Introduction: Despite different ultrasound parameters, left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) assessment remains inconclusive in some cases.
Aim: To determine the contribution of left atrial strain (LAS) in estimating LVFP in patients with exertional symptoms and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Methods: This was a monocentric study, carried out in the cardiology department of the Interior Security Forces Hospital, La Marsa, between October 2021 and March 2022.
Background: In order to fight digestive parasitism in Tunisia, a national program of surveillance of non-permanent resident students in Tunisia has been found to detect these parasitosis in this target population.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis among non-permanent resident students in Tunisia, to identify the different parasitic species founded and to show the interest of this screening.
Methods: During a period of 23 years (1990-2012), 7386 parasitological examinations of stools has been made among students essentially from or had visited tropical Africa, Maghreb and Middle-East, at the laboratory of Parasitology-Mycology at the Rabta Hospital of Tunis.
