  • Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis secondary to anti-GBM disease associated with MPO-ANCA: a case report

    • Authors: Isaza-Meza, Mariana;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Afanador-Rubio, Diana Carolina; Huérfano-Castro, Manuel Alejandro; Ramírez-Correa, Ivon; Flórez-Vargas, Adriana Alejandra (2023)

  • Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease, also known as "Goodpasture syndrome," is an autoimmune vasculitis that affects small vessels through the deposit of IgG antibodies against the glomerular and alveolar basal membranes which are visualized as linear deposits in the GBM. The target of these autoantibodies is the non-collagen-1 domain of type IV collagen on the GBM, which presents changes in the structure of the α-345 hexamer, leading to a conformational change that triggers an autoimmune response (Gulati and McAdoo 2018). ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAVs) is a necrotizing vasculitis with few-to-none immune deposits, also affecting small vessels, and is associated with specific antibodies for myeloperoxidase (MPO-ANCA) or proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA)

  • Microbial bioremediation as a tool for the removal of heavy metals

    • Authors: Mohamed I. Abo-Alkasem,;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Hassan, Ne’mat H.; Elsoud, Mostafa Mostafa Abo (2023)

  • The world accelerated industrial revolution and the uses of natural resources during metal mining and industry have a great impact on the environment due to heavy metal pollution. Today, one of the most destructive effects facing the world is the contamination with heavy metals, which reaches the air, soil, and water (Asha and Sandeep 2013; Raghunandan et al. 2014, 2018). Although trace concentrations of some metals have a vital effect on the health of living organisms, high levels of heavy metals represent toxic effects too (Ahemad 2019; Ahuti 2015). Also, heavy metals can hardly be degraded in the soil, so their complete detoxification represents a challenge to scientists. Despite the efforts spent to tackle the environmental pollution issue, the world still suffers from the hazar...

  • Subdural hematoma following dural puncture epidural anesthesia for labor analgesia: two case reports

    • Authors: Chou, Wendy;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Alam, Saamia; Bracero, Lucas; Schabel, Joy; Bergese, Sergio; Costa,Ana (2023)

  • Neuraxial anesthesia is widely used for labor analgesia in the USA. Techniques such as epidural and combined spinal–epidural have been used in modern obstetric anesthesia practices for years. The dural puncture epidural (DPE) technique has shown to provide better sacral analgesia for patients in labor compared to epidural anesthesia, and with fewer maternal and fetal side effects compared to combined spinal–epidural technique

  • COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy: a systematic review of barriers to the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine among adults in Nigeria

    • Authors: Babatope, Tolulope;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Ilyenkova, Vera; Marais, Debbi (2023)

  • A total of 161 records identified from the four databases were exported into Rayyan systematic review software and duplicates were removed, leaving 148 records to be screened (Fig. 2). The kappa test of inter-rater agreement between reviewers was 0.83. Full-text screening was conducted to further assess the remaining 23 articles for eligibility before data extraction. Eight articles were excluded mainly due to being the wrong publication type (n = 4) or having the wrong outcome (n = 4). At the end of the process, 15 articles were eligible for inclusion in the review with an inter-rater agreement of κ = 0.95.
