Catheterized chicken for training on ultrasound-guided vascular access: A simple, cost-effective, and effective model.

Ultrasound-guided vascular access is a medical procedure that is becoming increasingly common in daily practice and is recommended to avoid iatrogenic complications. One of the procedures with a high-risk rate of complications is the vascular puncture. However, training on this technique can be challenging due to the limited availability of simulation models.

Thromboembolic events in COVID-19 ambulatory patients: An observational study about incidence, and thromboprophylaxis outcomes.

Introduction: There are no clear data about the incidence and the prophylactic strategies of arterial and venous thromboembolic events (TE) in COVID-19 ambulatory patients. Thus, we conducted this study to analyze thromboembolic complications in this setting and to assess thromboprophylaxis management and outcomes in the real life.

Patients And Methods: This is an observational study including Covid-19 ambulatory patients.

Study of the influence of 2.5% Mg insertion in the B-site of LaCaPbFeO on its structural, electrical and dielectric properties.

This work involves the synthesis and study of physical properties of the LaCaPbFeMgO compound, which has been characterized by various experimental techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, SEM and complex impedance spectroscopy. The structural study showed that the LaCaPbFeMgO compound crystallized in the orthorhombic structure with the space group. The particle size and the surface morphology of this compound have been analysed using SEM.

Validation of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) in the Tunisian dialect.

Objectives: The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) is one of the most frequently used depression assessment scales. In Tunisia, psychiatrists commonly use this scale in a Tunisian dialect. However, to the best of our knowledge, this scale has never been validated in Tunisia.

Stroke knowledge among emergency centre visitors: A cross-sectional multicenter survey.

Introduction: Stroke is a public health problem worldwide. Community stroke knowledge is crucial to guide the prevention approach. We aimed to evaluate the level of stroke knowledge among the visitors to Emergency Centres (ECs) in the southern region of Tunisia concerning factors of risk, symptoms, and treatment of stroke.

Update on the Epidemiology of Scorpion Envenomation in the South of Tunisia.

Introduction: Scorpion envenomation is still a frequent occurance in tropical and subtropical regions. In Tunisia, multiple studies on scorpion envenoming have contributed to an improved understanding of cardiac dysfunction and factors predictive of poor prognosis. These previous studies have contributed to the current standardized management of envenomed patients.
