Genetic Insights Into Epidermolysis Bullosa: Identification of Novel Variants in Tunisian Patients.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by extreme skin fragility and blistering. In North African countries, including Tunisia, complex genetic and phenotypic diversity is entangled with a scarcity of scientific research on EB. This lack of knowledge presents a distinct challenge in terms of diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios as mortality predictors in acute Aluminum phosphide (grain pills) poisoning: clinical insights and risk assessment.

Background: Aluminum phosphides (AlP) is a solid fumigant pesticide known for its high toxicity and mortality. Diagnosis of AlP is based on the history and clinical examination. The literature on the early prediction of adverse outcomes following AlP exposure is limited.

Is Tunisia ready for precision medicine? Challenges of medical genomics within a LMIC healthcare system.

As one of the key tools on the precision medicine workbench, high-throughput genetic testing has enormous promise for improving healthcare outcomes. Tunisia has made tremendous progress in acquiring and implementing the technology in the clinical context. However, current utilization does not ensure the whole range of benefits that high-throughput genomic testing provides which impedes the country's ability to move forward into the new era of precision medicine.

Comparative impact of replacing fish meal with azolla on growth, water quality, and physiology of red tilapia fingerlings at varying salinities.

A 210-day experiment to assess the efficacy of substituting azolla plant powder at levels of 0, 20, 40, and 60% for fish meal on red tilapia fingerlings (RTF, initial weight of 18.23 ± 0.12 g) performance under salinity levels of 5, 18, and 28ppt.
