Background: Verruca vulgaris is a common cutaneous viral infection characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and keratinocyte proliferation. The immune response in verruca vulgaris, particularly the role of chemokines, remains an area of ongoing investigation. CXCL10 is a chemokine with potential involvement in viral skin infections, but its tissue expression in verruca vulgaris has not been comprehensively studied. Our objective was to evaluate the tissue expression of CXCL10 within cutaneous lesions of verruca vulgaris. Methods: This prospective case-control trial included 50 cases with verruca vulgaris and collected lesional biopsies, along with control biopsies from healthy skin in 30 patients. Tissue CXCL-10 levels were assessed using an ELISA assay. The data was analyzed to determine the relationship between the levels of tissue CXCL-10 and verruca vulgaris, and the potential diagnostic value of CXCL-10. Results: Tissue levels of CXCL-10 were reported to be significantly increased in verruca lesions in comparison with healthy skin biopsies (p = 0.035). The sensitivity and specificity of tissue CXCL-10 in distinguishing verruca lesions from healthy skin were 70% and 54%, respectively, at a cut-off level of 248.4. Conclusions: Our study reveals an upregulation of CXCL10 in verruca vulgaris lesions, suggesting a potential role for this chemokine in its pathogenesis. Furthermore, the diagnostic value of tissue CXCL-10 in distinguishing verruca vulgaris from healthy skin suggests its potential as a biomarker for this viral skin infection

Background: Total Managing the discomfort that follows a knee arthroplasty (TKA), a popular orthopaedic treatment, may be difficult. Multimodal analgesia with femoral nerve block (FNB) has been used for TKA, although there are concerns concerning weakness in the quadriceps after the procedure. The purpose of this research is to evaluate how well FNB works as part of a multimodal analgesia programme for managing pain after total knee replacement. However, one of FNB's major drawbacks is the risk of quadriceps muscle weakness. Finally, in patients after total knee replacement, injectable FNB offered good analgesia, aided in early ambulation, and shortened the time of their acute hospital stay. Multimodal analgesia, which includes femoral, sciatic, lumbar, and adductor nerve blocks, is now suggested. Improving postoperative pain, patient satisfaction, recovery durations, and functional results after total knee arthroplasty necessitates the development of appropriate analgesic regimes. Multimodal analgesia, pain management, total knee replacement, early ambulation, and weakness in the quadriceps muscles are all terms that have been used to describe the effects of a TKA.

Background: ICAM-Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a gene that encodes a glycoprotein found on the surface of cells that helps them stick together and respond to immunological stimuli. Several research have looked at whether variations in the ICAM-1 gene have a role in acne vulgaris susceptibility (AV). The purpose of this research was to examine ICAM-1 gene polymorphism in acne vulgaris patients. Methods: Fifty people with AV and 30 people who seemed to be healthy served as controls in this prospective case-control study. Genotyping of ICAM-1 gene polymorphism using PCR necessitated a clinical evaluation and blood sample from all individuals. Results: In regards to the ICAM-1 gene's genotypes and alleles: Everyone, including patients and controls, were genotyped. Two percent of AV patients had the AA genotype, thirty percent had the AG genotype, and fifty-six percent had the GG genotype. Forty percent of healthy controls had the AA genotype, 46.7% the AG genotype, and 13.3% the GG genotype. Acne vulgaris was strongly associated with the GG genotype. In conclusion, ICAM-1 gene polymorphism may increase AV patients' vulnerability.
背景：ICAM-细胞间粘附分子-1（ICAM-1）是一种编码细胞表面糖蛋白的基因，能帮助细胞粘在一起并对免疫刺激做出反应。有几项研究探讨了 ICAM-1 基因变异是否与寻常痤疮易感性（AV）有关。本研究的目的是检测寻常型痤疮患者的 ICAM-1 基因多态性。研究方法在这项前瞻性病例对照研究中，50 名寻常型痤疮患者和 30 名健康人作为对照。使用 PCR 对 ICAM-1 基因多态性进行基因分型，需要对所有患者进行临床评估并采集血液样本。研究结果关于 ICAM-1 基因的基因型和等位基因：包括患者和对照组在内的所有人都进行了基因分型。2%的 AV 患者为 AA 基因型，30% 为 AG 基因型，56% 为 GG 基因型。健康对照组中有 40% 为 AA 基因型，46.7% 为 AG 基因型，13.3% 为 GG 基因型。寻常痤疮与 GG 基因型密切相关。总之，ICAM-1 基因多态性可能会增加 AV 患者的易感性。

Based on the results, it was found that SYNTAX score (SS), a scoring system used to predict the prognosis and need for revascularization in CAD patients. Key findings and conclusions: High Prevalence of CAD in T2DM: The study recognizes the high prevalence of CAD in patients with T2DM, which is often characterized by severe disease. This aligns with existing literature that highlights the increased risk of CAD in diabetic populations. Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities (RSWMA): The study also found a statistically significant difference in RSWMA between the groups, indicating that the impact of CAD extended beyond the coronary arteries, potentially affecting myocardial function. These findings underscore the importance of recognizing the increased risk and severity of CAD in patients with T2DM, particularly those with stable angina. It highlights the clinical significance of assessing CAD severity using tools like the SYNTAX score to guide treatment decisions and predict prognosis in this high-risk population. While your study provides valuable insights into the relationship between T2DM and CAD severity, further research and larger multicenter studies may be needed to confirm and expand upon these findings. Additionally, assessing long-term outcomes and the impact of CAD severity on clinical management could contribute to a better understanding of the implications for patient care.

Background: Cesarean section (CS) is the most common surgery in the world and is defined as a laparotomy followed by a hysterotomy and fetal delivery. The current global standard is to use regional anesthesia, which allows patients to remain awake which minimizes drug transfer to the fetus. Aim and objectives: to assess the safety of early Versus Delayed Oral Feeding after Uncomplicated Cesarean Section on the following post-operative outcomes: post-operative vomiting and abdominal distention, post-operative nausea and abdominal pain, return of intestinal movements, duration of intravenous fluid administration, duration of hospital stay. Subjects and methods: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted at Benha university hospitals. This study was conducted on 200 consenting women undergoing cesarean section. All patients were divided into 2 equal groups: patients were randomized to receive either early or delayed feeding. Results: there were high statistical significant differences between both groups regarding most of the secondary postoperative outcomes like time until return of bowel movements, time to ambulation, time to bowel opening, time of discontinuation of intravenous fluids (p<0.001). Majority of patients of both groups underwent spinal anesthesia (60%, 70% respectively). Conclusion: The current study showed that there were improvements in return of bowel function and maternal satisfaction, coupled with a lack of gastrointestinal complications, support the advisability of early oral feeding over late oral feeding.

Background: The Sexual dysfunction and interpersonal violence have been reported as common social and health problems brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical for public health and policymaking that we comprehend how the pandemic will affect these concerns. The goal of this descriptive study is to examine the incidence of sexual dysfunction and domestic violence during COVID-19 quarantine measures and to compare these figures to those from before the pandemic. It also examines the causes, symptoms, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to sexual dysfunction. It also looks at social isolation and other variables that may have contributed to an increase in domestic violence during the epidemic. Conclusions: An increase in sexual dysfunction, especially erectile dysfunction, has been seen in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is likely attributable to the virus's effect on endothelial function. Stress, economic instability, and restrictions on migration have all been linked to increases in domestic violence during quarantine times. Both sexes reported reduced levels of sexual pleasure during the COVID-19 epidemic. Anxiety and despair were more common among men.
