CI seems to be in the spectrum of SUI and POP. CI is almost invariably a symptom of SUI with urethral sphincter incompetence, even when it occurs during orgasm. Many women with DOA leak during sex; however, the potential role of associated urethral incompetence should be considered.
Purpose: To report the clinical experience of uveitis associated with Behçet's disease in a cohort of Egyptian patients. Methods: The present study is a retrospective analysis of the medical charts of patients with Behçet's disease, who were referred to a tertiary eye care center in Egypt between June 2010 and June 2018. Results: The current study included 1301 eyes of 681 patients with Behçet's disease. The mean age of the patients at the time of referral was 27.2 ± 3.9 years. Panuveitis was the most common presentation. About 28% of all involved eyes had a final visual acuity <20/200, by the last follow-up visit. Conclusion: Behçet's disease is an important cause of uveitis in Egypt, and despite the fact that the prognosis of Behçet's uveitis has globally improved in recent years, the visual outcome in Egypt is still not favorable especially in case of delayed referral to tertiary centers.
Background: Tuberculosis is resurging both in the developing and developed worlds. This includes TB of the central nervous system which is more common in children. It carries a high mortality rate and can lead to significant levels of neurological morbidity. Magnetic resonance imaging offers the potential to diagnose intracranial tuberculoma and to differentiate it from other single hyper dense intracranial lesions. Methods: The authors report thirteen patients who proved to have intracranial tuberculoma with emphasis on their magnetic resonance imaging. They all presented with varying degrees of raised intracranial pressure. All the thirteen patients had a CT scan which showed a single hyper dense lesion. After contrast the density of the lesions increased. To confirm the diagnosis of intracranial tuberculomas and to differentiate it from intracranial single hyper dense lesions, conventional pre and post contrast MRI imagining followed by FLAIR sequences and diffusionweighted echo-planner imagining (EPI) was carried out. Results: All our patients were treated by corticosteroids for eight weeks and anti-tuberculous medication for a minimum period of twelve months. The treatment was successful in all our patients and none required surgery. Conclusions: Early and clear diagnosis of intracranial tuberculoma can be achieved by MRI imaging including flair sequences and diffusion-weighted Echo-planner imaging, (EPI). This leads to early treatment and better outcomes of tuberculosis of the central nervous system. Trial registration: This study was not registered as a trial because it is a retrospective study that does not include any involvement in the management or follow-up of patients and as such did not require registering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
