Authors: Patel Abhi , Desai Shashank , Shah Shashwat
Published: March 2023

Background: Diagnosis of Chronic Abdominal Pain is a challenge as these patients even after undergoing a wide range of diagnostic workup
remain undiagnosed. For a denitive diagnosis followed by a denitive treatment, Diagnostic Laparoscopy is becoming a useful tool. Another
advantage of diagnostic laparoscopy is that a denitive intervention can be done at the same time. Methods: The study was conducted at GCS
Medical College in 38 patients having Chronic Abdominal Pain for duration of more than 12 weeks and which remained undiagnosed after various
diagnostic modalities. After taking a detailed history and appropriate diagnostic workup, the patients underwent Diagnostic Laparoscopy.
Postoperative Pain Assessment was done using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. Results: Using Diagnostic Laparoscopy, a denitive diagnosis
was made in 34 out of 38 patients with chronic abdominal pain. Postoperatively pain was relieved in 30 (78.95%) patients, reduced in 5 (13.16%)
patients and persisted in3 (7.89%) patients. Diagnostic Laparoscopy effectively diagnosed the cause of pain in 89.4% patients in the study.
Intervention was done in 47.37% of patients. Conclusion: Diagnostic Laparoscopy is an effective tool for diagnosis of chronic abdominal pain. It
also has a therapeutic value in such cases

Authors: Zaheer Siddiqui Jaweed , Bhanuja Rani B.
Published: March 2023

Background: PCOS is a reproductive endocrine disorder marked by oligo-ovulation/chronic anovulation, menstrual abnormalities,
hyperandrogenism, and obesity. In females with PCOS, PSA has been identied as a potential new marker.. PSA may be a useful clinical marker
and maybe a novel diagnostic criterion for hyperandrogenemia in females, despite the fact that its signicance in PCOS patients is undetermined.
Objectives: To evaluate and establish the role of PSA in association with elevated levels of androgens and altered LH/FSH ratio as a biochemical
marker in aiding the diagnosis of PCOS. Methods:Atotal of 100 patients divided into 2 groups of 50 each, In Group A50 patients diagnosed with
PCOS and in Group B 50 Healthy patients without PCOS were analyzed for serum PSA, testosterone, prolactin, TSH, FSH and LH levels. Results:
In the PCOS group, there was a slightly negative correlation with age, positive correlation between serum total testosterone and PCOS, and a
moderately positive correlation with Ferriman - Gallwey score (FGS) for hirsutism. Conclusion: In females with PCOS, serum PSA levels
increased signicantly and were positively correlated with total testosterone and FGS score, while being negatively correlated with age. As a result,
serum PSA levels in females with Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be used as a diagnostic and biochemical marker for PCOS and other
hyperandrogenic disorders.

إنّ زيارة "أمير المؤمنين" للإمام الهادي (B)، هي بلا شكّ من أهمّ الموروثات الروائية للشيعة في التعبير عن تعاليم الإمامة السامية وخصائص أمير المؤمنين ضمن السياق التأريخي؛ أي زمن الوحي، والأحداث الّتي تلت وفاة النبي وأعوام خلافة الإمام (B). استشهد الإمام الهادي (B) مراراً في زيارته بالأحاديث النبوية وكلام الإمام علي (B) إلى جانب عدد غير قليل من الآيات القرآنية. تطرّقت الدراسة من خلال المنهج الوصفي-التحليلي إلى بيان أنوع الاستشهادات إلى الآيات القرآنية. نلحظ استشهاداً صريحاً بـــ30 آية قرآنية بصورة كاملة أو جزئية في هذه الزيارة. تفتقر بنية الاستشهادات التصريحية أحياناً إلى أي مقدمة، ولكن في بعض الحالات، نلحظ تعابير مثل: «قال الله تعالي»، «والذي نطق القرآن بتفضيله»، «والذي نطق القرآن»، «وفيك انزل الله تعالي»، «والله تعالي اخبر عما..» و... كتمهيد للاستشهاد الصريح. وكذلك يتبيّن لنا من خلال التأمّل في الزيارة بأنّ هناك استشهاد تلويحي بالنسبة إلى عدد كبير من الآيات الّتي تمّ تطبيقها على أشكال مختلفة، مثل: الاقتراض المعجمي، الخبري، السردي، والوحي والتلميح.
نظرة عصرية إلى حقيقة (التّفسير) بالإستناد إلى الآيات والروايات
Authors: ميري سيد محمد , زاده عبد الهادي , ميري سيد ضياء الدين
Published: March 2023

