Changing the face of stroke care in the Middle East North Africa region
The Middle East North Africa consists of seventeen countries and extends Eastern Asia to Morocco in the West. The region has an estimated population of 411 million. In the absence of good quality data on stroke incidence and prevalence from the region, the exact burden of this devastating disease is hard to determine. However, as these countries undergo epidemiological transition, the burden of non-communicable diseases is found to be on the rise and a recent review of the available literature, suggests an increase in the stroke incidence and mortality in the region [1].

Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphisms (C677T and A1298C) and Hemorrhagic Stroke in Moroccan Patients
The number of deaths from hemorrhagic strokes is about twice as high than the number of deaths from ischemic strokes. Genetic risk assessment could play important roles in preventive and therapeutic strategies. The present study was aimed to evaluate whether the MTHFR gene polymorphisms could increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage in Moroccan patients.

Moyamoya disease in a Moroccan baby: a case report
ConclusionThis case highlights the importance of considering moyamoya disease to be one of the classic etiologies of acute ischemic strokes in children from North Africa. It also emphasizes the rare presentation among the African population and the use of neurovascular imaging techniques to facilitate diagnosis of moyamoya disease.

The association between bullous pemphigoid and comorbidities: a case-control study in Moroccan patients
CONCLUSION: This study showed that BP is associated with stroke and the presence of malignancy compared to the age-matched general population. This study also calls for investigation into the specific role of some drugs as inducing factors for BP.PMID:35339128
