Background: Hypertension is a prevalent non-communicable disease and unequivocally one of the most serious health threats of the twenty-first century. The prevention of both immediate and long-term consequences depends on ongoing therapeutic education.
Aims: To assess Tunisian hypertensive patients' knowledge of hypertension and then evaluate the impact of an educational program on knowledge among this population.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between inherited thrombophilia, specifically Factor V Leiden (FVL) and Prothrombin mutations (PTM), and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in 35 Tunisian women who experienced multiple miscarriages.
- - DNA analysis revealed FVL in 5.7% and PTM in 2.9% of participants with a history of early fetal loss and thrombotic events.
- - The findings highlight the need for genetic testing for these mutations in women facing RPL and stress the importance of collaborative research to better understand their impact on pregnancy outcomes and potential treatments.
Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the association between cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) polymorphisms (T3801C and A2455G) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk, considering genetic models and ethnicity.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Knowledge, Scopus, and the Cochrane electronic databases were searched using combinations of keywords related to CYP1A1 polymorphisms and the risk of ALL. Studies retrieved from the database searches underwent screening based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.
During the month of Ramadan, over one billion Muslims observe a water and food fast from sunrise to sunset. The practice of this religious duty causes marked changes in eating and sleeping habits. With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, the number of patients with CV pathologies who wish to fast is increasing worldwide, and in Tunisia, which is ranked as a high CV risk country.

Aim: To assess this association through an update meta-analysis.
