Aortic floating thrombus in patients with COVID-19: a report of eight cases.

Background: Thromboembolic events of COVID-19 are due to hyperinflammatory process associated with hypercoagulable state. The aim of the study was to determine characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 who presented with aortic thrombus.

Methods: We retrospectively conducted a single-center, descriptive study over a period of 1 year and 7 months, between June 2021 and December 2022, involving eight patients with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with aortic thrombus revealed by acute limb ischemia.

Inguinal synovial sarcoma revealed by a limb swelling: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Synovial sarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor typically found near joints; its occurrence in the inguinal region is very rare.

Case Presentation: We report a 23-years-old who presented with lower limb swelling. Imaging studies revealed a tumor in the groin area, compressing the femoral vein.

The Polyol Process and the Synthesis of ζ Intermetallic Compound AgSn.

The present work concerns the intermetallic compound (IMC) existing in the Ag-Sn system and its potential use in electronics as attachment materials allowing the adhesion of the chip to the substrate forming the power module. First, we present the synthesis protocol in polyol medium of a compound with the chemical formula AgSn belonging to the solid solution of composition located between 9 and 16 at.% Sn, known as solid solution ζ (or ζ-AgSn).

Left sleeve pneumonectomy for a rare lung tumor: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lung is extremely rare. This tumor can be asymptomatic or have non characteristics symptoms, and the diagnosis is often late. The treatment of choice is surgery when it's possible.

Oxygen delivery monitoring under cardiopulmonary bypass : what implication on postoperative morbidity and mortality ?

Introduction: The standard control parameters of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) currently used in Tunisia are replaced in Western countries by the concept of "goal-directed-perfusion" requiring oxygen delivery (DO2) minimum at 270ml / min / m2.

Aim: In this study, we explored the association between the DO2 and the postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional and retrospective observational study including a series of 50 patients operated on for myocardial revascularization under CPB.

Surgical management of a simultaneous aortic valve replacement and pneumonectomy.

Combined heart surgery and lung resection remains a controversial issue. The treatment of two major conditions in the same operative time may be attempted in certain cases. We report the case of a 68-year-old man who presented for dyspnea on exertion.

The emergent use of Cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenator in a child with sickle cell disease.

The use of Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) in patients suffering from Sickle cell disease (SCD) needs specific precautions. Whereas, no consensual protocols have been established to clarify therapeutic management. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital for surgery of advanced endocarditis.

Epicardial cavernous hemangioma: a two-case report.

Aims: We report two-cases of cavernous hemangiomas arising from the epicardium in two women aged respectively 24 and 79 years old. The first patient was symptomatic and presented with palpitations. The second patient was referred after a random discovery at echocardiography.

[Beating heart coronary artery bypass: 100 cases].

Background: Coronary artery revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass has been reported to carry several risks.

Aim: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has been proposed to result in a better outcome. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass.

Lead and cadmium concentrations in seawater and algae of the Tunisian coast.

Both lead and cadmium are toxic trace metals, even in very weak concentrations. The aim of this study was to estimate lead and cadmium pollution in various sites of the Tunisian coast and to verify the possibility of modification of the algae bioconcentration power according to water physico-chemical conditions. Our study concerned 99 samples of algae and 99 samples of seawater, taken in different sites of the Tunisian littoral.

Use of plants to induce chemical submission in Tunisia.

Induced chemical submission is the administration or instigation of consumption of one or more substances to an individual without their knowledge to alter attentiveness and make the person vulnerable to abuse. Specific experiences in managing victims of induced submission from plant materials at a poison control center are presented.

[Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, celiac disease and cardiomyopathy].

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND--Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH), a rare and possibly immune disease, is sometimes associated with coeliac disease and myocardiopathy.

Case Reports: CASE NO 1--A 2 year-old boy with IPH was investigated because he suffered from frequent, soft stools. Small bowel biopsy showed partial villous atrophy.
