[Ibrutinib-associated atrial fibrillation : A therapeutic challenge].

Ibrutinib is a potent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for a variety of lymphoid diseases. However, its use is associated with an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation ranging from 4% to 16%. New onset atrial fibrillation in cancer patients is associated with a significantly higher risk of heart failure and thromboembolism, even after adjusting for known risk factors.

[Clinical-Biological analyses and electrocardiographic follow-up of 104 cases of malaria treated at Camp Kosseï in N'Djamena (Tchad)].

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the commonly accepted potential effects of Artemisinin-based combinaison therapy (ACT) on repolarization and QT.

Method: We realized a retrospective study, evaluating epidemiologic, clinical, biological and electrocardiographic data for patients treated for falciparum malaria, between August 31 and November 3, 2017 in the Pôle de santé unique on the Camp Kosseï of N'Djamena.

Results: One hundred and four patients were included (28,6 years old [0 - 75 years], 72% male).

Acute Myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination: A case report.

Introduction: The etiology of myocarditis often remains undetermined. A large variety of infectious agents, systemic diseases, drugs, and toxins can cause the disease. We report the case of a 19-year-old man who developed myocarditis three days after Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster vaccination.

Functional and radiological outcome after forearm plating in children and adolescent fracture.

The literature on forearm overgrowth after plating in traumatic conditions is relatively poor though this technique can be useful when intra-medullary nailing is not sufficient in pediatric cases. The goal of this study was to assess a potential overgrowth after plating and identify impact on function. We conducted a retrospective study of all pediatric patients who underwent open surgery of the radius and/or ulna diaphysis with internal fixation by plating, in our institution, between October 2013 and July 2019.

[Particularities of African descent patient's electrocardiogram].

Particularities of African descent patient's electrocardiogram have been described for many years. Variations such as higher QRS voltage, early repolarization pattern, precordial T-wave inversion and anterior ST segment elevation associated with T-wave inversion are more frequently observed. Ignorance of these variations can lead to misdiagnosis or therapeutic negligence.
