Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) treatment decreases fertility capacity, but unnecessary fertility preservation procedures in women who would not be infertile after treatment would be a waste of time and resources and could cause the unwarranted exposure of cancer cells to exogenous sex hormones. It has been largely shown that post-treatment ovarian reserve is directly associated with pre-treatment anti-mullerian hormone levels (AMH0). A threshold for AMH0, or a model including AMH0 and patient characteristics that could distinguish the patients who will be infertile after treatments, still needs to be defined. Accordingly, this study was performed to specifically target this high-priority concern. METHODS Women≤45 years old with newly diagnosed non-metastatic BC were entered in this multicenter prospective cohort study. AMH0 and two-year post-treatment AMH (AMH2) were measured, and hormonal patient features were recorded as well. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, decision tree (DT), and random forest analyses were performed to find a cut-off point for AMH0 and define a model involving related features for the prediction of AMH2. RESULTS The data from 84 patients were analyzed. ROC curve analysis revealed that AMH0>3 ng/mL (Area under the curve=0.69, 95% CI: 0.54‒0.84) was the best indicator for predicting AMH2≥0.7 (sensitivity=79%, specificity=60%). The best model detected by DT and random forest for predicting an AMH2>0.7 with a probability of 93% consisted of a combination of AMH0>3.3, menarche age<14, and age<31. CONCLUSION This combination model can be used to withhold fertility preservation procedures in BC patients. Performing larger studies is suggested to further test this model.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at 350 °C using the spray pyrolysis technique. As deposited and annealed thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and photodetection. Unlike the as deposited samples which were amorphous, annealed samples show an anatase phase. Films were absorbent in the UV region and the band gap energy decreases from 3.78 eV to 3.4 eV with annealing. The photoresponse of TiO2 photodetectors was recorded under UV (λ1 = 365 nm, λ2 = 254 nm) and visible light illumination by reversible switching (ON/OFF) cycles using DC electrical characterization. Photosensitive properties such as reproducible photosensitivity, responsivity, and detectivity were also studied.

Abstract
Mental illness affects 48.9 % of the Moroccan population. Despite this significant figure, mental illness remains unrecognized. The patients suffering from mental disorders are therefore subject to stigma and social rejection. A descriptive study was conducted at the consultation service of the psychiatric Ibn Nafiss hospital of the CHU of Marrakech. We chose as a sample 100 stabilized patients, followed on an outpatient basis. The study included the three mental disorders: depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The number of patients in each group had been fixed beforehand; and we tried to get a fairly even distribution between the two genders. The questionnaire had three main axes: (1) Sociodemographic data of the patient. (2) Knowledge of the disease. (3) Evaluation of the experience of stigma. The results of our sample were as follows: For both sexes the age extremes were 19 to 68 years with an average of 38.5 with a clear predominance of women. For the entire population, most patients were single with a percentage of 60 %. Two thirds of the patients, i.e. 59 %, did not exceed primary school. For personal medical history, endocrine pathologies were the most prevalent, at 18 % of cases, while depression was the most common family psychiatric history in our study. We noticed that our population suffered more discrimination and disclosure from those around them regardless of family, social and professional with less appreciation of the positive aspects.

Abstract
Background
Women are more susceptible to develop several forms of pulmonary hypertension, but they may have better survival rates than men. Sparse data are available concerning sex-specific differences in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
Purpose and methods
We investigated sex-specific differences in the clinical presentation of CTEPH, functional parameters, exposure to pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA), and survival.
Results
Women constituted half of the study population (N=679 treatment-naïve patients from the European CTEPH registry) and were characterized by a lower prevalence of some cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. prior acute coronary syndrome, smoking habit, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), but more prevalent obesity, cancer, and thyroid diseases. Median age was 62 (IQR 50–73) years in women and 63 (IQR 53–70) in men. Women underwent PEA less often than men (54% vs 65%; Figure 1, Panel A) and were exposed to fewer additional cardiac procedures, notably coronary artery bypass graft surgery (0.5% vs. 9.5%). The prevalence of specific reasons for not being operated, including the patient's refusal and the proportion of proximal vs. distal lesions, did not differ between sexes. A total of 57 (17.0%) deaths in women and 70 (20.7%) in men were recorded over long-term follow-up. Female sex was positively associated with long-term survival (adjusted Hazard Ratio 0.66; 95% Confidence Interval 0.46–0.94). Short-term mortality was identical in the two groups (Figure 1, Panel B).
Conclusions
Women with CTEPH had a lower prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and underwent PEA less frequently than men, who, in turn, were more often exposed to additional major cardiac surgery procedures. Women had more favorable long-term survival.

