Mediastinal Bronchogenic Cysts Resection in Adults: Results of Vats and Thoracotomy Procedures.

Background: The objectives of our study are to evaluate our surgical experience of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst (MBC) and to determine the results of resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT).

Methods: The demographic characteristics, clinical and radiological features intraoperative data, outcomes and fol- low-up information were reviewed and analyzed from 38 patients who underwent resection of a MBC between 2008 and 2019.

Results: cystectomy was performed for thirty eight patients included in the present study.

Clinical features and treatment of bronchial rupture of pulmonary hydatid cyst in children: a retrospective study of 36 patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to review the clinical symptoms, radiological data, surgical techniques, and postoperative complications associated with bronchial rupture of pulmonary hydatid cysts in children and evaluate the results of surgical treatment.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of 40 surgical procedures performed for pulmonary hydatid cyst ruptured in the bronchial tree in 36 children (22 boys and 14 girls), aged between 7 and 18 from January 2009 to December 2019.

Results: The study included 36 patients with a mean age of 14.

Surgical treatment of hydatidothorax in children: A retrospective study of 19 patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the role of surgical management of ruptured hydatid cysts into the pleural cavity in children. A review of the management of patients with intrapleural rupture of pulmonary hydatid cysts in children at our center was performed.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on all children who developed intrapleural rupture of a hydatid cyst in the lung.

Prevalence, antimicrobial resistance and serotype distribution of group B streptococcus isolated among pregnant women and newborns in Rabat, Morocco.

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is an important cause of neonatal sepsis worldwide. Data on the prevalence of maternal GBS colonization, risk factors for carriage, antibiotic susceptibility and circulating serotypes are necessary to tailor adequate locally relevant public health policies. A prospective study including pregnant women and their newborns was conducted between March and July 2013 in Morocco.

Vitamin D status in Moroccan pregnant women and newborns: reports of 102 cases.

Introduction: Vitamin D insufficiency to pregnant women has been associated with a number of adverse consequences, and has been recognized as a public health concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate vitamin D status of Morrocan pregnant women and their newborns. Our study is being the first of its kind in Morocco, as it supports the program of systematic supplementation of pregnant women in the third quarter.

Risk factors leading to preterm births in Morocco: a prospective study at the maternity Souissi in Rabat.

Introduction: Eminent morbidity and mortality of preterm infants is perceived, especially in developing countries. The aim of the study is to identify the main factors involved in the occurrence of premature births in Morocco.

Methods: This was a descriptive and analytical study conducted at the maternity Souissi in Rabat, from January 2011 to December 2011.

The Bedouin mutation c.155-166del of the TBCE gene in a patient with Sanjad-Sakati syndrome of Moroccan origin.

Sanjad-Sakati syndrome (SSS) or hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism syndrome (HDR) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. It is characterized by the association of congenital hypothyroidism, growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, epilepsy, dysmorphic features (microcephaly, facial, eye, and dental anomalies), and abnormalities of the extremities. The prevalence of SSS is unknown.

First report of a Klebsiella pneumoniae ST466 strain causing neonatal sepsis harbouring the blaCTX-M-15 gene in Rabat, Morocco.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the Gram-negative bacilli most commonly found in urine of pregnant women and causing neonatal sepsis. The aim of this study was to analyse in terms of epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of 23 K. pneumoniae isolates collected from vaginal swabs or urine of pregnant women, from pharyngeal and ear swabs of apparently healthy newborns and from peripheral cultures and hemocultures of newborns with suspected invasive neonatal infection in Rabat, Morocco.

Askin tumor mimicking a hydatid cyst of the lung in children: case report.

Askin tumor is a malignant small round cell tumor that originates from the thoracopulmonary region, usually observed in young subjects. We report a case of askin tumor in a 11 year-old men, who had in his past history a surgery for hydatid cyst of the liver, actually hospitalised for right pulmonary upper lobe mass of the lung. After resection of the mass, the pathological exam confirmed the diagnosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).

Analgesic effect of 30% glucose, milk and non-nutritive sucking in neonates.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate nondrug management practices concerning pain induced by blood sampling in newborns in a Moroccan neonatal unit and to determine whether the results reported from a randomized clinical study of nondrug analgesia could be reproduced in a routine care setting.

Methods: Standardized prospective observation of analgesic practices used during blood sampling was performed. Pain was assessed using the Douleur Aiguë Nouveau-né (DAN, [Newborn Acute Pain]) scale that incorporates facial expression, vocal expression, and limb movements of the newborn during realization of a painful procedure.

A patient with traumatic chylothorax.

Chylothorax refers to the accumulation of chyle in the pleural cavity. Although rare, it is the most frequent cause of pleural effusion in the neonatal period. Its incidence is estimated at one in 15,000 neonates.

Neonatal epididymo-orchitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a case report.

Epididymitis and epididymo-orchitis are an uncommon causes of acute testicular pain in neonatal boys, epididymo-orchitis is infection or inflammation of epididymis and testis it's may be associated with urinary tract infections or reflux of urine predisposed by an underlying vasal anomaly. Pediatricians should examine the testicles meticulously after a baby is born.We report a 7 day-old boy with urinary malformations (ureteral duplication, ureterocel and right hydro-ureteronephrosis) who presented with acute scrotum.
