ABSTRACT

L'impact dévastateur des accidents vasculaires cérébraux sur la qualité de vie des sujets a motivé à conduire cette étude. Le but est d'identifie lesdifférences entre les genres dans la perspective d'optimiser la prise en charge surtout sur facteurs se révélant péjoratives individuellement pour chaque groupe MéthodesIl s'agit d'une étude prospective analytique d'une durée de neuf (9) mois allant de juillet 2019 à mars 2020 aux urgences médicales de l'Hôpital National de Niamey. Etait éligible, tout patient consentant ayant développé un AVC avec une lésion objectivée au scanner cérébral.Résultats : L'étude avait inclus au total 100 sujets dont 59 ayant présenté un infarctus cérébral et les 41 autres un AVC hémorragique. Le sex-ratio était de 1. Au niveau de l'âge il n'y a pas eu de différence entre les genres (p=0,547). Les non-instruits ont été retrouvés plus chez les femmes (p=0,001). Des pressions artérielles systoliques (p=0,014) et diastoliques p=0,014) et diastoliques (p=0,02) au stade 3 de l'OMS ont concernées plus les hommes que les femmes. Les femmes ont été les plus intéressées par l'infarctus cérébral et inversement les hommes par l'AVC hémorragique (p=0,025). Le genre n'a pas eu de lien statistique avec le décès (p˃0,05).Conclusion : L'étude a seulement objectivé une rela-tion entre le genre, le niveau d'instruction, la pression artérielle et le type d'accident vasculaire

ABSTRACT

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been one of the most common parasitic diseases in Saudi Arabia. This study exhibits the clinical features, diagnosis, cytokine profile and treatment of CL patients in Al-Taif province. Ninety CL suspects at a tertiary care general hospital were enrolled in one-year study. Patients were interviewed, clinically-examined, and subjected to laboratory tests: skin scraping smear microscopy, OligoC-TesT commercial PCR (Coris BioConcept) and kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) PCR for Leishmania diagnosis. Interferon-gamma (RayBio; Human IFN-γ) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in patients' sera were evaluated before treatment with sodium stibogluconate (pentostam) with 20-day intramuscular drug regimen. Positive rates of microscopy, commercial PCR and kDNA PCR were 74.4%, 95.5% and 100%, respectively. Patients came to hospital mostly in winter (45.0%). CL was frequently exhibited in Saudi patients (78.8%), male gender (70.7%), age < 20 years (50.0%), rural-dwellers (75.5%) and patients with travel history (86.6%). Lesion was mostly single ulcer (93.3%), occurred in the face (67.7%). Upon pentostam treatment, 85.1% of ulcers showed rapid healing signs. Levels of IFN-γ and NO were significantly higher in the healing than the non-healing cases (P < 0.001). The kDNA PCR proved more sensitive than microscopy and OligoC-TesT commercial PCR. Our results open perspectives for IFN-γ use as a biomarker predicting treatment response.

ABSTRACT

Minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) are incidentally found lesions in lung resection specimens and autopsies. MPMNs have been associated with neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary conditions and occasionally with extrapulmonary diseases. We report a case of a female patient presenting with invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast and MPMNs, masquerading as metastatic deposits. We describe the morphological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of MPMNs and emphasize the importance of their recognition for proper staging and treatment of patients. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the English literature describing this coexistence.