Abstract
Background and Purpose Treatment of life-threatening fungal infections caused by Candida species has become a major problem. Candida spp. are the most important causative agents of candidiasis. Allium tripedale is a medicinal plant that has been traditionally used to treat infections. In the present study, we aimed to determine the chemical compounds and antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic extract of A. tripedale against different species of Candida. Materials and Methods Phytochemical analysis was performed to identify the possible bioactive components of this extract by using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The hydroalcoholic extract of A. tripedale were collected. Different concentrations of A. tripedale (50, 25, 12.5, and 6.25 mg/ml) were used to evaluate its antifungal activity against Candida species (C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, and C. krusei) using disk diffusion assay. Results The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 40 different phytoconstituents with peak area; the major compounds were tetracosane, hexadecanoic acid, 1-eicosanol, 1,2-dihydro-pyrido[3,2,1-kl]phenothiazin-3-one, 2-hexadecen-1-ol, and 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl. Hydroalcoholic extract showed strong antimicrobial activity (inhibition zone ⩾ 20 mm), moderate antimicrobial activity (inhibition zone < 12-20 mm), and no inhibition (zone < 12 mm). In addition, the hydroalcoholic extract exhibited the highest antimicrobial properties against C. albicans strains. Conclusion A. tripedale extract had a considerable inhibitory effect against various Candida species, but its highest inhibitory effect was against Candid albicans. Further investigations are required to detect the performance of this plant in the treatment of Candida infection.

Abstract
It is important to establish lung function reference values for each population. This study aimed to determine the spirometric reference values for healthy Saudi Arabian children and adolescents and to derive prediction equations for these. A cross-sectional study was conducted among healthy schoolboys and girls aged 6-18 years old, selected randomly from the 6 administrative regions of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected by questionnaire and physical examinations including spirometry. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were significantly higher in males than females. Height was the anthropometric variable most strongly correlated with FEV1 (r = 0. 61), more so for males (r = 0.71) than females (r = 0.50). In males the multivariate linear regression model explained 53.9% of FEV1 and 35.1% of FVC variations. In females it explained 25.3% of FEV1 and 16.5% of FVC variations. All changes in R² were statistically significant.

Abstract
Chronic constrictive epicarditis is a special form of chronic pericarditis. It is characterized by a thickening of the visceral pericardium that becomes adherent to cardiovascular structures, thus impeding the diastolic filling of the ventricles. The parietal pericardium remains soft, without symphysis with the visceral pericardium. We illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this pathology by a clinical case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese children are at the risk of micronutrient deficiency especially iron deficiency. Given the importance of iron deficiency in this age group and considering the existing discrepancies, present study was performed with the aim of evaluating iron deficiency in obese children. MATERIAL AND METHOD This study was conducted, in the form of a case-control study, on 100 children aged between 5 to 15 during June and November 2013 in Kashan. Cases consisted of 50 obese children and controls were 50 children who were not obese.Blood sample was drawn to check for serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) by biochemistry method and plasma ferritin by ELISA method. The obtained data were entered into SPSS software version 16 and statistically analyzed. P < 0.05 was identified as statistically significance. RESULTS The mean values of serum iron were 52.38 and 64.50 microg/dL for the case and control groups (P<0.02). TIBC levels in obese and non-obese Children were 434.80 and 382.28 microg/dL (P<0.008). The ferritin level in the study group was 70.56 versus 68.06 ng/ml in the control group (P=0.79). In the obese children group, 8.3% (n=2) of children with iron deficiency had ferritin levels less than 15 while in control group 100% (n=14) of iron deficient children had ferritin levels below 15 (P<0.001). CONCLUSION In our study, mean serum iron levels were lower among obese children in comparison with control group. However, ferritin concentrations were similar in both groups. It is supposed that due to inflammatory state caused by obesity, serum ferritin levels are naturally higher in obese people. It is suggested that higher levels of ferritin considered as normal reference values in obese people.

