Abstract: The study was undertaken to evaluate and optimize various modes of transcranial physiotherapy for reproductive system disorders in puberty girls with obesity. Combined use of transcranial magnetic therapy (TMT) and transcranial electrostimulation (TES) was substantiated by a study of the hormonal status, carbohydrate metabolism, anthropometric and clinical data, ultrasonography and electroencephalography. The application of AMO-ATOS-E apparatus for this purpose could normalize a menstrual cycle in 86,3% of the obese girls, by reducing body weight by an average of 9,26±4,28 kg for 3 months. This method was shown to ensure effective prevention of polycystic ovary syndrome. Analysis of electroencephalography indicates a baseline impairment of brain bioelectrogenesis in adolescent girls with reproductive system disorders and their correction with TMT and TES therapy.

Abstract: Pain caused by medical care is a major concern of patients. Patients undergoing hemodialysis are submitted to two venous punctures at rate of two or three times per week and this by means of big needles gauge. Where pain during Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF) cannulation should be the object of adequate take care. However few works are dedicated to it. Our purpose was to estimate prevalence, risk factors and take care of pain due to AVF cannulation to hemodialysis patients. It was monocenter study realized from 1st till 30 September 2013 in the unit of hemodialysis of University Teaching Hospital Ibn Rochd of Casablanca. It included 92 hemodialysis patients, who’s carried AVF dating of at least three months and having agreed to participate that study. The investigation was realized by a doctor. The content of the tools used for investigation was established and validated by our department. Intensity of pain estimated by means of an analogue visual scale, was quoted from 0 to 10. The pain was estimated at every patient's during two consecutive hemodialysis sessions just after the bipunction of AVF by means of needles of 16 gauge by the same nurse. The mean age was 43,76 ± 13,6 years with a parity of sex. Prevalence of pain was 60,9 % with a moderate intensity expressed in 63 % of cases. About 31,5 % had apprehension of puncture. The anesthetic cream was the only method used for pain take care and its rate of use was 3,6 %. The risk factors of the pain were: proximal situation of AVF (p=0,020), apprehension of puncture (p=0,037). In our hemodialysis center, pain during AVF cannulation remains a real problem both by its high prevalence and its lower take care. Where it imports to elaborate a strategy to manage this pain.

Abstract: Background: Granulomas in bone marrow are an infrequent finding; however several diseases may be associated with granuloma formation and an etiologic diagnosis is essential. Bone marrow examination plays an important role in the diagnosis of various disorders associated with bone marrow granulomas and is useful in the investigation of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) as it leads to an etiological diagnosis in many of the cases. Aim: This study was undertaken to ascertain the frequency and etiological background of bone marrow granulomas. Material and methods: In the present study, forty seven cases with bone marrow granulomas were included. Clinical details, peripheral blood and marrow morphological findings were analyzed. Results: Pyrexia of unknown origin was the commonest presentation and anemia was noted in all cases. Twenty five cases had associated clinical conditions, including 7 with past history of tuberculosis and 8 with retroviral disease. Of the 47 cases, 7 showed granulomas in bone marrow aspiration, while bone marrow biopsy was diagnostic in all cases. Caseous necrosis was seen in 11(23.4%) cases. Acid fast bacilli were demonstrated in one bone marrow aspirate. Culture studies grew Brucella organisms in one case. Tuberculosis was the commonest in the present study as compared to other studies probably due to the endemicity of tuberculosis in this region. Conclusion: If the granuloma is associated with caseous necrosis and Langhan giant cells and correlated with clinical features, a possibility of the tuberculous etiology may be suggested to allow empirical treatment to be initiated before microbiological confirmation.
