Acquired cystic kidney disease in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, prevalence and associated factors: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease (ACKD) is a known complication in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, and it is associated with a high risk of malignant transformation. There is a paucity of data on ACKD in sub-Saharan Africa. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with acquired cystic kidney disease in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Assessment of infraorbital foramen position using computed tomography-scan in a cohort of Cameroonian adults: landmarks in facial surgery and anesthesiology.

Introduction: the infraorbital foramen (IOF) is a hole located in the maxillary bone and delivering passage to the infra orbital vascular-nervous bundle. It is an essential structure in the management of orofacial pathologies. Its precise location allows optimal anesthesia of the infraorbital nerve during cleft lip and palate surgery or alcoholization during the management of essential V2 neuralgia.

[A case of unilateral dislocation of C3 right facet joint treated with lateral mass plating].

Facet joint dislocations of the cervical spine are distractive-flexion injuries that account for 6 to 10 % of traumatic lesions of the subaxial cervical spine. Distractive-flexion injuries of the cervical spine were classified into four stages by Allen and Fergusson. These unstable lesions predominate at the fifth and sixth levels and all aspects of their management are subject to controversy, including their classification.
