[Husband to wife renal transplantatation and pretransplant HLA immunization: about two cases].

Renal transplantation is the best therapeutic approach for end-stage kidney disease. Renal transplantation can be performed using living donors or brain-dead donors. Vaccination in recipients poses a real problem with the transplantation process because it is responsible for particular difficulties in choosing a donor and above all exposes to the risk of transplant rejection.

[Naevus unius lateris: a confusing entity (a case report)].

Naevus unius lateris is a rare congenital hamartoma, originating from the ectoderm. It is considered as a verruquous variant of the epidermal naevus. Given its extensive unilateral distribution, it is frequently associated with neurological, musculoskeletal, auditory and visual abnormalities.

[Healthcare professionals and COVID-19 in Morocco: accident at work or occupational disease?].

Self-denial and sense of duty are fundamental ethical principles in health care. Since the outbreak of health crisis, healthcare workers have been the first bulwark against the spread of coronavirus, and therefore, the occupational category at higher risk of contamination. In this regard, in a statement dated 23 March 2020, the World Health Organization published a guidance regarding the management of the disease caused by Covid-19 in health workers, but also in workers employed in all sectors exposed to the risk of contamination.

[Ballantyne syndrome associated with fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma: a case report].

Ballantyne syndrome or mirror syndrome was first described in 1892. It is a disorder affecting pregnant women describing the association of fetal anasarca complicated by more or less generalized maternal edema and albuminuria (and sometimes anemia). It is a rare clinical entity.

[Combined deficiency of clotting factor V and factor VIII: about three siblings].

Combined deficiency of clotting factor V and factor VIII (DF5F8) is a congenital autosomal recessive disorder. This study involved a family of four children born to consanguineous parents. The eldest daughter was referred for assessment of activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time associated with hemorrhagic manifestations.

Homozygous nonsense mutation of gene in a Moroccan family with split-hand foot malformation identified by exome sequencing: a case report.

Split-hand foot malformation (SHFM) is a clinically heterogeneous congenital limb defect affecting predominantly the central rays of hands and/or feet. The clinical expression varies in severity between patients as well between the limbs in the same individual. SHFM might be non-syndromic with limb-confined manifestations or syndromic with extra-limb manifestations.

Needs of Young African Neurosurgeons and Residents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Africa has many untreated neurosurgical cases due to limited access to safe, affordable, and timely care. In this study, we surveyed young African neurosurgeons and trainees to identify challenges to training and practice. African trainees and residents were surveyed online by the Young Neurosurgeons Forum from April 25th to November 30th, 2018.

[Median mandibular cleft in adults: a case report and literature review].

Orofacial clefts are common congenital malformations. Tessier's classification system is the most widely used; it consists of 30 variants including median mandibular clefts (Tessier's cleft No. 30).

Cause inhabituelle d´une occlusion colique, sténose anale post-radique: à propos d´un cas et revue de la littératurePost-radiation anal stenosis as an unusual cause of colic occlusion: case study and literature review.

Résumé L´occlusion radique est une complication grave de l´entéropathie radique. Elle survient chez les patients sous radiothérapie suivis pour cancer gynécologique ou du rectum. Sa prise en charge nécessite une attention particulière pour améliorer la survie de ces patients.

Identification and management of Lynch syndrome in the Middle East and North African countries: outcome of a survey in 12 countries.

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common inherited form of colorectal cancer (CRC), is responsible for 3% of all cases of CRC. LS is caused by a mismatch repair gene defect and is characterized by a high risk for CRC, endometrial cancer and several other cancers. Identification of LS is of utmost importance because colonoscopic surveillance substantially improves a patient's prognosis.

Non-cryopreserved peripheral blood stem cells autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma: Bicentric study.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the toxicity of autologous transplantation of non-frozen peripheral blood stem cells in Moroccan patients with multiple myeloma.

Material And Methods: This was a bicentric retrospective study conducted in the Clinical Haematology Department of Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital and at the Al Madina Clinic in Casablanca. The study period was from January 2015 to June 2019.

[Not Available].

Massive influx of burns (thermal, chemical or electrical) is a potential crisis situation in the world in peacetime. In fact, burn is one of the most frequently encountered injuries following natural or human disasters. The management of a massive influx of burn victims is considered to be a real challenge, not only from a medical point of view but also from a logistical and organizational point of view.

[Cytomegalovirus cholestasis in an immunocompetent host].

Primary infection or reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) can induce in immunocompromised patients a severe disease depending on the type of immuno-suppression, and can affect multiple organs. On the other hand, the infection is benign and mostly asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals who do not require antiviral treatment. Rare cases of primary infection have been documented.

[Difficult immunofixation electrophoresis interpretation of serum proteins].

Immunofixation is currently very used in medical laboratories. The interpretation of the results is usually easy, but some cases raise interpretative problems. We here report two cases difficult to interpret.

[Scleroatrophic extragenital lichen and inflammatory vitiligo in children: a rare association].

Scleroatrophic lichen (SL) and vitiligo are two depigmenting disorders which may occur separately or, rarely, in combination. Their association may seem logical because both these disorders are characterized by the suspicion of an autoimmune pathogenesis. We here report the case of a 8-year old girl, with no notable medical history, presenting with achromic macules and papular nonpruritic lesions evolving over 6 months.