Abstract
Abstract In a prospective cohort study, we evaluated the effect of Helicobacter pylori seropositivity on the risk of future adverse cardiovascular outcomes among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In 433 patients, IgA and IgG antibodies to H pylori, along with classic risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, smoking and family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) were determined. Short-and long-term follow-up information on adverse outcomes, defined as recurrence of unstable angina, myocardial infarction, coronary angioplasty, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and sudden cardiac death was obtained. None of the classic CAD risk factors correlated with incidence of either short- or long-term outcomes. Seropositivity for H pylori was significantly associated with risk of short-term adverse outcomes, and independently predicted their incidence in multivariate regression (R = 3.05, p < 0.001). Results failed to show such an association between H pylori seropositivity and long-term adverse outcomes. H pylori infection may affect short-term prognosis in patients with ACS. Randomised trials are needed to evaluate the role of H pylori eradication in these patients.

Abstract
The development and evolution of PKU can be prevented by prescribing an appropriate diet at an early age. A systematic neonatal screening has been set up in most countries. However, young women suffering from PKU give birth to very severely malformed children (PKU embryopathy: microcephaly, mental retardation, hypotrophy, cardiopathy) unless they again take up the specific diet, until the PHE level has lowered down to normal, before the beginning of gestation. The treatment has to be continued at least during the first months of gestation. This management is very unpleasant and sometimes not easily accepted. The mechanism of this embryopathy is still unknown. It is possible that (1) the excess of PHE or the presence of abnormal metabolites, or (2) serotonin deficiency (which is a feature of PKU) could be responsible for the maldevelopment of the embryo. Some authors consider that serontonin has a morphogenetic role in normal embryogenesis. Previously we described an experimental animal model using in vitro culture of rat embryos in human PKU sera. Mouse embryos have been subsequently used, since they show a greater sensitivity. Malformations, consisting essentially of neural tube defects, were present in almost 100% of the embryos cultured in serum from PKU patients. Using this animal model, we tested the hypothesis of serotonin deficiency. For this purpose, mouse embryos were cultured in human serum depleted of serotonin. Under these conditions, 100% of the embryos showed oculo-neural malformations characteristic of the experimental embryopathy. These results indicate the importance of serotonin deficiency in the occurrence of PKU embryopathy.

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a debilitating disease caused by chronic obstruction of pulmonary artery branches following episodes of pulmonary embolism and incomplete thrombus resolution. The prognosis of patients with CTEPH is poor unless an early diagnosis is made and treatment is initiated. Chest radiography and echocardiography are used in the initial assessment of suspected pulmonary hypertension. A diagnosis of CTEPH may be confirmed by the presence of a mismatched wedge-shaped perfusion deficit during ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy or characteristic findings during multi-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography, including a mosaic perfusion pattern, dilatation of proximal pulmonary arteries and right heart chambers, and the presence of vascular stenosis or obstruction. Prior to possible surgery, pulmonary angiography remains the definitive diagnostic technique, indicating the site and accessibility of the obstruction. However, many centres utilise CT and magnetic resonance imaging following recent advances in these noninvasive techniques. Haemodynamic evaluation via right heart catheterisation is also mandatory, as pulmonary vascular resistance is the most important determinant of both prognosis and the risk associated with pulmonary endarterectomy surgery. Accurate CTEPH diagnosis and characterisation of its extent and distribution are imperative to allow the prompt initiation of treatment, particularly surgical pulmonary endarterectomy in eligible patients.

Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the effect of using a topical hemostatic agent named “ChitoHem®” on different factors on patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. Methods: The present blind, randomized, controlled study included 124 patients randomly divided into 2 groups. In the treatment group following femoral sheath removal, ChitoHem® powder and in the control group conventional hemostatic procedure was applied. Results: In the treatment group, time to hemostasis, ambulation, and the use of sandbag were significantly shorter compared with the control group, respectively (4.6 ± 1.3 vs 12.4 ± 4.4 minutes, 3.5 ± 2.7 vs 23.0 ± 1.73 hours and 1.6 vs 98.4%; P < .05). There were no significant differences in hematoma formation and re-bleeding between the 2 groups. Conclusion: It was exhibited ChitoHem® topical hemostatic powder used on treatment patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography was statistically superior at reducing the time to hemostasis and ambulation as well as the use of sandbags compared with manual compression in control group.

Abstract
Syphilitic cardiovascular complications are currently rare. It concerns the tertiary phase of the disease and results in sacciform aneurysm of the thoracic aorta or ostial coronary artery stenosis. Syphilitic aortic regurgitation is even more rare. We illustrate it by a clinical observation and discuss its diagnosis and its treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast every day from dawn to sunset. Several studies have shown that Ramadan fasting affects biochemical parameters, sleep/wake cycle, behaviour and food habits. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting (RF) and physical exercise on cognitive functions, blood glucose. METHODS Eleven healthy male volunteers aged 20.45+/-1.65 years were assessed before RF (B.RF), during the 1st week (wk), 3rd wk and 1 wk B.RF, in blood sugar, work memory (WM), visual perception (VP), before exercise (B. Ex) and after exercise (A. Ex) exercise of 1000 m. RESULTS Compared to control days (B.RF), there were no significant changes in body mass index. Physical performance declined significantly during 1st wk (p<0.001), 3th wk (p<0.013) and before (p<0.046) of RF. At the level of the glycemia, the results show a significant effect of Ramadan by increasing gradually during Ramadan but nevertheless, the values remain lower of 100mg/dl. No significant change was observed between B. Ex and A. Ex value in WM during RF. However, the WM A. Ex value increase significantly during and after RF (respectively 1st wk (p<0.013), 3rd wk (p<0.005) and before (p<0.003). The VP was significantly affected by fasting effect (F=16.84, p<0.001) and exercise effect (F=14.01, p<0.0001), and was progressively increased 15.56% in the 1st wk, 25.69%, the 3rd wk during RF, and 27.07% A.RF, but no significant change was found in errors performances of VP during and after RF. CONCLUSION These results showed that the intermittent fasting imply differently effects on cognitive functions and physiological.

Abstract
AIMS To design and evaluate a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) protocol by combining comparative genomics and bioinformatics for characterization of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola (PSP), the causal agent of halo blight disease of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). METHODS AND RESULTS Genomic sequences of Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, P. fluorescens and P. aeruginosa were analysed using multiple sequence alignment. A pathovar-specific region encoding pathogenicity-related secondary metabolites in the PSP genome was targeted for developing a LAMP assay. The final assay targeted a polyketide synthase gene, and readily differentiated PSP strains from other Pseudomonas syringae pathovars and other Pseudomonas species, as well as other plant pathogenic bacteria, e.g. species of Pectobacterium, Erwinia and Pantoea. CONCLUSION A LAMP assay has been developed for rapid and specific characterization and identification of PSP from other pathovars of P. syringae and other plant-associated bacteria. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This paper describes an approach combining a bioinformatic data mining strategy and comparative genomics with the LAMP technology for characterization and identification of a plant pathogenic bacterium. The LAMP assay could serve as a rapid protocol for microbial identification and detection with significant applications in agriculture and environmental sciences.

