Potential risk factors for hypospadias and negative correlation with DICER1 (rs3742330) A>G variant in Algerian population: A case-control study.

Background: Hypospadias continues to be a prevalent congenital anomaly affecting the male external genitalia, characterized by an unclear origin and complex treatment approaches. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with hypospadias and explore its genetic link with the DICER1 rs3742330 variant.

Methods: The study involved two groups: 105 male children with hypospadias and 111 healthy male children as matched controls.

The Professional Future in Operated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study of Recognized Occupational Cases.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is frequently present among workers. This syndrome's professional and economic impact makes it a priority in occupational health. We aimed to describe the professional future of workers suffering from occupational CTS after surgery and the factors that could influence their retention at the job.

Impact of atypical working hours on sleep and mood among healthcare workers.

Background: Atypical working hours have raised serious concerns about health effects, such as sleep disorders and psychological repercussions. These schedules are frequent among health professionals having the obligation to ensure the permanence of health services.

Objective: To assess the impact of atypical working hours on sleep, sleepiness, and mood among health personnel (HP).

[Sleep disorders and psycho-affective problems in paramedical personnel working an atypical schedule].

Introduction: Shift work can cause health problems and sleep disorders and therefore affect mental health. These psycho-affective disorders can, in return, worsen sleep disorders and thus establish a vicious circle. The aims of our study were to assess the frequency of sleep and psycho-affective disorders among paramedical personnel doing shift work and to screen them for obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (OSA).

Peritoneal mesothelioma associated with bladder cancer and occupational exposure to asbestos: A case report.

Mesothelioma is a rare tumor usually located on the pleura. In this typical location, it is closely linked to asbestos exposure. However, in other locations such as in peritoneal mesothelioma, the association to asbestos remains unusual.

Integrated Molecular Meta-Analysis of 1,000 Pediatric High-Grade and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.

We collated data from 157 unpublished cases of pediatric high-grade glioma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and 20 publicly available datasets in an integrated analysis of >1,000 cases. We identified co-segregating mutations in histone-mutant subgroups including loss of FBXW7 in H3.3G34R/V, TOP3A rearrangements in H3.

Meningeal Hemangiopericytomas and Meningomas: a Comparative Immunohistochemical and Genetic Study.

Background: The meningeal hemangiopericytoma (MHPC) is a vascular tumor arising from pericytes. Most intracranial MHPCs resemble meningiomas (MNGs) in their clinical presentation and histological features and may therefore be misdiagnosed, despite important differences in prognosis.

Materials And Methods: We report 8 cases of MHPC and 5 cases of MNG collected from 2007 to 2011 from the Neuro-Surgery and Histopathology departments.
