Background: Tobacco use is a leading risk factor for oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). However, awareness of these conditions is often limited, which can delay early detection and preventive actions.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of tobacco use, sociodemographic associations, and awareness of oral cancer and OPMDs among dental OPD attendees.

Methods: A…

Primary hyperparathyroidism corresponds to inappropriate overproduction of parathyroid hormone. It is a predominantly female disease and is often asymptomatic. Diagnosis is based solely on biological findings, and curative treatment is surgical.

This is a retrospective observational study including 83 patients hospitalized and followed for primary hyperparathyroidism in the endocrinology departments of the University Hospital Center of Rabat and Mohamed V Military Hospital over a…

Pure Red Cell Aplasia (PRCA) is an infrequent hematological disorder marked by profound inhibition of erythroid production with preservation of other marrow cell lines. Its occurrence during the neonatal period is rare and often leads to delayed recognition. We describe a term neonate who presented with progressive pallor and severe anemia during the second week of life. Hematological evaluation revealed persistent normocytic normochromic anemia with marked reticulocytopenia. Bone marrow…

Introduction: Prevention of central venous catheter infections in hemodialysis is based on strict adherence to aseptic conditions and hygiene measures. The aim of this work is to demonstrate the benefit of local antibiotic prophylaxis, in the form of an antibiotic ointment applied to the catheter emergence site, in the prevention of infections of temporary hemodialysis catheters.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the benefit of local antibiotic prophylaxis, in…

Introduction: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a debilitating condition that can lead to urinary incontinence and impaired quality of life. Laparoscopic repair has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional approaches, but its impact on postoperative continence remains unclear. This study evaluates the one-year outcomes of incontinence in patients undergoing laparoscopic versus non-laparoscopic VVF repair.

Methods: A retrospective…

Background and Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed work practices globally, with a substantial increase in remote working among Information Technology (IT) professionals. Prolonged computer use, static postures, and non-ergonomic home setups have led to a rising incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and distribution of WRMSDs among IT professionals working from home and to identify the most…

Object detection has become a fairly widespread method in recent years for computer processing that uses artificial intelligence to detect certain sought-after objects in digital images or videos. Object detection and recognition techniques have also experienced continuous development as their implementa-tion, use, and benefits have become extremely evident through the speed with which answers are found in the images submitted to attention. Thus, applications that use object recognition have…

Background: Elderly patients are at higher risk of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), which may delay recovery. Inhalational agents, such as Sevoflurane and Desflurane, differ in their pharmacokinetic properties and may influence early cognitive outcomes.

Aim: To compare the effects of Desflurane and Sevoflurane on early recovery and short-term postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing elective surgery under general…

Peripheral nerve Injuries in children, particularly those involving the median nerve and radial artery, represent complex and functionally significant conditions. Damage to these structures can lead to profound deficits in fine motor coordination, precision grip, sensory discrimination, and overall hand function. Early and well-structured rehabilitation is essential to prevent long-term complications and to maximize functional recovery, especially considering the high degree of…

Nelson’s syndrome is a severe complication that may develop in patients with Cushing’s disease treated with bilateral adrenalectomy. Since pituitary tumors in Nelson’s syndrome are often aggressive, early diagnosis and careful management are essential. We report three cases illustrating this syndrome.

Keywords: Nelson’s Syndrome; Pituitary Adenoma; Corticotroph Tumor; Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH); Bilateral Adrenalectomy; Cushing’s Disease;…
