Acute post-traumatic dermoid peritonitis: A rare entity.

Rupture of ovarian dermoid-cyst is rare case. We report the case of a woman admitted for acute post-traumatic abdominal pain due to ruptured ovarian cyst. The patient was operated and we found a very abundant peritoneal effusion with left ovarian cyst which was broken.

Subclinical left ventricle impairment following breast cancer radiotherapy: Is there an association between segmental doses and segmental strain dysfunction?

Background: Cardiotoxicity following breast cancer radiotherapy (RT) represents one of the most redoubtable toxicities. The Global longitudinal strain measurement (GLS) based on 2D speckle tracking imaging (STI) allows detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction at a subclinical stage. The aim of this prospective study was to detect patients at risk of cardiotoxicity using echocardiographic parameters and to determine the association between segmental RT doses and early cardiac toxicity.
