Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a global public health issue. Our aim was to determine the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects of liver in hepato-gastroenterology department hospital Aristide Le Dantec Dakar. Patients Methods: We conducted retrospective study with descriptive focus covering period from January 1st, 2010 December 31, 2020. included medical records pa...

Proposal The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains a clinical one but as no single presenting symptom is disease specific, evidence from paraclinical tests are generally sought to support the diagnosis. Evoked potentials (EP) once provided valuable information on dissemination in time and space when clinicians had few alternatives, but advances in neuroimaging and emerging technologies h...

We describe a patient with a combination of dystonic and parkinsonian signs. Paraclinical studies revealed a mutation in the GTP cyclohydrolase I gene (GCH1) and a decrease in [123I]-N-omega-fluoropropyl-2beta-carbomethoxy-3beta-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (123I-FP-CIT) binding ratios indicative of Parkinson's disease. We conclude that the patient probably suffers from a variant of dopa-responsiv...

In the last years, there has been extremely much information which reveals an alarming increase of obesity in children and, at the same time, an increase of the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD implies a wide range of affections starting from simple hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); the latter can evolve to cirrhosis and hepatic carcinoma. A...

The presence of cardiological manifestations in trichinellosic infections in humans is frequently associated with severe clinical forms of the infection. Very frequently, the clinical condition manifests itself infraclinically, but it is only by means of paraclinical investigations that we can establish the correct diagnosis. The cardio-vascular manifestations include: trichinous myocarditis ch...

The former (1) and current (2) multiple sclerosis (MS) classifications are essential for describing different phenotypes and disease dynamics. To establish personalized treatment regimes, further clinical and paraclinical parameters have to be considered such as imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, past disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), and disease activity under these therapies. In c...

Dear Editor I read with great interest the case report titled “Periumbilical pain with radiation to both legs following tarantula bite; a case report” published in Emergency journal (1). The authors introduce a male patient presenting with periumbilical pain radiating to both legs. They performed paraclinical evaluations to rule out large vessel insult and herniated disk; however, he discharged...

Melanoma is a malignant tumor rarely being described in sub-Saharan Africa. We reported an unusual and atypical clinical presentation. It was a 59-year-old patient who was hospitalized for a monomelic black tumor evolving for 10 years. Histopathological examination confirmed the melanocytic origin of this tumor. Paraclinical assessment did not find any visceral metastasis. A partial resection o...

TMD's, as a cluster of individual diseases and disorders, pose new intellectual challenges to the diagnostic skills of dentists. New technologies enable dentists to avail themselves of paraclinical data such that diagnosis can and should be disease specific or etiology specific. The importance of logic in diagnostic reasoning is discussed. Studies of the reasoning process of doctors with reputa...
