Urinary Cytology: The DxU-850 Iris automaton versus Microscopic Examination.

Introduction: The use of urine cytobacteriological examination is a common and essential practice in medicine which helps guide therapeutic management in case of urinary tract infection. The cytological examination of urine samples can be done using the manual (microscopic) or automated technique. The automated approach, which involves the use of artificial intelligence, is faster, more reliable, and more efficient for laboratories.

Wound infection with multidrug-resistant Providencia rettgeri: About a case report and littérature review.

Introduction And Importance: , a member of the family within the order, is predominantly associated with urinary tract infections in hospitalized individuals, particularly those with indwelling urinary catheters. However, wound infections caused by are exceedingly rare, with an estimated incidence of around 0.1 %.

Comparison of two automated urine cytometry systems: Sysmex UF-1000i and Beckman Coulter DxU 850 Iris.

Background: Urinary tract infection, defined as the presence of bacteria or yeast in the urinary tract, is the most common community-acquired infection after respiratory infections. The cytobacteriological examination of urine (CBEU) remains the primary diagnostic test for urinary tract infections and is the most frequently conducted test in microbiology laboratories. Direct examination is a crucial step of CBEU, enabling the assessment of cytology, including leukocytes and red blood cells, as well as the identification of crystals, epithelial cells, and microorganisms when present in significant quantities.

Acute cholangitis due to : First case report.

, a Gram-positive bacterium of the Micrococcaceae family, is considered an opportunistic microorganism with only a few reported cases of infection. In this report, we present a case of cholangitis caused by in a 69-year-old woman with a medical history of type 2 diabetes and a cholecystectomy performed a decade ago. She was admitted to the gastroenterology department with symptoms indicative of acute cholangitis.

Microbial ecology of protective isolation room: Air and Surfaces.

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections pose a significant public health burden, leading to morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and substantial social and economic costs. Immunocompromised patients are at a heightened risk of nosocomial infections.

Aim: This prospective study conducted at Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda aimed to assess the microbial ecology of surfaces and air in an immunosuppressed patient room compared to a double hospitalization room.

A very rare case of bacteraemia in a 4-year-old girl with osteopetrosis with probable infection.

() is a Gram-positive coccus of the family . It can be found in a variety of vegetables and dairy products. is an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin.

Prediction of the bacterial shape in urinary tract infections with the Sysmex UF-1000i analyser: technical note.

Background: The aim of our study was to explore the utility of the Sysmex UF-1000i analyzer as a rapid screening tool for urinary tract infections (UTI) and its ability to predict bacterial shape in order to help physicians choose the appropriate empiric treatment.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study, including 1023 urine cytobacteriological examinations. Urines were processed according to the recommendations of the medical microbiology reference system (REMIC).

Cannabis sativa L.: A comprehensive review on legislation, decriminalization, phytochemistry, antimicrobial activity, and safety.

Throughout history, medicinal and aromatic plants have been used extensively to cure a variety of ailments. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Cannabis sativa, specifically focusing on its legislative status, decriminalization, phytochemistry, antimicrobial activity, and safety. The study begins by briefly outlining the plant's history, including its cultivation, harvesting, and storage methods.

Urinary tract infections older adults at Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda: case series.

Unlabelled: Due to its incidence, clinical polymorphism and severity, urinary tract infection is an important problem in elderly. The objectives of the authors' work were to establish the bacteriological profile of urinary tract infection and/or colonization in the elderly and then to study drug resistance of bacterial strains isolated.

Materials And Methods: This is a 36 months retrospective study from 22 March 2016 to 11 May 2019.

Unexpected normal left ventricular systolic function after total chronic occlusion of left main coronary artery and stenosis of right coronary artery: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Total occlusion of the left main coronary artery is a very rare finding in coronary angiography because of its highly lethal nature. Right coronary artery dominance and extensive collateral circulation are the principal determinant factors of survival after total occlusion of the left main coronary artery. The impact on the left ventricle is often significant with a profound alteration of its systolic function.

Reoperation for isolated rheumatic tricuspid regurgitation.

Background: The reoperation for isolated tricuspid regurgitation in rheumatic population is rare and still unclear and controversial because of the rarity of publications. The aim of this study was to analyze short and long-term results and outcome of tricuspid valve surgery after left-sided valve surgery in rheumatic patients.

Methods: Twenty six consecutive rheumatic patients who underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgery after left-sided valve surgery between January 2000 and January2017 were retrospectively registered in the study.

Early results for active infective endocarditis.

Introduction: Cardiac surgery is frequently needed during active phase of infective endocarditis (IE). The purpose of this study was to analyze the immediate and late results and determine the risk factors for death.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 101 patients with IE operated in the active phase.

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of the Maxilla: A Case Report with Literature Review.
