Introduction: Ethics is an integral part of medical practice; medical ethics are based on the following principles: respect for the person, the principle of beneficence, the principle of non-maleficence and the principle of justice. We conducted a study that the objective is to study the perception of the notion of medical ethics, to assess the level of training and knowledge, to evaluate attitudes and practices in the exercise of the medical profession. Materials and methods: 100 doctors at the Marrakech University Hospital were recruited for a study about “Ethics in the medical practice of non-psychiatrist doctors”, throughout 6-month and we completed a pre-designed, structured, anonymous questionnaire that describes the sociodemographic characteristics of the doctor and assesses and provides information on his knowledge, attitudes and practices in medical ethics. Results: The majority of physicians were aware of medical ethics and the majority had acquired knowledge in this area at the faculty level, It was also found that more than half of doctors were unaware of the existence of a code of ethics in Morocco and that most of the opinions were in favor of the establishment of a unit of information, education and communication in ethics of care and medical ethics; on the other hand, the majority of our doctors have deemed that the consent of patients is necessary during surgical treatments in the first place, followed by medical treatments. 35% of physicians still always shared information with their patients in daily practice. Conclusion: These attitudes and practices are statically independent of the physician’s medical or surgical specialty. Rather, they relate to the education of physicians in clinical ethics.

Trichobezoars are a collection of hair or hair-like material within the gastrointestinal tract Clinically asymptomatic. This observation describes trichobezoar illustrated by gastric perforation occurring in the post partum period. An 35-years-old multiparous woman, she previously presented in active labour and spontaneaously give birth to a stillborn baby. There was no past of depression or anxiety. Three days later the woman presented to the emergency departement with a sudden onset of upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Clinically, she was throught to have peritonitis. Peroperative exploration reveals a large gastric perforation, the stomach was noted to be enlarged by a firm, uniform mass. This later was identified as a trichobezoar. Trichobezoar is a rare entity which generally presents insidiously with non-specific abdominal symptoms. After the exclusion of more common etiologies, trichobezoar should be considered in all young females presenting with symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction

Skin diseases are a common problem among young adults. They can result in serious emotional and psychological disorders. This study was conducted to assess the frequency of dermatologic diseases among Moroccan university students living on the public university campus. 460 individuals were included accounting for 14, 8% of the university campus students. The mean age was 21 years old. 44% were males and 56% females. All dermatological diseases were recorded. The inflammatory dermatoses were the most prevalent (38%) with predominance of acne (17%), followed by contact eczema (9%), psoriasis (7%), urticaria (4%) and rosacea (2%). Infectious dermatoses were found in 32% of cases, with epidermomycosis on top of the list (16%), then scabies (10%) and genital infections in 6% of cases. Hair pathology was reported in 25% of students, mostly represented by hair loss and dandruff. No case of malignant disease has been reported. The average development time was 11 months, in 70% of cases after settling in the university campus. A low socio-economic level was noted in 68% of the students. 80 % of cases affirmed that the dermatologic disorder negatively impacted their quality of life. Our results highlight the high morbidity of skin diseases in this population, thus more researches should be carried out in this specific community in order to improve their conditions and reduce the burden of dermatologic disorders.
