ABSTRACT
Background: Tobacco use is an important public health issue. Morocco implemented a tobacco control programme, which has been ongoing among students at middle and secondary schools since 2010. Aim: This study aims to compare the trend in smoking among the programme beneficiaries with the results of the initial study conducted prior to the implementation of the programme. Setting: This study was conducted in middle and secondary schools of the Gharb Region in Morocco between 2010 and 2015. Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were conducted in 2010 and 2015 in the middle and secondary schools of the Gharb Region. Multistage cluster sampling was used. The information was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: In the first study in 2010, 5312 students participated, and in the second one in 2015, 4208 students participated. The level of information on smoking and its effects was higher in 2015 (94.0%) than in 2010 (92.5%). In 2010, parents, primary schools and television and radio were more involved in student information on smoking compared to 2015. The proportion of students claiming that tobacco was not a pleasure (86.3%) and that it does not calm nerves (76.5%) was significantly higher in 2015 than in 2010. The prevalence of smoking increased significantly in 2015 (2.9%) against 2010 (1.8%). Conclusion: This study reports the general positive evolution in knowledge about smoking and its effects. Despite that the prevalence of smokers increased in 2015. The results suggest the need to address family influences on adolescent smoking and to investigate participation of schools in education and training students in tobacco dependence prevention

Introduction : Apres l'enjeu carcinologique et de survie de la chirurgie des cancers de l'endometre; les auteurs de cette etude se proposent d'evaluer l'impact reel de la voie coelio-vaginale dans la chirurgie des cancers de l'endometre. Patientes et methodes : Entre le 1er Juin 2002 et le 31 Mai 2005; nous avons effectue une etude retrospective; comparative portant sur 36 interventions par voie colio-vaginale et 20 laparotomies realisees chez 56 patientes. Resultats : Dans les stades precoces (I et II de la FIGO); la voie coelio-vaginale est aussi performante que la laparotomie (p =0;07) alors que dans les stades plus avances la laparotomie etait plus complete et efficace. Le cas de conversion observe (soit 2;8) etait du a une des adherences complexes dans un contexte de carcinose peritoneale chez une patiente au stade IIIc. Il n'y avait pas de difference significative dans les complications (p=0;51). Le confort post operatoire etait; par contre; de loin meilleur dans le groupe de coelio-vaginale (p=0;0002). Le delai moyen de suivi sans recidive etait de 22;3 mois dans le groupe de coelio-vaginale versus 23 mois dans le groupe de laparotomie (p = 0;51). Conclusion : Devant ces resultats; les auteurs retiennent que dans les stades precoces (I- II de la FIGO); la voie coelio-vaginale constitue une reelle option dans la chirurgie des cancers de l'endometre par contre les stades avances devraient etre reserves a la laparotomie

No presente trabalho foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo de 150 gestantes cardiopatas, cujos partos ocorreram no Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirao Preto, no periodo de marco de 1979 a julho de 1981. Foram analisados principalmente os seguintes parametros: prevalencia, tipo de cardiopatia, afeccoes intercorrentes, periodo gestacional em que ocorreu descompensacao cardiaca, exames complementares para a avaliacao da vitalidade e maturidade fetais, tipo de parto e analgotocia e morbimortalidade materna e fetal. Os resultados permitiram a importancia do pre-natal, bem como os cuidados com o trabalho de parto, pois ficou claro que a cardiopatia na gravidez piora a morbimortalidade materna e fetal
