The aim of the study is to present the current state of knowledge on the rare side effect of 5-fluorouracil, what is neurotoxicity. Knowledge on this subject comes from a few studies, and many of the suggested mechanisms are still hypothesized. Also imaging diagnostics (MRI) or EEG do not provide certain diagnostic guidelines. Also, causal treatment in some patients has not yet been established. According to the summary of product characteristics, before starting treatment, the concentration of dihydropyridimine dehydrogenase (DPD) should be determined, the deficiency of which may cause serious complications, including fatal ones.

The assumptions of the “less is more” trend are becoming more attractive to more and more consumers. In the last few years, we can see the development of many new cosmetic companies. In social media, we are faced with many advertisements for more and more new products available on the market. Often it is under the influence of external stimuli that we buy new cosmetics, which very often end up on our shelves and then into the trash. The minimalism trend educates consumers to be prudent about excessive consumerism. We lose money, stimulate the skin and contribute to environmental pollution. The idea of skin minimalism assumes not only limiting the amount of products used every day, but also reducing the number of used cosmetics packaging.

Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) is a rare, but potentialy life- treatening condition, as patients may present with profouse bleeding [1]. This case report details the management of a 26-year-old woman, who experienced a miscarriage at 16 weeks of gestation accompanied by persistent bleeding throughout her pregnancy. Following the miscarriage, she was presented to the hospital due to severe bleeding and anemia. A thorough evaluation revealed the presence of an Arteriovenous (AV) malformation within the uterus.

The escalation in patient numbers, complications in patient management, and limitations imposed by healthcare schemes have led to extended queues in patient wait times. This has resulted in diminished service quality, decreased patient satisfaction, and financial strain in outpatient departments worldwide. A strategic approach centered on the zero-waste philosophy has been adopted to achieve optimal resource utilization.

Chicken meat is a popular, highly nutritious, and easily digestible source of protein. Chicken meat is a desirable target for direct or indirect bacterial contamination at each stage of production, from rearing to ready-to-eat meal. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the bacteriological quality of 120 random samples of raw, chilled chicken cuts (breast, thigh, drumstick, and wings,30 of each) sold in Benha city’s local markets and their risk to public health.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus- 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a global health crisis that called for re-purposing of many medications. Both the implication of diabetes mellitus (DM) in increasing the risk of COVID-19-associated respiratory complications, together with the claims about the involvement of acidic pH in exacerbating acute lung injury as well as SARS-CoV-2 invasion, growth, and replication, guided our interest towards possible efficacy of antidiabetic and anti-peptic ulcer medications in such condition. The present work aimed to evaluate the safety and antiviral efficacy of the oral antidiabetic, metformin, and the anti-ulcer, misoprostol, on SARS-CoV2-infected Vero-E6 cell line.
