    Abstract Background: Patients' and their mothers' quality of life is severely affected by childhood psoriasis. Almost all children have a chronic illness that lasts until adulthood, which puts them at risk for lifelong difficulties like stigma, psychiatric comorbidity, and suicide.
    Objective: Evaluation of the effects of childhood psoriasis on the mothers' quality of life was the project's primary objective.
    Subjects and methods: 100 mothers of children with various kinds of psoriasis participated in the study. The Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI) was used to evaluate the mothers' quality of life.
    Results: The mother's FDLQI score was between 3 and 25, with a mean of 13. In terms of how the FDLQI was interpreted, 8 moms had an incredibly enormous impact, 63 mothers had a very significant impact, 26 mothers had a moderate impact, and 3 mothers had a modest impact. We discovered a substantial direct link between the mother's FDLQI and the children's PASI scores. Furthermore, we discovered that scalp and pustular psoriasis had the highest FDLQI scores, indicating a poor quality of life.
    Conclusion: Both the quality of life for affected children and their cares may be negatively impacted by childhood psoriasis. Age of the children, PASI score, and kind of psoriasis can all have an impact on how psoriasis in childhood affects the mother.

    Abstract Bleomycin is an effective antibiotic with a significant anticancer properties, but its use is limited due to its potential to induce dose-dependent pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of Capsaicin as an additional treatment to enhance patient tolerance to Bleomycin compared to the antifibrotic drug Pirfenidone. Pulmonary fibrosis was induced in rats through by a single intratracheal Bleomycin administration in day zero, followed by either Capsaicin or Pirfenidone treatment for 7 days. After the animals were sacrificed, their lungs were dissected and examined using various stains for macroscopic and histopathological evaluation. Additionally, the study assessed various antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic parameters were assessed. Rats exposed to Bleomycin exhibited visible signs of fibrosis, histopathological alterations, increased collagen deposition, and elevated mucin content. Bleomycin also led to heightened increased inflammatory cells infiltration in the bronchoalveolar lavage, elevated fibrosis biomarkers such as hydroxyproline, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1), increased inflammatory markers including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interlukine-6 (Il-6), interlukine-1β (Il-1β) nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1),. Furthermore, it reduced the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), increased oxidative stress biomarkers like nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and protein carbonyl. Bleomycin also decreased the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2), reduced glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant capacity, and the activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Treating the animals with Capsaicin and Pirfenidone following Bleomycin exposure resulted in improved lung macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, reduced collagen deposition (collagen I and collagen III) and mucin content, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration, lowered levels of hydroxyproline, α-SMA, and TGF-β1, decreased TNF-α, Il-6, Il-1β, NF-κB, and COX-2, increased PPAR-γ and Nrf-2 expression, and improvement improved in all oxidative stress biomarkers. In summary, Capsaicin demonstrates significant antifibrotic activity against Bleomycin-induced lung injury that may be attributed, at least in part, to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Capsaicin mediated by upregulation of PPAR-γ and Nrf-2 expression and decreasing. TGF-β1, NF-κB and COX II proteins concentrations.

    Abstract Purpose: Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is a rising health problem. The incidence of EOCRC has increased over the past 2 decades all over the world. Reports from Egypt since the 1990s have reported a higher incidence among young populations with no identifiable risk factors. The aim of this study was to assess EOCRC in Egypt regarding incidence, characteristics, treatment pattern, and survival compared with average age onset and elderly patients.
    Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, record-based, cohort study combining data from four different cancer centers in Egypt. We grouped patients according to age into three categories: the EOCRC group for patients age ≤45 years and the average age onset and elderly cancer group (for patients age ≥65 years).
    Results: The study included 1,310 patients with histopathologically proven colorectal cancer, representing four different geographical areas in Egypt. Patients with EOCRC represented 42.4% of the study population. Female patients were 50.6% among the EOCRC group and 52.5% among the average age group. Rectal tumors were significantly higher in EOCRC (54.7%
    Conclusion: A comprehensive framework for the study of EOCRC is required in Egypt as well as a genomic analysis to identify possible underlying genetic alterations responsible for the high incidence of EOCRC.