لا ريب في أنّ تفسير القرآن الكريم وإدراك المقصود الإلهي في الآيات هو السبيل الوحيد لبلوغ التعاليم القرآنية، وعليه، فإنّ فهم حقيقة (التّفسير) وجوهره يُعدّ أمراً ضرورياً لتحديد أُطره واتّساعه. فالنظرة المقتضبة إلى كلمة (التّفسير) لا تُسعفنا في هذا الباب بل ينبغي التّعامل معه بنظرة أوسع ورؤية أعمق، والاستعانة بالعبارات والكلمات ذات العلاقة والقرائن المطلوبة حتى الوصول إلى حقيقة التّفسير.

يشير هذا البحث – بأسلوب وصفي تحليليّ – إلى أنّ سبيل الوصول إلى حقيقة التفسير وماهيّته يتمثّل في النظرة المنهجية لأسلوب آل البيت (G) كقرينة منفصلة إلى جانب الاستعانة بآيات القرآن الكريم والمبادئ العقلائية للمحاورة والقرائن المتصلة، وهذا الأسلوب هو الذي يمكنه أن يوصلنا إلى تفسير مُعتبر للقرآن الكريم.

وبالاستناد إلى نتائج البحث تُعدّ كلمة (تبيين) كلمة محورية في تفسير القرآن الكريم فهي توضّح جميع القيود والقرائن المؤثّرة في فهم آيات القرآن، وبالنظر إلى هذه النقطة الدليلية فإنّ أوضح تعريف وأحسنه لكلمة (التّفسير) هو: «أنّه بيان لآيات القرآن وفق المفهوم العرفي والهيكل الأدبي للكلمات والجُمل والقرائن المتصلة بها، وبالتالي الكشف عن مُراد الله تعالى من آيات القرآن بالاعتماد على القرائن والأدلّة المنفصلة».

Published: March 2023

The extraction of Acalypha wilkesiana oil was carried out in the laboratory using a Soxhlet`s apparatus with six solvents, namely, ethanol, methanol, acetone, pet-ether, n-hexane and water. The biological activities of the different solvent extracts was investigated on Callosobruchus maculatus in the laboratory. Adult mortality, oviposition, adult emergence, long time storage ability and germinability were used as indices. The results obtained showed that all the different extracts were potent on C. maculatus. Ethanol extract was the most toxic because it recorded 100 % mortality within 96 hours of exposure. Aqueous extract was the least toxic among the extracts because it was only able to achieve 72.75 % mortality within 96 h. The extracts caused reduction in oviposition and adult emergence. Weevils in cowpea treated with ethanol and pet-ether extracts recorded the lowest number of eggs (12.25 and 12.45 respectively) which are not significantly (p < 0.05) different from the oviposition observed in methanol, acetone and pet-ether extracts. Adult emergence in ethanol and pet-ether extracts was totally suppressed while the aqueous extract recorded the highest adult emergence among the extracts used. Ethanol and pet-ether extracts totally prevented infestation and damage of cowpea seeds within the 90 days of storage. The percentage germination of all the treated seeds was generally high, ranging from 78.50 % to 95.25 %. The highest germination of 92.25 % was recorded in ethanol extract which is not significantly different from that of methanol extract. The results from this findings showed that extracts of A. wilkesiana were effective in protecting cowpea seeds against C. maculatus. This extract can be used as sustainable substitute to chemical insecticide in the control of C. maculatus.

