Selection of optimal strategy for managing decentralized solar PV systems considering uncertain weather conditions.

Solar power is a promising source of energy that is environmentally friendly, sustainable, and renewable. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are the most common and mature technology used to harness solar energy. Unfortunately, these panels are prone to dust accumulation, which can have a significant impact on their efficiency.

Hydatid Disease, an Uncommon Etiology of Death in Forensic Practice.

In Tunisia, hydatid cyst is an endemic parasitic disease. The cyst may remain asymptomatic, discovered accidentally, or in case of a complication, the most serious of which is sudden death. We propose, in this article, to analyze the degree of involvement of the cyst in the mechanism of death, through the review of 25 cases.

Colorectal barotrauma following compressed air spray to the perineum.

Colorectal injuries caused by high-pressure air compressors are rare and reported especially among industrial workers. They may appear because of intended or accidental injury. In the present paper, we report a case of colorectal injuries due to air insufflation from a distance towards the anus with the clothes on, as a means of a practical joke.

Epidermoid cyst of the brain is a rare benign embryonal tumor. It has an excellent prognosis because of its slow-growing nature. Clinically, symptoms are variable and depend on the location of the cyst.

Sudden death due to left ventricular thrombosis: A report of two autopsy cases.

Purpose: In this paper, we report two rare cases of sudden death due to giant left ventricular thrombus revealed at autopsy and we discuss the manner and the cause of death.

Case Report: Sudden death related to unrecognized cardiac hydatid cyst.

Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a common parasitic human infestation found in sheep-breeding areas. It is caused by the larvae stage of , and cysts develop mostly in the lungs and the liver. Cardiac involvement is unusual and silent until acute complications or a fatal outcome occurs.

[Death due to myocardial infarction in young patients: A study of 312 cases of sudden death].

Sudden cardiac death in young is seen as a dramatic phenomenon requiring knowledge of its impact. We aim to study the epidemiological characteristics of sudden cardiac ischemic death in young, and to discuss his involvement in the occurrence of death. We performed a retrospective cohort study using autopsy data from the department of forensic medicine of the University Hospital of Fattouma Bourguiba, Monastir-Tunisia.

Sudden death and hydatid cyst: A medicolegal study.

The discovery of a hydatid cyst at autopsy poses the problem of its involvement in the mechanism of death. The aim of this study is to analyse the epidemiological and etiopathogenic characteristics of death attributed to hydatid disease, to discuss the mechanism of death and to propose preventive measures. This is a retrospective descriptive study of 26 cases of death with hydatid cyst autopsic discovered, collected at the forensic department of Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital of Monastir (Tunisia) over a period of 27 years (from 1990 until 2017).

Age estimation at death by the study of chest plate radiographs: establishing a Tunisian male score.

We aim to establish a Tunisian score for age estimation through the study of chest plate's radiographs of a Tunisian male sample. We have focused on the study of 128 chest plate radiographs of Tunisian male individuals. We have established a score of eight criteria.

Background: Job satisfaction is a key element in managing human resources despite the scope of practice. It is intimately linked to motivation but acts independently.

Aim: To evaluate the degree of job satisfaction of the teaching physicians practicing in the hospitals of Tunis.

Rights and duties of patients suffering from Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Tunisia.

The spread of the disease of HIV has been decreased since the promotion and protection of human rights. In Tunisian law, patient infected by HIV, as every citizen, enjoys of all his rights without any discrimination, including the right to life and dignity, the right to care access, the free choice of doctor, the right to be informed and consent before any health care and specially the right to medical confidentiality. The Code of patients rights and the law no° 2007-12 of 12 February 2007 supplementing the law no° 92-71 of 27 July 1992 related to transmitted diseases ensure the protection and the respect of these rights.

Cervical Injuries in Drowning Cases: A Case Report and a Review of Literature.

Discovery of bruises in the muscles of the neck and a fracture of the hyoid bone in a body recovered from water makes the diagnosis and the determination of the manner of death difficult.The aims of this work are to report a case of a drowned body with cervical injuries and to highlight the importance of interpreting these findings accurately.A 39-year-old woman was found dead face down in a 6-m deep well with a 3-m water level.

Age assessment in canine and premolar by cervical axial sections of cone-beam computed tomography.

Age estimation in adults is a challenge in both anthropological and forensic situations compared to sub-adults age estimation. The present study explored, for the first time, the cervical zone of single rooted teeth. The deposition of secondary dentin is responsible for a decrease in the volume of the dental pulp cavity with aging, and therefore is often used as an age indicator.

Breast Textiloma: An unending medico-legal issue about a case report.

Introduction: Textiloma is a mass composed of retained surgical textile foreign body. It is a rare iatrogenic complication that can engage the doctor's responsibility. The aim of this manuscript is to report an unusual case of breast Textiloma mimicking a recurrent tumor and to highlight its medico-legal implications.
