmental problem. However, the mechanism of selenium ions (Se (IV)) removal by the adsorption process has not been investigated in-depth so far. Also, the recovery and conversion of the industrial waste materials into valuable materials is a vital issue.

A new oncoplastic technique for removal of centrally located malignant tumors and reconstruction by a local dermo-glandular flap in conservative breast surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the local dermo-glandular flap as a new reconstructive oncoplastic technique after removal of central malignant tumors of the breast, in terms of patient satisfaction and local recurrence.

Patients And Methods: This study included 60 females with centrally located breast cancer who underwent central quadrantectomy and local dermo-glandular flap with either sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary clearance.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.

Immediate Lipo-Filling as a Novel Technique for Volume Replacement in Oncoplastic Breast Conservative Surgery.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of immediate lipofilling as a volume replacement technique in breast conservative surgery (BCS) in terms of the volume of fat graft resorption after radiotherapy, patient satisfaction, and oncological safety.

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective study that included female patients with breast cancer, with small- or medium-sized breasts. The patients underwent BCS followed by lipofilling into the deformed areas away from the tumor site that resulted from direct closure of the tumor cavity.

Developmental stages and growth of the proventriculus of post-hatching Muscovy duck: Light and electron microscopic study.

The present study was implemented to provide comprehensive information on the developmental sequence of the proventriculus of Muscovy ducks by gross examination, macro-micrometric analysis and by using light microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Samples from 55 healthy post-hatching Muscovy ducks of both sexes ranging from 1 to 60 days old. The proventriculus began cranially opposite to the cranial end of the liver at 1-15 days old, but in front this level at 30 and 60 days old.

Pulmonary artery sarcoma masquerading as a pulmonary embolism.

A 52-year-old woman was referred to the respiratory team with worsening shortness of breath for the last 3 months, which had deteriorated significantly over the last 2-3 weeks. She underwent a CT pulmonary angiogram, which was reported locally as showing a large pulmonary embolism. Given the chronic history and appearance of the thrombus, the patient was referred to a specialist pulmonary vascular disease multidisciplinary team and underwent a PET-CT scan with the diagnosis being felt to be more consistent with a pulmonary artery sarcoma.

Optical, magnetic and electrical properties of new ceramics/lead silicate glass composites recycled from lead crystal wastes.

Nowadays, the disposal of industrial wastes is an ablaze issue worldwide, especially those containing hazardous materials. Lead silicate glass waste (LSG) produced during lead crystal glass manufacturing, which contains about 30% of toxic lead compounds, belongs to this category. This work aims to adopt an innovative clean method to convert this waste into novel advanced ceramic materials via an environmental friendly method.

Detection of occult right ventricular dysfunction in young Egyptians with type 1 diabetes mellitus by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a common chronic disorder of childhood and adolescence. T1DM induced cardiomyopathy has a different entity than T2DM as it relies on different pathophysiological mechanisms, and rarely coexists with hypertension and obesity. Evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function in diabetic patients has been neglected despite the important contribution of RV to the overall cardiac function that affects the course and prognosis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Hair histology as a tool for forensic identification of some domestic animal species.

Animal hair examination at a criminal scene may provide valuable information in forensic investigations. However, local reference databases for animal hair identification are rare. In the present study, we provide differential histological analysis of hair of some domestic animals in Upper Egypt.

Bile Microinfarcts in Cholestasis Are Initiated by Rupture of the Apical Hepatocyte Membrane and Cause Shunting of Bile to Sinusoidal Blood.

Bile duct ligation (BDL) is an experimental procedure that mimics obstructive cholestatic disease. One of the early consequences of BDL in rodents is the appearance of so-called bile infarcts that correspond to Charcot-Gombault necrosis in human cholestasis. The mechanisms causing bile infarcts and their pathophysiological relevance are unclear.
