Surveillance and treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (aka. STOP HCC): protocol for a prospective cohort study of high-risk patients for HCC using GALAD-score.

Background: Vietnam and Saudi Arabia have high disease burden of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Early detection in asymptomatic patients at risk for HCC is a strategy to improve survival outcomes in HCC management. GALAD score, a serum-based panel, has demonstrated promising clinical utility in HCC management.

High-flow nasal oxygen therapy decrease the risk of mortality and the use of invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia? A retrospective and comparative study of 265 cases.

Introduction: Corona virus disease (Covid-19) affects the airways and induces pulmonary lesions, patients with this disease require oxygen therapy as the disease progresses. Several oxygenation options have been used, l'HFNO had showed beneficial effects.

The Objective Of This Study: To evaluate the efficacy of high-flow nasal oxygen HFNO versus non-invasive ventilation in COVID-19.

Hypertriglyceridemia revealing acute pancreatitis: A case report.

Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is considered one of the potentially rare complications of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). Multiple treatment modalities have been suggested for patients with HTG-AP, such as permanent removal of TG by plasmapheresis, the use of insulin and heparin to enhance lipoprotein lipase activity and fibrate therapy, but the data remains limited.

Case Management: we reported a case of 33-year-old women admitted for HTG-induced PA (HTG-AP).

Ischemic stroke revealing COVID-19 infection: Case report.

Introduction: SARS-COV-2 viral infection primarily targets the respiratory system with a clinical picture that varies from simple symptoms to respiratory distress syndrome requiring hospitalization in the intensive care unit; SARS-CoV-2 also has neuro-invasive capabilities and could spread from the respiratory system to the central nervous system. Recently, some patients with COVID-19 have been shown to have neurological symptoms such as headache, anosmia, dysgeusia, dizziness, impaired consciousness, and ischemic stroke.

Case Presentation: we describe a case of ischemic stroke as the main presentation of COVID-19 in a 68 years old man with no previous history, without any associated respiratory signs; clinical examination revealed left hemiparesis with dysarthria and left facial paralysis, NIHSS score was at 11, the brain CT scan performed 1h30min later, completed by a brain MRI that came back in favor of right frontal, temporal and parietal ischemic stroke.

Lymphopenia in Covid-19: A single center retrospective study of 589 cases.

Background: Lymphopenia is one of features that helps identify patients with severe Covid-19. This retrospectively study analyzed the association of lymphopenia with the severity of COVID-19 infection, determinate the predictive factors of lymphopenia and the significance of mortality in patient with lymphopenia.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and admitted to intensive care unit of our university hospital center From Mars 1st 2020, to December 31st 2020.
