Is the Use of Dialysis Associated With an Increased Risk of Death in COVID-19-Related Acute Kidney Injury?

INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently reported in the setting of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection. The aim of our work is to evaluate the impact of acute dialysis use on mortality in patients with AKI during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. METHODS: This is a retrospective study conducted in the Hassan II University Hospital of Fez, Morocco. From July 2020 to December 2021, we included all patients admitted to a COVID-19 unit with acute kidney injury defined according to Kidney Disease Improvement Global Outcomes 2012 (KDI…

Systematic review of physical activity measurement scales validated for Arabic-speaking populations: insights from the BRIDGE project.

BackgroundAccurate assessment of physical activity (PA) is essential for epidemiological research and public health surveillance. In Arabic-speaking countries, most PA questionnaires originate from Western contexts, raising concerns about their cultural relevance and psychometric robustness when applied without proper validation.ObjectiveThis systematic review aimed to identify PA measurement instruments available in Arabic and to critically appraise their psychometric properties using the COSMIN methodology.MethodsA systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus from in

Functional polymorphism of CYP2B6 G15631T is associated with hematologic and cytogenetic response in chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with imatinib.

In the spite of the impressive results achieved with imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, differences in patient's response are observed, which may be explained by interindividual genetic variability. It is known that cytochrome P450 enzymes play a major role in the metabolism of imatinib. The present study aimed to understand the functional impact of CYP2B6 15631G>T polymorphism on the response of imatinib in CML patients and its relation to CML susceptibility. We have genotyped CYP2B6 G15631T in 48 CML patients and 64 controls by PCR-RFLP. CYP2B6 15631G>T was not found to be

A Novel Homozygous p.L539F Mutation Identified in PINK1 Gene in a Moroccan Patient with Parkinsonism.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. Ten of fifteen causative genes linked to familial forms of PD have been reported to cause autosomal recessive forms. Among them, mutations in the PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) gene were shown to be responsible for a phenotype characterized by early onset, good response to levodopa, and a benign course. Using chromosomal microarray analysis and Sanger sequencing, we identified a homozygous G/C substitution in a 58-year-old Moroccan man diagnosed with recessive inherited Parkinson's disease.

The founder mutations in the BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM genes in Moroccan Jewish women with breast cancer.

To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the inherited predisposition to breast cancer in non-Ashkenazi Jews, we genotyped 54 Jewish Moroccan women with breast cancer, unselected for family history of cancer, for the predominant Jewish mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM. One patient (2%) was found to have the 185de1AG BRCA1 mutation, none was a carrier of the 6174delT BRCA2 mutation, and 2/54 (4%) were heterozygous for the ATM mutation. These rates were not significantly different from the rates in the general non-Ashkenazi population. These preliminary data may indicate that t

Cys 618 Arg mutation in the RET proto-oncogene associated with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma and maternally transmitted Hirschsprung's disease suggesting a role for imprinting.

The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) syndromes and Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) are inherited neurocristopathies characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, parathyroid disease, and gastrointestinal neuromatosis. Mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are the underlying cause of the MEN2 syndromes and some cases of HSCR. In this report, we show that Cys 618 Arg mutation cosegregates with familial MTC and HSCR in two Moroccan Jewish families in which no involvement of pheochromocytoma or parathyroidism was observed. A single haplotype shared by chromosomes bear

Multilayer Flow Modulator Treatment of Abdominal and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms With Side Branch Coverage: Outcomes From a Prospective Single-Center Moroccan Registry.

PURPOSE: To evaluate endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) using the Multilayer Flow Modulator (MFM) in high-surgical-risk patients with at least one covered branch vessel. METHODS: In this prospective single-center nonrandomized trial, 18 patients (mean age 61.1 years; 16 men) with TAAA (n=10, mean diameter 74.4 mm) and AAA (n=8, mean diameter 67.8 mm) were treated with the MFM between June 2009 and September 2012. The primary safety endpoints were all-cause mortality at 30 days and 12 months and neurological complications. The p

[Serological profile of immigrant pregnant women against HIV, HBV, HCV, rubella, Toxoplasma gondii, Treponema pallidum, and Trypanosoma cruzi].

INTRODUCTION: The increase in immigration is changing the prevalence of mother to child infectious diseases. Our aim is to determine the serological profile of foreign pregnant women against these infections. METHODS: A retrospective cross sectional study was performed in a tertiary hospital from Madrid between August 2007 and October 2008. The seroprevalence against HIV, HBV, HCV, rubeola, T. gondii, T. pallidum and T. cruzi was determined in every pregnant immigrant, as well as in a representative group of Spanish pregnant women. RESULTS: A total of 2526 immigrant and 157 Spanish pregnant

Magnitude of cancer-associated thrombosis in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Comprehensive data on the epidemiology of cancer-related thrombosis in Africa has been sparse until recently. Thus, this review was aimed to investigate the magnitude of cancer-related thrombosis in Africa. To obtain key articles, comprehensive search was conducted using various databases. A random-effects model was used to determine the pooled magnitude. Heterogeneity across the studies was checked, and publication bias was determined. The pooled magnitude of thrombosis among cancer patients in Africa is 11.65% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.02-14.28). Advanced age, comorbidity, and level o
