the cu, pb, zn, ag-au deposit of amensif is located on the northern flank of the western high atlas. this deposit is hosted in lower cambrian carbonate bars and is structurally controlled by ne-sw to e-w trending fault structures and is spatially associated with the permian 273 ma azegour granite. ore reserves are around 0.5 mt and grades are 3.21% zn, 0.58% pb, 0.86% cu with 83.31 ppm ag and 0...

I Hereditary hemorrhagic telangectasia (HHT) or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is characterized for fibromuscular dysplasia of the terminals vessels that propitiate the development of vascular ectasias and arteriovenous malformations. The mucosae, skin, lung and brain are the most commonly affected organs. This article describes a case of HHT an adult patient associated with multiple angiodysplasic...

Background There are many types of intervention that can lead to a change in lean body mass including: hormone replacement therapy, aging, menopause, strength training, aerobic exercise, extreme weight loss interventions (gastric bypass surgery), and starvation. Lean body mass is a metabolically active tissue which is involved in several key functions in the body, including: locomotion, basal m...

Experiments were designed to study the effect of proximal gastric vagotomy (PGV) followed by total vagotomy (TV) on the myoelectrical activity of the canine stomach and duodenum after a meat meal and during fasting. Dogs were prepared with chronically implanted Ag-AgCl-electrodes on the stomach and duodenum. Recordings of electrical activity were made for one hour after the ingestion of a meat ...

A 73-year old woman presented with progressive exertional dyspnoea. Echocardiography revealed severe regurgitation of the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves, indicating the need for multiple valve surgery. The patient had a past history of oesophageal cancer that had been treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by oesophagectomy with presternal reconstruction using a gastric tube and a pedicle...

Ingestion of even small amounts of MDMA ('ecstasy') by a small subset of the population may result in a potentially fatal clinical syndrome of severe hyperpyrexia, cardiovascular collapse, coagulopathy, rhabdomyolysis and multiple organ failure. Rapid and aggressive temperature control is of utmost importance in the management of these patients. We report a case of MDMA toxicity presenting with...

A 76-year-old woman underwent ascending aorta replacement due to acute type A aortic dissection. She suffered from a deglutition disorder, had a gastric fistula and received enteral nutrition after the operation. Two months later, a large amount of pus was discharged from the sternotomy wound. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected from the pus culture. She was successf...

Severe heroin-induced pulmonary edema occurred in three previously healthy young men. Adequate arterial PO2 could only be achieved with the use of positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP). Recovery was characterized by the gradual clearing of the pulmonary infiltrates and a gradual lessening of the severe restrictive ventilatory defects over many weeks. Concomitant aspiration of gastric acid was ...