    Abstract Background and aim: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by persistent lowgrade inflammation. Soluble CD14 (sCD14) is involved in many pathological conditions, including inflammation and atherosclerosis. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between sCD14 levels, subclinical atherosclerosis (SCA), inflammation and mortality in Egyptian hemodialysis (HD) patients.
    Patients and methods: The present longitudinal study included 62 HD patients. All patients were submitted to careful history taking, thorough clinical examination and laboratory assessment for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and sCD14. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was also assessed. Patients were followed for a maximum of 18 months. The primary outcome is patients' mortality. Data were statistically analyzed using standard descriptive, comparative, correlative and regression methods.
    Results: The present study was conducted on 62 HD patients. They comprised 34 males and 28 females with an age of 54.6 ± 9.0 years. At the end of follow-up, 12 patients (19.4 %) died. It was shown that survivors had significantly lower hsCRP levels (104.2 ± 38.2 versus 134.1 ± 15.3 mg/dL, p < 0.001), lower sCD14 levels (32.7 ± 10.3 versus 47.4 ± 18.4 μg/mL, p = 0.02) and lower CIMT (1.32 ± 0.5 versus 1.5 ± 0.2 mm, p = 0.049). sCD14 levels were significantly correlated with hsCRP (r = 0.4, p = 0.001) and CIMT (r = 0.31, p = 0.013). Multivariate analysis identified HD duration [HR (95% CI): 1.02 (1.0-1.04), p = 0.021] and sCD14 levels [HR (95% CI): 1.06 (1.0-1.12), p = 0.026] as significant predictors of patients' survival.
    Conclusions: sCD14 levels in this cohort of HD patients are well-correlated with hsCRP levels and CIMT. In addition, they are significant predictors of patients' mortality.

    Abstract Eimeriosis is a global poultry health problem. In the current study, we investigated the role of Salvadora persica leaf extracts (SE) against murine eimeriosis induced by Eimeria papillata. The infection induced an oocyst output of 6242 ± 731 oocysts/g feces. After treatment with 300 mg⁄kg SE, the oocysts expelled in feces decreased by approximately 3-fold. In addition, the total number of E. papillata in the parasitic stage decreased in the jejunum of mice after treatment with SE. In addition, SE significantly reduced the number of apoptotic cells by approximately 2-fold in the infected jejunum. SE ameliorated the changes in glutathione, malondialdehyde, and catalase due to E. papillata infection. Finally, SE regulated the cytokine genes, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, interferon-γ, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and the apoptotic genes, B-cell lymphoma-2, Bax, and Caspase-3. SE protects the jejunum from E. papillata induced injury and may have potential therapeutic value as a food additive during eimeriosis.

    Abstract Drought is a serious abiotic stress, causes worldwide intensive reduction in crop growth and productivity. Plants in contrast to other organisms, do not enjoy the luxury of being able to change their environment or seeking shelters. In this investigation, wheat grains were pre-soaked for 12h in salicylic acid (SA) and/or thiourea (ThU) prior they were left to grow in dry land (40% field water capacity) until harvest. The bio-safety of the harvested wheat was deduced using technical physiological and spectral methods. The pretreatment using SA up to ( approximately 1.5mmol) viewed homologous protein profile and less flag leaf proline in comparison to the non-stressed wheat. In addition, SA-pretreatment has maintained 70% of the emission intensity of yielded grain. The spectra of FTIR were more or less similar in yielded grain and flag leaf in SA-pretreatment. On the other hand, ThU pretreatment induced varied protein profile, higher proline than normal, reduced the fluorescence emission intensity by 52%, and induced varied FTIR spectra. Pretreatment of SA not only has enhanced wheat productivity but also increased yield and straw productions even above the non-treated-non-stressed wheat plant. In contrast to ThU SA was considered safe for drought-stress alleviation in crop plant agriculture.
