Background: Obesity & iron deficiency anemia are two global health problems, with major consequences on human health. Many studies found an association between them explained by chronic inflammatory mediators that increase in obese personnel affecting iron absorption & transport. On the contrary, other studies denied this association especially in adolescents. Aim of Study: Assessment of the relation between obesity & iron deficiency anemia in Egyptian adolescents. Patients and Methods: Thecross sectional study included 127 adolescent participants aged 14-19 years old attending outpatient clinic for Family Medicine, Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital. They were classified according to their body mass indexinto normal weight, overweight & obese according to growth using WHO growth curves. Demographic data, medical history & examination were done to confirm inclusion & exclusion criteria. A blood sample was taken for hemoglobin concentra- tion & serum ferritin level. Results: Iron deficiency anemia was more prevalent in normal than in overweight & obese patients (64%, 17.4%, 18.6% respectively). The difference was highly significant. ( p <0.001). Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is common in Egyptian adolescents (86 out of 127 participants). The higher incidence of anemia in normal weight than obese patients denotes that obesity is not a decisive factor in development of anemia in adolescents as suggested by other studies.
背景:肥胖和缺铁性贫血是两个全球性的健康问题,对人类健康造成重大影响。许多研究发现它们之间的关联可以通过慢性炎症介质来解释,即肥胖人员中影响铁吸收和运输的慢性炎症介质的增加。相反,其他研究否认了这种联系,尤其是在青少年中。研究目的:探讨埃及青少年肥胖与缺铁性贫血的关系。患者与方法:横断面研究纳入Kasr Al-Ainy医院家庭医学门诊就诊的127名14-19岁青少年。根据他们的体重指数,根据世界卫生组织的生长曲线,将他们分为正常体重、超重和肥胖。进行人口统计资料、病史和检查以确定纳入和排除标准。取血测定血红蛋白浓度和血清铁蛋白水平。结果:缺铁性贫血在正常人群中的发生率高于超重和肥胖人群(分别为64%、17.4%和18.6%)。这种差异非常显著。(p <0.001)。结论:缺铁性贫血在埃及青少年中很常见(127名参与者中有86名)。正常体重患者的贫血发生率高于肥胖患者,说明肥胖并非其他研究认为的青少年贫血发生的决定性因素。

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the preferred treatment for those with end stage osteoarthritis (OA) and functional limitations. Aim of Study: The primary objective of this prospective RCT is to compare the functional outcomes of MB versus FB TKA. Patients and Methods: In the period between May 2014 and May 2016 in the Hospitals of Cairo University and the ministry of health, a prospective RCT was conducted on 40 patients with advanced tricompartemental OA of the knee joint. Results: Forty patients were followed-up for 12 months. Functional assessment using KSS (2011) was done to asses every patient pre-operatively, 2 weeks, 3 months and then every 3 months till 12 months post-operatively with nearly no difference between the two designs. Conclusion: There is nearly no statistically significant difference between MB and FB TKA on active knee flexion and on functional outcomes at 1 year follow-up.

