Abstract: Background: In elderly people (aged ≥ 65 years), among lower limb fractures, hip fractures are common, but lead to a lot of disabilities, sometimes even death and their incidence keeps rising with age exponentially. Among these hip fractures, Falls contribute to about 80-90% in elderly people. There are very few studies in India discussing the risk factors and circumstances of these fall related injuries. Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess the circumstances of fall in geriatric patients with hip fractures thereby proposing preventive methods in reducing these fall related injuries............

Abstract: Introduction: la perforation typhique est l'ouverture pathologique de l'intestin grêle dans la cavité péritonéale suite à une infection par le salmonella typhi. C'est la complication chirurgicale la plus redoutable de la fièvre typhoïde qui se présente cliniquement par un tableau de péritonite. L'objectif de l'étude est d'étudier le profil épidémiologique, clinique, thérapeutique et évolutif de la perforation intestinale typhique aux Cliniques Universitaires de Lubumbashi. Matériels et Méthodes: il s'agit d'une étude descriptive transversale et rétrospective, de janvier 2012 à décembre 2017. La récolte s'est faite sur base d'une fiche de récolte de données.

Abstract: Nephrotic syndrome may be caused by primary (idiopathic) renal disease or by a variety of secondary causes. Patients present with generalised edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and often hyperlipidemia. In adults, diabetes mellitus is the most common secondary cause, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranous nephropathy are the most common primary causes. There are no established guidelines on the diagnostic workup or management of nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy may be useful in some cases to confirm an underlying disease or to identify idiopathic disease that is more likely to respond to corticosteroids. Spectrum of Nephrotic syndrome varies in different ethnic populations, age groups and socio economic strata. For instance IgA nephropathy is common........
