Study of Ascetic Fluid Lactoferrin and Calprotectin as a Novel Diagnostic Markers in Cirrhotic Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis Open
Background Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a critical infection in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites, necessitating early diagnosis for effective intervention. The standard diagnostic criterion for SBP is an ascitic flui…

Impact of treating chronic hepatitis C with direct acting antivirals on health-related quality of life: a real-life Egyptian experience Open
Background Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection negatively impacts health-related quality of life (HRQL). We aimed to assess patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to evaluate the impact of treating chronic HCV with directly acting antivira…

Prevalence and characteristics of psoriasis among a sample of preparatory school students in rural Egypt Open
Background/objectives The prevalence of psoriasis shows a worldwide geographic variation ranging from 0 up to 11.8%. This reflects the fact that psoriasis is a complex disease influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. The preva…

Analysis of symmetricity in the three different (sagittal, transverse and frontal) planes in generalized nonsegmental vitiligo Open
Background: Nonsegmental vitiligo is defined as being “ often symmetrical ”, however, no work has tackled the point as to how valid it is to depend upon the concept of symmetricity in generalized nonsegmental vitiligo. Aims: To investigate…

Expression of microRNA 205 3p and 205 5p in basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in the Egyptian population: a pilot case–control study Open
Background Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). microRNAs (miRNAs) are short single-stranded post-transcriptional regulatory RNAs that are known to play significant roles in cell…

Supplementary Material for: Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Polymorphisms –765G>C and –1195A>G and Mycosis Fungoides Risk Open
Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is an inducible modulator of inflammation that acts through increasing prostaglandin levels and has been described as a major mediator linking inflammation to cancer. Previous studies supported that COX…

Is There a Relation between Vitamin D and Interleukin-17 in Vitiligo? A Cross-Sectional Study Open
Background: High interleukin (IL)-17 contributes to vitiligo pathogenesis. Vitamin D has been assessed in vitiligo, with no reports targeting its relation to IL-17. Objective: To evaluate a possible regulatory effect of vitamin D on IL-17 …
