Many dental professionals now work more efficiently, more comfortably, and faster due to dental lasers. Delivering energy in the form of light is how
all lasers operate. The laser serves as a cutting tool or a vaporizer of tissue when it comes into contact with it during surgical and dental treatments. The
laser serves as a heat source and intensifies the effects of tooth-whitening substances when it is employed in teeth-whitening procedures.

In 2020, Morocco recorded more than 59,370 new cases of cancer. Breast cancer is the most frequent type (11,747 cases), which represents 38.9% of
female cancers (1). In Morocco, access to health care, which is a universal right, is blocked by a multitude of challenges (2). Moroccan cancer patients suffer
from poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, lack of social security, and inadequate health insurance. Cancer remains a costly disease that leads to the inevitable
impoverishment of Moroccan patients (3).

Since the discovery of X-rays in 1895, radiological techniques using X-rays have become increasingly important tools in medical diagnosis and treatment.
With the widespread use of imaging, other non-radiation-based imaging techniques (ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) have also been
developed. The use of image-guided interventional methods to treat patients has also become common.

Vasculitis is a class of varied disorders identified by vascular wall inflammation, with complicated and poorly identified pathophysiological
mechanisms [1]. Vaccine effects on the immune system are a debatable matter. There have been many vaccine-associated immunological adverse outcomes that have been mentioned in the literature; for instance, systemic lupus
erythematosus has been described with the papilloma vaccine, and Guillain Barre syndrome was described in association with the influenza vaccine and
immune demyelination was reported as a consequence following the hepatitis
B vaccine.

Due to its high prevalence and the severity of its complications, hypertension
is the leading independent and modifiable risk factor in cardiovascular disease.
However, despite the significant advances in understanding the disease process
and the availability of effective diagnosis and treatment methods, identifying
the actual cause is still a considerable challenge.

Syringoma appears as skin-colored or yellow colored papules mostly on periorbital region in adolescent females.1 Eruptive syringoma is a very
rare variant of syringoma. The pathophysiology is poorly understood. They are considered benign adnexal tumors of ecrine sweat ducts or hyperplastic
response of the eccrine ducts to an inflammatory reaction.1,2 Eruptive syringoma can present multiple papules on the neck, anterior trunk, upper
and lower extremities or pubic area. It’s more common in women, and it can be seen in the prepubertal age as well as in the postpubertal age.3 Eruptive
syringoma may associate diabetes mellitus, Down syndrome, Costello syndrome and Marfan syndrome.

Due to a hyperinflammatory state at the clinical and molecular level and profound immunoparesis, patients with decompensated cirrhosis are at risk
of developing bacterial infections which frequently result in hospitalization1. The most common infections in cirrhosis are spontaneous bacterial peritonitis,
urinary tract infection, pneumonia, spontaneous bacteremia, skin and soft tissue infection2. Clostridium difficile infection is also a prevalent type of infection in
cirrhosis and hurts the prognosis of patients. The Clostridium species is a gram positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped microbe.

Cellulitis is a commonly presenting acute bacterial infection of dermal and subcutaneous tissue, which falls under the broader category of skin
and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) [1]. Cellulitis typically presents as a warm, erythematous, and poorly demarcated area with tenderness to palpation
and associated edema [2]. Thorough evaluation of a patient’s history is necessary when differentiating cellulitis from other dermatological disorders,
as many inflammatory and neoplastic diagnoses appear clinically similar [4]. Major predisposing factors for developing cellulitis include previous cellulitis,
immunosuppression, and pre-existing infections

A 62-year-old patient presented with fever persisting despite antibiotic treatment, weight loss and sweating for a period of several weeks. On
physical examinations hepatosplenomegaly was noticed. Increasing pancytopenia triggered bone marrow biopsy, showing expanded and dysplastic
erythropoiesis, dysmegakaryopoiesis and hypoplastic granulopoiesis. The patient was diagnosed with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Bone
marrow cells displayed a normal karyotype. Infectious disease diagnostics were negative. During the course of the disease liver enzymes, d-dimers, laboratory
markers of inflammation, coagulation parameters and pancytopenia worsened.
