RESEARCH

Prevalence and associated factors of alcohol use patterns among university students in Uganda
Louis Henry Kamulegeya et al.

The harmful use of alcohol is a serious global health burden causing both acute and chronic health problems and adverse social consequences are common when they are associated with alcohol consumption. Every year, the harmful use of alcohol kills 2.5 million people, including 320,000 young people between 15 and 29 years of age. It is the third leading risk factor for poor health globally and harmful use of alcohol was responsible for almost 4% of all deaths in the world, according to the estimates for 2018. READ MORE

 

Compared efficacy and tolerance of the neuromuscular blockade induced by brand-name (Nimbex®) and generic (Cisatrex®) of cisatracurium in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients: a crossover double-blind randomized study

Nesrine Fraj et al.

Generic drugs are made to be chemically and therapeutically equivalent to the brand name ones. These equivalencies are obtained at lower costs making generic drugs use certainly appealing. Therefore, many payers/providers have encouraged substitution of brand name drugs with inexpensive bioequivalent generic versions. In the last 30 years, several controversies concerning generic drugs legislation have arisen. Recent literature reviews demonstrated that physicians, pharmacists and general population hold negative perceptions and knowledge of generic medicines. Neuromuscular Blocking Agents (NMBAs) are usually used in patients with altered respiratory mechanics properties such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), status asthmaticus or severe acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD).  READ MORE 

CASE REPORTS

Concomitant in-situ and in transit right heart thrombi: a case report

Najlaa Belharty et al.

In absence of atrial fibrillation, right heart thrombi (RHT) mostly represent an embolus in transit originating from a deep venous thrombosis which has the propensity of distal embolization. They are uncommon but are associated with higher mortality (80-100%). Right atrial clots may also form in-situ and are mostly small and immobile. There is little if any consensus for the optimal management of RHT, thus being challenging, most importantly, when treating a combination of in transit and in-situ RHT. READ MORE

1p36 deletion syndrome: first case report in Morocco detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): a case report
Kenza Dafir et al. 

1p36 deletion syndrome (OMIM: 607872) is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, a characteristic facial dysmorphism made up of straight eyebrows, sunken eyes, wide and flat nasal bridge, upper floor middle of the hypoplastic face, a long philtrum, a pointed chin and a frequent delay in closing the anterior fontanel (>3cm at birth), microbrachycephaly, upturned ears of low implantation and malformed, brachydactyly, camptodactyly, short feet, hypotonia, developmental delay, intellectual deficit, seizures, heart defects and hearing and vision impairment.
