Ocular sarcoidosis
Introduction: Ocular involvement in sarcoidosis accounts for 11.8% of uveitis cases. The aim of our work is to study the clinical characteristics of patients presenting with sarcoidosis uveitis. Patients and Methods Retrospective study in the ophthalmology department. Results We included 9 patients (8 women and 1 man), 4 patients presented with initial ocular manifestations revealing systemic involvement whereas the diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis preceded ocular involvement in 5 patients. The mean age at first consultation was 49 years (29-58). Ophthalmological involvement was bilateral in all patients, 2 patients (22%) had both anterior and intermediate uveitis and 4 patients (44%) had posterior involvement which was classified as panuveitis with retinal vasculitis in 1 case, panuveitis with multifocal choroiditis in 2 cases and panuveitis with retinal vasculitis and multifocal choroiditis in 1 case. Conclusion: Ocular involvement in sarcoidosis is common, and should be investigated in the presence of bilateral granulomatous uveitis.
The distal radial approach in interventional cardiology
The distal radial approach in interventional cardiology is an innovative and promising technique that uses an artery more superficial than the proximal radial artery primarily in coronary angiography and coronary angioplasty procedures, and perhaps in other types of procedure in the future. This technique offers several advantages over the conventional or femoral approach, including reduced risk of bleeding, vascular complications and pain, and essentially reduced risk of radial artery occlusion, as well as improved patient comfort and quality of life. However, this approach requires a longer learning curve and mastery of specific catheterization techniques, as it can sometimes be limited by anatomical difficulties or individual variations. The distal radial approach is an attractive option in interventional cardiology for eligible patients, which can improve clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Bipolar Disorder With Rapid Cycles
Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD) is a particularly severe progressive modality. It is a poorly individualized entity. The profile of patients with this clinical specification is poorly defined, and therapeutic remedies are poorly codified. The aim of our work was to make a descriptive assessment of the sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with TBCR, and to compare them with those of other patients with bipolar disorder.We conducted a retrospective, descriptive and comparative cross-sectional study of hospitalized patients divided into two groups: patients with rapid cycling and those without rapid cycling (TBNCR).Identifying patients at risk of developing rapid cycles and preventing their onset requires knowledge of the associated characteristics, and the adoption of a bio-psycho-social approach aimed at optimizing treatment and socio-professional reintegration.
Shaken Baby Syndrome
Since the early 2000s, a growing body of scientific studies in neuropathology, neurology, neurosurgery, biomechanics, statistics, criminology and psychology has cast doubt on the forensic reliability of medical determinations of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), more recently termed Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). Studies have increasingly documented that accidental short falls and a wide range of medical conditions, can cause the same symptoms and findings associated with this syndrome. Nevertheless, inaccurate diagnoses, unrealistic confidence expression, and wrongful convictions continue to this day. Bringing together contributions from a multidisciplinary expert panel of 32 professionals across 8 countries in 16 different specialties, this landmark book tackles the highly controversial topic of SBS, which lies at the intersection of medicine, science, and law. With comprehensive coverage across multiple disciplines, it explains the scientific evidence challenging SBS and advances efforts to evaluate how deaths and serious brain injuries in infants should be analysed and investigated.
The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine
An expose of the corruption of medicine by the pharmaceutical industry at every level, from exploiting the vulnerable destitute for drug testing, through manipulation of research data, to disease mongering and promoting drugs that do more harm than good.Authors, Professor Jon Jureidini and Dr Leemon McHenry, made critical contributions to exposing the scientific misconduct in two infamous trials of antidepressants. Ghostwritten publications of these trials were highly influential in prescriptions of paroxetine (Paxil) and citalopram (Celexa) in paediatric and adolescent depression, yet both trials (Glaxo Smith Kline's paroxetine study 329 and Forest Laboratories' citalopram study CIT-MD-18) seriously misrepresented the efficacy and safety data.The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine provides a detailed account of these studies and argues that medicine desperately needs to re-evaluate its relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. Without a basis for independent evaluation of the results of randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trials, there can be no confidence in evidence-based medicine.Science demands rigorous, critical examination and especially severe testing of hypotheses to function properly, but this is exactly what is lacking in academic medicine.'The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine is a brilliant expose of the negative influence of the global pharmaceutical industry on the integrity of medicine. Every medical student, doctor and patient should read this account of the ways in which medical evidence is distorted to meet the needs of Big Pharma for profits. Importantly the book points to ways in which medicine's independence can be reclaimed through improved governance and public funding.' - Professor Fran Baum
Elastography
Elastography is a recent application of conventional ultrasound evaluation with recognized benefits in the field of malignancy risk assessment and disease evolution prediction. This book examines the use of this technique in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alcohol-induced liver disease, liver fibrosis, chronic hepatitis, portal hypertension, and hepatic tumors. It also discusses the use of elastography in the pediatric population for thyroid disease and hepatic, or musculoskeletal diseases. Nonabdominal elastography applications are also presented, such as in breast pathology, thyroid diffuse and nodular disease, renal chronic disease, parathyroid hyperplasia and chronic musculoskeletal impairment.

