Background: Severe malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and individuals with comorbidities. The interaction between malaria, dehydration, hypertension, and stroke can accelerate multiorgan dysfunction through complex hematological, haemostatic, and microvascular mechanisms.

Case Presentation: We report the case of an 85-year-old hypertensive female with…

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent and debilitating chronic consequence of diabetes mellitus, impacting over 50% of patients with long-standing illness. It includes a wide range of illnesses that affect peripheral and autonomic nerves, which can cause loss of sensation, neuropathic pain, autonomic dysfunction, and a higher risk of foot ulcers and amputations. Even though diabetes treatment has gotten better, DN is still not diagnosed or treated well enough, mostly because its aetiology…

Systematic reviews derive their credibility from the comprehensive identification of relevant evidence. In medical science research, systematic reviews have traditionally been pursued through searches of multiple curated bibliographic databases, a practice reinforced by methodological convention and consensus reporting frameworks. However, this approach developed in an earlier era of scientific communication, when dissemination was slower, more journal-centered, and more tightly bounded by…

Background: The location of lesions causing hearing loss in patients with cerebral palsy remains unclear.

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of auditory pathologies in children with various forms of cerebral palsy.

Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 42 children with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy. All participants underwent comprehensive clinical examinations;…

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…
