Pattern of intra-peritoneal intra-abdominal injuries in polytrauma patients admitted to general surgery department at El-Demerdash Hospital
ConclusionPolytrauma is a major health problem and a major cause of death in Egypt. 40 trauma cases were admitted to general surgery department. 80% of them were males and 20% were females. The mean age of trauma victims was 33.3 years old. 42.5% of them had surgeries. The study recorded 7.5% fatalities. (Source: QJM)

Effect of Balance Training Versus Stretching Relaxation Exercise in Memory and Spatial Cognition Enhancement on Healthy Adults
ConclusionIn sum, we are able to conclude that 6 weeks of balance training in healthy adults has positive effects on memory and spatial cognition, and an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness does not seem to be necessary to induce beneficial effects of physical exercise on cognition. From an applied perspective, balance training might represent a promising alternative intervention for individuals who are not able to participate in aerobic training following health restrictions.

Detection of TNF- α as a Cofactor in the Pathogenesis of Nasal Polypi
ConclusionAccording to scientific evidence on TNF- α gene promoter G/A 308 polymorphism in Egypt, it seems that the pattern of genotypic distribution in all areas is the same. However, we found the greater amount of allele A in this study compared with the control group, and the occurrence of G/A genotype related to NP but for more valid results, a larger sample size is necessary. However on our results this polymorphism might be considered as a risk factor of susceptibility of NP in Egyptian people. (Source: QJM)

Risk Factors of Stuttering
ConclusionThe data of the present study concluded that the presence of stuttering or defects in speech quality and communication. Risk factors include multifactorial dynamic pathways that include: positive family history, being male (as boys are more likely than girls to keep stuttering), the onset (as children who start to stutter before age 3 ½ are more likely to outgrow it than children who start to stutter at an older age), the amount of time that it's lasted.

Prevalence of Dysphagia in Dysphonic Patients with Non-Neoplastic Vocal Fold Lesions
ConclusionThe present study showed that non-neoplastic vocal fold lesions are not an etiological factor for dysphagia despite the intricacy in the neuromuscular supply of pharynx and larynx. Diagnosis of Dysphagia can ’t be confirmed depending only on subjective screening tools like A-EAT-10. (Source: QJM)

Study of Retinal and Choroidal Changes in Children with Sickle Cell Disease using Optical Coherence Tomography and Angiography
ConclusionSD-OCT and OCTA were able to detect areas of thinning and decreased vascular densities in asymptomatic sickle cell children. This study demonstrated a decreased vessel density on OCTA but a normal retinal thickness on SD-OCT in some of the parafoveal sucfields. This suggests that OCTA can detect microvascular abnormalities and retinopathy early even before it is visible on OCT. Further longitudinal studies are needed to examine the vascular densities and retinal and choroidal thinning in sickle cell disease children and their correlation with the various disease parameters.

Effect of using smart phones on balance functions
ConclusionsThe smart phone use can affect the balance function in healthy subjects and augment the deficit in those with balance problem. Reducing visual fatigue should be considered through various procedures as taking proper rest, adjusting the brightness of screen, avoid any wrong posture and using filters if possible. (Source: QJM)

Evaluation Of Central Auditory Function In Migraine Patients
ConclusionsPatients with migraine and vestibular migraine had poor performance in all central auditory tests when compared with control this mean that migraine lead to impaired central auditory processing in adults. Also, there was no significant difference between the 2 study groups regarding central auditory test results which may support that both migraine with and without dizziness have the same pathophysiology.
