Single-stage surgical management of simultaneous pulmonary and splenic hydatidosis: A rare case report.

Introduction: hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, primarily affects the liver and lungs, with splenic involvement being exceedingly rare, occurring in only 0.5 % of cases. This case report highlights a 17-year-old male presenting with a complicated hydatid cyst in the lung, along with an incidental splenic cyst, emphasizing the importance of single-stage surgery in treating multi-organ hydatid disease.

Sjögren's Syndrome and Ankylosing Spondylitis Association: A Case-Based Review.

Introduction: Unlike restrictive pulmonary function and apical fibrobullous disease, diffuse interstitial lung disease is scarce in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We present a systematic review of the association between AS and SS. We also report a new case of SS revealed by interstitial lung disease in AS patients treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.

Case Report: The first reported case of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis with myasthenia gravis in a 27-year-old patient.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a very rare diffuse lung disease characterized by the accumulation of amorphous and periodic acid Schiff-positive lipoproteinaceous material in the alveolar spaces due to impaired surfactant clearance by alveolar macrophages. Three main types were identified: Autoimmune, secondary and congenital. Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis has been previously reported to be associated with several systemic auto-immune diseases.

[A rural interprofessional primary care team develops a school-based sex education program].

Introduction: In French rural areas, getting information about sexual health and identifying health actors on the topic is difficult for teenagers. Despite national and international guidelines, school-based sex education programs remain insufficient in France. The aim of this project was to develop a school-based psycho-affective and sexual health program (PASHP) for teenagers, led by an interprofessional primary care team (IPCT) in Montval-sur-Loir (Sarthe) and to coordinate local stakeholders.

"To fast or not to fast?" Ramadan and religiosity through the eyes of people with bipolar disorder: an exploratory study.

Background: The month of Ramadan, due to its changes in social rhythms, can seriously affect the course of bipolar disorder (BD). Therefore, psychiatrists sometimes find it necessary to discourage Ramadan practices, especially fasting, although taking part in this practice can give a sense of belonging and accomplishment to patients. Research on this subject is limited.
