The credibility of science and the advancement of knowledge depend on scholarly publishing's integrity. Trust is the foundation of the whole publication process, from data collection and article drafting to peer review and editorial decision-making. However, a number of integrity issues threaten the validity of academic writing in many emerging research systems, including Nigeria. The main categories of misbehavior in journal publication are thoroughly examined in this work, including…

This retrospective study evaluates the respiratory impact of exclusive cannabis use via traditional pipes in asthmatic patients (n=7) compared to a non-smoking control group (n=54) to assess the clinical and functional consequences of this practice. The results demonstrate increased morbidity among cannabis users, marked by a high prevalence of dry cough (71%) and dyspnea (57%), as well as significant lung function impairment with a mean FEV1 of 65% and a Tiffeneau index of 0.60. The study…

Conducted on a cohort of 150 patients followed at the Respiratory Diseases Department of the 20 August 1953 Hospital in Casablanca between 2019 and 2023, this retrospective and analytical study outlines the profile of severe asthma in a Moroccan referral center. The study population has a mean age of 36 years with a female predominance (58%) and high exposure to environmental humidity (46%), while the clinical profile is dominated by allergic rhinitis (56%) and gastroesophageal reflux…

A 40‑year‑old man presented with recurrent perineal abscesses originating from a congenital isolated perineal canal extending from the anterior aspect of the anal canal to the base of the scrotum. Since the age of 18, he experienced 3‑4 episodes of painful perineal swelling requiring incision and drainage. The chronicity and midline perineal involvement raised repeated concerns for underlying Crohn’s disease. However, serial MRI pelvis studies, colonoscopic evaluations, and histology from…

Perspective Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force in modern healthcare, enabling data-driven approaches to diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making [1]. By incorporating techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and natural language processing, AI systems are increasingly capable of analyzing complex clinical data and supporting personalized care [2]. One area that has recently gained attention is…

Breast milk is well-known for its role in infant nutrition and immune protection. Recent studies also suggest its potential for therapeutic use due to the presence of bioactive compounds with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. This paper explores the potential of breast milk from African women in addressing male urogenital infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), bacterial prostatitis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). African breast milk contains bioactive…

Human Breast milk, as a rule, is famous for its unique digestive benefits for babies, and has currently accumulated attention for its potential role in reinforcing intellectual function in women. Rich in unnecessary vitamins, hormones, and bioactive fragments, human milk holds compounds in a way that lactoferrin, human milk oligosaccharides, and tumor determinants support intellectual development in early growth. However, these components can offer benefits as men age. Studies imply that…