Background: Myopia is the most common refractive disorders worldwide. There is progressive demand for myopia correction. The popularity of techniques and the machines is based on the outcome of surgery regarding visual acuity, recovery time and stability of refraction. Aim of Study: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability, and visual outcome of visumax femtosecond laser and Mel 90 excimer laser for correction of mild, moderate and high myopic astigmatism through six months follow-up. Patients and Methods: Patients divided into three groups each group has 50 eyes based on refractive errors into mild myopia with SER up to -3.00 D, moderate myopia with SER –3.00 up to –6.00 D and high myopia with SER more than –6.00 up to –9.00 D. All patients selected based on specific criteria and evaluated properly. Preoperative UDVA & CDVA, central corneal thickness, pentacam, wave front, flap thickness and postoperative residual stromal bed thickness, postoperative UDVA one month, three months and six months and the residual SER were recorded. All patients operated using same machines, the visumax femtosecond laser for flap creation and Mel 90 excimer laser for ablation. Results: Preoperative mean SER were –2.19 – 0.60, –4.54 – 0.87, –7.94 – 0.84 D for mild, moderate and high myopia consecutively. The mean UDVA six months post surgery were –0.09 – 0.05, –0.05 – 0.06, –0.01 – 0.03 Log MAR for mild, moderate and high myopia groups. The mean preoperative central corneal thicknesses were 547.38 – 20.59, 541.30 – 18.22 and 555.92 – 9.78 micron for the three groups consequently. The mean postoperative residual stromal bed thicknesses were 407.52 – 19.85, 359.12 – 15.41 and 313.60 – 15.81 micron for the three groups consecutively. Conclusion: Visumax femtosecond laser and MEL90 lasik ablation has a high safety and predictability in the three groups. The refraction was stable tell the six month follow-up. The visual outcome and refraction were better in mild to moderate myopia than in high myopia. HOAs were higher in high myopia group compared to the other two groups. The triple A algorithm has a minimal ablation depth and low aberrations.

Background: b -thalassemia is acommon haemolytic anaemia in Egypt. Renal complicationsare an underestimated problem of b -thalassemia. Renal injury has been attributed to the anaemia, the haemolysis, iron overload, or iron chelators. ApoE gene polymorphism has been studied in many settings in b -thalassemia. Aim of Study: In our study, we aimed to examine the possible relation of ApoE gene polymorphism to renal disease in b -thalassemia patientsand whether the APO E4 allele can be a potential genetic risk factor for the development of proteinuria in that population. Patients and Methods: Forty patients with b -thalassemia were recruited from the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic at the Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, Cairo University and compared to 45 healthy control subjects, age and sex-matched. b - thalassemia patients were further subdivided in two group. Group I with ACR less than 30 m g/mg (20 patients) and group II with ACR more than or equal 30 m g/mg (20 patients). ApoE Polymorphisms genotyping was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: Our results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between cases and control regarding serum creatinine, eGFR and ACR. The distribution of ApoEin b -thalassemia cases is E2/E3 10%, E3/E3 87.5% and E3/E4 2.5% and in control is E2/E3 4.4%, E3/E3 88.9% and E3/E4 6.7% with a statistically significant difference ( p -value <0.001). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a significant differ- ence in eGFR, Albumin Creatinine Ratio and ApoE genotyping between b -thalassemia cases and control. Although the distribution of ApoEin b -thalassemia cases is statistically different from control, it was not correlated to eGFR or proteinuria.
背景:b -地中海贫血是埃及常见的溶血性贫血。肾脏并发症是b -地中海贫血的一个被低估的问题。肾损伤可归因于贫血、溶血、铁超载或铁螯合剂。ApoE基因多态性在b -地中海贫血的许多设置研究。研究目的:在我们的研究中,我们旨在研究ApoE基因多态性与b -地中海贫血患者肾脏疾病的可能关系,以及APO E4等位基因是否可能是该人群发生蛋白尿的潜在遗传危险因素。患者和方法:从开罗大学Kasr Al-Ainy医院内科门诊招募了40名b -地中海贫血患者,并与45名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者进行了比较。B -地中海贫血患者进一步细分为两组。ⅰ组ACR < 30m g/mg(20例),ⅱ组ACR≥30m g/mg(20例)。采用聚合酶链反应限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)对ApoE多态性进行基因分型。结果:我们的结果显示,在血清肌酐、eGFR和ACR方面,病例与对照组有统计学差异。ApoEin b -地中海贫血病例分布为E2/E3 10%、E3/E3 87.5%、E3/E4 2.5%,对照组分布为E2/E3 4.4%、E3/E3 88.9%、E3/E4 6.7%,差异有统计学意义(p值<0.001)。结论:b -地中海贫血患者与对照组在eGFR、白蛋白肌酐比值和ApoE基因分型方面存在显著差异。虽然ApoEin b -地中海贫血病例的分布与对照组有统计学差异,但与eGFR或蛋白尿无关。

