The primary objective was to determine the pattern of variation, while the secondary objective was to identify which month or growth stage provides a greater total PHA content or percentage of bioactive components. Different patterns of seasonal variations were highlighted for the different PHA components and their classes (hydroxybenzoic and -cinnamic acids) in different parts of the plant.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study enrolling 499 hypertensive subjects. Based on body mass index values and metabolic profile, they were assigned to one of four metabolic phenotype groups: MHNO: metabolically healthy non-obese, MHO: metabolically healthy but obese, MUHNO: metabolically unhealthy but non-obese, and MUHO: metabolically unhealthy and obese.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with substantial public health and economic impact on healthcare systems due to the prevention and management of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. In Algeria, stroke is a leading cause of death, representing 15.6% of all deaths in 2012.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and lipid disorders (LD) in hypertensive patients are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications requiring follow-up and more aggressive therapeutic strategies. The main objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of DM and LD in adult hypertensive patients followed in specialized consultation of hypertension in the region of Blida (North Algeria) during the period from January 2013 to June 2017.
Materials And Methods: We included 3268 hypertensive patients (1453 men and 1815 women), mean age of 58.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of 25 (OH) vitamin D supplementation on blood pressure (BP) variability in hypertensive women in the pre-menopausal and post-menopausal periods.
Materials And Methods: 881 hypertensive women prospectively followed for an interventional study between January 2016 and September 2017, in specialized consultation at the department of internal medicine at the Blida University Hospital (Algeria). Four hundred and thiry nine premenopausal women (group I) and 442 menopausal women (group II).
Purpose: To compare differences in prevalence rates, treatment and control of hypertension (AHT) between males and females in general medicine consultation in the area of Blida (Algeria).
Methods: We included 3622 patients in the study (42% males and 58% females), with a mean age of 48.14±10.

Objective: Assess the prevalence, the degree of control, and the comorbidities of hypertension in postmenopausal women.
Designs And Methods: This is a cohort descriptive and prospective study conducted in 2years in a population with hypertension treated for arterial hypertension in specialized university hospital in Blida, which included one thousand seven hundred and twenty-one postmenopausal women with amenorrhea fore more than 12 consecutive months. All anthropometric data were recorded.
Introduction: During the past 20 years, significant progress has been made in the recanalization of ACS with ST elevation. It is now accepted that the reopening of the large coronary vessels in the acute phase of infarction by thrombolysis or angioplasty is necessary but not sufficient, because in 20-50% of cases, the coronary recanalization is an illusion of reperfusion. This phenomenon is called "no reflow".

Introduction: Arterial hypertension is a major public health problem not only internationally, but also in our country, and it is the major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In south Algeria, the black population is nearly half the population of the oases of the Algerian Sahara.
The Objectives Of The Study: The objectives of the study are to analyze the long-term fate of the black hypertensive subjects in Algerian oases in southern Algeria, in terms of morbidity and mortality, comparing the morphometric profile and cardiovascular complications with the white population of the same oases.
