Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a disorder caused by antibodies from mother that pass through the placenta and attack red blood cells of fetus. Although other blood groups may potentially be implicated, Rh or ABO blood group incompatibility are the most common cause of this illness. Even though they are rarely linked to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, minor blood group incompatibilities resulting from blood types other than Rh (D) are considered risk for significant jaundice and its complications in neonates if they are not properly identified and treated. In order to help clinicians reduce infant morbidity and improve overall patient care, the study's goal was to identify instances at elevated risk.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Yield of Double-Balloon Endoscopy in Small Bowel Diseases: A Prospective Cohort Study

Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are life-threatening diseases caused by immunologically mediated cell adhesion compromise in the skin and mucous membranes. Proposed diagnosis of AIBDs on a clinicopathological basis usually requires confirmation by other sophisticated and expensive laboratory facilities. This emphasizes the urgency of a simple, approachable and cost-effective method to clarify the diagnosis of AIBDs. This work aimed to outline the distinguishing trichoscopic characters of some immunobullous disorders [pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and bullous pemphigoid (BP)] in a group of Upper Egyptian patients and to examine any potential connections between these features and certain disease aspects. Sixty patients with AIBDs affecting the scalp were included. Twenty-nine patients were diagnosed as PV, seventeen patients were PF and fourteen were diagnosed as …
