Reference Values for Spirometry in Moroccan Adults.

Introduction: This novel study aimed to establish spirometric reference values and prediction equations based on a sample of the adult Moroccan population, an endeavor that has not been attempted previously.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study involving healthy Moroccan adults, data was collected through a mobile spirometry setup.

Results: Our sample comprised 841 healthy adults (384 men and 457 women) aged 18-86 years who underwent spirometry.

[Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis: A report on two familial cases in Morocco].

Introduction: Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare autosomal recessive disease. The majority of patients are asymptomatic. The disease is often diagnosed on routine radiological examination.

Antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: A large French cohort study (RETROPLACOTEL).

Background: It is unclear whether hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) patients can tolerate antithrombotic therapies (AT) including antiplatelet (AP) and/or anticoagulant (AC) agents.

Objectives: Primary endpoint was tolerance to AT in HHT. Secondary endpoints were to identify factors associated with major bleeding events (MBE) and premature discontinuation of AT.

Intrathoracic gas effusions in patients with COVID-19.

Current evidence suggests that intrathoracic gas effusions (pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax) may be observed among COVID-19 patients even without mechanical ventilation. Here, we report 9 patients who developed spontaneous intrathoracic gas effusions in the absence of mechanical ventilation. The incidence of spontaneous intrathoracic gas effusions is low at 0.
