Introduction: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare autoinflammatory disease characterized by sterile inflammation of bony tissue. Although it has distinct clinical and radiologic features, it is often misdiagnosed, leading to inappropriate and delayed treatment. Indeed, at the origin the disease can have an exclusive maxillofacial location and so be, at least clinically, difficult to prove.

This condition may occur spontaneously or after craniofacial trauma; in this case the fistula takes place on the same side as the craniofacial fracture and becomes symptomatic within a few weeks. The diagnosis is clinical; it must be evoked before any post-traumatic proptosis.

- Lingual tuberculosis, a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, often presents as a chronic non-healing lesion in the mouth, which can be mistaken for cancer.
- A case study involving a 36-year-old woman highlights this misdiagnosis, as her lesion was initially thought to be a malignant fissure but was confirmed to be tuberculosis through a biopsy.
- The report emphasizes the need for awareness of tuberculosis in cases of persistent oral lesions, as early recognition and treatment can lead to positive outcomes.
Introduction: Post-operative infections in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to develop a practical and efficient prognostic index for early identification and possible prediction of post-transplant infections using risk factors identified by multivariate analysis.
Material And Methods: One hundred patients with post-hepatitic cirrhosis, HCV positive, genotype 4, Child B/C or MELD score 13-25 undergoing LDLT were included.
Aims: To assess incidence and risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy among a sample of women from Egypt and to evaluate its impact on maternal and fetal adverse health outcomes.
Materials And Methods: After obtaining ethical approval, a total of 1,857 women aged 18 - 43 years completed the study and were investigated using an interview questionnaire. The questionnaire contains five main items: demographic characteristics of women, intimate partner characteristics, assessment of IPV during current pregnancy, and assessment of maternal as well as fetal/neonatal adverse outcomes.
