Effect of Climate on Bacterial and Archaeal Diversity of Moroccan Marine Microbiota.

The Moroccan coast is characterized by a diversity of climate, reflecting a great richness and diversity of fauna and flora. By this, marine microbiota plays a fundamental role in many biogeochemical processes, environmental modifications, and responses to temperature changes. To date, no exploration by high-throughput techniques has been carried out on the characterization of the Moroccan marine microbiota.

Studies on peroxidase from Lam leaves.

Kinetic and physicochemical properties of peroxidase purified using a novel and cost efficient protocol was investigated with a view to providing information on its possible biotechnological potentials. peroxidase was purified to homogeneity in two steps, involving ATPS and size exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-100 with a yield of 84.12 %.

Access to information and use of adolescent sexual reproductive health services: Qualitative exploration of barriers and facilitators in Kisumu and Kakamega, Kenya.

Background: Kenya has a high prevalence of adolescent pregnancy and low access to and use of adolescent sexual reproductive health services. Despite the enactment of evidence-based policies to address this problem, adolescents continue to face health problems and barriers to adolescent sexual reproductive health information and services.

Main Objective: This study describes barriers to and facilitators of access to adolescent sexual and reproductive health services in Kisumu and Kakamega counties, Kenya.

Evaluating the effectiveness of a combined approach to improve utilization of adolescent sexual reproductive health services in Kenya: a quasi-experimental design study protocol.

Background: Access to and utilization of adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) services remains poor. ASRH services in Kenya are primarily offered in health facilities and include counselling, information, and services on family planning, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV and basic life skills. The Ministry of Education also provides age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health information in schools.

[Head and neck localizations of hydatid cyst: A series of 17 cases].

Introduction: Head and neck localizations of hydatid cyst are very rare (1% of human cases) even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic (human sites). Our objective was to report the epidemiological, and clinical characteristics and the management of head and neck localizations of hydatid cyst.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of 17 cases of head and neck hydatid cysts taken in charge in our department between 2000 and 2014 was conducted.

Orthodontic and surgical management of a skeletal Class III case.

This article presents a case report on a skeletal Class III associated with transverse maxillary constriction treated using a combined orthodontic and surgical approach. The presurgical orthodontic phase involved decompensation for the malocclusion accompanied by upper arch expansion. After 15 months of orthodontic preparation, the patient underwent mandibular setback surgery.

Nasal foreign bodies: Results of a study of 260 cases.

Aims: Insertion of a foreign body in the nasal cavity is a very common incident in children. It is easily diagnosed, but the type of foreign body varies and extraction can sometimes be difficult, with risk of complications. The present study reports nasal foreign bodies seen in emergency in our ENT department, with an update on the state of knowledge.

[Maxillary tumor revealing primary hyperparathyroidism].

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism can infrequently present as a giant cell tumor of the jaw. We report the case of a patient presenting with a giant cell tumor leading to the discovery of a parathyroid adenoma.

Observation: A 70-year-old male patient consulted for a stiffly swollen right jaw.

[Malignant melanoma of the mandibular gingiva].

Introduction: The oral melanoma (OM) account for 1% of all melanomas. The prognosis is poor despite an adequate locoregional control of the disease.

Observation: A 47 year old women consulted for a blackish lesion of the mandibular gingiva next to tooth 37.

[Free nonvascularized bone graft evolution after mandibular resections: 45 cases report].

The resection of mandibular benign tumors often require reconstruction. The purpose of our study is to present the middle and long-term results of 45 patients, treated by free no-vascularized bone graft after resection of benign tumors, dominated by the ameloblastoma. The PSIM type III hemimandibulectomy was the most frequent (58%).

[A rare and unusual cause of dysphonia: The leech].

We report a case of dysphonia associated with intermittent episodes of hemoptysis low abundance in a patient aged 32, clinical examination is normal, nasofibroscopie objective a leech at the laryngeal orifice, extracted by direct laryngoscopy in emergency.

[Vascular tumors of the nasal cavities: a retrospective study of 10 cases].

Unlabelled: Vascular tumors of the sinus cavities are rarely documented in the literature. They are characterized by a histological diversity. They can be benign or malignant.

[Epidemiology of paediatric emergencies in ENT].

Objective: To assess the prevalence and severity of pediatric emergencies in ENT in Casablanca.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study over two years from January 1st 2010 to December 31, 2011, covering 2220 pediatric othorhinolaryngology emergencies observed in the emergency department of the "20 August Casablanca" hospital.

[Pott's puffy tumor, a rare complication of frontal sinusitis].

Port's puffy tumour (PPT), corresponding to frontal osteomyelitis causing erosion of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus and subperiosteal abscess, is a rare but serious complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma to the region. It can occur even despite the use of antibiotics and requires surgical drainage of the abscess, excision of pathological tissues and obliteration of the frontal sinus by various materials. It can rarely progress to life-threatening intracranial extension.

[Recurrent ameloblastoma on a rib graft after 33 years (a case report and review of the literature)].

Introduction: The recurrence of an ameloblastoma is generally due to insufficient margins of resection or to the aggressiveness of the tumour which is regarded as locally malignant. Recurrencies on autologus osseous graft are rare in the literature. We report the case of a recurrent ameloblastoma on autologus rib graft which occurred 33 years after the surgery.
