Background: In Africa, epilepsy is a real burden. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common drug-resistant focal epilepsy disorder, and temporal lobectomy is the most common effective treatment for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Objective: We aim to highlight the Moroccan experience in epilepsy surgery and to ascertain its long-term outcome.
Objective: In Morocco, there was a lack of data related to the epidemiology of epilepsy. This data serves as a useful basis for the development of any national intervention or action program against epilepsy in Morocco. Through this study, we aimed to estimate the active and lifetime prevalence of epilepsy in Morocco.

Methods: We retrospectively assessed culture yield among asymptomatic individuals (largely men who have sex with men) who attended for sexual health screening and had a positive NAAT.
Introduction: the validity of the upper limb neurodynamic tests and especially the upper limb neurodynamic test 1 for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome has been the subject of several previous studies. However, the upper limb neurodynamic test 2A, which is also a test designated to assess the mechanosensitivity of the median nerve, has not been sufficiently studied, particularly for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Methods: we used the upper limb neurodynamic test 2A as the index test and nerve conduction studies as the reference standard.
