أجريت هذه الدراسة لتحديد مدى انتشار قصور الغدد التناسلية بين المراهقين من مرضى التلاسيميا العظمى ( (β، ودور أدوية إزالة الحديد في الوقاية منه. تم جمع البيانات من (60) من مرضي التلاسيميا العظمى((β و(35) شخصا سليما تتراوح أعمارهم بين 13 و 30 عامًا من خلال الاستبانة ومراجعه السجلات الطبية لجمع الخصائص الاجتماعية والديمغرافية ، نظام نقل الدم, تاريخ البدء باستخدام أدوية ازالة الحديد ومدى الانتظام بأخذها وحالة البلوغ. كذلك تم إجراء العديد من التحاليل التي شملت تحليل الدم الكامل, تركيز الفريتين في الدم واختبارات وظائف الغدة النخامية و الغدد التناسلية بحيث تمت جميعها في الصباح الساعة (08.00 –9.00 صباحا) بعد ليلة من الصيام , و أسبوع الى أسبوعين من نقل الدم. تحليل البيانات تم باستخدام تحليل الانحدار اللوجستي ,اختبار (ت) للعينات المستقلة واختبار كاي المربع. أظهرت النتائج أن معدل انتشار قصور الغدد التناسلية لدى مرضى التلاسيميا العظمى((β في قطاع غزة يصل إلى 75 ٪ , وقد كان تركيز الفريتين لدى المرضى حوالى 6704.83 ± 2849جم /مل وكان جميعهم لهم تركيز الفريتين أعلى من 2000 جم/مل مما يشير إلى زيادة شديدة في الحديد لديهم. ومن خلال تحليل الانحدار اللوجستي تبين أن انخفاض مستوى الهيموغلوبين (p = 0.006) ، وارتفاع مستوى الفريتين (p = 0.018) ، وارتفاع نقل الدم سنويًا (24 عمليات نقل دم) (p = 0.007) ، وسوء الالتزام بأدوية إزالة الحديد (p = 0.001) هي من أهم العوامل المسببة لقصور الغدد التناسلية وتخلص هذه الدراسة إلى أن قصور الغدد التناسلية منتشر بشكل كبير بين مرضى التلاسيميا العظمى((β في قطاع غزة, ويرتبط وجودها بانخفاض قيم الهيموجلوبين، زيادة تركيز الحديد في الدم، ارتفاع معدل نقل الدم وانخفاض الالتزام باستخدام أدوية إزالة الحديد
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of hypogonadism among β-Thalassemia Major (β-TM) adolescent patients, and the role of iron chelation therapy (ICT) in its prevention. Data was collected from 60 β-TM patients and 35 controls aged 13─ 30 years through a questionnaire and a review of medical history to collect sociodemographic characteristics, transfusion regimen, chelating history and pubertal status. Complete blood count, serum ferritin, and pituitary-gonadal function tests were analyzed 1–2 weeks after blood transfusion. Logistic regression, independent t-test, and chi-square test were used to analyze our results and the significance was tested at p≤ 0.05. The overall prevalence of hypogonadism among β-TM patients was 75%, the mean of serum ferritin was 6704.83± 2849 ng/ml and all patients had serum ferritin above 2000 ng/ml indicating a severe iron overload. Low hemoglobin level (p=0.006), high ferritin level (p=0.018), high blood transfusion per year (24-blood transfusions) (p=0.007), and poor compliance to iron chelation therapy programs (p=0.001), were detected had significant partial effect in hypogonadism. In conclusion, hypogonadism is highly prevalent among Gaza strip β-TM patients. Its presence being associated with lower hemoglobin values, iron overload, high blood transfusion and low compliance of iron chelation therapy

Parvovirus B19 infects children and adults , causing erythema infectiosum in children , polyarthritis in adults, aplastic crisis and chronic anemia in patients with hematological or immunological disorders, and fetal hydrops or fetal death .
