OBJECTIVE: To apply an e-nose system for monitoring headspace volatiles in biological samples from Egyptian patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and healthy controls (HCs) and compare them with standard sputum analysis.

An artificial neural network prediction model of congenital heart disease based on risk factors: A hospital-based case-control study.

Medicine
An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the risks of congenital heart disease (CHD) in pregnant women.This hospital-based case-control study involved 119 CHD cases and 239 controls all recruited from birth defect surveillanc...

Lactate levels and risk of lactic acidosis with metformin in diabetic kidney disease patients.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Metformin as an oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) is not recommended in renal failure due to the presumed risk of lactic acidosis though it has advantages in cardiovascular protection with a low risk of hypoglycemia. Few studies have measured lactic acid ...

P569Diastolic dyssynchrony is associated with exercise intolerance in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.

European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with intra-ventricular dyssynchrony at systolic phase during exercise in hypertensive patients. However, dypsnea on exertion is much more correlated with diastolic phase. We investigated wh...

Evidence for Alteration in Serum Concentrations of Leptin in Infertile Men Categorized Based on BMI.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to compare serum and seminal level of leptin in the context of infertility in men according to BMI. We also investigated the possible correlation of circulating level of leptin with fertility indices.
