Treatment of infection 14-day concomitant quadruple therapy versus triple therapy: A parallel double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Successful (Hp) eradication with the traditional 7-day course of proton pump inhibitor triple therapy is declining. Prolonging therapy to 14 days is associated with better eradication rates. Most learned societies recommend concomitant quadruple therapy (QC) as a first-line alternative therapy for this bacterial infection.

Noncalcifying type of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor: A rare case report and literature review.

Key Clinical Message: There has been a recent spike in reporting of noncalcifying variants of CEOT with the WHO 2022 classification of head and neck tumors. The present case describes a rare histopathological variant of CEOT of which a handful of cases have been reported.

Abstract: This work aimed to report a rare case of noncalcifying type of Pindborg Tumor involving the right mandible.

A rare pediatric renal tumor: Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma.

The histological features of cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN) require a thorough sampling of the surgical specimen and the application of immunohistochemical techniques to confirm the diagnosis.

Cystic form of Actinomycotic mycetoma: A new case with a diagnostic challenge.

Mycetoma, commonly known as Madura foot, is a chronic granulomatous infection caused either by fungi (eumycetoma) known as actinomycete. This disease occurs preferentially in young adults, and it affects the foot in particular. We report a Tunisian case of mycetoma occurring in an old patient, particular by its cystic presentation.

Effect of precipitating factors of acute heart failure on readmission and long-term mortality.

Aims: Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the leading causes of unscheduled hospitalization and is associated with frequent readmissions and substantial mortality. Precipitating factors of AHF influence short-term mortality, but their effect on outcome after hospital discharge is unknown. The present study assessed the effect of precipitating factors on readmission and long-term survival in the overall population and in patients aged 75 years or younger.

AGT M235t polymorphism and heart failure in a cohort of Tunisian population: diagnostic and prognostic value.

Activity of the renin-angiotensin Aldosterone system is increased in patients with heart failure (HF). The Angiotensinogen gene and specifically M235T polymorphism has been linked to susceptibility to hypertension, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation. Its role in heart failure is not yet sufficiently demonstrated.
