Introduction: Clinical Reasoning Learning (CRL) is one of the most important methods of active learning in medicine. This instruction is designed for small groups of students.

Objectives And Methods: We conducted a prospective descriptive study with the primary goal of adapting this instruction for large groups of students.

Atypical and Unpredictable Superficial Mycosis Presentations: A Narrative Review.

While typically exhibiting characteristic features, fungal infections can sometimes present in an unusual context, having improbable localization (eyelid, face, or joint); mimicking other skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, or mycosis fungoides; and appearing with unexpected color, shape, or distribution. The emergence of such a challenging clinical picture is attributed to the complex interplay of host characteristics (hygiene and aging population), environment (climate change), advances in medical procedures, and agent factors (fungal resistance and species emergence). We aim to provide a better understanding of unusual epidemiological contexts and atypical manifestations of fungal superficial diseases, knowing that there is no pre-established clinical guide for these conditions.

Fungal contamination of medical masks among forensic healthcare workers in the COVID19 era.

Background: Medical masks are widely used in health care settings to protect healthcare workers from respiratory infections, particularly in the context of the recent Covid-19 disease.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 52 used masks collected from 52 forensic healthcare practitioners was conducted to culture for fungal isolation and identification. A study of fungal contamination was conducted by making an impression of the mouth mask cut piece on Sabouraud agar for selective isolation; each health worker completed a questionnaire, which included age, sex, type of mask, and duration of mask use.

Fungal carriage of hospital trapped cockroaches: A prospective study.

Cockroaches are considered parasite carriers, and their nocturnal habits and regular contact with various environments make them ideal carriers of diverse fungal species. The aim of this study was to isolate superficial fungi carried by cockroaches trapped at our health care institution. A total of 100 cockroaches were captured from 6 wards of the hospital and were investigated for the presence of fungi on their external surface by using SDA medium.

[Cross-Sectional Study on Adverse Effects of Metformin Hydrochloride on 130 Patients Type 2 Diabetic Admitted to Medical Center and Diabetes Home of Sidi Bel-Abbès].

Introduction: MetforminHydrochloride is an antidiabetic used for many years, currently; it considered the first choice in treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). It decreases insulin resistance, does not induce hypoglycaemia, increases glucose utilization in the liver and skeletal muscle, and decreases hepatic glucose production. Its adverse effects (AE) are gastrointestinal, decrease in vitamin B12 absorption, abnormalities of hemogram and rarely skin reactions.
