Method: A case control analytical study was conducted at Alsir Abu Hassan fertility center in Khartoum State, included 100 blood samples, 50 samples from women with PCOS and 50 from apparently health individual as contro...

Relationship Between Helicobacter Pylori Seropositive Patients And Throat Infection

ABSTRACT The most common complaint among patients in the out-patient clinics are sore throat, and the most frequent diagnosis is chronic non-specific pharyngitis. Chronic pharyngitis is still controversial. Helicobacter pylori, besides being the major cause of chronic gastritis, might also be involved in playing role in the upper respiratory tract infection. This study aimed to determine the relationship between H. pylori infection and throat infection and its possible role in the etiology a...

Characterization of Myocardial Infarction and Therapeutic Response using Echocardiography

ABSTRACT The term "myocardial infarction" focuses on the myocardium (the heart muscle) and the changes that occur in it due to the sudden deprivation of circulating blood. The main change is necrosis (death) of myocardial tissue. The word "infarction" comes from the Latin "infarcire" meaning "to plug up or cram." It refers to the clogging of the artery. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major health problem, with relatively high rates of morbidity and mortality. Among epidemiologists, there has...
