Thus, the pelvic incidence informs about the type of back as described by Roussouly.Aim: To describe the clinical and radiological results of these types of back which are operated on for a thoracolumbar fracture.Methods: We recorded the clinical, radiological data and the characteristics of the fracture of 120 patient operated on for a thoracolumbar spine fracture over a period of 14 years between February 2005 and July 2019. We studied the deformation according to Regional traumatic angulation (ART), Sagittal Farcy Index (SIF), Gardner Segment Kyphotic Deformity (GSKD). Functional evaluation was carried out according to the Denis Pain Scale. Radiological evaluation was based on relative gain and loss.Results: In individuals with low pelvic incidence, a prevalence of 72% was observed for type A fracture, whereas types B and C accounted for 45.9% (P<0.05) for backs with high pelvic incidence. The Denis Pain Scale score indicated that 90% of individuals with low incidence backs had scores below 3, whereas only 65.6% of those with high incidences had scores below 3 (P<0.05). The loss of correction for backs with low incidences was measured at 1.2°, while for backs with high incidences, it was 3° (p<0.05).Conclusion: Fractures on backs with low pelvic incidence considered as stiff backs are more frequently of type A, with better functional results and less losses.","PeriodicalId":38818,"journal":{"name":"Tunisie Medicale","volume":"102 11","pages":"922-926"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11668161/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All students received questioning, anthropometric measurements and a food survey. According to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) body weight curves by gender, a Body Mass Index (BMI) in children ≥ 97th percentile defined overweight, and a BMI ≥ IOTF-30 defined obesity.Results: The mean age of the 105 schoolchildren was 10.8±0.5 years. The average BMI was 19.68±3.86 kg/m². More than a third of students (35.3%) were overweight. Overweight affected 45% of girls and 29.2% of boys. The prevalence of obesity was 8.6% (7 boys and 2 girls). 55.6% of girls and 47.4% of the overweight boys had a high calorie diet. TV eating was reported in 40.5% of overweight students versus 19.4% of normal weight students. Prandial overeating increases the risk of overweight in children by 18.48 (p=0.0001). Parental obesity multiplies by 2.69 the risk of overweight in their offspring (p=0.023).Conclusion: In addition to genetic heritability, children share rating habits with their parents.

Clinical and therapeutic parameters as well as data related to the choice of bDMARDs were identified. Direct costs were assessed. Excess costs were considered if the monthly costs exceeded 2200 Tunisian dinars (TD) per patient.Results: The most common CIRD was axial spondylarthritis (AS) in 44% and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 37.6% of cases. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis represented 2.7% of cases. In Tunisia, prescribing of bDMARDs is concentrated in the coastal regions and follows the distribution of rheumatologists. Certolizumab pegol was the most prescribed agent in 45% of cases. No significant association was found between the choice of bDMARD and the characteristics of patients, CIRD or prescribers. The total monthly cost of bDMARDs was 225,535 ± 1269 TD. Overspending was significantly associated with initial high DAS28 in RA and young age and total hip replacement in AS.Conclusion: Prescription of bDMARDs in CIRD is mainly for AS and in the coastal regions of Tunisia. The burden is considerable, partly due to the high cost of biologics. Data from this study may enable public health managers to better allocate the limited resources available for patient care and to develop medico-economic strategies to reduce health care costs.","PeriodicalId":38818,"journal":{"name":"Tunisie Medicale","volume":"102 11","pages":"910-915"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11668151/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142677241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) involvement is rare. We report two cases of systemic sarcoidosis with ENT onset.Observation: A 39-year-old woman with no medical history, presented with right submaxillary lymphadenopathy, associated with a nasopharyngeal swelling on the nasopharyngoscopy. Lymph node biopsy revealed numerous granulomas with epithelioid and giant cells. The computed tomography (CT) showed multiple lymph nodes along with interstitial lung disease. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis with pulmonary, mediastinal, lymph node, and nasopharyngeal involvement was retained and the patient was treated with glucocorticoids with disappearance of the submaxillary swelling and of the lymph nodes on the CT. Another 39-year-old woman, with no medical history, presented to the ENT clinic with a three-month history of bilateral nasal obstruction. Nasal endoscopy revealed hyperemia of the nasal mucosa. She was treated with antibiotics without clinical improvement. CT scan of the cranial and facial bones revealed a focal bulge at the nasopharynx's posterior wall, associated with a mucosal thickening of maxillary, frontal, and ethmoid sinuses. A nasal and a lymph node biopsy were then performed, revealing granulomatous inflammation without caseous necrosis. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis with pulmonary, lymph node, and sinonasal involvement was established. The patient was treated with glucocorticoids with clinical improvement.Conclusion: Nasopharyngeal and sinus involvement may be rare in sarcoidosis but can be part of the initial clinical picture of the disease.

Planification imaging included four-dimensional CT scans and delineation of target volumes and organs-at-risk was done as per international guidelines. Treatment doses were tailored based on tumour location.Results: A total of 10 cases were included. The male-to-female sex ratio was 4:1, with a median age of 69.5 years. Three had unconfirmed primary lung tumours, while five had inoperable stage I-IIA adenocarcinomas primarily due to compromised respiratory function. Two had oligometastatic lung diseases. All underwent recent thoracic-CT and PET-CT evaluations to exclude pulmonary fibrosis. The median lesion size was 40mm. Karnofsky's performance status ranged from 70 to 90, with no contraindications to the supine position. Eight out of 10 patients received 8 fractions of 7.5 Gy at the 80% isodose. For that regimen, the D95%, D99%, and Dmax were respectively, 60 Gy, 56 Gy, 73 Gy. All organs-at-risk dosimetric criteria were met.

After a mean follow-up of 23 months, no rib fractures or haemoptysis were observed, and no local recurrence was reported on the last chest CT scan.Conclusion: SBRT demonstrates promise for lung cancer treatment, though challenges persist in precise targeting and motion management.
