Born in Grenoble in 1793 Clot was first a doctor in Marseilles with great success and honour. But for unclear reasons he had to resign, and then decided to be recruited in Egypt, where he was soon called "Clot-Bey" (Bey = officer)": he contributed greatly to modernizing Egyptian medical system: he founded the School of medicine, that of pharmacy, and that of obstetrics, and promoted hygiens and variolisation. After Mehmet Ali abdicated he lost most of his influence, and left Egypt for ever in 1858.

Background: Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare condition with multiple congenital anomalies, caused by hemizygote variants in the gene. Its description was based mostly on old case reports, in whom a molecular diagnosis was not always available, or on small series. The aim of this study was to better delineate the phenotype and the natural history of AAS and to provide clues for the diagnosis and the management of the patients.

Purpose Of Review: While lipid-lowering therapies demonstrate efficacy, many patients still contend with significant residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The intestine plays a pivotal role in regulating circulating lipoproteins levels, thereby exerting influence on ASCVD pathogenesis. This review underscores recent genetic findings from the last six years that delineate new biological pathways and actors in the intestine which regulate lipid-related ASCVD risk.

Background: The human microbiome is crucial in regulating intestinal and systemic functions. While its role in cardiovascular disease is better understood, the link between intestinal microbiota and valvular heart diseases (VHD) remains largely unexplored.
Methods: Peer-reviewed studies on human, animal or cell models analysing gut microbiota profiles published up to April 2024 were included.

Introduction: Tuberculous otomastoiditis is a rare and serious infection that most often occurs in association with pulmonary involvement. It is easy to diagnose when the two pathologies are associated and isolated. We herein report the case of a patient initially hospitalized for Pseudomonas aeruginosa necrotising otitis externa (NOE), which delayed the diagnosis of tuberculous otomastoiditis.
