Our survey was a retrospective and analytic setting, over 9 years, from January 2004 to December 2012. It included 10 inpatients and took place at cardiology service of Point G teaching hospital. Its goals were to assess cardiovascular risk factors, the delay between the clinical onset and admission and to describe ECG changes and echocardiographic changes of myocardial infarction in patients under 40 year-old. Young patients accounted for 6.8% of MI admissions with male predominance of 90%. The disease frequency has increased with age, 40% were within 38-40 year-old range, the risk factors were predominantly smoking 80%, Stress 50%, High Blood Pressure 40% and dyslipemia 20%. The typical chest pain was the major symptom. The anterior necrosis was the most common of electrical pattern, 8 times in 1O the ejection fraction was down and segmental kinetic was impaired in 60% of patients on echocardiography. Over 3 quarters of patients were admitted 12 hours after the onset of symptoms and the evolution during hospitalization was good with no fatality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is to estimate the nutritional values of plantain hybrids CRBP 39, FHIA 17 and FHIA 21 by comparing them with that of Orishele variety as control. For this purpose, Wistar rats weighing in average 82 ± 1.23 g were fed with these plantain diets. The results show good nutritional values of these plantain hybrids. Their daily ingestions by rats vary from 8.41 ± 0.08 to 9.41 ± 0.07 g/d; and an increase in rat weight ranging from 8.38 ± 0.16 to 8.74 ± 0.20 g/d is observed. Plantains used are digested well; their digestibilities vary from 98.43 ± 0.01% to 99.02 ± 0.01% for starch and from 95.38 ± 0.01 to 95.84 ± 0.13% for dry matter. Hybrids starch digestibilities are significantly different from that of the Orishele variety (P≤ 0.05). Rats fed with these plantain hybrids diets have a glycemia ranging from 0.7 to 1.2 g/l with no significant difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Renal oncocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the kidney. This benign tumor of epithelial origin represents 5% of renal tumors. Preoperative diagnosis is not easy. The final diagnosis can only be made on the anatomical part; even imaging result can be ofer evocative. We report the case of a 41 years old patient with renal oncocytoma confirmed after radical nephrectomy for renal tumor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND & AIMS: This study was carried out to assess the dose-dependent bone-sparing effect of oleuropein, an olive oil phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, on bone loss induced by talc granulomatosis in oestrogen-deficient rat. METHODS: Among 98 rats, 20 were sham-operated (SH) while the others (78) were ovariectomised (OVX). The SH and 26 OVX rats (controls) were given a standard diet for 100 days. The 52 remaining OVX rats were allocated to 4 groups that received oleuropein at 2.5, 5, 10 or 15 mg/kg body weight per day for 100 days. Three weeks before necropsy, an inflammation was induced by subcutaneous injections of talc in half of the SH and OVX rats and in all oleuropein-treated animals. RESULTS: Castration was associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD). In OVX rats, inflammation, characterised by an increase of the spleen weight and plasma fibrinogen levels, exacerbated this bone loss, as shown by values of BMD of the total femur metaphyseal and diaphyseal subregions. The 4 doses of oleuropein reduced bone loss and improved inflammatory biomarkers excepted for 5mg/kg BW. CONCLUSIONS: Every dose of oleuropein elicited protective effects on bone mass in this model of ovariectomy associated with inflammation, probably by modulating inflammatory parameters.

We investigated the ability of genistein and daidzein, two soybean isoflavones, compared with that of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol, to prevent bone loss in ovariectomized rats, a model for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Female Wistar rats (n = 65; 12 mo old) were either sham-operated (SH; n = 13) or ovariectomized (OVX; n = 52). On d 0, OVX rats were randomly assigned to groups as follows: 13 received genistein [G; 10 mcg/(g body weight. d)], 13 were treated with daidzein [D; 10 mcg/(g body weight. d)], 13 received 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol [E(2); 30 mcg/kg body weight. d)] and 13 were untreated (OVX). Compounds were mixed with a soy protein-free powdered semipurified diet and given orally for 3 mo. On d 90, the bone mineral density (BMD) in lumbar vertebrae, femur and its metaphyseal and diaphyseal zones (rich in cancellous and cortical bone, respectively) was lower in OVX than in SH (P < 0.01). In D or E(2), the four BMD were not different from SH, whereas in G, only the diaphyseal BMD was not different from SH. Image analysis performed in the distal femur metaphysis revealed that the cancellous bone area was lower in OVX than in SH (P < 0.01). Only the area in D was not different from that in SH. Finally, the bone turnover, which was higher in OVX than in SH (P < 0.005 and P < 0.05 for plasma osteocalcin concentration and urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion, respectively), was not different in G, D or E(2) compared with SH. Therefore, consumption of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol or daidzein was more efficient than genistein in preventing ovariectomy-induced bone loss in rats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
