Abstract: Background: To study Retinitis Pigmentosa as a cause of blindness in patients attending MLB medical college and Hospital. Methods: A total of 22 patients of all age groups attending to MLB medicalcollege and Hospital during the period April 2017 to January 2018 were included and examined which include visual acuity testing using Snellen chart, refraction, slitlampbiomicroscopy, intra ocular pressure measurement using Schiotz Tonometer, fundus examination with indirect ophthalmoscope, visual field testing using Humprey field analyser. Fundus picture was taken using Zeiss fundus camera. Patients having retinal pathology were exclusively included in the study and others were excluded. Results: Out of 22 patients of retinitis pigmentosa 14 were males and 8 were females indicating that males were more commonly affected thanfemales.........

Abstract: Forces are transmitted through the abutments to the periodontium. Main reason of failures involve poor designing, the use of impropermaterials, inadequate tooth preparation, and lack of knowledge of biomechanics. Successful selection of abutments for fixed partial dentures requires sensitive diagnostic ability and thorough knowledge of stomatognathic system..

Key words: Abutment, abutment selection, periodontium, tooth preperation.

Abstract: Les troubles fonctionnels intestinaux (TFI) représentent un véritable problème de santé public. Certaines études épidémiologiques suggèrent une prévalence allant de 10 à 25 %. Le caractère chronique des symptômes lié aux TFI peut avoir un impact très important sur la qualité de vie (QdV) des patients dans les différentes dimensions de la vie quotidienne. L'objectif de cette étude est de mesurer la qualité de vie et à en identifier les déterminants chez les patients marocains atteints de TFI. Matériels et méthodes : Il s'agit d'une étude transversale mono-centrique avec recrutement consécutif, durant 6 mois, de patients présentant des TFI au niveau des différentes consultations de gastroentérologie au CHU Hassan II de Fès. Tout patient âgé entre 18 ans et 75 ans des deux sexes, répondant au critère de ROME III a été inclus. Les patients présentant des signes cliniques ou para-cliniques'........

Abstract: Introduction: Debate continues as to the optimum treatment for craniopharyngioma; radical surgical resection or partial resection followed by radiotherapy. Radical surgical resection may be complicated by intraoperative injury to surrounding structures and stormy postoperative hormonal problem. This study aims to examine the result of safe maximal surgical resection. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of all histopathologically proven craniopharyngiomas who had undergone surgical resection over an almost 4 year period was included. Data were collected reviewing demography, clinical presentation, hormonal dysfunction, extent of resection and visual deterioration. Outcome was measured in terms of Glasgow outcome scale and recurrence. Results: Of 25 patients, 68% were male, and 32% were female........

Key words: Craniopharyngioma, extent of resection, outcome
