[Correlation between detrusor thickness, intravesical prostatic protrusion and maximum urinary flow in the monitoring of benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Introduction: Detrusor thickness (DT) and intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) are closely related to bladder outlet obstruction. The aim of our study was to look for correlation between DT, IPP and maximum urinary flow (Qmax).

Methods: It is a prospective, observational study including men over fifty managed for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Tunisian Consensus document on magnetic resonance imaging in patients with intracardiac devices.

Patients with ferromagnetic cardiac devices, particularly cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators, are often inappropriately deprived of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for safety reasons. This consensus document is written by a multidisciplinary working group involving rhythmologists, interventional cardiologists, echocardiographists and radiologists. Its objective is to establish good practice recommendations to optimize the management of patients with cardiac devices requiring MRI examination, while ensuring their safety and facilitating their access to MRI.

Focal Mass-Forming Autoimmune Pancreatitis Mimicking Pancreatic Cancer: Which strategy?

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis that predominantly affects men in their fifth and sixth decades and often presents with obstructive jaundice and pancreatic enlargement. It is relatively easily diagnosed by characteristics of diffuse swelling of parenchyma and irregular narrowing of the main pancreatic duct. However, focal mass-forming AIP is hard to distinguish from pancreatic cancer.

Background: Infiximab has been shown to be effective in inducing and maintaining remission of intestinal bowel diseases. Infiximab has been associated with many adverse events. Articular manifestations are commonly reported, but they are of variable clinical expression and aetiology.

Evaluation of an interactive teaching method in the teaching of Pulmonology.

Introduction: For several years, interactive teaching has proved its effectiveness in learning. At the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis (FMT), the interactive sessions are sessions of clarification, illustration, application, and participation (CIAP).

Aim: To evaluate pneumology CIAP session in the acquisition of learning by first-year students of the second cycle of medical studies (SCMS1).

[Mesenteric panniculitis associated with acute pancreatitis: about a case].

Mesenteric panniculitis is a nonspecific inflammation involving the mesentery. Its clinical presentation is variable depending on the stage of the disease. Clinical signs are usually pain but half of the patients remain asymptomatic.

[Treatment of idiopathic varicocele: comparative study of three techniques about 128 cases].

Background: Several modalities of varicocele treatment are available, however, no therapeutic technique showed its superiority with regard to the other one.

Aim: To compare the results of three techniques of varicocelecomy.

Methods: Retrospective Analytical and comparative study of 128 patients treated by of three techniques of varicocelectomy: the open surgery by retro peritoneal way for 42 patients (GI), the varicocelectomie coelioscopique for 41 patients (GII) and the antegrade scrotal sclerotherapy done for 45 patients (GIII), between march 2001 and January 2009.

[Isolated splenic metastasis revealing colon cancer].

Splenic metastasis of colon cancer is uncommon especially when isolated. In fact, they are usually associated to multi visceral location. Malignant melanoma, cancer of breast and lung and ovarian carcinoma are the most common cancer which metastases in spleen.
