Purpose Of The Study: Our aim was to study the distribution and the fertility of the hydatid cysts in function of the age and the sex of patients and to identify the strain(s) responsible(s) of the children hydatidosis.
Patients And Methods: We have analyzed a total of 241 cysts coming from 195 children aged 2 to 16 years operated in the CHU F. Bourguiba of Monastir during the period from November 1999 to December 2009. For each cyst, the localization and the fertility of the métacestode as well as age, sex and origin of the patient are listed. Identification of strains was carried out by PCR/RFLP and has targeted the ribosomal gene ITS1.
Results: The lung was the primary localization of cyst (61.8%) followed by the liver (34.85%). The greatest number of cases is observed in the age groups 4-9 years (138 cases) where children's infection is more frequent in the male than in the female sex. The fertility of the cyst was independent of its site or its size and no incidence of age of children was detected. The G1 sheep strain is responsible for the contamination of children.
Conclusion: The cystic echinococcosis described as a young adult disease may actually observed at any age and remains a serious problem of public health in Tunisia.

Objective: Reverse obliquity intertrochanteric fracture is an unstable type of fracture. Current guidelines recommend intramedullary fixation, but there are still complications such as screw removal, hip varus, nail withdrawal, and nail fracture. The objective of this study was to use finite element analysis to compare the biomechanical properties of the novel proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN), proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), and combined compression interlocking intramedullary nail (InterTan) in the treatment of reverse obliquity intertrochanteric fractures (AO/OTA 31-A3.

High degree of variability in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) system restricts availability of histocompatible HLA-matched-related donors, thus increasing reliance on worldwide bone marrow registries network. Nevertheless, due to limited coverage/accessibility/affordability of some ethnicities in these registries, haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged as an alternative option, though with allorecognition-mediated graft versus host disease (GvHD) (>40% cases). A dimorphism [-21 methionine (M) or threonine (T)] in HLA-B leader peptide (exon 1) which differentially influences its HLA-E binding, plausibly regulates natural killer cell functionality, affecting GvHD vulnerability and clinically in practice for donor selection.

Individuals diagnosed with Castleman disease (CD) and TAFRO syndrome (characterized by thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, bone marrow fibrosis, and organomegaly) displays a wide range of clinical symptoms, including varying patterns of lymph node enlargement, systemic inflammation, and impaired organ function. Some patients may present with both CD and TAFRO syndrome concurrently. A retrospective study conducted across multiple centers in Japan examined 321 cases to determine if the quantity and position of swollen lymph nodes could forecast the clinical progression and intensity of these conditions.
