preceptor decided to start the patient on Clozapine because of its effectiveness with previous clients that had tardive dyskinesia. According to my preceptor, Clozapine has shown signs of minimizing symptoms of tardive dyskinesia. Treatment did not start immediately as the patient had to get baseline labs, which included absolute neutraphil count, blood glucose, and lipid levels. Patient's weight, height, and BMI were also obtained. AIMS scale was not used with this patient as it does not include tremors
Out of 100 patients studied in this research, the age incidence varies between 12 to 47 years, the maximum incidence of acute appendicitis was found in age group of 21- 40 years [56 patients (56%)], followed by age group of ≤20 years [28 patients (28%)] and lastly the age group of 41-60 years [16 patients (16%)]. Regarding to sex, males were more than females [68 males (68%) vs 32 females (32%) with a ratio of 2.13:1 respectively]. Married patients were suffering from acute appendicitis
Urethral stricture in male patients is a troublesome complication causing a great morbidity. Its management includes different treatment modalities e.g. repeated dilatation, internal urethrotomy, stent placement, and urethroplasty. Internal urethrotomy is a safe first line treatment, with an overall primary success rate of 60–70% but, the low success rate (approximately 30 to 35%) and the high recurrence rate of stricture (ranging from 20% to 60%) despite treatment have prompted the search for
the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory disorders range from mild and self-limiting such as the common cold, to life threatening entities like acute asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis and lung cancer. [1] The study of respiratory diseases is known as pulmonology. A doctor who specializes in respiratory diseases is known as a pulmonologist. Introduction
issue of men with urethritis and women with cervicitis. In fact, only 19% to 41% of men with recurrent urethritis have M. genitalium (Jensen, et. al., 2014). Clinical studies show that their is a concordance rate between partners ranging from 45% to 58% for female to male index patients and 38% to 56% of male to female index patients (Anderson, et. al., 2006). These statistics support the idea that the chance of two partners being infected is relatively high. This poses a problem for
detected in postoperative TME specimen is a corner stone in staging. Lymph node number detected should not be less than 12 lymph nodes. Material and methods: 37 Egyptian patients diagnosed with rectal carcinoma were included in this retrospective study. 28 patients received neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy while the remaining 9 cases did not. Total mesorectal excision was done by the same colorectal surgeon. The specimens of TME were examined to retrieve the lymph nodes. Results: lymph nodes harvested
In a study, published from the Journal of the American Medical Association, scientists found an overgrowth in the development of brain cells in autistic brains. During the brain development, 250000 neurons are added every minute, which shows that a child in the age of two years, the brain is about 80% the size of an adult brain. In an autistic brain, the development of an autistic brain reaches an overgrowth, which means the brain of a two-year-old child suffering from autism has already 67% more
