Tele-ECG improves diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome and ST-elevation myocardial infarction in Côte d'Ivoire.

Introduction: The emergence of cardiovascular risk factors in sub-Saharan Africa suggests an increasing incidence of acute coronary syndromes and STEMI. The aim of the study was to define the prevalence of STEMI and to describe the characteristics of patients diagnosed with STEMI within the tele-electrocardiogram (ECG) network in Côte d'Ivoire.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2015 to August 2019.

Children mandibular fractures: Epidemiological and anatomo-clinical aspects.

Introduction: Maxillofacial trauma in children is uncommon, accounting for between 1 % and 14 % of all facial trauma in the general population.

Objective: To describe the epidemiological and anatomical-clinical aspects of mandibular fractures in children.

Material And Method: This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study with non-probabilistic accidental sampling.

Incidental discovery of duplicated inferior vena cava in a septuagenarian: the radiologist's viewpoint.

Duplication of the inferior vena cava is a rare malformation, normally without clinical impact, explained by abnormal development and regression of certain segments of the venous system during embryonic life. However, its presence and type should be systematically reported in the radiological report because of its potential implications for diagnostic and interventional procedures. This observation describes the case of a 77-year-old man with a complete asymmetric duplication of the inferior vena cava (type III IVC according to Natsis) that was incidentally discovered on CT-scan.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma Associated with Cosmetic Use of Bleaching Agents: About a Case in Ivory Coast.

Voluntary skin depigmentation is defined as a set of procedures for obtaining skin clarification for cosmetic purposes. Skin cancers are possible complications, but rarely reported. We describe a case observed in Ivory Coast.

A case of squamous cell carcinoma occurring on a scar of Buruli ulcer in Bouake, Ivory Coast.

Buruli ulcer is infectious necrotizing panniculitis due to . Buruli ulcer is healed by leaving dystrophic, fibrous and retractile scars. On these scars can occur long-term squamous cell carcinoma.

A Case of Rare Complication of Inguinal Parietoplasty according to Lichtenstein: Entero Cutaneous Fistula.

Lichtenstein intervention is currently the classic model of the regulated treatment of inguinal hernias by direct local approach. This "tension-free" technique satisfies both patients and practitioners. However, it does not often evade severe complications of parietal surgery.

Brain lesions in eclampsia: A series of 39 cases admitted in an Intensive Care Unit.

The aim of this study was to identify the encephalic lesions in the eclampsia occurrences. Within a period of 18 months, computed tomography (CT) of the brain was performed in all patients admitted in intensive care for eclampsia. These CTs were analyzed and intracerebral lesions were identified.

Malignant melanoma of the nasal septum, a rare tumor, occurring in a 54-year-old patient after hereditary retinoblastoma treatment.

The authors report a case of a malignant melanoma of the nasal cavity that is a rare tumor and very aggressive, constituting 1% of all melanomas. It appeared in a patient 54 years after he was treated for a hereditary retinoblastoma. Its symptoms are nonspecific, and often marked by epistaxis.
