In Morocco, rabies is an endemic disease, with new cases of human rabies reported every year. The aim of our study is to analyze the epidemiological aspects of rabies in the province of Ouarzazate. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study using records available at the Ouarzazate Municipal Hygiene Office. It includes 1,759 cases of exposure to animal bites between 2016 and 2019. Results: We identified 1,759 cases of animal bites during the period of 4 years of study, representing an average annual exposure rate of 190/100,000 inhabitants. Most cases were rural (65%). The median age of bitten cases was 28 years, with people under 15 years of age exposed in 32% of cases. Males predominate, with 61.3% of cases. Dogs are the main animal aggressors at 47.8%, followed by cats at 33%. The upper limbs are the preferred sites of aggression (89.2%). Exposure was grade III in 76.8% of cases. Lesions were multiple in 52.1% and superficial in 62.6%. No cases of human rabies have been recorded since 2001, despite 20 cases being exposed to a biologically confirmed rabid animal during our study. Conclusion: Rabies remains a public health concern in the province of Ouarzazate, despite the presence of a national rabies control program. Effective control of this zoonosis requires strengthening education and community engagement, as well as close collaboration between animal health and human health sectors for integrated management of bite cases.","PeriodicalId":407259,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141368272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The validation of sample stability through pneumatic tube system (PTS) is essential. The use of Pneumatic Tube System can improve specimen turnaround time; allowing more effective time management of the porters by reducing the need to physically take specimens from one department to another. Prior to use, the Pneumatic tube system must be validated to ensure the reliability of laboratory test results, particularly those impacted by movement, such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), potassium (K+), complete blood count (CBC), particularly hemoglobin and coagulation tests. The most common way of validating pneumatic tube systems is to compare blood samples transported by pneumatic tube systems to blood samples transported by hand. High speeds and rapid acceleration of blood samples can increase the risk of hemolysis and negatively affect sample quality and test results. Moreover, the installation and design of each pneumatic tube system exhibit unique characteristics that are exclusive to each individual institution. The established protocol necessitated the use of either a human courier or pneumatic tube technology in order to transport a collection of replicated samples to the laboratory. Comparative research will be conducted on a sample size of twenty healthy adult volunteers to assess the integrity of the sample. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of PTS transportation on laboratory results and whether is there any difference as compared to hand courier method.","PeriodicalId":407259,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology","volume":"53 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139167521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is common in the head and neck region but rare in the oral cavity. Most of these lesions are asymptomatic but sometimes may be associated with pain and paraesthesia. Neurofibromas with atypical features are quite rare and only a few cases are reported in literature. Here is a case of a female patient presented with pain and swelling in the anterior maxilla, which was clinically diagnosed as a periapical cyst. Radiographic evaluation of the lesion revealed dilated incisive canal and a Nasopalatine duct cyst was suspected. The patient was advised to take antibiotics for one week. The symptoms were sustained in the follow-up visit and an incision biopsy was made. Microscopic examination revealed pleomorphic spindled and round cells. Immunohistochemistry was performed to identify the origin of these pleomorphic cells. Based on the histopathological examination, special staining, and immunohistochemistry, we concluded the diagnosis as neurofibroma with atypical features. The current case emphasizes the significance of clinical, radiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical evaluation of oral lesions. The presence of atypical features in Neurofibroma must be considered cautiously as as it is more prone to progress into Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST).","PeriodicalId":407259,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology","volume":"600 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139177205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are three main types of VWD that differ according to the degree of disease severity and inheritance pattern (Type 1, Type 2A, 2B, 2M, 2N and Type 3). Methodology: This is 05 years study (Feb 2016–Jan 2021) conducted in hematology section. In present study, amongst total inherited bleeding disorders, Incidence of VWD is 27%, Hemophilia (50%), inherited platelet disorders (14%) and remainder are undiagnosed. Amongst VWD, Type 1 VWD is the most common subtype studied, comprising 66% of total cases. Type 2 & 3 VWD comprised 23% and 10% of total cases showing good correlation with the literature and other studies. Discussion: The European cross-sectional study yielded a population-based estimate of 0.05 per 100,000 for type 3 VWD. Estimates by VWD type from Europe and Western Pacific reported higher prevalence estimates for type 1 disease than type 2 or type 3: 2.7–7.2 per 100,000 for type 1 VWD, 0.8–2.5 per 100,000 for type 2, and 0.1–0.3 per 100,000 for type 3. Conclusion: VWD usually presents with mild bleeding symptoms (except in type 3 VWD) the diagnosis is often delayed. Prompt diagnosis and management can help to avoid potentially life-threatening bleeding events and unnecessary exposure to blood products.","PeriodicalId":407259,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