Authors: Severin Irie Bi Jean , Ines Kouakou Assui Aude , Yomalan Kassi
Published: March 2023

Saccharum officinarum L (Poaceae) is a plant used as a diuretic and in the traditional treatment of arterial hypertension. This study aims to evaluate the acute toxicity and the diuretic potential of the aqueous extract of Saccharum officinarum (Esol) leaves on the diuresis of rats subjected to water overload. The toxicity results show that Esol is non-toxic at a dose of 2000 mg/Kg B.W. and that the LD50 is greater than this dose. The aqueous extract of Saccharum officinarum has many chemical compounds with diuretic and antihypertensive properties such as polyphenols, flavonoids, sterols and polyterpenes and saponosides. Esol acts effectively on diuresis with 24-hour urine volumes of 12.4 ± 0.74 mL; 11.3 ± 0.72 mL for the doses of 1000 and 1300 mg/kg B.W. whose volumetric urinary excretion (VUE) is greater than 150 %. The Time to First Micturition (TFM) of 41.7 ± 6.2 min and 41.2 ± 3.8 min respectively for these 2 doses. The pH of the urine of rats treated with the extract is more alkaline between 7 and 7.35. These results therefore indicate that the aqueous extract of Saccharum officinarum has a diuretic potential, thus justifying its use in traditional medicine.

In order to accomplish this, the primary data sources, including Google, GoogleScholar, Sciencedirect, PubMed, and others, were examined. The findings of this study demonstrated that, despite being uncommon, childhood malignancies are lethal once they manifest. His study's findings also demonstrated the presence of therapy choices and diagnostic technologies that increase survival rates to above 80% of cases. Hence, pediatric cancer affects youngsters under the age of 18. Each form of pediatric cancer has a unique set of symptoms and available therapies. Juvenile cancer can be challenging to diagnose and is typically detected by physical examinations, blood tests, imaging scans, and biopsies. Pediatric cancer treatment is determined by the type, stage, age, and condition of the child. The prognosis for pediatric cancer has significantly improved thanks to recent developments in diagnosis and treatment.

Published: March 2023

Purpose: To describe the chronology and the extent of orbital involvement in a case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Methods: Descriptive case report and literature review. Results: A thirty-two years old male consulted with the following complaints: A retro-orbital discomfort in both eyes, a bilateral fast progressive proptosis and a decrease in visual acuity in the left eye. Eye examination revealed a proptosis, ptosis, epiphora and a motility restriction and peripheral corneal ulcer infiltrates with nodular scleritis in the left eye. A palpable orbital mass was located in the sub temporal orbit in both eyes. Orbit magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unveiled a diffuse and elongated enlargement of both lacrimal glands with enhancing mass in the superior lateral aspect of both eyes globe. The diagnosis of an orbital pseudotumor was suspected. The biological work-up revealed a high blood levels of inflammation markers and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (c-ANCA). The diagnostic of active systemic granulomatosis with polyangiitis was then made. Conclusion: As seen in this case, clinicians should consider a differential diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis in patients with an orbital pseudotumor mimic aspect.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Interstitial lung diseases are a diverse group of diseases which affect the lung interstium and share similar clinical and radiological manifestations. Although there are several interstitial lung diseases, only a few handful of about 10-12 account for more than 90% of them. Hence, proper knowledge and understanding of these common entities is pertinent in diagnosing them and in including them in the differential diagnosis. Aims and Objectives: The study aims to diagnose study and compare Interstitial Lung Diseases using HRCT and Chest X-Ray by using a prospective and observational study model. Results: HRCT showed statistically significant difference in diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease as compared to Chest X-Ray as p value was significant in 4 out of 6 assessed parameters. Hence, CT scan was found essential in evaluation of Interstitial Lung Diseases. Conclusion: High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest scans are essential to the diagnostic work-up since each ILD form is characterized by a specific pattern of abnormalities and a confident diagnosis can often be arrived at by HRCT alone or in correlation with the clinical symptoms.

The Major Sulci of the Cerebral Cortex Variations: A Report of 6 Cases
Authors: Satte Mahmoud
Published: March 2023

The human brain is divided into four lobes by four major sulci including the lateral, central, parieto-occipital, and calcarine sulci. These sulci were used as landmarks for the brain's higher functional areas and during brain surgical entrances. According to the previous reports the variants of these main sulci were founded. The current study aimed to show a case report about the variant of the main sulci for the human brain. This study was managed on the plastinated human brain samples during the dissection room training for medical students in the medical college at Najran University in Saudi Arabia. Our study showed that there are abnormalities in the direction and distributions of the main sulci of the brain cortex a rare case. Therefore, our findings can help surgeons to understand the sulci course and their subdivision areas on the cerebral cortex to do their procedures.