113 psoriatic patients participated in the study. The patients were selected from the Dermatology and Venereology department at Alasad hospital in Lattakia city between 2012-2013 years. Mycological examination was carried out in all patients showing
psoriatic nail changes .The aim of the study is to evaluate : the frequency of nail changes in psoriatic patients, the frequency of onychomychosis in patients with nail psoriasis and the factors that may have a role in the incidence of onychomcosis in patients with nail psoriasis.
Nail changes were seen in (61.9%) of psoriatic patients (70 patients). Positive mycological cultures were obtained from 34 patients (48.6%). There was an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis in patients with high levels of NAPSI and long duration of psoriasis and nail psoriasis. There was a relationship between onychomycosis and the age of the patient. We found an increase of the incidence of onychomycosis among the patients who had a systemic therapy for psoriasis (methotrexate,cyclosporine) and the patients who had a history of contusion on nails. There was no relationship between onychomychosis and the gender of the patient.
This study confirmed that onychomycosis may occur in patients with nail psoriasis
Background:Microscopic colitis (MC) encompasses collagenous and lymphocytic
colitis and is diagnosed by histopathological changes of random biopsies which tacken
from each segment of normal macroscopically colonic mucosae from patients who have
ch
ronic watery diarrhea of unknown etiology.
Aims:Prevalence of microscopic colitis in patients with chronic watery diarrhea and
have endoscopically normal colon .
Materials and Methods:We prospectively enrolled 84 patients reviewed in
ALASSAD and TISHREEN HOSPITALS between March 2015 until June 2016 .These
patients were having watery diarrhea more than 3 times a day for more 4 weeks. Atotal 84
patients were enrolled for a total colonoscopy until terminal ileum . Two biopsies were
obtained from all colonic segments and terminal ileum for diagnosed of microscopic
colitis. On histopathologic examination, criteria for lymphocytic colitis (intraepithelial
lymphocyte ≥ 20 per 100 surface epithelial cells, change in surface epithelium,
mononuclear infiltration of the lamina propria) and collagenous colitis (subepithelial
collagen band thickness ≥ 10 μm) were explored.
Results:Microscopic colitis was diagnosed in 33 (39%)patients {22lymphocytic
colitis,11collagenous colitis} . Female/Male: 15/18, mean age at diagnosis of microscopic
colitis : 37 year, range: 20-69, the median duration of diarrhea: 9.5 monthes , the median
number of bowel movements per day:5 times .And the common symptoms are:
abdominal pain and flatulence.
Conclusion :Biopsy of Syrian patients with the diagnosis of chronic watery diarrhea
of unknown etiology and normal colonoscopic findings will reveal microscopic colitis in
approximately 39% of the patients. Lymphocytic colitis is two times more frequent than
collagenous colitis in these patients.
Background: Diabetes mellitus type2 (T2DM) and thyroid dysfunction (TD) are the
two most common endocrine disorders in clinical practice. The unrecognized TD may
adversely affect the metabolic control and add more risk to an already predisposing
s
cenario for cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the
prevalence of TD in patients with type2 diabetes mellitus.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and patterns of thyroid dysfunction in
patients with type2 diabetes mellitus.
Material and methods: Study included total 362 subjects (204 type2 diabetic patients
and 158 healthy non diabetic subjects). Agroup of type2 diabetic patients and control group
were evaluated for thyroid dysfunction by testing TSH and FT4 when TSH was abnormal.
The correlation of prevalence of thyroid disorder with gender distribution, age distribution,
duration of diabetes, BMI, treatment, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum triglyceride and
serum cholesterol was then done in diabetic patients. The observations and interpretations
were recorded and results obtained were statistically analyzed.
Results: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among type2 diabetic patients was
found to be 13,2%. In the control group, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 6,3%.
There was a significant difference between diabetics and control subjects p= 0,031.The
most frequently TD in type2 diabetic patients was subclinical hypothyroidism (8,3%).
Thyroid dysfunction was significantly correlated with gender (women > man), age < 60
years, FPG > 130mg/dl, TG > 150mg/dl and insulin treatment in type2 diabetic patients.
Conclusion: Screening of thyroid dysfunction shoud be done in all Type2 diabetic
patients.
