Background: The most crucial problem with in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is still oocyte quality. The women age and the condition of their ovarian reserve are the primary determinants of oocyte quality. Objectives: to assess the effects of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on the result of pregnancies and the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) value in follicular fluid (FF) in the women who had the procedure. Patients and methods: this cohort investigation was conducted on 81 infertile patients (age between 20-42 years, both normal or poor responders ’ patients and patients with unexplained infertility) who underwent ICSI cycles. Results: patients were divided into two groups: the pregnant group (n= 32) and the non-pregnant group (n= 49). There was a statistically insignificant difference in antral follicle count (AFC), number of retrieved oocytes, number of embryos, number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes, and maturation index between pregnant and non-pregnant females. CoQ10 level in FF was substantially greater in pregnant than non-pregnant females. Conclusion: FF CoQ10 levels were positively correlated with eventual embryo quality and rates of conception. Our findings might be in favour of CoQ10 supplementation in women undergoing IVF for enhancement of the ovum and embryo quality.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) continues to be more evolving. Pain remains the main annoying symptom postoperative. Objectives: This study aimed to proof if using incentive spirometry (IS) after LC will alleviate tip shoulder and right hypochondrial pain. Patients and Methods: On 90 patients undergoing LC at Kasr Al ainy hospitals and National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research Institute (NHTMRI) who were identified as having chronic calcular cholecystitis clinically and radiographically by ultrasonography, a prospective randomized controlled research was conducted. Two groups are formed. Group I (n = 45) receiving IS (consisting of 20 slow, deep breaths with a spirometry while sitting or semi sitting every 2 hours beginning at 2 hours postoperative) . There will be no respiratory over activity in Group II (n = 45). The "Visual Analogue Scale" (VAS) score used to further analyses shoulder and right hypochondrial pain. Results: Group I average pain score was significantly lower than Group II average pain score at 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours (p-value 0.001), as well as at 8 hours (p-value =0.007). However, there were no significant differences between the study group and the control group on the second postoperative day (p-value = 0.900). In comparison to the control group, the study group receives a significantly lower dose of an analgesic (p-value 0.001). Conclusion:
背景:腹腔镜胆囊切除术(LC)不断发展。疼痛仍然是术后最主要的恼人症状。目的:本研究旨在证明在LC后使用刺激肺活量测量(IS)是否能减轻尖端肩和右侧疑软骨疼痛。患者与方法:对90例在Kasr Al - ainy医院和国家肝病与热带医学研究所(NHTMRI)行LC的临床和影像学诊断为慢性结石性胆囊炎的患者进行前瞻性随机对照研究。形成了两组。第一组(n = 45)接受IS(从术后2小时开始，每2小时进行20次缓慢的深呼吸，同时坐着或半坐着进行肺活量测定)。II组无呼吸过度活动(n = 45)。“视觉模拟量表”(VAS)评分用于进一步分析肩部和右侧疑软骨疼痛。结果:1组患者2小时、4小时、6小时及8小时平均疼痛评分显著低于2组患者(p值0.001)。然而，在术后第2天，研究组与对照组之间无显著差异(p值= 0.900)。与对照组相比，研究组接受的镇痛药剂量明显较低(p值0.001)。结论:

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a globally emerging illness, resulting in potential effects on public health and global economies. Objectives: To assess the incidence of Acute Kidney Injury among patients who are infected with COVID-19, and to evaluate risk factors. Patients and methods: This study enrolled 100 adult patients infected with COVID-19 and recently diagnosed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The patients were submitted to clinical examination and laboratory testing for ESR, CRP, CBC, Serum creatinine, and D-dimer. Patients were also assessed radiologically by CT Chest. High-resolution computed tomography Parenchymal abnormalities on HRCT were assessed. AKI patients were classified based on Acute Kidney Injury Network staging. Results : The mean age of all studied patients was 48.1 ± 10.8 years and mean BMI of all studied patients was 31.3 ± 4.6 kg/m 2 , 51 patients were males (51%) and 49 females (49%). There were 35 patients (35%) with a mild infection, 23 patients (23%) with moderate and 42 patients (42%) with severe in the studied patients. The overall AKI prevalence among COVID-19 patients was 18 %. All of them were grade III AKI. Our study revealed that old age, severity of infection, dyspnea, elevated CRP, ALT, AST, PT, INR, Urea and Creatinine were considerable distinct predictors for AKI. Conclusion : The Prevalence of AKI among COVID-19 patients was 18 %. Old age, the severity of infection, dyspnea, elevated CRP, increased serum urea, Creatinine were significant independent predictors for AKI.

