Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart defect characterized by four anatomical abnormalities. Cardiac MRI has emerged as a valuable non-invasive imaging modality for comprehensive evaluation of cardiac structure and function. This study aimed to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of post Fallot tetralogy surgical repair. Patients & Methods: This observational study included 30 patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot and referred to diagnostic radiology department, at Benha University Hospitals. All patients were subjected to complete history taking, full clinical examination, 12 lead ECG, Echocardiography, and Cardiac MRI. For further evaluation of CMR parameters, the studied subjects were divided into two group according to RVEF: Group A were patients with RVEF <50% and Group B were patients with RVEF >50%. Results : The mean age was 13.13 years. Sixty percent of the studied subjects were males and 40% were females. According to CMR parameters, RVEF mean level was 51.54. RV cardiac output mean level was 6.06 L/minute, RV stroke volume mean was 99.94%, RVEDV was 164.18 ml and RVESD mean was 75.87 ml. Pulmonary regurgitation fraction mean was 41.44, RV mass was 91.03 and LVEF mean was 69.25%. Conclusion: Cardiac MRI plays a crucial role in the assessment of post-surgical repair cases of Tetralogy of Fallot. By providing detailed anatomical and functional information, it helps clinicians evaluate the success of the surgical repair, detect residual abnormalities, and guide further interventions.

Keywords Escherichia coli represents as one of gut microflora of worm-blooded animals that distributed widely. This bacterium is attributed into 4 phylogenetic groups A, B1, B2 and D that differ from each other’s in their virulence and disease caused by them. The current study examined the serotyping of E. coli strains isolated from milk and milk products with investigation of their phylogenetic grouping. Eight strains isolated from raw milk, Kariesh cheese, feta (white) cheese, and Ice cream (two strains from each product) were examined serologically by rapid diagnostic E. coli antisera sets and the result showed the presence of three serotypes O114:K90 (two strains), O128:K67 (three strains) and O55:K59 (three strains). Their phylogenetic grouping came out triplex PCR depend on the amplification of chu A , yja A, and the DNA fragment of tsp E4.C2 . It showed that six strains belonged to the B2 group, and two strains belonged to D group based on the presence or absence of these genes.

Keywords Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming bacterium that causes food spoilage and poisoning. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus in 180 dairy samples across three cites (Tanta, El-Santa, and El-Mahalla El-Kubra) in El-Gharbia Governorate, Egypt, including raw milk, milk powder and Ras cheese ( 60 of each). Samples were collected from December 2022 to April 2023 and analyzed using traditional isolation, biochemical identification with VITEK 2, and PCR targeting the nhe A gene as a virulence factor for Bacillus cereus . Traditional isolation on selective media indicated a prevalence of 1.66%, 24.99% and 4.99% in raw milk, milk powder and Ras cheese, respectively. However, VITEK 2 only confirmed that Bacillus cereus in milk powder isolates was 24.99%. PCR detection of the nhe A gene revealed that Bacillus cereus in the examined samples completely matched with traditional isolation. Overall, 10.5% of samples were positive for enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus by PCR. Compared to PCR, traditional isolation showed 100% sensitivity and specificity, while VITEK 2 had 79% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Although biochemical methods like VITEK 2 enabled rapid automated identification, PCR detection of virulence genes provided superior sensitivity for identifying enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus of clinical significance from dairy samples. Traditional culture techniques remain essential for isolating target bacteria prior to PCR. This study provided insights into the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacillus cereus contamination in some Egyptian dairy products.

Keywords Liver cancer is the sixth most frequent cancer in the world, with a significant morbidity and mortality rate, is liver cancer. Discovery of a suitable therapeutic alternative for this disease is of greatest importance because various types of cancer annually result in thousands of fatalities worldwide. Atorvastatin is a competitive inhibitor of hydroxy methylglutaryl CoA reductase, which plays a role in anticancer activities in a range of malignancies, including human liver cancer. Proanthocynadin is a phytochemical that has a variety of pharmacological effects and chemotherapeutic properties.

In this study, the antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties of Atorvastatin, Proanthocynadin and Taxol against HepG2 liver cancer cell line was evaluated in vitro. Cell survival and apoptosis in liver cancer cell lines were analyzed using MTT assay.