Background: Deterioration of quality of vision starts early in diabetes, before clinical retinopathy becomes evident. This probably indicates the early signs of neuronal dysfunction. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is an important structural neuron in the retinal layer which is often affected in the early pathological stages of diabetic retinopathy. Aim of Study: To assess the changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to correlate these changes with the stage of retinopathy. Patients and Methods: This observational study included 39 patients with type 2 DM in three groups as per the stage of DR. Group 1 included eyes without DR. Group 2 included eyes with mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Group 3 included eyes with moderate NPDR. Severe NPDR, PDR, and/or macular edema were excluded. All participants underwent full ophthalmological assessment followed by imaging via Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 optical coherence tomography (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). For each participant, macular and optic disc scans were obtained. Blood samples were with drawn for serum creatinine and glycosylated haemoglobin (Hb A1c). Results: Thirty-nine eyes of type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study; twelve eyes in group 1, 14 in group 2, and 13 in group 3. We found highly significant differences ( p <0.001) between the groups regarding the duration of diabetes and levels of HbA1c. Decremental thinning in the measurements of the average, superior, inferior, and temporal RNFL thickness were observed with the progression of DR. In groups 2 and 3 negative moderate correlations ( r =0.55 and 0.6 respectively) were found between the duration of DM and the average thickness of the RNFL. Conclusion: With the advancement in DR, we observed a reduction of RNFL thickness. More research is needed to study the effect of RNFL reduction on the progress of retin- opathy.
背景:糖尿病患者视力质量的恶化早在临床视网膜病变出现之前就开始了。这可能是神经功能障碍的早期征兆。视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)是视网膜层中重要的结构神经元,在糖尿病视网膜病变的早期病理阶段经常受到影响。研究目的:评价伴有或不伴有糖尿病性视网膜病变(DR)的2型糖尿病(DM)视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度的变化及其与视网膜病变分期的相关性。患者和方法:本观察性研究纳入39例2型糖尿病患者,根据dr分期分为三组,第一组包括无dr的眼睛,第二组包括轻度非增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变(NPDR)的眼睛。第三组为中度NPDR眼。排除严重的NPDR、PDR和/或黄斑水肿。所有参与者都进行了全面的眼科评估,然后通过Cirrus HD-OCT 5000光学相干断层扫描成像(卡尔蔡司Meditec,耶拿,德国)。对每个参与者进行黄斑和视盘扫描。抽取血样检测血清肌酐和糖化血红蛋白(Hb A1c)。结果:39只2型糖尿病患者入组;第1组12只,第2组14只,第3组13只。我们发现两组之间在糖尿病持续时间和HbA1c水平方面存在高度显著差异(p <0.001)。随着dr的进展,平均、上、下、颞部RNFL厚度的测量值逐渐变薄。在第2组和第3组中,DM持续时间与RNFL平均厚度之间存在负相关(r分别为0.55和0.6)。结论:随着DR的进展,我们观察到RNFL厚度减少。RNFL减少对视网膜病变进展的影响有待进一步研究。

This probably indicates the early signs of neuronal dysfunction. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is an important structural neuron in the retinal layer which is often affected in the early pathological stages of diabetic retinopathy. Aim of Study: To assess the changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to correlate these changes with the stage of retinopathy. Patients and Methods: This observational study included 39 patients with type 2 DM in three groups as per the stage of DR. Group 1 included eyes without DR. Group 2 included eyes with mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Group 3 included eyes with moderate NPDR. Severe NPDR, PDR, and/or macular edema were excluded. All participants underwent full ophthalmological assessment followed by imaging via Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 optical coherence tomography (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). For each participant, macular and optic disc scans were obtained. Blood samples were with drawn for serum creatinine and glycosylated haemoglobin (Hb A1c). Results: Thirty-nine eyes of type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study; twelve eyes in group 1, 14 in group 2, and 13 in group 3. We found highly significant differences ( p <0.001) between the groups regarding the duration of diabetes and levels of HbA1c.
