Update on the epidemiology of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Central Eastern Tunisia over 11 years.

Introduction: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common sleep-related breathing disorder. Knowledge about OSAS incidence trends could be extremely useful in assessing health needs and implementing preventive measures accordingly. This study aimed at the epidemiological and clinical specificities of OSAS and to give an update on its current chronological trends.

Mechanical Recycling and Its Effects on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polyamides.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of mechanical recycling on the physical and mechanical properties of recycled polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 66 (PA66) in relation to their microstructures. Both PA6 and PA66 raw materials were reprocessed six times, and the changes in their properties were investigated as a function of recycling number. Until the sixth round of recycling, slight changes in the mechanical properties were detected, except for the percentage of elongation.

Impact of Therapeutic Education on the Management of High Blood Pressure: A Quasi-experimental Survey From Southern Tunisia.

Introduction: The prevalence of arterial hypertension (HTA) was continuously increased with a low percentage of pressure control blood pressure among treated patients. Therapeutic education (TE) was one of the inventive methods in the management of high blood pressure (HBP) worldwide. The objective was to assess the impact of TE on the control and management of HBP.

Low back-pain among school-teachers in Southern Tunisia: prevalence and predictors.

Objectives: In the professional environment, low back pain (LBP) is a multifactorial symptomatology, despite scientific and technological advances in the design and the arrangement of increasingly ergonomic workstations. Teachers are not exempt from this risk, due to prolonged sitting or standing. In light of this, this study aimed to estimate LBP prevalence among teachers in Southern Tunisia and to identify their determinants.
