Death penalty in Egypt: Form of justice or permitted practice of murder?
No full textThis audio documentary revolves around the various aspects of the application of the death penalty in Egypt to figure out whether this verdict is as an effective method to combat serious crimes in Egypt. It focuses on both the religion and political aspects of the death penalty. For this audio documentary, I interviewed my Professor Mostafa El-Sayed, Abdallah Wageeh, Professor Mohamed Serage, Priest Adel Mansour and Professor Reem Saad

Correlation between Coronary Artery Diseases and Dyslipidemia in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
No full textBackground: Premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a significant association with diabetes mellitus. There are numerous studies showing that decreasing cholesterol is effective in improving cardiovascular outcomes in people with diabetes. Objective: This study aimed to identify the correlation between coronary artery diseases (CADs) and dyslipidemia in diabetic patients.Patients and methods: In the Cardiology Department of Zagazig University Hospitals we conducted this case-control study. 140 patients with type 2 DM were divided into two groups: Group 1 included 70 people with type 2 diabetes who had CADs and group 2 that included 70 patients with type 2 DM who had no signs of CADs (admitted complaining of symptoms of angina or CA showing no significant stenotic lesions). Angiographic examination and fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose levels were performed for all patients. Moreover, comprehensive history was taken, cardiovascular risk profiles and laboratory investigations such as glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were done.Results: CAD group were significantly higher regarding BMI as it was distributed as 28.77 ± 2.3 and 30.04 ± 3.03 between No-CAD and CAD respectively. There was no significant difference or association between smoking or hypertension and CAD. SBP and DBP were significantly higher among CAD. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c were significantly higher among CAD group than in No-CAD group. CAD group showed significantly higher TG and LDLc distribution than No-CAD group.Conclusion: Increased triglycerides and decreased HDL levels were associated with CVD among diabetic patients
In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients, the Atherogenic Index of Plasma as a Marker of Coronary Artery Diseases
No full textOne-third of all deaths globally are caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD), and this percentage is predicted to climb as CVD risk factors become more widespread. Primary prevention of risk factors is the most fundamental duty in dealing with the CVD epidemic. The link between atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and other CVD risks among university workers was investigated among study participants in order to demonstrate that AIP, not lipid profile, is a better predictor of CVDs. They discovered a link between AIP and CVD risk variables (body mass index, visceral fat, body fat, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol) in people with type 2 diabetes. This comparative study was carried out in Cardiology Department, Zagazig University Hospitals. This study included 140 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. They were classified into 2 main groups: Group 1: 70 patients with type 2 diabetes who had coronary artery disease (CAD). Group (2): 70 type 2 diabetes individuals with no indicators of CAD (admitted complaining of symptoms of angina or CA showing no significant stenotic lesions). Regarding study explained it has showed that AIP outperforms standard lipid indicators in predicting the likelihood ofdeveloping CADs in people with type 2 diabetes. In addition, the value of AIP in diabetic and prediabetic patients for predicting future CVD is being investigated. They came to the conclusion that AIP is an excellent predictor of future CVD in those with diabetes and those who are prediabetic
Streptomyces lavendulae Protease Inhibitor: Purification, Gene Overexpression, and 3-Dimensional Structure
No full textProtease inhibitors trypsin (STI1, Streptomyces trypsin inhibitor 1) has been identified, purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. SDS-PAGE of protease inhibitor showed molecular weight of approximately 10 KDa. PCR product (∼1615 bp) of sti1 gene was cloned in expression vector pACYC177/ET3d and transformed in Escherichia coli JM109. Protease inhibitors trypsin was purified and used as antivirus against Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). CVB3 is one of the major causative agents of chronic, subacute, acute, and fulminant myocarditis as well as pancreatitis and aseptic meningitis. It has been reported that more than 50% of human myocarditis is associated with CVB3 infection
