Does the Insulin Pump Improve Satisfaction and Glycaemic Control in Moroccan Patients with Type 1 Diabetes?

Insulin pump therapy is recommended more and more to achieve and maintain optimal glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The objective of our study was to evaluate the satisfaction of patients using insulin pump therapy and to determine its effectiveness in improving metabolic control in type 1 diabetic patients. This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study including 20 type 1 diabetic patients treated by insulin pump, between 2017 and 2021.

From Oxetane to Thietane: Extending the Antiviral Spectrum of 2'-Spirocyclic Uridines by Substituting Oxygen with Sulfur.

In continuation of our efforts of finding novel nucleoside inhibitors for the treatment of viral diseases, we initiated a discovery research program aimed at identifying novel nucleos(t)ide inhibitors for emerging diseases like Dengue and Chikungunya. Based on the previously reported 2'-spiro-oxetane uridine derivatives active against Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), we envisaged its sulfur analogue as an interesting congener both from a synthetic as well as biological point of view. Surprisingly, we found the 2'-spirothietane uridine derivatives not only to be active against HCV and Dengue virus (DENV), viruses belonging to the flavivirus family, but also to demonstrate activity against alphaviruses like Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Sindbis virus (SINV).

Insular thyroid carcinoma in a young Moroccan man: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Insular thyroid carcinoma (ITC) was defined as a rare malignant thyroid cancer standing in an intermediate position between the well-differentiated (papillary and follicular) and the anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. The incidence was estimated around <1% and 10% worldwide. Despite its rarity, it remains the main cause of death from non-anaplastic follicular cell-derived thyroid cancers.
