Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze microvascularization in patients with non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) using OCT-angiography at different stages of the condition.
- It involved a comparison of NAION patients in both acute and resolved stages with control groups matched for various health factors, highlighting significant decreases in peripapillary density and microvascular perfusion in affected eyes.
- The findings suggest that while there is decreased microvascular density in NAION eyes, there are increased vascular characteristics in the optic nerves of both eyes, indicating a unique response in these patients.
Introduction And Importance: Desmoid-type fibromatosis is an uncommon tumor characterized by its local invasiveness, with shoulder involvement being notably infrequent. The optimal treatment strategy for this tumor remains a topic of ongoing debate.
Case Presentation: A 47-year-old Tunisian woman with a history of hypothyroidism, presented with pain and swelling in her left shoulder for a year.

Article Synopsis
- Patients with neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) face an elevated risk of soft-tissue sarcomas, such as the rare epithelioid sarcoma (ES), making its clinical management important yet poorly understood.
- A case study of a 37-year-old NF1 patient revealed a rare ES on his thigh, leading to a rapid decline in health after opting for a less aggressive treatment method, highlighting the severe prognosis often associated with this condition.
- This case emphasizes the need for more research and a collaborative approach in treating sarcomas in NF1 patients to enhance understanding and improve care outcomes.
Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) management can only be conceived in a specialized center. We aimed to report the experience of a Tunisian ICU about PH invasive hemodynamic exploration and to describe consequent therapeutic decisions.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study including all patients admitted to the medical ICU of Abderrahmen Mami Hospital for right heart catheterization (RHC), between 2005 and 2019 as part of the investigation of PH.
Objective: To determine the impact of mobile-phone telemonitoring on patients' adherence and satisfaction with posttrauma pain treatment.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial including patients with minor trauma discharged from the emergency department (ED) with analgesic treatment. Patients were randomized to one of 3 groups, the control group, where patients received a phone call on day-7, the short message service (SMS) group, where patients received a daily text message to remind them to take their treatment during 7 days, and the mobile-phone based telemonitoring (TLM) group.
