From Thesis to Publication: Unveiling the Predictive Factors for Cardiology Research at a North African Faculty of Medicine (Tunisia).

Introduction: The benchmark of a medical thesis' success is often its acceptance for publication in an indexed journal.

Aim: To determine the publication rate of practice theses in the field of Cardiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse (FMSo) in Tunisia and to identify predictive factors for successful publication.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive bibliometric analysis of Cardiology theses defended at FMSo from 2000 to 2019.

Nursing Students' Satisfaction and Self-Confidence with Simulation-Based Learning and Its Associations with Simulation Design Characteristics and Educational Practices.

Purpose: Clinical simulation is a recent and now most used educational approach in health training programs. Its use for educational purposes in nursing education has gradually become widespread throughout the world. The aim of this study was to assess students' satisfaction and self-confidence with simulation-based learning and to identify the association of simulation design characteristics and educational practices with those outcomes.

Development of a Web Application based on Machine Learning for screening esophageal varices in cirrhosis.

Introduction: Esophageal varices (EV) are a common manifestation of portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) is the gold standard for diagnosing EV. However, it is an invasive examination with a relatively high cost.

Introduction: Despite the spread of COVID-19 in Tunisia and its impact on people, health and economy, few studies have investigated the profile of COVID-19 Tunisian patients.

Aim: Determine the epidemiological, clinical, para-clinical and therapeutic characteristics patients and identify the associated factors of severity.

Methods: This is a retrospective study, conducted among confirmed COVID-19 patients consulting the hospital emergency department.

Risk factors for impaired quality of life in diabetic patients in Tunisia.

Introduction: Quality of life preservation is crucial in the management of chronic diseases, in particular diabetes.

Aim: To identify risk factors for the impaired quality of life of Tunisian diabetic patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study that collected type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients, selected by convenience sampling was conducted.

[The third version of diabetes attitude scale in arabic language: Reliability, validity and normative data].

Objective: The aim of this study was to translate and analyze the psychometric properties of the third version of the Arabic Diabetes Attitude Scale.

Methods: A methodological study of psychometric validation of the scale according to the guidelines of Vallerand cross-cultural validation was conducted. Type 1 and type 2 diabetics, aged 18 and over, without cognitive impairment or altered mental status were recruited on a convenience-sampling basis.

Spatial financial contagion during the COVID-19 outbreak: Local correlation approach.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of spatial proximity on financial contagion during the COVID-19 outbreak. We use the daily stock index series of Asian, American, and European countries from January 1, 2014 to January 30, 2021. Two groups of countries are considered: the first includes China and geographically close countries, namely Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam and Russia.

Novel Corona virus disease infection in Tunisia: Mathematical model and the impact of the quarantine strategy.

Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is an extremely serious infection with an extremely high death rate worldwide. In March, the disease was declared a "global pandemic" by the World Health Organization (WHO). Until now, there is no known vaccine or drug, since the unknown things related to the disease are more important than our theoretical and empirical knowledge.

Chemical composition, Fatty acids profile and Biological properties of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmanns, essential Oil.

T. capitatus is widely used in traditional medicine in Tunisia. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical composition, the fatty acids profile, the antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities as well as the cytotoxic potential of the essential oil (EO) of this plant.

Phytochemical Analysis and Assessment of Biological Properties of Essential Oils Obtained from Thyme and Rosmarinus Species.

Background: The plant species Thymus algeriensis (TA); Thymus capitatus (TC) and Rosmarinus officinalis (RO), are widely used in traditional medicine in Tunisia. The bioactivities of their essential oils have also been reported previously. The main objective of this work was to assess the phytochemical composition, the antioxidant activity, cytotoxic potential and the antibacterial, antifungal, of the essential oil (EO) of these plants.

Critical behavior near room temperature in LaCaNaMnO sample.

The critical behavior of LaCaNaMnO was studied at around room temperature magnetization measurements. From the relative slope, we deduced that the Tricritical Mean-Field model was the most suitable model. The estimated critical exponents were found to be = 0.
