Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the risks associated with the sterilization process for reusable medical devices (RMD) in stomatology, by applying the FMECA method, with a view to implementing the necessary corrective and preventive actions necessary to secure this process.
Methods: The study, which was descriptive, took place between June and July 2024 in the medicine and dental surgery department of our hospital and concerned the moist heat sterilization process of RMD. The study began by defining its scope and the formation of the work team, followed by the functional analysis of the process, the identification of the failure modes (FM), the definition of the rating scales, the rating of the FM and finally the calculation of the criticality index and the development of the action plan.
The long-term risk of malignancy among renal transplant patients is approximately 100 times that of the general population. Unlike North America and many European countries, Kaposi's sarcoma is the most common cancer after renal transplantation in most series reported from the Middle East.

The aim of this study was to compare the renal function and acute rejection rates of kidney allograft recipients who were on two different mycophenolate mofetil doses.
Methods: In a prospective study, 59 allograft kidney recipients who were on MMF 2 g/d were randomly selected and followed for evidences of acute rejection or drug side effects.
