Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between inherited thrombophilia, specifically Factor V Leiden (FVL) and Prothrombin mutations (PTM), and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in 35 Tunisian women who experienced multiple miscarriages.
- - DNA analysis revealed FVL in 5.7% and PTM in 2.9% of participants with a history of early fetal loss and thrombotic events.
- - The findings highlight the need for genetic testing for these mutations in women facing RPL and stress the importance of collaborative research to better understand their impact on pregnancy outcomes and potential treatments.
Background: Food allergy (FA) has become a major public health concern affecting millions of children and adults worldwide. In Tunisia, published data on FA are scarce.
Methods: This study, was intended to fill the gap and estimate the frequency of allergy to different foods in the Sfax region, Tunisia, within self-reported FA.
In this study, biocompatible electrospun nanofiber scaffolds were produced using poly(-caprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS) and (NS) seed extract, and their potential for biomedical applications was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), total porosity measurements, and water contact angle measurements were used to evaluate the electrospun nanofibrous mats. Additionally, the antibacterial activities of and were investigated, as well as cell cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity, using MTT and DPPH assays, respectively.

We describe the case of 58-year-old man who, over the course of several years, had multiple skin lesions and colon cancer. The syndrome was diagnosed using Sanger sequencing, which allowed us to find the causative mutation.

Aims: The purpose of this study is to report the prevalence of chromosome abnormalities in RPL and provide clinical characteristics of couples with two and more miscarriages.