The use of ceramic veneers is becoming increasingly common in Ästhetik dentistry. This method is considered to be minimally invasive with high aesthetic results due to the major advances in ceramic and bonding techniques. The success of a restorative treatment in anterior teeth depends on the esthetic integration between soft tissues and hard tissues. Aesthetic management of diastema using veneers is nowadays a well-established method. The purpose of this clinical report is to describe a conservative treatment approach to recover an esthetic disharmony caused by multiple maxillary diastemas. A 27 years old female patient was seeking to improve her smile. Ceramic veneers were planned and build-up with the help of diagnostic models, wax-up and mock-up.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAA) are rare and account for 20% of all visceral artery aneurysms. Hepatic artery aneurysms are often discovered at autopsy, but their rupture and bleeding cause significant morbidity and may manifest as haemobilia. Here we report a case of idiopathic right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm revealed by upper GI bleeding. Presentation: A 72 year old Moroccan woman presented to the emergency department with an upper GI bleed with haematemesis and melaena without any evidence of jaundice. She was admitted with pre-shock haemorrhage and the initial management required early resuscitation measures he turned out to have a pseudoaneurysm of one of the branches of the right subhepatic artery. The aetiology of the pseudoaneurysm was atherosclerosis. The patient underwent radioembolization, the aftermath of which was uncomplicated. Clinical Discussion: Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAA) is a rare cause of gastrointestinal haemorrhage, the management of which requires resuscitative measures Atherosclerosis is the main cause of formation, but it may be associated with connective tissue disorders and arteritis. Most Hepatic artery aneurysms (AAA) are asymptomatic. Aneurysms can be managed by surgical or endovascular interventions. Conclusion: Digestive haemorrhage may reveal a pseudoaneurysm of the right hepatic artery by rupture or fissure in the biliary system. Knowledge on this subject is important for emergency doctors, resuscitators, gastroenterologists, vascular surgeons and hepatobiliary surgeons for the diagnosis and early intervention of this rare entity.

Purpose: This case report aims to discuss the rare occurrence of spontaneous splenic rupture and the utility of CT scans in its diagnosis and management. Presentation of Case: A 58-year-old chronic smoker presented to the emergency department with sudden-onset abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with splenic rupture based on clinical presentation and imaging findings, including an enlarged spleen and abdominal fluid on CT scan. The patient underwent splenectomy, with histological examination confirming the diagnosis. Discussion: CT scan is a commonly used imaging technique in the diagnosis of splenic masses, providing a high resolution, cross-sectional view of the spleen and surrounding structures. The use of contrast agents enhances the differentiation between vascular and non-vascular lesions and improves the accuracy of diagnosis. Other imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and PET-CT may also be used. The treatment of splenic masses depends on the underlying etiology and the clinical status of the patient. Conclusion: The CT scan findings in this case suggest a splenic mass, which was confirmed to be a decapsulated spleen on histological examination after splenectomy. The use of imaging techniques such as CT scan is important in the diagnosis and management of splenic masses, aiding in preoperative planning and postoperative monitoring. Postoperative management of splenic rupture typically involves pain control, antibiotic therapy, and lifelong prophylactic antibiotics and vaccinations to reduce the risk of infection. This case report discusses a rare case of spontaneous splenic rupture and highlights the diagnostic and management utility of CT scans. The patient, a 58-year-old chronic smoker.

Published: March 2023

Summary: It is the pseudo-cystic dilatation of the sub-mucosal terminal ureter. It is a rare congenital pathology, diagnosed more and more in newborns because of antenatal exploration, and which often remains asymptomatic in adults and discovered fortuitously, if not revealed in the context of complications dominated by lithiasis. In our case, we were dealing with a 30-year-old patient, without any notable pathological history, who was admitted to the emergency room for the management of renal colic. The etiological work-up was in favor of a left orthotopic ureterocele, complicated by lithiasis in the form of an iliac ureteral stone.