Abstract
Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) results from a diffuse narrowing of the distal thoracic or abdominal aorta commonly involving both the visceral and renal arteries. Congenital, acquired, inflammatory, and infectious etiologies have been described. Symptoms typically occur within the first three decades of life and include hypertension, lower extremity claudication, and mesenteric ischemia. The condition is considered a life-threatening emergency as a result of the complications associated with severe hypertension. Diagnosis is made with magnetic resonance and computed tomography angiography. Surgical bypass grafting is the optimal method of treatment and must be tailored depending on the distribution of disease. We report one case of MAS treated with thoracic aorta to abdominal aorta bypass and reimplantation of the right renal artery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (LA-UPPP) is a recently developed technique for treating snoring and mild sleep apnea. This treatment is associated with severe postoperative pain. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of transnasal administration of butorphanol tartrate (Stadol NS; Bristol-Myers Squibb, New York, NY) as a primary means of controlling pain after this surgical procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty patients (14 men and 6 women; mean age, 43 years) were enrolled and treated with LA-UPPP and radiofrequency turbinate procedures (coblation) for severe snoring and chronic nasal congestion in an open label study. The same surgeon performed all procedures. Patients were advised to take 2 tablets of ibuprofen (200 mg each) and use a single 1 mg spray of Stadol NS in 1 nostril for the initial dose. If adequate pain relief was not achieved in 1 to 1.5 hours, an additional 1 mg dose of Stadol NS was recommended. Thereafter, they could repeat the ibuprofen and Stadol NS every 3 to 4 hours, as needed. Comprehensive preoperative and postoperative evaluations were made using a visual analog scale of 0 to 10, with 0 equal to no pain and 10 being the most severe. Patients were followed-up for 14 days. RESULTS All 20 patients had LA-UPPP and nasal turbinate radiofrequency coblation, and all 20 were eligible for both efficacy and safety analysis. Pain was reduced from a mean of 6.6 to a mean of 3.3 (50%) after an average of 48 minutes after the initial dose. CONCLUSION Stadol NS appears to be an effective treatment for moderate-to-severe pain after LA-UPPP. If patients have difficulty swallowing, which is the case with most throat surgeries performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists, the transnasal route of administration reduces the number of oral medications taken by the patient.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Although bonding to all-ceramic restorations is desirable, there is little information on the use of resin cements containing a phosphate monomer, and the importance of different surface treatments on their adhesion to high-strength core materials. PURPOSE This study attempted to determine the shear bond strength values between Panavia 21 resin cement (Kuraray) and an alumina core material (In-Ceram) after 3 surface treatments and the application of a silane coupling agent. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five In-Ceram cylindrical rods were fabricated and assigned to 3 groups. Group I specimens were treated with a 9.5% hydrofluoric (HF) acid, group II with a 5% HF acid, and group III were sandblasted. All specimens were coated with a silane coupling agent (Cavex Clearfil Photobond and Activator) before cementation with Panavia 21 to sandblasted nickel-chromium rods. As a control, group IV consisted of 8 porcelain (Vitadur Alpha) rods treated with a 5% HF acid and silane. All specimens were subjected to a load of 1.2 kg during cementation, then stored under water for 36 hours. A jig mounted on a Hounsfield Universal Testing machine was used at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min to test the shear bond strengths. RESULTS The results were 14.65 +/- 4.64 MPa for group I, 18.03 +/- 6.13 MPa for group II, and 22.35 +/- 5.98 MPa for group III In-Ceram specimens; and 18.05 +/- 8.46 MPa for control (group IV). CONCLUSION The use of Panavia 21 resin cement and a silane coupling agent can achieve a successful bond between either sandblasted or 5% HF acid-etched In-Ceram core material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A lagophthalmus following facial nerve palsy is not only a cosmetic problem, but can also cause serious complications to the cornea, such as ulceration and perforation. A passive eyelid closure can be achieved by the implantation of a gold weight in the upper eyelid. METHODS Within five years we performed 21 implantations of gold weights in patients with facial nerve palsy. RESULTS In 19 patients (90%) good eyelid closure was achieved. In three patients the gold weight was removed for the following reasons: remission of paralysis, foreign body sensation, and wound infection. CONCLUSIONS The insertion of an eyelid goldweight in the upper eyelid in patients with established facial palsy is an effective method of reducing the incidence of discomfort to the eye and corneal complications. The insertion is simple and performed under local anaesthesia, and is easily reversed or revised if necessary.

Abstract
Five cases of amyloidosis involving structures in the oral cavity are reported. Three cases appeared to be secondary systemic amyloidosis, one case was the systemic form associated with multiple myeloma, and one case appeared to represent nodular or localized amyloidosis. All cases appeared in persons over 63 years of age, and the most common area of involvement was the tongue. The nature of so-called amyloid deposits in certain odontogenic tumors is discussed in light of recent knowledge of amelogenins and enamelins.
