In this manuscript, we try to address key questions regarding artificial intelligence in medicine, such as what artificial intelligence is and how it works, what is its value in terms of application in medicine, and what are the prospects?
the aim of our study is to determine, from data of the Moroccan register of biotherapies, the factors influencing the choice of the first prescribed biological treatment.
cross-sectional multicenter study including rheumatoid arthritis patients who were initiated the first biological treatment either Rituximab, an anti-TNF, or Tocilizumab. The determinants related to the patient and disease have been gathered. A univariate and then multivariate analysis to determine the factors associated with the choice of the first bDMARDs was realized.
a total of 225 rheumatoid arthritis patients were included in the Moroccan registry. The mean age was 52 ± 11 years, with female predominance 88% (n = 197). The first prescribed biological treatment was Rituximab 74% (n = 166), the second one was Tocilizumab, 13.6% (n = 31) then comes the anti-TNF in 3
position with 12.4% (n = 28). The factors associated with the choice of Rituximab as the first line bDMARDs prescribed in univariate analysis were the insurance type, the positivity of the rheumatoid factor. In multivariate analysis, only the insurance type that remains associated with the choice of Rituximab as the first biological drugs. The Tocilizumab was associated with shorter disease duration and was more prescribed as mono-therapy compared to non Tocilizumab group. TNFi was associated with the insurance type.
our study suggests that Rituximab and TNFi are associated with the type of insurance and Tocilizumab is the most prescribed biologic mono-therapy in RA patients. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR) associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) was higher in developing countries. In two teaching hospital in Ethiopia Debremarkose 23% and Yirgalem 73.2% of study participants reported at least one ADR. Since there was limited information about ADR in the study area; we aimed to determine its incidence-rate and predictors.
we conducted retrospective cohort study using medical records of HIV-infected patients enrolled on ART between 2006 and 2017 in government hospitals of Ethiopia. ADR was defined as report of at least one unwanted response to ART. We run descriptive and cox regression analysis (CRA).
incidence-rate of ADR was 4.1 per 100 person-years (py). check details Hazards of ADR among patients living at rural was almost two times than at urban; [Adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) 1.94(95% (CI) 1.18, 3.20)]. Stavudine (D4T)-Lamivudine (3TC)-Nevirapine (NVP) had about two times [AHR 1.78(95%CI 1.03, 3.08)], Zidovudine(AZT)-3TC-NVP had about two times [AHR 2.34 (95%CI 1.20, 4.57)], D4T-3TC-Efaviranze(EFV) had about three times [AHR 2.86(95%CI 1.38, 5.95)] and AZT-3TC-EFV had about two times [AHR 2.16(95%CI 1.21,3.90)] hazards of ADR than Tenofovir(TDF) based regimens. Being WHO clinical stage III had about two times hazard of ADR [AHR 2.46 (95%CI 1.22, 4.95)] and IV had about four times hazard of ADR [AHR 4.32 (95%CI 1.88, 9.93)] than stage I.
risk of ADR was higher among adult HIV-infected patients on ART living in rural, WHO clinical stage III and IV, and patients on AZT and D4T based regimen. AZT should not be given as an alternative treatment, increase access of TDF regimens.

We performed a review of all medical records of patients with breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy in the Maternity and Neonatal Center, Monastir-Tunisia, over the period 2004-2019. We collected data on 15 cases. The average age of patients was 34 years; most pregnancy-associated breast cancers (PABCs) had been diagnosed during the postpartum period. Invasive ductal carcinoma was the major histological type (93% of cases), a rare case of secretory breast carcinoma had been observed. The main clinical stages were T2 and T4 breast cancer. Hormone receptor (HR)-negative breast cancers had been reported in 40% of cases, HER2-positive breast cancers in 26.6% of cases. Treatment included surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and palliative chemotherapy. The median overall survival was 32.2 months. Pregnancy-associated breast cancer is a rare entity. Patients' prognosis is generally poor due to the young age at onset and a usually delayed diagnosis. Patients should participate in therapeutic decision making, which is difficult and multidisciplinary. Targeted therapy is the great hope for new therapies.
coronary artery disease seem common in stroke patients. We aimed to determine the prevalence of coronary artery disease in stroke survivors followed at the Borgou-Alibori Departmental University Hospital (CHUD/B-A).
this was a cross-sectional study, conducted from March 1 to August 31, 2019. It included all stroke patients, aged ≥ 18 years, received in the neurology unit of CHUD-B/A between January 2012 and July 2019, having survived the acute phase, and from whom written informed consent or that of a guardian (severely disabled patients) has been obtained. An individual interview, anthropometric measurements, a physical examination, an electrocardiogram record and a review of the medical record were performed. The coronary artery disease was defined by a documented history, suggestive ST/T and/or Q abnormalities (Minnesota criteria) or a positive angina screening questionnaire. The factors associated with coronary artery disease were investigated by logistic regression.
a total of 101 patients were included with an average age of 57.
