A systematic review on gut-brain axis aberrations in bipolar disorder and methods of balancing the gut microbiota.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a mood disorder that affects millions worldwide. Up to half of the diagnosed patients are reported to not receive adequate treatment.

The Importance of Sociocultural Factors for Understanding and Managing Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder: The Example of Muslim Societies.

Although potentially disabling for couples, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (GPP/PD) is still not well understood. In Muslim countries, this condition reaches high levels, which could be because of the traditional social background. In this study, we aimed to identify the sociocultural determinants leading to GPP/PD in countries in the Middle East/North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Turkey and to discuss the implications on management.

Successful delivery in a woman with ventricular septal defect complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome: case report.

Eisenmenger syndrome is a dramatic complication of certain heart diseases. It is an absolute contra-indication to pregnancy because it holds a high risk of maternal-fetal mortality. Nowadays, we don´t see much of this condition, because congenital heart defects are diagnosed during childhood, infancy, or prenatally; and even if a pregnancy occurs, it is usually terminated as soon as it is diagnosed.

Management of sigmoid volvulus during labor : a challenging situation.

Report of a Rare Case of Beta-Thalassemia Major With Subperiosteal Hematomas.

Beta-thalassemia represents a range of hemoglobinopathies that are a consequence of an impairment in the synthesis of beta-globin chains. They result in different degrees of hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis, depending on the underlying mutations. They can lead to severe complications mainly resulting from anemia.

Benign adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: a case report.

The diagnosis of adenomyoepitheliomas is difficult and relies on the presence of a double component of epithelial and myoepithelial cells belonging to the breast lobules and ducts. The clinical and imaging characteristics are not specific; thus, the diagnosis is histological. In this article, we present a case of a young female who presented with a 2 cm lump in the breast without other clinical symptoms, which revealed a benign adenomyoepithelioma (AME).

[Severe neonatal thrombocytopenia due to maternal alloimmunization: case report and literature review].

Prior to 1970, maternal alloimmunization was the leading cause of perinatal death. Currently, it has become rarer thanks to screening and monitoring in high-risk pregnancies. The advent of transcranial doppler has been a turning point in the monitoring of these pregnancies, as it is a reliable, non-invasive method for the diagnosis of fetal anemia.