Occluso-prosthetic rehabilitation in children
This book highlights the possibility of making dental prostheses in children and the implementation of these prostheses, with their different characteristics. These prostheses, after occlusal imbalance and disturbance of the oro-facial functions, allow to give back to the child the joy of living and eating for a good growth and a good development. The prostheses are fixed, removable and removable partial and total prostheses. Dento-maxillofacial prostheses must be added.
Chronic Liver Diseases
Chronic liver diseases can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Given their long silent progression, their diagnosis is still too late. New highly effective treatments are now available and others will become available very soon. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception of chronic liver diseases by primary care physicians, as well as their current practice regarding the screening and management of these pathologies. The results of our study reveal an under-perception of chronic liver diseases by general practitioners. Indeed, they underestimate the prevalence and impact of these diseases and do not screen them optimally because they do not systematically target all populations at risk. Primary care physicians have expressed a willingness to be trained and to modify their practice, particularly through the use of simple blood tests for advanced fibrosis. This would allow earlier diagnosis of liver fibrosis and offer curative treatment of chronic liver disease before the advanced stages.
Myopia among Adults. Prevalence and Risk Factors
Academic Paper from the year 2023 in the subject Medicine - Ophthalmology, language: English, abstract: Today, with increasing level of education and living standard, the prevalence & severity of myopia appear to be an upward trend. Although the mechanisms of development and progression of myopia remain uncertain, environmental factors such as a higher level of education, more near-work, and lesser outdoor activities, could be associated with myopia. This study sought to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of myopia among KNUST students in Kumasi- Ghana. In this cross-sectional study, 307 Students of KNUST aged between 17 and 35 years were randomly recruited. Information on near work, indoor and outdoor activities and well as sleep duration and habits and use of visual aids was obtained using myopia risk factor questionnaire. Non-cycloplegic refraction was performed using autorefraction technique. Myopia was defined as spherical equivalent refraction (SER)
Portal vein diameter in cirrhotic and non cirrhotic patients. A sonographic comparison
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Medicine - Internal Medicine, grade: A+, University of Lahore (University of Lahore), course: Msc Ultrasound, language: English, abstract: This publication aims to compare the portal vein diameter in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients through ultrasound. Liver cirrhosis is a clinical condition in which the normal liver parenchyma is replaced with fibrosis in such a situation it becomes difficult for blood to easily pass through the Portohepatic venous system. Therefore, the portal vein becomes engorged and increases in diameter, while blood flow velocity reduces. Portal hypertension is clearly-defined as the rise of portal venous pressure, largely due to cirrhosis, which leads to increased hepatic vascular resistance and engorgement of the blood in the portal venous system. This disease may result in an array of disorders, like that the development of collateral vessels for returning of the blood to the right atrium with the potentiality for intestinal bleeding, development of ascites, encephalopathy, and formation of a 11 hyper-dynamic circulation involving peripheral and splanchnic vessels, related with the malfunction of kidneys, the heart, the lungs, and the brain.

