Introduction: Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty usage has been rising among surgeons. This study aims to compare the difference between manual versus robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) short-term peri-operative and post-operative complications. Given improved acetabular component placement, we hypothesize that RA-THA is associated with the risk of lower overall complications and fewer revision surgical interventions compared to…

This manuscript describes a rare and clinically significant case of a prolapsed vitellointestinal duct (VID) in a 6‑week old‑old infant, successfully managed using a scarless trans‑umbilical wedge resection performed entirely under local anesthesia. While VID anomalies are well documented, the use of a minimally invasive, awake surgical approach in an infant is exceptionally uncommon. Our report highlights a safe and effective alternative to general anesthesia in selected infants, a…

Objectives: To investigate the observation that children with primary epispadias frequently exhibit stenotic ureteric orifices, in contrast to patients with classic bladder exstrophy.

Design: Retrospective observational study.

Setting: Single tertiary paediatric urology centre.

Participants: Children with incontinent primary epispadias who underwent bladder reconstruction between January…

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…
