Background/aim: We performed a linguistic validation of the original version of the Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS) into the Moroccan dialect according to Guillemin's guidelines.
Materials And Methods: After translating the English version of the ESS according to the standard guidelines, we asked 120 healthy subjects to complete the questionnaire twice with an interval of 10 days. We assess the acceptability and internal reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, while for the test-retest reproducibility we use the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (95% confidence interval (CI)) and the kappa coefficient.
Introduction: chronic haemodialysis patients are a vulnerable population significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a severe impact on people with co-morbidities and immune system depression, which increases the risk of infection and of developing severe form of COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health and quality of life of chronic haemodialysis patients.
Methods: we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional survey among 175 chronic hemodialysis patients using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview Moroccan Arab Version 5.
The incidence of neuroleptic malignant syndrome justifies the immediate discontinuation of the drug in question and the reinstitution of therapy with another drug. In the case of resistant schizophrenia treated with clozapine, there are insufficient therapeutic options. We report the case of a young patient followed up for resistant schizophrenia who developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome after 5 years of therapy with clozapine.

Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on chromosomal abnormalities as key contributors to birth defects and miscarriages, specifically examining cases in Eastern Morocco for the first time.
- Out of 195 patients studied, 16.4% were found to have chromosomal abnormalities, with common issues being Turner syndrome and Down syndrome, along with structural changes like translocations.
- A unique case of a de novo partial trisomy 13q with a 1-Mb deletion was identified in an 11-day-old girl, highlighting the variability in phenotypes associated with such chromosomal changes.
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is characterized by abnormal and involuntary movements that generally occur after prolonged exposure to neuroleptic medications. In this article, we present the case of a 29-year-old man with schizophrenia who developed TD following treatment with haloperidol. Despite various attempts with benzodiazepines, amantadine, and anticholinergics, the dyskinesias persisted.

- - The study investigates the connection between schizophrenia and PTSD in Morocco, highlighting that individuals with severe psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia are at a higher risk for developing PTSD after experiencing traumatic events.
- - Conducted over three months, the research included 187 patients, predominantly male (76%), and found a 14% prevalence of PTSD among them, with several significant factors identified, including stressful events and varying schizophrenia symptom scores.
- - The findings emphasize the need for awareness of the schizophrenia-PTSD comorbidity, as failing to recognize it may result in ineffective treatments and a decline in patients' quality of life.
