Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is defined as the inability of the pancreas to perform a normal digestive function. Habitually, it occurs as a result of a severe reduction in the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, although - less frequently - it may be due to the inability of these enzymes to
Since the 1960s, Liver Transplantation (LT) has emerged as a cornerstone intervention to cure liver failure. Mortality in patients with liver failure who cannot be rescued with Liver Transplantation remains high despite improvements in supportive care.
Artificial Liver Support System (ALSS) in ALF
This is a pilot study that include 30 patients with liver cirrhosis and portal vein thrombus which don't fulfill the criteria of malignancy by imaging technique. The patients involved in the study were and will be admitted to Specialized Medical Hospital, Mansoura University Hospitals.

BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE:
International health agencies and chronic disease associations have called for reductions in free/added sugars to ≤5-10% of energy to address the growing epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Attention has focused especially on the reduction of major source of free sugars,
The alpha feto protein level showing liver function is lower in babies with Down syndrome and this biochemical marker is one of the basic parameters of triple screening.
If these babies have insufficient liver function, then it is likely that there is a decrease in hepatocyte growth factor in these
Objectives
1. Changes of blood Phe level from baseline at the 7th, 14th, and 28th day
2. Percentage of the study patients whose blood Phe level decreases for >= 30%
3. Percentage of the study patients whose Phe tolerance increase from baseline for >=50%
4. Correlation between PAH gene mutation and
Background:
In persons with diabetes, glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is used as a retrospective measurement of the patient's estimated mean blood glucose over the past 3 months. HbA1c forms in a non-enzymatic pathway when haemoglobin is exposed to blood glucose. The normal range of HbA1c and the
Colorectal surgery (CS) has traditionally been associated with significant morbidity and prolonged hospital stay 1,2. Overall complication rates have been reported to be 26-35%.3,4,5,6 Infectious complications represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality after CS.6 Postoperative
This would be a community-based randomized controlled trial (RCT) among the individuals diagnosed as having CKD with stage 1-3 who agreed to participate.
Registration/Enrolment of participants:
Community health workers (CHWs) will perform home -visits to obtain written informed consent, perform
Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (Dd group) subjects (sample size ≥ 10 cases) and foot osteomyelitis without diabetes (ND group) subjects (sample size ≥ 10 cases) were collected in accordance with the inclusion criteria. Surgeons collected intra-operative bone specimens from all 28 patients who required
Study Design: A six week, open-label, flexible dosing study using quetiapine. Subjects who qualify at Screening will then proceed to the baseline visit. If all inclusion and exclusion criteria are met, subjects will be administered quetiapine at the baseline visit. Enrollment will be 15 subjects.
Hypothesis: In children with IBD, high scores for a sleep disturbance screener will be positively associated with IBD relapse
Project Design and Specific Objective: This is a single centre pediatric observational prospective study to develop a non-invasive non-costly tool to screen for relapses in
Pregnancy and lactation are both states of altered maternal calcium and bone metabolism which may have a significant impact on the development of peak bone mass. While these two states are characterized by different hormonal environments, both have been associated with significant bone loss. The
This study will evaluate the ability of a high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) assay to detect and to rule-out high-risk ischemic cardiac injury in emergency room patients experiencing signs and symptoms consistent with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Cardiovascular disease is still the
