Knosp and revised Knosp classifications predict non-functioning pituitary adenoma outcomes: a single tertiary center experience.

Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are hormonally inactive benign tumors, usually diagnosed as macro-adenoma. The aim of our research was to analyze the clinical and hormonal characteristics of NFPAs using Knosp and revised Knosp classifications. Furthermore, we aimed to assess the possibility of predicting surgical remission after surgery.

Correlation between ultrasonographic and cytologic features of thyroid nodules: a single-center cross-sectional study.

A thyroid nodule is managed according to the clinical context, ultrasound (US) findings, and fine needle aspiration (FNA) results. Most thyroid nodules are benign; however, nodule classification is crucial to avoid unnecessary thyroid surgery. We conducted this study to compare the findings of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) expressed using the Bethesda system with the features of thyroid US classified using the EU-TIRADS classification to assess the risk of malignancy.

Apoplexy of a giant clival ectopic prolactinoma: A very rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Ectopic pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (EPNET) is a very rare entity, seldom with apoplexy evolution. Only three cases of intracranial ectropic pituitary neuroendocrine tumor apoplexy were reported in the literature.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a history of amenorrhea, and headaches.

The Antispasmodic Effect of Essential Oil in Experimental Models and its Mechanism of Action.

With several medicinal and aromatic species, the Asteraceae family is one of the largest angiosperm families. The genus is represented in this family by only one species, . In Moroccan traditional medicine, this species is widely used to treat gastrointestinal problems.

Flexible insulin therapy improves metabolic control and decreases the risk of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic patients.

Introduction: flexible insulin therapy (FIT) is considered as a crucial turning point in the management of type 1 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of this optimum therapeutic approach on improving metabolic control and decreasing hypoglycemic events in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: thirty-seven type 1 diabetic patients were included in a five days training programme of FIT.

[Contact dermatitis caused by elastic bands from surgical mask].

Preventive measures including mask wearing are crucial in slowing the transmission of COVID-19 disease. However, prolonged wearing of protective masks can easily generate excessive sweating, moisture and friction. Closed and warm environments heighten the skin's permeability and sensitivity to physical or chemical irritants, leading to chronic cumulative irritant contact dermatitis or, rarely, even allergic contact dermatitis.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the scrotum: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is the most common form of cutaneous lymphangioma. However, scrotal LC is rare.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 37-year-old patient with a complaint of a slow growing painless scrotal grouped lesions present for the past ten years diagnosed as LC.

Half and half nail, is it a marker of severe COVID-19 infection?

Introduction: Several cutaneous manifestations have been described during COVID-19 infection, however ungual signs remain neglected. Half and half nail or Lindsay nails is a rare clinical finding, frequently seen in chronic renal failure, and many other disorders.

Case Report: We report 2 cases of half and half nail aspect occurring during severe COVID-19 infection, without a history of kidney disease, suggesting that 'Lindsay Nails' can be considered as a severity marker.

When an uncommon condyloma revealed a multiple myeloma: Case report.

Introduction And Importance: Condyloma are a common and easily diagnosticated condition that could affect the area around and inside the anus. But a nodular perianal lesion is not always a simple condyloma.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 61-year-old patient with nodular perianal lesions mimicking condyloma that has revealed an amylosis and a multiple myeloma.

Myorelaxant and antispasmodic effect of an aqueous extract of Artemisia campestris L. via calcium channel blocking and anticholinergic pathways.

Intestinal spasms are violent contractions that occur in the intestine, which cause discomfort to people who have them. Medicinal plants are widely used in traditional Moroccan medicine to treat these problems, among these being Artemisia campestris L. This study aims to evaluate the relaxant and antispasmodic effects of an aqueous extract of this plant (ACAE).

Erythema multiforme eruption due to SARS-COV 2: Case report.

Introduction: and importance: The COVID-19 is a global pandemic that is now responsible for more than around the world. Its cutaneous manifestations in patients are being increasingly reported. This case brings additional data implementing the knowledge on the dermatological signs during COVID-19.

Feasibility and Efficiency of a Novel Bolus Calculator (IF-DIABETE) for Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: A Nonrandomized Single-Arm Pilot Study.

Background The IF-DIABETE system is an insulin bolus dose support, considered as the first bolus calculator dedicated to people with type 1 diabetes, designed in the Arabic language, and adapted to the large Arabic food culture. Our aims were to assess the proof of concept and efficiency of the IF-DIABETE system in improving clinical and metabolic outcomes in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Methods This is a prospective nonrandomized single-arm pilot study.

Anticorrosion effect of a green sustainable inhibitor on mild steel in hydrochloric acid.

Green inhibitors are an important way to decrease the corrosion rate of different industrial metals. The present work shows the corrosion behavior of the mild steel medium (MS) in hydrochloric acid 1 M by the aqueous extract of Artemisia Herba Alba (AHA), which is an green sustainable inhibitor to reduce its corrosive action by exploiting a variety of techniques and methods namely: Weight loss, electrochemical techniques [electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP], SEM-EDX, XPS and theoretical calculations for the majority molecule. Hydrodistillation is the extraction method that has been used to prepare the aqueous extracts.

Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome and Dandy-Walker Malformation: An Uncommon Association.

Ellis-Van Creveld (EvC) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive chondroectodermal dysplasia including chondrodysplasia, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital heart disease in 60% of patients. Additional findings may be observed affecting the pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, hematologic, and central nervous systems. We report a case of an 11-year-old Moroccan boy with EVC syndrome and Dandy-Walker malformation.
