Triorchidism diagnosed during a routine hernia repair: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Triorchidism is a rare anomaly whose management raised considerable discussion. Several factors must be considered, including the patient's age, the testes location, their functional status, and the accessibility and compliance for follow-up. We present a case of triorchidism diagnosed incidentally during a routine hernioplasty procedure, serving educational and informative purposes.

Abdominal foreign body migration causing cardiac tamponade: A case report.

Chronic asymptomatic retention of an intragastric foreign body can pose a life-threatening scenario. In the event of migration, it may result in perforation, as shown in our unique case of pericardial perforation through the fundus. Beyond illustrating a rare condition, this case prompts us to engage in a debate about whether to retain or remove asymptomatic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract.

Sleep Habits and Disturbances Among Tunisian Adults: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey.

Background: Sleep quality and disturbances have gained heightened scholarly attention due to their well-established association with both mental and physical health. This study aims to assess sleep-wake habits and disturbances in Tunisian adults.

Methodology: This cross-sectional study employed an online questionnaire to assess 3074 adults ≥ 18 years.

[Not Available].

Aim: To assess the impact of non-insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes (T2D) on professional activity in terms of absenteeism, presenteeism, reduced productivity and daily activities.

Methods: We conducted a comparative cross-sectional survey of two groups of employees in the Cap Bon textile sector: 75 diabetic and 75 workers free from any endocrinological pathology, seen in the occupational medicine group of Nabeul. The study was spread over 10 months from March 2020.

Sensor-Based Assessment of Time-of-Day-Dependent Physiological Responses and Physical Performances during a Walking Football Match in Higher-Weight Men.

Monitoring key physiological metrics, including heart rate and heart rate variability, has been shown to be of value in exercise science, disease management, and overall health. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diurnal variation of physiological responses and physical performances using digital biomarkers as a precise measurement tool during a walking football match (WFM) in higher-weight men. Nineteen males (mean age: 42.

Organ preservation in anorectal melanoma: A tempting challenge-a case report.

Melanoma arising from melanocytes is an uncommon neoplastic lesion, with rare occurrences in anorectal mucosa. While mucosal melanomas constitute a small portion of all melanomas, anorectal cases are even rarer and present with aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. Surgical management is central, with evolving debates regarding optimal approaches.

A case report of end-stage achalasia: Conservative option as the new surgical standard.

Introduction And Importance: End-stage achalasia is a rare disease, consisting of a functional impairment of the esophagus which becomes dilated with a sigmoid shape. While esophagectomy was considered for a long time as the principal surgical procedure in end-stage achalasia, recent literature results demonstrate that laparoscopic Heller Dor (LHD) could be an advocated alternative with acceptable functional results.

Case Presentation: We present the case of an eighty-three-year-old male, an elderly patient, who had been complaining for one year of dysphagia and general status loss.

Estimation of Temporal Parameters During Running with a Wrist-worn Inertial Sensor: an In-field Validation.

The aim of this study was to estimate the temporal gait parameters using a wrist-worn Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) during an outdoor run. While it is easier to compute running gait parameters using foot IMUs, a wrist IMU is more convenient and less obtrusive when it comes to data acquisition. During a track run of 12 minutes, we equipped 14 highly-trained male runners with one IMU on the wrist and one on each foot.

Effects of Walking Football During Ramadan Fasting on Heart Rate Variability and Physical Fitness in Healthy Middle-Aged Males.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a walking football (WF) program during Ramadan fasting (RF) on heart rate variability (HRV) indices, body composition, and physical fitness in middle-aged males. Thirty-one healthy sedentary men were randomized to WF ( = 18) and control ( = 13) groups. Both groups participated in RF.

A verrucous tumor of the leg: Atypical case of Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum.

Syringocystadenoma Papilliferum (SCAP) is a benign adnexal tumor. Most of the cases present with a solitary lesion in the head and neck region at birth or in early childhood. In fact, only two cases of SCAP on the lower leg have been reported in the literature.

Efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of vitiligo: A 10-patient prospective study.

Introduction: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder characterized by loss of epidermal melanocytes. It has cosmetic and psychosocial impact. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the interest of platelet-rich-plasma in the treatment of vitiligo.

Intestinal ischemia in patients with incarcerated groin hernia: proposal and validation of a score.

Purpose: Intestinal ischemia (II) is the most critical factor to determine in patients with incarcerated groin hernia (IGH) because II could be reversible, and it is considered as a "time sensitive condition." Although predictive factors of II were identified in several previous studies, preoperative diagnosis of II cannot be reliably made or excluded by any known parameter. The aims of this study were: to devise and to validate a clinic-biologic score, with a strong discriminatory power, for predicting the risk of II in patients with IGH.

Slow-growing pedunculated nodule.

There have been limited reported cases of pedunculated basal cell carcinoma(BCC). Our case is original, and it combines two rare aspects of CBC: Pedunculated and giant. This uncommon aspect is rarely encountered.
