Abstract: Midline incisions has advantage of rapid and wide access to the abdominal cavity with minimal damage to muscles, nerves, and the vascular supply of the abdominal wall, hence causing minimal long-term morbidity.1 However, wound complications after any laparotomy increases burden on resources of the health care system. 2 Wound complications after laparotomy include surgical site infection, stitch abscess, incisional hernia, wound dehiscence, evisceration.1 Wound infection and wound dehiscence after laparotomy are likely to be followed by incisional hernia within months or perhaps a few years. Acute wound failure (wound dehiscence.......

Abstract: Background: The semiology of temporal lobe epilepsy in children can be profoundly affected by age and brain development. Children with temporal lobe epilepsy are more likely to demonstrate specific semiology. Our aim was to analyze clinical presentation, EEG and radiological assessment of childhood temporal lobe epilepsy in the population of Algiers. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 32 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. We took into account familial and personal medical history, clinical examination, EEG, radiological assessment based on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging and evolution.......

Abstract: Background: The semiology of frontal seizures is enriched with age. frontal seizures having a more crude semiology in young children than in older children .Our aim was to describe the clinical semiology of childhood-onset frontal lobe epilepsy in the population of Algiers. Materials and Methods: 29 patients were identified with frontal lobe epilepsy. The patients had childhood-onset frontal lobe epilepsy before age 15 years, which had been documented between January 2012 and December 2013.The age at seizure onset, onset seizure type, antecedent (illness or event) before the onset of frontal lobe epilepsy, semiology, and EEG recordings were studied.......

Abstract: Résumé Introduction : La BPCO est une maladie respiratoire très fréquente, aux conséquences sévères en termes de morbi-mortalité qui sera selon certaines estimations la 3ème cause de décès en 2030 [1]. Elle pose donc un réel problème de santé publique. Cependant, elle reste une pathologie mal connue des patients, et sans doute mal prise en compte par le médecin généraliste notamment dans la phase de dépistage. Son principal facteur de risque est le tabagisme. Seule la prise en charge précoce peut stopper ou freiner la détérioration de la fonction respiratoire. Le dépistage paraît donc nécessaire et devrait être large chez les fumeurs........

Abstract: L'invagination Intestinale Aiguë (I.I.A.) est le télescopage d'un segment intestinal dans le segment d'aval. C'est une affection grave et dramatique du tube digestif nécessitant un diagnostic précoce et un traitement d'urgence. Nous rapportons un rare cas d'invagination intestinale aigüe chez un nourrisson de 4 mois reçu 4 jours après le début de la symptomatologie. Ce dernier a présenté toute la triade clinique d'Ombredane. Après une réanimation pré-opératoire, la laparotomie exploratrice a été réalisée. Une invagination iléo-coeco-colo-colique a été retrouvée et dont l'épine irritative retrouvée en per-opératoire est une appendicite aigue dans sa forme méso-coeliaque. Une désinvagination......

Abstract: Résume : Les schwannomes sont des tumeurs nerveuses bénignes rares, développées à partir des cellules de Schwann, dont la localisation pleurale est très rare. Nous rapportons un cas de schwannome pleural malin primitif chez un homme âgé de 76 ans, qui a consulté pour une douleur thoracique chronique avec une altération d'état générale, le bilan radiologique a objectivé une masse pleurale postérieure droite, et dont le diagnostic est confirmé par une étude immunohistochimique d'une biopsie scannoguidée et par biopsie sous thoracoscopie réalisée à visée diagnostique et thérapeutique.

Abstract: Introduction: Maxillary transverse deficiency is one of the most commonly undiagnosed problem. MARPE has generated much interest in the recent times, with good amount of supporting evidences. Thus, in this study, we are performing micro osteoperforation, a minimally invasive technique of accelerated orthodontics in the mid palatal suture region for Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) using mini- implants for skeletal anchorage to investigate whether micro osteoperforation makes mid palatal suture opening more predictable by reducing the resistance and optimizing its opening.......