Who Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology
WHO Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology is Volume 1 of this new series of reporting systems for cytopathology, which is a joint project of the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a specialized agency of the World Health Organization (WHO). The series includes a unique synthesis of the published evidence and the practice of cytopathology, and it is linked to the WHO Classification of Tumours series, now in its 5th edition. Cytopathologists look at tumours slightly differently than other specialists do, and there is a need for specialized reporting systems based on the key diagnostic cytopathological features of tumours, presented in standardized reports, within a hierarchical system of diagnostic categories. These categories must also be linked to diagnostic management recommendations to improve communication with clinicians and support patient care. And it is essential that these reporting systems be truly international, to serve the needs of patients worldwide in many differently medically resourced settings. These volumes are an essential tool for standardizing diagnostic cytopathology practice worldwide and will serve as a vehicle for the translation of cytopathology research into practice. The key diagnostic cytopathological features are listed for each tumour type under a defined set of diagnostic categories and described in precise, uniform language. These diagnostic criteria represent the first international consensus and are underpinned by evidence that has been evaluated and debated by experts in the field. Each lesion-specific section includes a dedicated subsection discussing the differential diagnosis of the cytopathological features that can be used throughout the world, including in low-resource settings, followed by a subsection describing the current best-practice application of ancillary testing (including next-generation sequencing) on cytopathology material. This volume: Prepared by about 60 authors and editors Contributors from around the world, reflecting an international expertise More than 300 high-quality images More than 1000 references
Biological risk management
Following numerous accidents related to the handling of biological fluids in clinical biology laboratories, the Douala General Hospital decided to undertake a biological risk assessment in the laboratory; this was done with a view to establishing a plan to identify the dangers related to exposure to biological products. To achieve this, we carried out an inventory through QQOCCP tools, interviews and checklists, and then identified hazardous situations based on the observation of real work situations and according to the method of preliminary risk analysis and potential hazards, in order to carry out an easy assessment. At the end of this study, a large number of hazards were identified and the search for solutions to prevent these risks was condensed into a table named unique documents of biological risks in the clinical biology laboratory of the general hospital of Douala and given to the person in charge of biosafety of the laboratory.
How to Request a Test: A Clinician’s Guide to the Interpretation and Evaluation of Medical Tests
Medical tests consume considerable resources and yet making requests is often left to the most junior members of the team. Medical schools often under prepare junior doctors for these tasks so they tend to request large numbers of tests to make sure 'all bases are covered' by the time a more senior colleague attends to the patient. Beginning with na簿ve questions such as 'what is a medical test?' and 'why do we perform tests?', the book also covers the evaluation of tests from a public health perspective and helps the readers to determine whether a test should be introduced into clinical care. By describing the basics of medical decision making based on probability thresholds, students will learn how to avoid unnecessary testing when results are unlikely to influence patient relevant decisions, and the pros and cons of using metrics such as sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. Illustrated throughout with real life examples from multiple medical and surgical specialties, it concludes with a novel checklist for doctors to consider every time they think of requesting a test. Written by a clinician for clinicians, this book is ideal for medical students and junior doctors. It provides everything they need to know to become experts at requesting tests. It will support them in requesting the most appropriate and effective tests, and inform them on how to interpret results, improving patients' outcomes.
Metabolically Healthy Obese
Obesity, a chronic disease with a variety of manifestations, is considered a heterogeneous multifactorial pathology. Epidemiological studies have shown a significant increase in its prevalence, affecting subjects of different ages and gender. Complications, which used to be linked in an obligatory and unconditional way, have seen a dissociation of obesity in recent years with the appearance of the MHO phenotype.The authors have established different classifications based on criteria (anthropometric, biological and ultrasonographic) in order to separate the MHO phenotype from the metabolic diseased obese subjects. The aim of this study is to determine and phenotype the subjects metabolically free of the metabolic syndrome.Key words: obesity, MHO, metabolic syndrome.

The Role of Biochemistry of Hormones & Heredity in Hereditary Diseases
To respond to specific stimulation in the body, hormones are secreted and the desired message is sent to the target cell and its connection is done through receptors on the target cell. The receptors of the target cells are proteins and can be membrane or intracellular. In other words, the connection is made in the same membrane or it goes inside the cell. These receptors are three dimensional and act like locks and keys by binding to hormones. After connecting, it executes the command it had in that cell and by performing new reactions, it causes changes in the cells. Hormones either control a specific part of the body or are in charge of general control. According to their type, hormones are transported in the blood free or bound with specific proteins. For example, peptide hormones are transported in a soluble form in plasma, and steroid and thyroid hormones are transferred in connection with plasma proteins. Hormones are inactive when they are attached to these proteins. These hormones are transferred in the blood at a slower rate and remain in the blood for a long time.

MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I Best of Fives
Volume I assesses the candidates' knowledge in cardiology, pulmonology, renal medicine (as well as acid-base balance, electrolytes disturbances, and urology), gastrointestinal medicine and hepatology, and finally neurology (as well as stroke medicine, medical ophthalmology, and psychiatry). Medicine is an ever-changing branch. The COVID-19 global crisis has reformatted our concepts and perspectives on the understanding of novel diseases and their treatment, including vaccinations. During the last decade, there has been a robust revolution in smartphones and the internet access industry, and accordingly, both have been reflected in the ways in which postgraduate trainees get their information and study. My previous books, "Get Through MRCP Part I; BOFs" (published by the Royal Society of Medicine Press in London, 2008), "Mock Papers for MRCPI part I, 2nd Edition" (published by Lulu Press, Inc., USA, 2016), and "Self-Assessment: 650 BOFs for MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I" (published by Lulu Press, Inc., USA, 2017) have already covered most of the classical examination scenarios and themes. Combined, they create a question bank of approximately 1600 questions. In writing this book, I have tried to focus on the most important updates in medicine that have been emerging during the past decade; novel diseases, novel investigations, and newly approved medications. Needless to say, COVID-19 and its SARS-CoV-2 will be encountered in each chapter, in addition to occupying a unique position in the chapter on infectious diseases. The other aspect that I think is very crucial to tackle is women's health and pregnancy. Once again, such a topic has been addressed in each and every chapter. There are no separate chapters for geriatrics, clinical sciences, and pharmacology (including therapeutics and toxicology); their questions have been distributed throughout the book's chapters. Each answer is followed by an explanation and a reference (source) and/or additional (further) reading. In this way, you can go there; skim the whole subject if you are interested to get more information. Good luck with your career and exams!

Higher life expectancy on a global level requires complex nursing care as poor education and a lack of knowledge can lead to mistakes. There is a need for nurses who can provide high quality and advanced nursing practice. A mix of well-grounded education and innovative research is needed, where the first provides an understanding of best nursing practice care delivery and the second helps nurses determine best practices and improve nursing care.
On the Natural Faculties
Galen of Pergamon, was a prominent Roman physician, surgeon and philosopher. The most accomplished of all medical researchers of antiquity, Galen contributed greatly to the understanding of numerous scientific disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and neurology, as well as philosophy and logic. Galen's understanding of anatomy and medicine was principally influenced by the then current theory of humorism, as advanced by many ancient Greek physicians such as Hippocrates. His theories dominated and influenced Western medical science for more than 1,300 years. Medical students continued to study Galen's writings until well into the 19th century. Galen conducted many nerve ligation experiments that supported the theory, which is still accepted today that the brain controls all the motions of the muscles by means of the cranial and peripheral nervous systems.

Epidemiological and Clinical Study of Epilepsy During ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder of school-aged children. Its association with epilepsy, reported in 8-77% of cases, is complex.We conducted a retrospective, descriptive, and analytic study from September 2018 to August 2019. We recruited patients followed for ADHD at the Centre National de M矇decine Scolaire et Universitaire, and explored at the Charles Nicolle Hospital. All patients an EEG at the time of diagnosis. We collected 30 patients with a mean age of 12.27 years. The mean age of onset of ADHD was 6.73 years. ADHD was of mixed type in 18/30 cases, hyperactivity-impulsivity in 7/30 cases and inattention in 5/30 cases. Epilepsy-disease was found in 20% of patients (3/6 cases before the diagnosis of ADHD and 3/6 cases after a delay of 3.67 years). The average age of onset of seizures was 7 years: generalized tonic-clonic (4/6 cases), typical absence (1/6 cases), and focal (1/6 cases). The EEG showed inter-spinal abnormalities in 30% of patients with a left frontal predominance. We found significant associations between these anomalies and the occurrence of epilepsy.

Association of hyperbilirubinemia, leukocyte count and CRP value in the early clinical diagnosis of complicated and non-complicated appendicitis
Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2018 in the subject Medicine - Diagnostics, grade: 10, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje (Medical faculty), language: English, abstract: This study aims to establish the role of hyperbilirubinemia as a laboratory marker in prediction of acute appendicitis in the early diagnosis and complicated appendicitis, as well as to compare laboratory markers such is C - reactive protein, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and WBC together with Alvarado scoring model. Even though appendicitis has been known since two centuries ago, acute appendicitis presents a diagnostic challenge for the majority of general surgeons during their work, regardless of several diagnostic modalities applied. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted in the University Clinical Center of Prishtina in the Department of Abdominal Surgery and in General Hospital of Mitrovica. The prospective data collection included 201 patients admitted in the emergency ward with suspicion for acute appendicitis, in which the preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis was established and appendectomy was performed, during the period from September 2016 up to October 2017.
