Traumatic iliac muscle hematoma: A rare etiology of quadriceps palsy (case report).

Introduction And Importance: Quadriceps palsy is a sign of femoral nerve injury. Classically it is a compression of the nerve by a haematoma of the iliopsoas muscle in haemophiliacs and patients on anticoagulants. Could this haematoma form after a trauma in a healthy athlete?

Case Presentation: We report a case of 16-year-old kickboxer with no previous history who had been complaining of the left groin for 3 weeks after being struck in the left iliac fossa.

SMAD3, Cell proliferation and lymph nodes metastasis in breast cancer hormone-dependent.

Introduction: Tumor Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. TGF-β is also involved in various pathologies including breast cancer (BC). BC is strongly dependent on hormone receptors such as Estrogen receptors (ERa, ERb) and Progesterone Receptor (PR).

Segmental renal vein thrombosis: An unusual complication of acute pyelonephritis.

Renal vein thrombosis is not a common manifestation in the context of acute pyelonephritis. We report the case of a 29-year-old female diabetic patient that was admitted to our department for an episode of complicated acute pyelonephritis. Initial imaging showed a left lower polar abscess of 27 mm and urine cultures grew community acquired K.

Pelvic leiomyoma associated with intermediate risk prostate cancer: A case report.

Pelvic leiomyoma in male patients is a very rare occurrence and its association with prostate cancer is a unique clinical situation. This study reports a new case of a 9 cm pelvic Leiomyoma associated with intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer in a 68-year-old patient. The leiomyoma was discovered fortuitously after an MRI was performed in the context of prostate cancer work-up.

Bilateral renal hydatid disease associated with complex urolithiasis: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The association of bilateral renal hydatid cysts and complex urolithiasis is unprecedented. We herein report the case of a patient presenting with both diseases.

Case Presentation: A 56-year-old female patient with a history of chronic kidney disease presented with right flank pain.

STAT-5 and STAT-6 in Breast Cancer: Potential Crosstalk With Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors Can Affect Cell Proliferation and Metastasis.

Background: Signal transducers and activators of transcription 5a and 6 (STAT5a and STAT6) play a critical role in tumorigenesis of mammary glands. Based on previous studies, the breast cancer is largely dependent on hormone receptors. Consequently, it is very interesting to decipher the relationship between the STAT5a and STAT6 expression and the molecular distribution of estrogen receptors (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) in mammary tumors.

The flavonoid, kaempferol-3-O-apiofuranosyl-7-O-rhamnopyranosyl, as a potential therapeutic agent for breast cancer with a promoting effect on ovarian function.

It is widely known that breast cancer cells eventually develop resistance to hormonal drugs and chemotherapies, which often compromise fertility. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the flavonoid, kaempferol-3-O-apiofuranosyl-7-O-rhamnopyranosyl (KARP), on 1) the viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells and 2) ovarian function in rats. A dose-dependent decrease in MCF-7 cell survival was observed, and the IC50 value was found to be 48 μg/ml.

Synthesis of magnetite derivatives nanoparticles and their application for the removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions.

Nowadays there is a continuously increasing worldwide concern for the development of efficient wastewaters treatment technologies. Among the heavy metal ions, chromium holds a distinct position due to its high toxic nature to biological systems. This study aims to assess magnetite derivatives nanoparticles for the removal of Cr(VI) species.

ERα and ERβ co-expression: An indicator of aggressive tumors and hormonal sensitivity.

The estrogen receptors (ERs) ERα and ERβ are important factors in breast cancer progression. Nevertheless, the molecular interplay between ERα and ERβ and its clinical significance in breast cancer is controversial. The establishment of a clear association is required; therefore, the current study analyzed the expression patterns of ERα and ERβ in 32 breast tumor tissues using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

[Isoniazid acetylation in a group of Tunisian patients. Report of 620 patients].

Isoniazid is a first line antituberculosis drug metabolized mainly in the liver by the Nacetyltransferase. There are differences between individuals in acetylation metabolism. Subjects are thereby characterized as being rapid or slow acetylators.

[Obesity and life style in a population of male school children aged 6 to 10 years in Ariana (Tunisia)].

The increase of the prevalence of the obesity in childhood puts in reason some factors of the environment and the way of life of the child that encourage the hold of weight at these topics of as much more that if they are exposed genetically. A prospective survey has been done close to 3148 school boy aged of 6 to 10 years and who were schooled in the gouvernorat of Ariana showed that the prevalence of the obesity is around 3.7%.
