Monitoring rural-urban transformation in the coastal region of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra, Morocco.

Worldwide urbanization drives rural-urban transformation (RUT) which has major consequences in many countries of the Global South where there is an urgent need to better understand and manage the underlying processes and consequences for ecosystem services. To fill existing knowledge gaps on the extent and time course of RUT in Morocco, this study focused on (i) analyzing the spatial patterns of rural-urban transformation in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra (RSK) region from 1972 to 2020, (ii) identifying key mechanisms of change, and (iii) defining the main driving forces behind the spatial transformation patterns. To this end, we processed data of the Landsat free archive, historical grayscale Corona images, and nighttime lights datasets on Google Earth Engine (GEE) using machine learning classifiers and LandTrendr spectral-temporal segmentation algorithms.

Parental Response to Children's Chronic Pain.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the behavior of Moroccan parents toward their children's chronic pain.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in different hospital wards. Parents of hospitalized children with chronic pain aged six or over participated in the study.

Splenic Injury After Colonoscopy in a 55-Year-Old Female Patient.

Colonoscopy is, in general, a relatively safe procedure with a low complication rate. Splenic injury related to this procedure is very rare, ranging from one in 100,000 to one in 6,387 colonoscopies, but a possibly lethal complication. For its diagnosis, a high degree of clinical suspicion is needed as many physicians are not aware of its existence.

A Rare Case of Synchronous Primary Gallbladder and Sigmoid Colon Neoplasms.

Colorectal cancer is considered the third most common cancer worldwide. On the other hand, gallbladder cancer is rare. Synchronous tumors in both the colon and the gallbladder are extremely infrequent.