Published: March 2023

Nonfunctional retroperitoneal paragangliomas are rare tumors. They are defined as extra-adrenal chromaffin tumors and represent about 20% of chromaffin tumors. They are often asymptomatic and can grow to large dimensions. We report the observation of a 67-year-old patient admitted to the operating room for right total nephrectomy for right hilar renal tumor and whose intraoperative dissection of the renal pedicle could demonstrate an exorenal mass. Anatomopathological analysis was in favor of a paraganglioma. Malignant forms, more frequent than benign forms, present a locoregional invasion and metastasize late. The management of paragangliomas must be multidisciplinary but only surgical treatment is curative. However, there is no consensus on the usefulness of complementary therapies, which can nevertheless be used as a symptomatic adjunct. Paragangliomas are genetic in 25% of cases. A genetic investigation must be systematically proposed.

Lipomas of the small intestine are rare benign tumors, often asymptomatic and rarely complicating intestinal obstruction. Acute manifestations, such as partial or complete obstruction, are uncommon. We report a case of intestinal obstruction due to torsion of a pedunculated parietal lipoma in a 36-year-old woman admitted for acute abdominal pain with an absence of passage of flatus and feces. CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of bowel obstruction and showed a fatty mass. Surgery consisted of a tumerectomy. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a lipocytic lipoma.

Aims: Show the importance of imaging in the diagnosis and follow up of Hepar Lobatum Carcinomatosum (HLC) in the context of a breast neoplasia. Presentation of case: We report a case of an episode of upper GI hemorrhage, in a 54 year old female patient, with chronic abdominal pain and asthenia. The CT scan showed a dysmorphic liver, with irregular contours, multiple capsular retractions, associated with abundant ascites. Discussion and Conclusion: HLC is defined as an acquired non-cirrhotic liver deformity secondary to liver metastases during a neoplasia, most often of the breast. The clinical presentations are not very specific and often late, and represented by signs of liver failure associated or not with portal hypertension in all its manifestations. Imaging in HLC, especially CT scan, shows similarities to a cirrhotic liver with hepatic dysmorphia, caudal lobe enlargement and segment IV atrophy. The presence of capsular retraction resulting in lobulated liver contours with reduced liver volume. It is therefore important to know the existence of this extensive form of secondary liver involvement and the set of complications that can arise.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Drug reaction syndrome with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a rare and potentially fatal hypersensitivity reaction, The reaction usually manifests as a febrile skin rash accompanied by lymphadenopathy and malaise between two and eight weeks after drug exposure. The pulmonary manifestations of DRESS are variable and may include interstitial pneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumonia, pulmonary nodules and (in the most severe cases) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report the observation of an acute eosinophilic pneumonitis which is unique in that it is part of a DRESS syndrome following the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Ciprofloxacin. Observation: This was a 63-year-old patient admitted to the outpatient department of the Mohamed VI University Hospital in Marrakech for acute respiratory distress. Her history included a chronic depressive syndrome for 7 years under Taraxet and Deroxat; a megaloblastic anemia under Tardyferon; a non-dialyzed renal failure; a Gout having been under Zyloric for 7 months; a DRESS syndrome following the intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Ciprofloxacin (Cystitis) having been hospitalized in the dermatology department 15 days before. The diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia had been evoked and treated with Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid + Azithromycin (Suspicion of covid infection and appearance of Crazy Paving on thoracic Angioscanner), The evolution had been marked the following day by severe respiratory distress with hypoxia at 68% with MHC at 15, the respiratory frequency was at 51 cycles per minute with generalized cyanosis, signs of respiratory struggle. The blood gases on admission:Ph 7. 43 PaCo2 40.3 pAo2 45 HCo3- 25.8, PaO2/FiO2 at 98; The picture of hypoxaemia on a severe and very hypoxaemic pneumopathy required orotracheal intubation. Refractory hypoxemia (PaO2/FIO2 = 69 in the control gasometry despite a PEEP = 14 cmH2O, deep sedation completed with .....

Hirayama disease is a rare non-progressive spinal muscular atrophy related to flexion movements of the neck. It is considered a benign motor neuron disorder with a stationary stage after a progressive course. We report a case of an 18-years old male with a history of asymmetric weakness and amyotrophy of the distal right upper extremity, suggestive of Hirayama disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine was obtained both in flexion and neutral position. MRI showed loss of cervical lordosis with focal areas of lower cervical cord atrophy with increased T2 signal intensity of the spinal cervical cord in a neutral position and anterior displacement of the detached posterior dura from the underlying flexion position.
