Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease with an unknown pathogenesis. It is thought that environmental factors, infections,
immunological and genetic factors play a role in its etiology. LCH is a disorder of antigen presenting cells. It is the most common disease of the monocytic
phagocytic system. In his histopathology; Inflammatory cells such as T-cells, eosinophils, macrophages as well as Langerhans cells, multinucleated giant cells
attract attention.

Light is a form of electromagnetic energy that behaves as a particle and a wave. The basic unit of this energy is called a photon. Laser light and
ordinary light are significantly different. Laser light is monochromic; in dental applications that color may be visible or invisible.

Dark gingival pigmentation is a common esthetic problem. Racial pigmentation occurs in varying degrees. The gingiva is the most frequently
pigmented intraoral tissue[1]. Melanin, produced by melanocytes in the basal and spinous layers of the gingival epithelium is the most common physiologic
pigmentation[2] and normally manifests on the labial attached gingiva[3]. Various methods are used for depigmentation[4]. Surgical methods include
scalpel surgery[5-7] , bur abrasion[8, 9], electrosurgery[5, 10], cryosurgery[8,11, 12], laser[13-17, 21-28] and free gingival graft[1, 18, 19]. Chemical methods
are also available[20].

The PF would be identified after the evaluation of dental, gingival, and
bone aspects. Each of these three aspects involves the analysis of different additional elements such as dental aspects, gingival morphologies, and bone
characteristics, such as the thickness of the buccal plates. The new classification determines two types of gingival phenotypes: thin
gingival phenotype and thick gingival phenotype .

Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disease caused by arylsulfatase deficiency, which results in lipid accumulation leading to
impaired myelination. It is the most frequent inherited leukodystrophy with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Brain MRI reveals in T2WI, bilateral
and symmetrical high signal intensity abnormalities of the white matter with low signal intensity bands creating a characteristic “Tigroid appearance” (Fig 1A,
yellow arrows), initially reaching the periventricular white matter, the posterior
limb of the internal capsules and the cerebellum (Fig 1B, white arrows), with sparing of the ubcortical U fibers.

A 49-year-old man, a heavy smoker, was admitted to our hospital with a lung lesion of about 7 cm in diameter in the right upper lobe with the histologic
diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest revealed a right upper lobe lung
mass (74 x 69mm) and mediastinal lymphadenopathy that did not involve the chest wall with thrombosis of the superior vena cava (Figure 1). On further
staging, brain metastasis was detected and a lesion in the soft tissue in theleft lower paraspinal muscle (17 x 16 mm) (figure 2) without evident contact
with the ribs or the parietal pleura.

Prostate cancer is a significant public health issue, with an estimated incidence of 2,332 cases per year in Morocco, ranking as the second most
prevalent cancer type after lung cancer. Prostate biopsy is recommended when an abnormality is found during a digital rectal exam or if the PSA level is
elevated. Ultrasound technology is used to guide biopsies towards suspicious zones, allowing for precise mapping. This study aims to evaluate the technique,
results, and complications of prostate biopsy at the University Hospital of Fez's urology department.

Varicocele is a condition in which the scrotal veins of the pampiniform plexus become abnormally dilated and tortuous. It is prevalent in 15% to 20% of
men, 35% of men with primary infertility, and over 70% of men with secondary infertility. Diagnosis is mainly clinical, with paraclinical tests such as ultrasound
and echodoppler used to confirm the diagnosis and assess its impact on the testicle. The spermogram is often used to guide treatment decisions, but the
effectiveness of varicocele treatment on male fertility improvement is still debated.

There is an increase in trend in the development of multi-drug resistance(MDR) by Klebsiella globally which is a public health issue. The mortality
rates among patients infected with MDR Klebsiella are as high as 64.0%. [1]. Klebsiella species have been implicated in most hospital-acquired human
infections. However, Klebsiella pneumoniae is said to be the most important opportunistic pathogen of human infections followed by K. oxytoca, K. azaenae,
and K. rhinoscleromatis [2]. Klebsiella pneumoniae has been identified as the
cause of 3 - 30% of neonatal septicemias, 7 - 14% of nosocomial pneumonia, 2 - 4% of wound infections, and 4 - 15% of septicemias [2].

Post-activation potentiation (PPA) is a physiological phenomenon capable of increasing muscle performance during high-intensity physical
exercises. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the central and local mechanisms of potentialization of physical performance through
conditioning activities of upper and lower limbs, seeking in this way to know which mechanism of potentialization of physical performance brings more
significant results and if the flexion exercises of arm and jumps against movements presents significant values to trigger potentiation.
