Introduction: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or Von Recklinghausen disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with multivisceral manifestations. We report the case of a spontaneous haemothorax in a young lady wearing this genetic pathology.
Case Report: A 31-year-old woman with kyphoscoliosis developed acute chest pain and dyspnea.
Objective: Study the effect of muscle strength training on muscle strength, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), hemodynamic and anthropometric parameters as well as quality of life after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: After CABG surgery, 32 patients were randomized into two groups. The first group was to perform aerobic-type training with a cycle ergometer (AT=16).

Aim: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The value of Nt-pro BNP in predicting AF complicating cardiac surgery is not well studied. Our objective is to determine its predictive role in the occurrence of this complication after heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