Background : Direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant change in the lives of children and adolescents. Changes in psychosocial behavior are one of them and are least noticed by parents and caregivers. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the mental and behavioral changes in children and adolescents of India before March 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic by Pediatric Symptom Checklist -17 (PSC-17). Patients and Methods : A cross-sectional observational study was conducted through an online questionnaire-based survey on children and adolescents of age group (5 -17 years) from 1st July to 15th July 2021 in India. Data were collected from parents regarding socio-demographic status, the behavior of study participants before and during the pandemic, and their perspective for the same. For statistical analysis chi-square test and the Mcnemar test was used. Results : Overall, 17.14% (77) of the study population scored positive during the covid pandemic on the total PSC-17 score. Participants residing in a metropolitan city, having nuclear family, and having no siblings were affected more as compared to others. The proportion of positive I scores (≥5), A score (≥7), E score (≥7) &total score (≥15) before and during COVID-19 were statistically significant among children. Conclusion: The psychological

Background: The tenth most prevalent cancer type in the world is bladder cancer. Males are four times more likely than females to have it. The most prevalent subtype is urothelial carcinoma. Development and progression of bladder cancer are influenced by estrogen receptors. Objectives: To examine the expression of estrogen receptor beta in bladder urothelial carcinoma and how it relates to other pathological factors of prognostic significance. Materials and method: Fifty formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue sections of cases of urothelial carcinoma from transurethral resection and radical cystectomy specimens were examined histopathologically by routine H&E stain and immunohistochemically stained with Anti-ER-beta antibody. The immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptor beta was assessed. Results: Of the 50 cases of urothelial carcinoma, mean age 60 ±8.7 range (41-85) years, 34 male and 16 female, estrogen receptor beta was expressed in 29 (58%) of the cases. The expression of ERβ was significantly elevated in high grade (p value 0.006). The ERβ expression was also significantly increased in advanced tumor stages (p value 0.03) and in muscle invasive tumor (p value 0.004). The presence of lymphovascular emboli was associated with higher ERβexpression. Conclusion: ERβ expression is significantly associated with high grade and with advanced stages of urothelial carcinoma.

Background : Pyogenic infection is a bacterial infection that leads to the formation of pus. Antibiotics are routinely prescribed to treat these pyogenic bacterial infections, but their toxicity poses a severe threat. It is important to know the antimicrobial resistance profile of such pathogens for proper management of the patients. Objectives: To determine the bacteriological profile and antibiotic resistance pattern of pyogens. Patients and Methods: In this cross sectional study, a total of 678 pus samples were received and processed for aerobic culture from various departments. Standard techniques were used to identify isolates from positive pus cultures, and CLSI standards were used to identify antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Results: Out of the 678 samples, 347 (51.18%) showed growth of pathogenic bacteria. Two hundred seventeen two (40.11%) Gram positive cocci and 75 (11.06%) Gram negative bacilli isolates were identified. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common isolate (57.5%). Most of the isolates were highly resistant to commonly prescribed antimicrobial drugs like Amoxycillin clavulanate. Most of the gram positive isolates were susceptible to vancomycin, linezolid, and teicoplanin. Most of the Gram-negative isolates were sensitive to imipenem. Conclusion: Microbiological profile findings of pus culture isolates as well as their pattern of antimicrobial resistant may aid in the formulation of antibiotic policies for pyogenic infections.
