Article Synopsis
- Vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs) remain a significant issue for adults, largely due to inadequate vaccination programs compared to those for children, particularly in Tunisia and Morocco.
- While there are targeted campaigns for at-risk adults, such as influenza and tetanus vaccinations for specific populations, overall adult vaccination efforts need improvement to effectively reduce disease burden and increase life expectancy.
- The manuscript aims to highlight the global impact of VPDs and review vaccination strategies, emphasizing the need for stronger adult vaccination initiatives in Tunisia and Morocco to improve awareness and participation.
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a worldwide major public health problem. In Tunisia, few studies have focused on MetS in general population and in military setting in particular.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of the MetS in a military population at Bizerte garrison (Tunisia) and to identify its associated factors.
The cause of thrombosis in hemodialysis vascular access is considered to be of a multifactorial nature, including stenosis of the venous or arterial connection. Therefore, identification of relevant thrombotic risk factors could lead to an improved antithrombotic therapy. This case control study was performed to evaluate the relationship between Factor V (G1691A and A4070G) and Factor II polymorphisms and vascular access thrombosis in hemodialysis patients.
