Introduction: Scorpion envenomation constitutes a major public health issue in Tunisia, especially in arid regions such as the Gulf of Gabes. It is necessary to understand the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of this condition and the importance of early management.
Aim: This study aims to assess the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients admitted to the emergency department of Gabes University Hospital for scorpion envenomation, as well as the timing of management and intra-hospital evolution.
Article Synopsis
- The Genome Tunisia Project is a two-phase initiative (2022-2035) aimed at sequencing the Tunisian Genome and advancing personalized medicine in Tunisia, a diverse North African country affected by human migration patterns from various continents.
- A multidisciplinary team of Tunisian experts is focused on addressing key priorities, such as determining the reference genome sequence, enhancing education and awareness, and improving infrastructure for personalized medicine integration.
- The project involves collaboration among various stakeholders, including healthcare providers and policymakers, and aims to boost research and innovation in genomics while improving healthcare practices in the region.
Article Synopsis
- Ectrodactyly is a rare limb malformation that can occur alone or as part of syndromes, such as ADULT syndrome, which includes traits like ectodermal dysplasia and lacrimal duct issues.
- A case study reported a patient with ADULT syndrome showing additional eye issues and congenital cone dystrophy, alongside her sister who had the same condition.
- Whole Exome Sequencing revealed two important genetic variants, linking the patient's ectrodactyly and the sisters' cone dystrophy to different genetic causes.
Simulation-based medical education is becoming a cornerstone in health education. Simulators are commonly expensive and not available in developing countries. We propose a very low-cost simulator that any educator can realize.
