For adipose stromal/stem cell (ASCs)-based immunomodulatory therapies, it is important to study how donor characteristics, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), influence ASCs efficacy. Here, ASCs were obtained from two groups, donors and T2D and obesity (dASCs) or nondiabetic donors with normal-weight (ndASCs), and then cultured with anti-CD3...

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with several complications. Adipose-tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) possess high plasticity and differentiation capabilities and are useful for treating inflammation-related disorders such as T2DM. However, the pathogenic microenvironment of T2DM m...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) represents inflammation of the gallbladder without calculi. AAC typically occurs as a secondary event in patients who are hospitalized and are acutely ill with another disease. The aim of our work was to present our experience in management of AAC and to evaluate the disease behavior and ou...

Background: Strap muscle division during thyroidectomy is a controversial issue. The role of strap muscles in voice and swallowing functions and the postoperative morbid se-quelae after strap muscles cutting have been proved by some investigators. So we have been enthused to develop a surgical approach that enables us to avoid such an unnecessary i...

Background: Facelift (retro-auricular hairline incision) approach is a valuable remote access thyroidectomy approach to eliminate neck scar, however, it is described with the use of the very expensive high technology of robot assistance that is unavailable everywhere and requires extensive training.

Background: The mid-abdominal transverse rectus abdo-menis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is characterized by a more reliable vascularity and a lesser donor site abdominal wall morbidity than conventional lower TRAM flap, its importance as an alternative approach for breast reconstruction has been overlooked.

Aim: To describe and evaluate skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) with the use of Ligasure ImpactTm instrument under tumescent local anaesthesia. Methods: 15 patients with a mean age of 43.8 years having early breast cancer operated from Jan. 2011 through August. 2012 by SSM under tumescent technique of local anaesthesia with the use of the LigaSure Impa...

Background: Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an auto-immune neuro-muscular disorder characterized by muscular fatigability and weakness of voluntary muscles. Thymectomy is the preferred method of treatment. Trans-sternal route is the standard approach to thymectomy, however, it necessitates general anaesthesia which is a challenge in MG and sternotomy fur...

Aim: Is to evaluate skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) by the use of mid-TRAM (Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous) flap (instead of conventional lower TRAM flap) with its added novel modification of inclusion and evertion of the umbilicus,as this is hypothesized to optimize aesthetic and therapeutic outco...

Aim: is to evaluate hypnotherapy as a possible treatment for Levator syndrome (L S) Methods: In a controlled study 44 patients with levator syndrome were randomly allocated to treatment with either hypnotherapy or traditional therapy over 50 weeks, both groups were comparable in regard to, age, sex, duration of symptoms and pretreatment mean pain s...
