Aneurysmal bone cyst of the calcaneus: A rare case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign lytic bone tumor of the skeletal system but locally destructive lesion of unknown origin. It often occurs in childhood and usually involves the metaphyseal region of long bones; thus, its localisation in the calcaneum remains rare; its atypical presentation in our case makes it remarkable.

Case Presentation: We describe a case of a young patient who suffered from chronic heel pain, in whom the clinical examination finds swelling and pain on palpation.

Diets and Joint Symptoms: A Survey of Moroccan Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease.

Introduction The role of diet in the onset or aggravation of chronic diseases, especially chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease (CIRD), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondyloarthritis (SpA), is a question frequently asked by patients. Our study aims to investigate whether Moroccan patients report a relationship between certain diets and disease symptoms and to study whether patients adopt specific dietary behaviours in order to relieve their symptoms. Methods This is a cross-sectional survey that included all patients followed for CIRD.

Weightlifting Induced Spinal Accessory Nerve Palsy and Winged Scapula: A Case Report.

Winged scapula is a rare musculoskeletal condition with numerous etiologies including spinal accessory nerve (SAN) palsy. Sport activities are rarely implicated with few scattered case reports. We report a case of an 18-year-old bodybuilder who suffered SAN palsy secondary to weightlifting exercises.

Unmasking Idiopathic Brugada ECG Pattern: Inducible Type 1 Brugada Pattern in a Young Patient and Clinical Implications.

Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited channelopathy associated with an increased risk of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, leading to syncope and sudden cardiac death. We present a case report of a young patient with an inducible type 1 Brugada pattern on an electrocardiogram (ECG), accompanied by a comprehensive literature review. The 19-year-old patient presented with dizziness and exhibited a type 2 Brugada pattern on admission ECG, which converted to a type 1 pattern following an Ajmaline test.

Intrathoracic gas effusions in patients with COVID-19.

Current evidence suggests that intrathoracic gas effusions (pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax) may be observed among COVID-19 patients even without mechanical ventilation. Here, we report 9 patients who developed spontaneous intrathoracic gas effusions in the absence of mechanical ventilation. The incidence of spontaneous intrathoracic gas effusions is low at 0.

Implementing the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer in Morocco: Survival study for the six indexed childhood cancers.

Background: In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC). The goal is to achieve a global survival rate of at least 60% for all children with cancer by 2030. Morocco was designated as a pilot country for this initiative.

Site Injection Reaction, Maculopapular Rash, and Rosacea Exacerbation after COVID-19 Vaccination.

To date, the occurrence of adverse events following immunization after COVID-19 vaccine is rare, and their report is still very poor; however, causality assessment is conducted to identify the associated cause, if they occur. In this case report, we present a case of an association of three cutaneous manifestations (maculopapular exanthem with enanthem, site injection reaction, and rosacea exacerbation) occurring three days after taking the first dose of AstraZeneca AZD1222 vaccine.

Acute onset anarthria in a 7-year-old patient as a presentation of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis: A rare clinical and radiological entity.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), also called post-infectious encephalomyelitis, is defined as an immune-mediated inflammatory and demyelinating event that involves the central nervous system. It usually follows an infectious episode or an active immunization several weeks prior the disease onset. ADEM is typically presented with an encephalopathy associated to focal neurological signs.

Pseudotumoral Demyelinating Lesions: A Presentation of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis.

Pseudotumoral forms of demyelination are related to central nervous system demyelinating disorders, usually considered to be an atypical presentation of multiple sclerosis including its different varieties such as Balo's, Schilder's, and Marburg diseases. These lesions could also be seen in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated demyelination, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. The pseudotumoral aspect may be mistakenly considered as an abscess or a cancerous tumor, in which case, patients could endure unnecessary possibly harmful brain biopsy and have a delay in their disease diagnostics and management.

Skin Reactions to Personal Protective Equipment among First-Line COVID-19 Healthcare Workers: A Survey in Northern Morocco.

Objectives: Health care workers (HCWs) adopted several protective measures, including hand hygiene and wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the frequent use of these preventive measures can lead to skin reactions. Our study aimed to determine the frequency of these reactions in Northern Morocco.

A Review of the Dermatological Manifestations of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected 210 countries and territories around the world. The virus has spread rapidly, and the disease is still extending up to now. The pathophysiology for SARS-CoV-2 has not been well elucidated, and diverse hypotheses to date have been proposed.
