Background and Aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common medical\ndisorder that may be severe enough to impair the quality of life. This study\naimed to assess the role of each of dietary, psychiatric, autonomic, and microbiology\nbackground and their interactions in Egyptian patients with IBS.\nPatients and Methods: Forty adult patients diagnosed with IBS, equally divided\ninto 2 groups the diarrhea predominant and the constipation predominant,\nwere recruited from the Endoscopy Unit. Dietary assessment was done\nby monthly food frequency questionnaire. Psychiatric assessment was done\nby both the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and Hopkins Symptom.....................
In December 2019, coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to infection with the\nnovel SARS-CoV-2 virus began to break out. Hemodialysis patients are at\nhigh risk because of the co-morbidities. We report the clinical and biological\ncharacteristics of two patients who developed COVID-19 infection in our dialysis\ncenter in Donka National Hospital. None of the patients had contact\nwith an infected person. The age was 38 and 54 years. The symptoms common\nto both patients were: fatigue, diarrhea, fever. Lymphopenia was present\nin both patients. None of them had a chest X-ray or chest scan because they\nwere positive for the test before admission....
Background. Due to the sustained morbidity and mortality that malaria-associated anaemia imposes on patients, malaria is still a\nglobal threat, most especially, to residents in sub-Saharan Africa. Merozoite invasion and destruction of erythrocytes, a target for\nthis study, have been necessary due to its unique nature and also since the erythrocytes suffer the most brunt of malarial infection\nleading to anaemia. The issue of malaria anaemia has to do with why uninfected RBCs get destroyed and even more so than\ninfected ones.......................
Objective: To evaluate the effect of physical methods on the prevention of\nvenous thrombosis in patients with peripherally inserted central catheter\n(PICC). Methods: Randomized controlled trials meeting the inclusion and\nexclusion criteria were retrieved from the following databases: Cochrane library,\nPubmed, EMbase, Web of science, Ovid, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP,\nthen Review Manage (RevMan) 5.3 software was used for data analysis. Results:\nA total of 24 RCTs including 3496 patients were analyzed in the study.\nThe results of meta-analysis showed that various forms of upper limb movements\ncould effectively decrease the incidence of venous thrombosis in the\npatients with PICC.................................
Introduction: the objective of this work was to contribute to the improvement\nof the management of tuberculosis and to the reduction of the rate of abandonment\nof the anti-tuberculosis treatment by the determination of the associated\nfactors in the city of Mbuji-Mayi. Method: the study is quantitative, it\nis kind of descriptive correlational. The sample is non-probabilistic of the accidental\ntype, the size of which is 36 subjects. Results: 1) About the rate of\ndiscontinuation of anti-tuberculosis treatment: Our results CON anoint that\nof the total of 3029 tuberculosis patients who visited the health structures of\nthese two health zones, 36 had discontinued treatment, a rate of 1.18%. On\n36 cases of abandonment, 9 cases (or 25%) had resumed treatment and 27 cases\n(75%) had completely abandoned. 2) A Factors associated with total discontinuation\nof treatment:.....................................
Tuberculosis (TB) remains an infectious disease with a high prevalence\nworldwide and represents a major public health issue. Although venous\nthromboembolism (VTE) is a rare complication of this disease, it may be a\npotentially life-threatening event. A 58-year-old man was admitted due to\nhematemesis due to inflammation at the anastomosis site after a gastrectomy\nyears ago. After 3 days in-hospital, he showed a peroneal deep vein thrombosis\nand superficial thrombosis of left cephalic vein. Although reduced mobility\nand lack of prophylactic heparin could explain vein thrombosis, a simple\netiologic workup was performed and active tuberculosis was diagnosed. This\ncase illustrates a rare and unusual presentation form of tuberculosis, a condition\nthat remains now-a-days one of the leading infectious causes of death\nworldwide. The association between tuberculosis and VTE is rare, but it\nshould be systematically investigated....
