Objectives: We aimed to investigate the risk factors predicting the development of intractable epilepsy in children with cerebral palsy (CP), with an emphasis on perinatal characteristics, seizure semiology, imaging, and EEG findings.
Materials & Methods: Following a descriptive, retrospective, case-control design, 106 children with CP and epilepsy from 2015 to 2020 were studied (46 children with CP and intractable epilepsy and 60 with CP and controlled epilepsy). Data were retrieved from medical records of participants (i.
Background: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder in children, but its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear.
Aims: The aims of this study were to measure the level of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as markers of immune system involvement in children with ADHD, and to study their correlation with symptoms severity of ADHD.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 80 children diagnosed as ADHD based on the criteria adapted from the .
Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in which dramatic transient impairment in liver functions occurs in some patients. We aimed to evaluate the state of the liver in cases of Perinatal asphyxia and to assess the severity of hepatic impairment in relation to different grades of HIE. This case-control study was conducted on 100 full-term newborns with perinatal asphyxia (Group I) and 50 healthy neonates served as controls (Group II).

- - Hemophilia A (HA) is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII), with a key complication being the development of inhibitors against FVIII, influenced by mutations like intron 22 inversion (Inv22).
- - A study involving 72 severe and 48 moderate HA patients in Egypt found that 23% had the Inv22 mutation, with a significantly higher incidence in severe cases (33%) compared to moderate ones (6%).
- - The presence of the Inv22 mutation greatly increases the risk of developing inhibitors, with affected patients experiencing a fourfold higher likelihood of inhibitor development compared to those without the mutation.
Early diagnosis and initial therapy are important to reduce the complications of bacterial meningitis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin in children with acute meningitis. We included 40 children (4 months-14 years) suspected to have acute meningitis in our study.

Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the serum vitamin D level in children with a diagnosis of ADHD. The secondary objective was to detect the effect of vitamin D supplementation on cognitive function in those with vitamin D deficiency.
