200 ml/24 h) and group 2 included 20 patients without RRF (defined as urine volume <200 ml/24 h).
Results: patients with preserved RRF had a positive significant correlation between QoL scores, male gender ,younger age, employment, higher BMI (p=0.006), higher hemoglobin (p=0.036), higher predialysis serum creatinine (p=0.033), less complication during HD sessions hypotenstion (p=0.003), hypertenstion(p=0.003), vomiting (p=0.017), cramps(p=0.010)and Less use of Phosphate binders and Erythropoietin dose (p=0.020).
Conclusion: HD patients with preserved RRF had better QoL scores compared to patients without RRF.Efforts to preserve RRF in HD patients could improve outcomes and should be encouraged.

30 years) were enrolled in this study. All patients were referred either from the screening clinic or the outpatient clinic of Eldemerdash Hospital with clinically suspicious findings and the abnormality was detected by mammography and/or ultrasound. Included masses are those with BI-RADS 5 category on imaging, with no previous biopsy or treatment. There was no knowledge about the histopathological diagnosis at the time of initial evaluation. Exclusion criteria were breast masses with diagnosed or proved benign features. All patients were scheduled for dynamic MRI with diffusion weighted imaging in addition to the conventional MR imaging.
Results: Histopathological analysis revealed all 25 lesions to be invasive ductal carcinomas not otherwise specified. Grading of included carcinomas was as follows: 3 lesions (12.0%) were grade I, 14 lesions (56.0%) were grade II and 8 lesions (32.0%) were grade III.
Conclusion: That makes DWI the best non-invasive tool available to predict grades of breast carcinoma. However, further larger and more detailed studies are still needed to fully understand the role MR imaging in distinguishing different histological grades of breast cancer.

48 hours. All patients were assessed clinically with haemodynamic and full laboratory monitoring, CRP, a PCT level and SOFA score were calculated in the1st and the 4th day of admission.Results: There was significant increase in PCT level between three groups and no significant difference between groups as regard CRP. According to SOFA score there was significant difference between three groups. There was a positive correlation between PCT level and SOFA Score (r = 0.924, P = 0.001) while there was no correlation between CRP and SOFA score (r = -0.233, P = 0.091).
Conclusion: PCT is a good diagnostic and prognostic marker of sepsis. PCT shows a closer correlation than that of CRP with the severity of infection and organ dysfunction.]]>
