Microvascular changes using OCT Angiography in diabetic eyes without clinical evidence of retinopathy

Mona Rekik , Sonda Kammoun , Aida Jallouli , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Amira Trigui

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to visual impairment among individuals of working age. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) has been developed to visualize the retinal microvasculature and choriocapillaris based on the motion contrast of circulating blood cells.Purpose: To investigate the qualitative microvascular changes in retinal vascular plexuses and choriocapilla...

Hormonal implication in pediatric intracranial hypertension

Mona Rekik , Sonda Kammoun , Aida Jallouli , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Amira Trigui

Introduction: Pediatric intracranial hypertension (PIH) refers to increased pressure within the skull in children. While it is less common than in adults, hormonal factors can play a role in certain cases. Changes in hormone levels during puberty, particularly in girls, may contribute to this condition. This form is sometimes referred to as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension of Adolescence. We report a case of bilateral papilledema revealing idiopathic intracranial hypertens...

Frikha Hamdi , Trimeche Oumeyma , Gherissi Wiem , Ben Salah Dhoha , Boujelben Khouloud , Mnif Fatma , Mnif Mouna , Abid Mohamed , Rekik Majdoub Nabila

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in its classical form is an early-onset and challenging-to-treat condition with long-term evolution associated with significant morbidity, typically involving metabolism, bone, and gonadal aspects. Through this specific case study, we illustrate one of the rare complications of CAH in adulthood.Case Report: A 24-year-old patient, born of consanguineous parents, has been monitored since birth for classica...

Salah Dhoha Ben , Boujelben Khouloud , Missaoui AbdelMouhaymen , Elleuch Mouna , Fatma Mnif , Mmnif Mouna , Charfi Nadia , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Kacem Akid Faten Haj , Abid Mohamed

Introduction: Even at physiological doses, glucocorticoid replacement therapy may lead to deleterious outcomes on bone mineral density (BMD).The aim of our study was to investigate the BMD in Tunisian patients with Addison disease and to identify the risk factors associated with its decline.Patients and methods: The study included 50 patients diagnosed with primary adrenal disease (Addison disease). BMD was assessed by the dual -energy -X-ray absopitomet...

Prevalence and risk factors of diabetic painful distal symmetrical polyneuropathy

Ben Salah Dhoha , Abdelmoula Mariem , Mejdoub Yosra , Ketata Nouha , Elleuch Mouna , Mnif Fatma , Charfi Nadia , Mnif Mouna , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Haj Kacem Akid Faten , Abid Mohamed

Introduction: Distal and symmetrical peripheral polyneuropathy is the most frequent type of diabetic neuropathy. Its painful form (PDN) is the most common cause of non-traumatic neuropathic pain and can place a heavy burden on patientsÂ’ lives. Despite the major impact that it can have on the quality of life, PDN is generally underdiagnosed because of a large interindividual variability of symptoms and in the absence of well-established diagnostic criteria.<p class="ab...

Obesity and abdominal adiposity are associated with lower urinary tract symptoms in Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes : a cross-sectional study

Haj Kacem Akid Faten , Missaoui Abdelmouhaymen , Belhoul Mariem , Belabed Wafa , Ben Salah Dhoha , Fatma Mnif , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Elleuch Mouna , Abid Mohamed

Background and Aims: Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunctions are highly prevalent, especially in women. Diabetes is a well-established risk factor for developing LUT symptoms. Several studies suggest that a high body mass index (BMI) may worsen the urinary discomfort in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The current survey aims to investigate the relationship between obesity and LUT dysfunctions in patients with T2DM.Patients and Method: We conducted a...

Clinical characteristics and glycemic control in Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from lower urinary tract dysfunctions: a comparative population-based survey

Haj Kacem Akid Faten , Missaoui Abdelmouhaymen , Behoul Mariem , Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Abdellahi , Belabed Wafa , Ben Salah Dhoha , Fatma Mnif , Rekik Majdoub Nabila , Elleuch Mouna , Abid Mohamed

Background and Aims: Several studies have pointed a significant relationship between diabetic complications, glycemic imbalance, and the onset of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in this population. The current survey aims to assess the clinical and biochemical characteristics related to glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes presenting with symptoms of LUTD.Patients and Method: We conducted a comparative cross-sectional study that inclu...

Background: Poor glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM) is a well-documented responsible factor for microvascular complications, especially eye and kidney damage. The onset of chronic kidney disease(CKD) marks a serious turning point in the clinical history of DM in terms of cardiovascular prognosis. Our study aims to assess the cardiovascular risk(CVR) in diabetic patients with CKD.Method: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study ...
