Article Synopsis
- Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a complex inflammatory condition influenced by genetic and environmental factors; this study investigates how specific HLA alleles relate to PsA in Southern Tunisia.
- A case-control study involving 48 PsA patients and 123 controls found strong associations between HLA-B27 and HLA-C*06 with the disease, particularly in individuals homozygous for HLA-C*06.
- Certain HLA alleles were notably linked to specific disease characteristics, such as HLA-B27 with familial PsA and various HLA types associated with other manifestations like cervical spine involvement and uveitis.
Due to increasing traffic congestion, travel modeling has gained importance in the development of transportion mode detection (TMD) strategies over the past decade. Nowadays, recent smartphones, equipped with integrated inertial measurement units (IMUs) and embedded algorithms, can play a crucial role in such development. In particular, obtaining much more information on the transportation modes used by users through smartphones is very challenging due to the variety of the data (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, proximity sensors, etc.

In this work, we aimed to assess the injury severity score (ISS) and trauma injury severity score (TRISS) in Tunisian military combatants injured during terrorism attacks.
Materials And Methods: A total of 153 victims of terrorism admitted to the Military Hospital of Tunis between January 2012 and January 2017 were included.
Article Synopsis

- * The patient responded well to a 2-month antibiotic treatment, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to improve recovery outcomes.
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of foot involvement in psoriatic arthritis and to describe its different clinical and radiological features.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study including 40 patients with psoriatic arthritis over a period of 12 months. Anamnesis, clinical examination of feet, podoscopic examination, X-rays of feet and heels, and ultrasound in B mode and power Doppler mode were done for each patient.
