Conclusions PPN are associated with poor short term prognosis. PPN occurs more in diabetic, heart failure, infracted patients and those who have complex lesions. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine)

Role of presepsin compared to C-reactive protein in sepsis diagnosis and prognostication
Publication date: Available online 16 February 2017 Source:The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine Author(s): Mohamed El-Saied El-Shafie, Khaled M. Taema, Moataz M. El-Hallag, Abdallah Mohamed Abdallah Kandeel Early identification of sepsis and its differentiation from non-infective SIRS are important for sepsis outcome. We intended to evaluate the use of presepsin in differentiating sepsis from noninfectious SIRS and its prognostic value compared to CRP. We included 31 patients (median age 60year old, 16 males) admitted with SIRS to El-Sahel Teaching Hospital, Egypt after excluding 21 patients with preadmissi...

Serum Cystatin C as a predictor of cardiac surgery associated-acute kidney injury in patients with normal preoperative renal functions. A prospective cohort study
Conclusion In patients with apparently normal renal functions, preoperative Cys C may be a predictor of post cardiac surgery AKI. In those patients, especially diabetics, Cys C may uncover subtle nephropathy which makes them more prone to AKI posed by stresses of cardiac surgery.

Significance of reciprocal ST segment depression in ST elevation myocardial infarction
Conclusion Reciprocal ST segment depression in acute myocardial infarction was associated with significant LV systolic dysfunction & greater extent of coronary artery disease. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine)

Commonly asked questions by critically ill patients relatives in Arabic countries
Conclusion: This study could provide a real help and guide to the physicians in the ICU and the patients families in the preparation for the families – physicians meetings, save the time lost in poor communication, decrease conflict, increase family satisfaction and help in decision-making process.

Histogram bandwidth is a better predictor than Echocardiographic Tissue Doppler peak systolic velocity for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy response
Conclusion Histogram bandwidth of GMPS Tc99m sestamibi may be more predictive of significant response to CRT as compared to TDI. (Source: The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine)

2-D Speckle tracking in the assessment of left and right ventricular functions in hemodialysis versus recently diagnosed uremic patients with preserved systolic function
Publication date: Available online 9 September 2016 Source:The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine Author(s): Hatem Abdel Rahman Helmy Ali, Nady Abdel Razik Mohamad, Hanan Sharaf El-Deen Mohammad, Samir Kamal Abdul Hamid Several studies have demonstrated that uremic patients who have preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function could still have subtle systolic dysfunction. In our study, we assessed the right ventricular (RV) and LV myocardial functions measured by conventional echocardiography and two-dimensional (2D) longitudinal speckle-tracking in hemodialysis and non-dialysis recently diagnosed uremic...
