Sarcoidosis in north African people: about 35 cases.

Background And Aim: Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown cause characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomatous inflammation in various organs, mainly  lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. Its clinical and paraclinical presentation can vary from mild to life-threatening. Our objective is to study the clinical, paraclinical and evolution profile of mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Unveiling the uncommon: Exploring a rare variant in right ovarian vein drainage: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: The right ovarian vein typically drains into the inferior vena cava, while the left ovarian vein terminates in the left renal vein. Variations in the drainage pattern of the ovarian veins are infrequent, with reported incidences ranging from 0.03 % to 9.

Unicystic ameloblastoma: Diagnostic challenges and uncommon treatment strategy: Case report.

Introduction: Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is frequently associated with an impacted tooth with a challenging diagnosis and decision making. The aim of this article is to emphasize a novel approach of treatment with tooth reimplantation after conservative treatment.

Presentation Of Case: A 7-year-old boy consulting with a chief complaint of swelling in the upper left front region.

Unveiling asymmetry impacts of economic policy uncertainty on climate change: fresh insights into African Countries.

This study investigates the influence of economic policy uncertainty on climate change in selected African countries within asymmetric settings. Although previous research has examined the impact of various economic factors on climate change, the asymmetric effects of economic policy uncertainty have not been thoroughly explored, particularly in African countries. We analyze annual data spanning from 1980 to 2017 by utilizing three models: Panel Pooled Mean Group-Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL-PMG), Panel Pooled Mean Group-non-linear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL-PMG), and Dumitrescu-Hurlin asymmetric causality tests.

Monitoring of Anesthesia by Bispectral Analysis of EEG Signals.

Background: In intensive care, monitoring the depth of anesthesia during surgical procedures is a key element in the success of the medical operation and postoperative recovery. However, despite the development of anesthesia thanks to technological and pharmacological advances, its side effects such as underdose or overdose of hypnotics remain a major problem. Observation and monitoring must combine clinical observations (loss of consciousness and reactivity) with tools for real-time measurement of changes in the depth of anesthesia.

How to Prevent Anastomotic Leak in Colorectal Surgery? A Systematic Review.

Anastomosis leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery is an embarrassing problem. It is associated with poor consequence. This review aims to summarize published evidence on prevention of AL after colorectal surgery and provide recommendations according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.

Bilateral tuberculous dacryoadenitis.

Tuberculosis is a real public health problem in developing countries. The ophthalmic form is a rare clinical entity. Dacryoadenitis presents an exceptional manifestation.

Humeral artery aneurysm revealing a rare association between tuberculosis and behçet's disease.

The association of pulmonary tuberculosis and Behçet's disease revealed by an aneurysm of the humeral artery is exceptional with a complicated management. We report a case in which the two conditions occurred concomitantly with the vascular complication, apart from any use of immunosuppressive therapy, something that has never been reported in the literature. We report an extremely rare case of a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of the humeral artery of a 29-year-old woman with no history.

A novel non-invasive method for estimating the local wave speed at a single site in the internal carotid artery.

Objectives Local wave speed is a biomarker which provides an objective analysis of the cardiovascular function. The aim of this study was to determine the local wave speed in the internal carotid artery by a new non-invasive method that measures blood velocity waveform at only one site. Methods For this purpose, the cepstral analysis was employed to determine the arrival time of the reflection wave and the wave speed in the carotid artery.

A Case of Type 1 Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP), a Form of IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD).

BACKGROUND Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), also known as lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP), is a rare cause of chronic pancreatitis, characterized by a fibro-inflammatory process. However, patients with AIP may have a good response to corticosteroid therapy. We describe a Tunisian patient with AIP that was confirmed to be an IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).

Toxic c17-sphinganine analogue mycotoxin, contaminating tunisian mussels, causes flaccid paralysis in rodents.

Severe toxicity was detected in mussels from Bizerte Lagoon (Northern Tunisia) using routine mouse bioassays for detecting diarrheic and paralytic toxins not associated to classical phytoplankton blooming. The atypical toxicity was characterized by rapid mouse death. The aim of the present work was to understand the basis of such toxicity.
