Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

417
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

197
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

305
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations

481
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Uveitis is a significant cause of vision loss.
  • Understanding uveitis patterns is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the clinical characteristics of uveitis patients at Cairo University.
  • To identify the most frequent causes and anatomical classifications of uveitis in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 313 uveitis cases from May 2015 to May 2017.
  • Comprehensive ocular and medical examinations were performed.

Main Results:

  • Panuveitis was the most common form (53.4%), followed by anterior (33.2%), posterior (12.8%), and intermediate uveitis (0.6%).
  • Specific causes were identified in 75.4% of patients, with Behçet disease (29.1%), parasitic anterior chamber granulomatous uveitis (14.4%), and Vogt Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease (12.8%) being most prevalent.
  • Macular holes occurred in 13 eyes, predominantly associated with Behçet disease.

Conclusions:

  • Panuveitis is the predominant anatomical form of uveitis in Egypt.
  • Diagnostic efforts for uveitis should prioritize Behçet disease, parasitic anterior chamber granulomatous uveitis, and VKH disease.
