Intussusception in Newborns: Diagnostic Challenges in Tanzania’s Limited-Resource Settings
Introduction Intussusception—the telescoping of one part of the intestine into another—remains a critical cause of intestinal obstruction in young children. While most cases occur in infants aged 3 months to 2 years, early recognition in newborns is essential to prevent severe complications. In Tanzania, as in many limited-resource settings, delayed diagnosis and management pose substantial…

First Nomogram-Based Fetal Cardiac Measurements for 14–36 Weeks in North-Eastern Egypt: A Population-Based Study
Introduction: Filling a Gap in Fetal Cardiac Reference Ranges Understanding normal growth patterns of fetal cardiovascular structures is essential for early detection of subtle cardiac abnormalities. This study, conducted in the north-eastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate), provides gestational age–specific reference ranges and nomograms for a comprehensive set of fetal cardiac dimensions from 14+6 to 36+6…

First Trial of Fetal Cardiac Nomograms in Northeastern Egypt: Establishing GA-Specific References (14–36 Weeks)
Overview Researchers conducted the first trial to develop normal reference ranges and nomograms for fetal cardiac measurements in the northeastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate). The study focused on pregnancies between 14+6 and 36+6 weeks of gestation, using two-dimensional echocardiography to assess 23 cardiac dimensions in 900 low-risk singleton pregnancies. The aim was to define growth…

Fetal Cardiac Nomograms in Egyptian Pregnancies: A Northeastern Cairo Study
Introduction: Building a reference for fetal heart measurements Understanding normal fetal cardiac development is essential for early detection of subtle heart abnormalities. A recent cross‑sectional study in the north‑eastern Egyptian population (Qalyubiyya Governorate) fills a crucial gap by establishing gestational‑age (GA) specific reference ranges and nomograms for 23 fetal echocardiographic measurements in low‑risk singleton pregnancies.…

Dense Breasts: How to Identify Density and Your Cancer Risk
Understanding breast density and what it means Breast density refers to the mix of tissue in your breasts: fatty tissue versus glandular and fibrous tissue. A higher proportion of dense tissue means your breasts are denser. Density is common: roughly 40–50% of women over 40 have dense breasts when they undergo mammography. On a mammogram,…

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Identifying Dense Breasts and Their Cancer Risk
Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the invisible risk of dense breasts October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a period to highlight rising global incidence and the stark differences in survival. Among the less-visible risk factors is breast density—a common condition that can increase cancer risk and make tumors harder to detect on standard mammograms. Understanding…

Dense Breasts and Cancer Risk: A Practical Guide to Detecting Density
Understanding Dense Breasts and Why They Matter October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to spotlight breast health and the importance of early detection. Among the varied risk factors, breast density is one of the most common and least visible. Dense breast tissue is rich in glandular and fibrous tissue and contains less fat.…
