This study examined risk factors for post-transplant erythrocytosis (PTE) in 235 kidney transplant recipients. The results showed that being male significantly increased the risk of developing PTE. Patients with polycystic kidney disease or glomerulonephritis also had a higher risk. While smoking was associated with PTE, further analysis revealed this was likely due to the relationship between smoking and male sex rather than a direct effect. The study did not find significant relationships between PTE and other factors like hypertension, diabetes, transplant organ source, or immunosuppressant regimen.
Migraine is a common type of severe headache that affects 12-28% of people aged 15-55 worldwide. It often causes moderate to severe throbbing pain on one side of the head along with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. While the exact cause is unclear, migraines involve changes in brain activity and blood vessel dilation that are triggered by factors like stress, hormones, food sensitivities and environmental changes. Treatment focuses on preventing migraines through lifestyle modifications, medications and alternative therapies as well as stopping attacks once they begin using over-the-counter or prescription pain relievers and anti-nausea drugs.
The document discusses stress and how to manage it. It explains that stress is the body's response to perceived threats and dangers, causing physiological changes like increased heart rate and breathing. It provides a table to calculate one's stress level based on recent life events, with a score over 250 considered overstressed. Managing stress involves identifying stressors, reducing exposure, and practicing relaxation techniques.
Dr. Hooshang Saberi is a neurosurgeon in Iran who led the first team in Iran to successfully transplant Schwann cells to repair spinal cord injuries. The team has now treated over 60 patients, with about a 60% success rate of improved neurological function. Dr. Saberi was interested in this research due to seeing patients suffering from spinal cord injuries. He conducted animal studies to test the hypothesis that Schwann cells could promote repair in the spinal cord like they do in the peripheral nervous system. This technique uses only Schwann cells for transplantation and represents a unique approach compared to research in other countries.

The document discusses plastic surgery, its benefits and risks. It interviews a plastic surgeon, Dr. Ali Manafi, about his experience and views on plastic surgery. He notes that the most important factors for a successful procedure are choosing the right patient and surgical technique. While cosmetic surgery can improve self-esteem if done correctly, psychological disorders often underlie the desire for it and surgery will not satisfy patients with body dysmorphic disorder. Rhinoplasty is currently the most common cosmetic procedure performed.
The health system in Iraq has deteriorated significantly since 1991 due to war, sanctions, and ongoing violence. The 2003 US/UK invasion exacerbated existing problems and added new issues like widespread mental health problems among soldiers and civilians. Rates of infant mortality, cancer, and birth defects have risen sharply due to exposure to depleted uranium, pollution, and lack of healthcare infrastructure and resources. The Iraqi health system that was once strong has been crippled by neglect, war, and violence, leaving the country facing a major public health crisis if issues are not addressed.

The fruit, bark, and leaves have demulcent, sedative, diuretic, expectorant, and laxative effects and can be used to treat conditions like gastritis, gastric congestion, whooping cough, bronchitis, and help expel worms. Applying various parts of the plant like the leaves or kernel milk can aid healing or induce sleep. However, the peach stone contains cyanide and should be avoided.
This study compared the effects of subcutaneous wound infiltration versus intravenous administration of tramadol after pyelolithotomy surgery. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive either subcutaneous tramadol infiltration at the wound site or intravenous tramadol. Patients who received subcutaneous infiltration had lower sedation scores, less severe pain, and required less opioid pain medication compared to those who received intravenous tramadol. Subcutaneous administration also resulted in fewer reports of nausea and vomiting. The study concluded that subcutaneous wound infiltration of tramadol provides superior postoperative analgesia and fewer side effects than intravenous administration after this type of surgery.
