Background: Ovarian failure, characterized by the loss of ovarian function, presents a significant challenge for women seeking to conceive. Conventional treatments have limitations in restoring ovarian function and fertility. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as a potential regenerative approach for ovarian rejuvenation. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of intraovarian injection of PRP on ovarian function in a case with ovarian failure. Methods: This prospective interventional multi-center study included 50 women with primary and secondary ovarian failure selected from Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Benha University Hospitals & other private centers. All patients were subjected to complete history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations including hormonal Laboratory evaluation of (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH), PRP injection under intravenous anesthesia and post-operative follow up mainly for measuring ovarian hormones: FSH, LH, AMH, E2 every month for 6 months. Results: The current study included 50 patients. The mean age of them was (36.68 ± 6.36 years); range from (24 –45years). The median age (Q1, Q3) was 38 (32.75, 42). The mean serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) was 38.82 ± 20.38 (range 7.03 to 90.2) and its median (Q1, Q2) was 36.75 (19.75, 57). The mean serum luteinizing hormone (LH) was 21.43 ± 14.36 (range 4.3 to 65.5) and its median (Q1, Q2) was 16.9 (11.3, 28.7). The mean serum Estradiol hormone (E2) was 29.87 ± 22.72 (range 5 to 96) and its median (Q1, Q2) was 22.16 (13.1, 38.25). Conclusions: In the study group, intraovarian injection of PRP decreased FSH, LH, and increased E2 levels significantly, however it was less effective for boosting AMH levels. At 6-month intervals, the readings reverted to levels comparable to those that existed before to the PRP therapy. Therefore, PRP may be used alone or in conjunction with hormone therapy to treat infertility in women with poor ovarian reserve. In future clinical therapeutics, it might be regarded a time-efficient and cost-effective therapy technique.

Background: Evaluation of fetal pulmonary artery pressure (FMPAP) is important for assessing fetal cardiovascular function. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 60 pregnant women between 22 and 40 weeks of gestation. Pulmonary Doppler examinations were performed at two time points during the second and third trimesters. Various Doppler variables, including the systolic/diastolic (S/D) ratio, pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), and At/Et ratio, were measured. Results: The mean values of the Doppler variables were determined. Significant differences were observed between the two examination time points, with higher values during the second visit. Negative correlations were found between these variables and both gestational age and fetal weight. Additionally, positive correlations were identified between the Doppler variables and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Furthermore, the Doppler variables were significant predictors of both gestational age and fetal weight. Conclusions: Doppler velocimetry has been shown to be useful for detecting not just fetal pulmonary maturity, but also the FMPAP, and we expect that future research will demonstrate that estimations of the MFPAP may be able to predict whether or not the newborn will develop pulmonary hypertension.

Background: Kidney stones have become much more common in recent years. Renal stones in children are often caused by congenital anatomical abnormalities, metabolic problems, or recurrent urinary tract infections. This is why padiatrics are more likely to have recurrent urolithiasis and need repeated surgical procedures. Methods: Subjects for this prospective trial, all of whom had a single renal stone (in the pelvis or lower calyx) measuring 10-20 mm in diameter, were collected and randomly assigned to one of three groups (A; F-URS; B; Mini-Perc; C) (ESWL). The flexible ureteroscope was used to complete the URS procedure. Stones in Groups A and B were fractured or dusted using holmium:YAG laser during mini-Perc, which was conducted using a rigid paediatric nephoscope. Under fluoroscopy's watchful eye, ESWL was carried out with the aid of a piezoelectric lithotripter machine. Results: No statistically significant variations in stone location, orientation, size, or density were found. There was a statistically significant difference in operative time between the three groups tested, with group B taking much longer than groups A and C. Group B had a considerably longer fluoroscopy duration compared to groups A and C. There were no noteworthy variations in blood loss or the need for ancillary procedures. Conclusions: Treatment of renal stones in children less than 16 years old with ESWL, mini-PCNL, or RIRS is safe and successful.
背景：近年来，肾结石越来越常见。儿童肾结石通常是由先天性解剖异常、代谢问题或反复尿路感染引起的。这就是为什么儿科患儿更容易反复患上尿路结石并需要反复进行手术治疗的原因。研究方法本次前瞻性试验的受试者均为单发肾结石（位于肾盂或下肾萼），直径为 10-20 毫米，受试者被收集并随机分配到三组中的一组（A；F-URS；B；Mini-Perc；C）（ESWL）。使用输尿管软镜完成 URS 手术。A 组和 B 组的结石在迷你手术中使用钬：YAG 激光碎石或除石，迷你手术使用硬质儿科肾镜进行。在透视监视下，借助压电碎石机进行 ESWL。结果：结石的位置、方向、大小或密度均无明显统计学差异。B 组的透视时间比 A 组和 C 组长得多。结论用 ESWL、迷你 PCNL 或 RIRS 治疗 16 岁以下儿童的肾结石是安全和成功的。

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic proliferative inflammatory cutaneous condition manifested by pathological cutaneous lesions caused by multiple external and internal causes. This research aims to evaluate the IMA serum levels in psoriasis vulgaris cases and compare with healthy controls. Methods: This case control research was performed on sixty male and female psoriasis vulgaris patients with age ≥ 18 years and tewnty age and sex matched healthy control. All patients underwent general examination, clinical examination of the psoriatic lesions and laboratory investigation for measurement of IMA serum level. PASI score was utilized for disease severity evaluation. Results: Age, gender, disease duration and PASI score were insignificantly different between the study groups. BMI was significantly different between the study groups (P < 0.001). BMI showed a significant difference between paired groups, group I & IV and group II & III (P < 0.001, P < 0.001; respectively). BMI was significantly lower in group I than group II (P < 0.001) and was significantly lower in group III than group IV (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Obesity is a common comorbidity with psoriasis which may worsen the disease progression by adding more ROS to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Obese psoriatic patients were shown to have a greater IMA than non-obese psoriatic patients.

Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) continues to be a major problem in perinatology, contributing to the morbidity and death of preterm babies. To lower the risk of newborn RDS, the major objective of this study was to measure fetal lung maturity utilizing various color Doppler and multiple ultrasonography characteristics. Methods: This research was conducted on a cohort of 100 pregnant women who gave birth at Benha University Hospitals between February 26, 2022 and August 25, 2022, spanning six months. According to the occurrence of RDS, we categorized our study subjects into two groups: Group RDS+: n = 13; group RDS-: n = 87. Regarding (Maternal age, Parity, Type of delivery), there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups, but there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding (Gestational age at Birth and NBW). Results: According to ultrasonography measurements, the Mann-Whitney test revealed no significant changes in the main pulmonary artery diameter (MPA), trans cerebellar diameter, or placental thickness between the study groups. The chi-square test revealed significant differences between proximal tibial epiphysis and thalamic echogenicity (p 0.001). Positive PTE results were seen in 91.95 percent of the non-RDS group compared to 7.69 percent of the RDS group. Thalamic echogenicity was seen in 88.5% of the non-RDS group compared to 15.38% of the RDS group. Conclusions: The development of newborn RDS may be accurately predicted using certain acoustic characteristics. The ultrasonic identification of the proximal tibial ossification sites and thalamic echogenicity demonstrated the highest accuracy in predicting fetal lung maturity.

Background: Protein biomarkers in the bloodstream have the potential to aid in diagnosis, evaluate prognosis, and direct treatment. Multiple CV events have been linked to Growth Differentiation Factor 15, a cytokine released in response to cellular stress and inflammation. Psoriasis has been linked to cardiovascular disease, however the significance of this association is unclear. Objectives: Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF-15) is being studied for its potential function in psoriasis. Data Sources: By searching and reviewing Medline databases (Pub Med and Medscape) and the role of GDF-15 in psoriasis available till 2022. Study Selection: The quality of each study was evaluated separately before inclusion. If they met any of the following criteria, we considered them for inclusion: 1. It is written and published in English. (2) Featured in reputable, academic publications. Third, explain why GDF-15 is so important for psoriasis sufferers.. Data Extraction: There was a process of excluding studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria. Ethical permission, eligibility criteria, controls, information, and well-defined evaluation measures were all factors in determining the study's quality. Information relevant to our interested research outcomes was independently retrieved from each qualifying study utilising a data collecting form. Conclusions: We may infer that GDF-15's inflammatory actions may contribute to the aetiology and severity of psoriasis.

Data Sources: By searching and reviewing Medline databases (Pub Med and Medscape) and the role of GDF-15 in psoriasis available till 2022. Study Selection: The quality of each study was evaluated separately before inclusion. If they met any of the following criteria, we considered them for inclusion: 1. It is written and published in English. (2) Featured in reputable, academic publications. Third, explain why GDF-15 is so important for psoriasis sufferers.. Data Extraction: There was a process of excluding studies that did not meet the inclusion criteria. Ethical permission, eligibility criteria, controls, information, and well-defined evaluation measures were all factors in determining the study's quality. Information relevant to our interested research outcomes was independently retrieved from each qualifying study utilising a data collecting form. Conclusions: We may infer that GDF-15's inflammatory actions may contribute to the aetiology and severity of psoriasis.","PeriodicalId":8745,"journal":{"name":"Benha Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135155977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: Evaluation of serum interleukin-17 in female-pattern baldness. Background: The top and frontal regions of the scalp are the most vulnerable to pattern baldness. Although interleukin-17 has many important biological roles, those associated with inflammation are the most well studied. Data sources: By searching and reviewing Medline databases (Pub Med and Medscape) and the role of serum interleukin 17 level in pattern hair loss available till 2023. Study selection: The quality of each study was evaluated separately before inclusion. The following requirements were met for inclusion: Publications in English that examine the significance of serum interleukin 17 level in the aetiology of pattern hair loss from a peer-reviewed publication. Data extraction: Studies were not included if they did not meet the inclusion criteria. The quality of a study may be determined by checking its ethical approval, eligibility criteria, controls, information, and evaluation methods. Information relevant to our interested research outcomes was independently retrieved from each qualifying study utilising a data collecting form. Conclusion: It's reasonable to say that IL-17 is involved in the aetiology of balding patterns.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of different focus sizes used in shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) in breaking up renal stones. Methods One hundred patients with radio-opaque renal stones up to 20 mm were included in this prospective trial from the urology department at Benha University Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups at random. Group A was overseen by F1 and Group B by F2.KUB determined the percentage of patients who were stone-free after two weeks. There were no statistically significant differences between groups with respect to loin pain (P = 0.121), loin pain duration (P = 0.963), stone size (P = 0.443), stone density (P = 0.6), stone number (P = 0.897), stone location, or hydronephrosis (P = 1.01).Stones were most often found in the left lower calyx (28%) of patients in group A, and the left mid-calyx (38% of patients in group B). Two-week residual (P = 0.024), residual size (P = 0.049), and stone-free rate (P = 0.033) all differed significantly across the groups. In terms of adverse effects, group B had a substantially greater incidence of both colic (22% vs. 10%, P = 0.027) and fever (20% vs. 6%, P = 0.034). In terms of hematuria, no significant changes were found (P = 0.239). A high stone-free rate can be achieved with a small focus size and a constant force and rate in SWL, but these findings need to be validated in the presence of other variables, such as breathing or stone movement, which can influence effectiveness.
