Background: walking pattern is the most important factor associated with stroke whether it's about diagnosing the posterior circulation stroke, it's about predicting the patient’s comeback in normal life. Gait is an unbiasedly most relevant thing that plays a very crucial role in making a patient independent and improving his/her quality of life.
Background: Female genital mutilation (FGM), a harmful practice prevalent in some communities in Kenya has significant psychological, physical and reproductive health consequences for survivors. Prevalence of FGM in Kenya is on a downward trend, reportedly from 21% in 2014 to 15% in 2022(1). FGM can result in complications, including sexual dysfunction, chronic pain and complications during childbirth(2).
La resección endoscópica del osteoma frontal es un procedimiento que ofrece ventajas con gran seguridad, fácil acceso y visualización, dando como resultados cicatrices pequeñas, no visibles, reduciendo el riesgo de hematomas, lesiones nerviosas y parestesias. Objetivo: Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la factibilidad de utilizar un puerto único para extirpar los osteomas frontales asistidos por endoscopia.
The current rapid deterioration of air quality in most cities can be attributed mainly to ongoing urbanization. This study simulates the dispersion of atmospheric pollutants in the city of Bamako using a HYSPLIT model, taking into account a case of total suspended particulate (TSP) emission in the environment assumed to be 180μg / m3 which exceeds two times the WHO standards. Wind climatology was established using the Wind Rose Plot (WRPlot) view.
The study focused on the comparative determination of the effects of the combination of leaf extracts of Carica papaya (CP) and Vernonia amygdalina (VA) and Artemether-based combination therapy (ACTs) on Plasmodium berghei infected male wistar rats. Fifty (50) male wistar rats, weighing 100 to 150g, were allotted into 5 groups (n=7). Group 2 (negative control) was infected but not treated, groups 3-5 which were infected received 250mg/kg b.w each of CP and VA in combination and 4mg/kg b.w of the two reference ACTs.
Identification of the accused is the crucial aspect of the investigation of a crime. Without proper identification of an accused, it is virtually impossible to complete a criminal investigation. One way to identify the offender or accused particularly when he is unknown to a prime witness, would be the process of Test Identification Parade. So, TIP is widely used as the method of identifying the suspect in criminal cases.
Psoriatic arthritis is a complex, immune-mediated inflammatory disease affecting peripheral and axial joints, entheses, skin, and nails. The IL-17 cytokine family, which includes several dimeric isoforms with overlapping and distinct functions, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis. In particular, IL-17A and IL-17F, which share 50% homology and exhibit overlapping proinflammatory activity, can form both homodimers and heterodimers.
Background: Olfactory Reference Syndrome (ORS), also known as Olfactory Reference Disorder, is a distressing psychiatric condition marked by the persistent, often delusional belief that one emits a foul body odor, despite no detectable smell by others. ORS typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and affects both sexes, with some studies indicating a slight male predominance. It is frequently comorbid with other psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (69%), social anxiety disorder (48%), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (27%).
Background: The spinal accessory nerve (SAN) plays a crucial role in shoulder function by innervating the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Its injury during neck dissection can lead to significant postoperative morbidity, including shoulder dysfunction. While various anatomical landmarks have been described for locating the SAN, these can be unreliable, particularly in the presence of metastatic lymphadenopathy. Objective: To present a novel and consistent technique for identifying the SAN during neck dissection using fixed anatomical landmarks.
Background: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While stimulant medications are considered first-line treatment, their use is frequently limited by adverse effects such as appetite loss, insomnia, and gastrointestinal discomfort. This has prompted growing interest in adjunctive therapies that offer symptom relief with improved tolerability.
