Article Synopsis
- - Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare and serious heart condition often occurring during or after pregnancy; this study assessed its outcomes in North Africa over a 12-year period from 2010 to 2022.
- - Out of 27 PPCM patients studied, most presented symptoms like severe dyspnea and had a low average heart function measurement (LVEF of 30%); complications included pulmonary edema (85%) and the need for ECMO support in two patients.
- - The follow-up revealed that 67% of patients showed recovery in heart function, but the overall mortality rate was 15%, with significant mortality associated with factors like past pregnancies and poor prenatal care.
Introduction: Vaginal delivery after caesarean section (VBAC) is recommended, but the rising rate of uterine rupture calls into question the safety of this practice.
Aim: To identify risk factors for uterine dehiscence and rupture.
Methods: This was a prospective, analytical and descriptive observational study, carried out in a tertiary care maternity.
Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations outside the uterine cavity. These locations are usually the ovaries, the peritoneum, and the uterine ligaments. Less frequently, the endometrial tissue can affect the perineum especially after surgical procedures or obstetric lesions.

Our aim was to assess the prognostic impact of natural killer (NK) cells in breast carcinomas.
Materials And Methods: NK cells infiltration were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
The forkhead box (FOXA) family of transcription factors regulates gene expression and chromatin structure during tumorigenesis and embryonic development. Until now, the relationship between FOXA1 and the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has not yet been reported. Therefore, our purpose is to analyze the expression of FOXA1 in 56 NPC patients compared to 10 normal nasopharyngeal mucosae and to correlate the expression with the clinicopathological features.
