The effect of occupational exposure to ergonomic risk factors on osteoarthritis of hip or knee and selected other musculoskeletal diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are developing joint estimates of the work-related burden of disease and injury (WHO/ILO Joint Estimates), with contributions from a large network of experts. Evidence from mechanistic data suggests that occupational exposure to ergonomic risk factors may cause selected other musculoskeletal diseases, other than back or neck pain (MSD) or osteoarthritis of hip or knee (OA). In this paper, we present a systematic review and meta-analysis of parameters for estimating the number of disability-adjusted

Interventions for Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis.

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous leishmaniasis, caused by a parasitic infection, is considered one of the most serious skin diseases in many low- and middle-income countries. Old World cutaneous leishmaniasis (OWCL) is caused by species found in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and India. The most commonly prescribed treatments are antimonials, but other drugs have been used with varying success. As OWCL tends to heal spontaneously, it is necessary to justify the use of systemic and topical treatments. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2008. OBJECTIVES: To assess

Sickle cell diseases: What can nuclear medicine offer?

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the best known haemoglobinopathy, caused by a mutation substituting valina for glutamic acid at position 6 of the beta-globin chain of adult hemoglobin A, resulting in hemoglobin S (HbS). The homozygous HbS disease (HbSS), an autosomal recessive disorder, is the most common form and the Mediterranean area, along with sub-Saharian African and India, have the highest prevalence (1%-15%). In particular, Sicily with a prevalence of 2%-5%, is among the most interested regions. However, migratory flows have led to a wider diffusion of the disease no longer confined to en

Community views on active case finding for tuberculosis in low- and middle-income countries: a qualitative evidence synthesis.

BACKGROUND: Active case finding (ACF) refers to the systematic identification of people with tuberculosis in communities and amongst populations who do not present to health facilities, through approaches such as door-to-door screening or contact tracing. ACF may improve access to tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment for the poor and for people remote from diagnostic and treatment facilities. As a result, ACF may also reduce onward transmission. However, there is a need to understand how these programmes are experienced by communities in order to design appropriate services. OBJECTIVES: To sy

[Cerebral hydatic cyst and psychiatric disorders. Two cases].

The hydatidosis is an endemic illness in regions of the Middle Orient, Mediterranean, south of America, north Africa and the Australia. The preferential localization of cyst hydatic is the liver (48%), the lung (36%) and in 6% of cases it localizes in unaccustomed place as the brain. Intracerebral localization is relatively rare, its impact is 1 to 5% of all cases of hydatidose. This localization is the child's appendage with a masculine predominance. The cyst hydatic intracranien is often lone, of localization usually supratentorielle, sometimes infratentorielle. Symptoms are especially the d

Diuretics for preventing and treating acute kidney injury.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-known complication of critical illnesses, significantly affecting morbidity and the risk of death. Diuretics are widely used to ameliorate excess fluid accumulation and oliguria associated with AKI. Their popularity stems from their ability to reduce the energy demands of renal tubular cells by inhibiting transporters and flushing out intratubular casts. Numerous studies have assessed the effects of diuretics in the context of AKI prevention and treatment. However, a comprehensive systematic review addressing this topic has yet to be conducted.

Средиземное питание и риск множественных склерозов: перспективное когортное исследование.

Несмотря на то, что, согласно сообщениям, присоединение к средиземноморскому рациону питания обратно связано с риском нейродегенеративного заболевания, нет уверенности в том, что эта схема рациона питания также позволит снизить риск множественных склерозов (МС). Мы проанализировали данные, полученные от 41,428 - участники шведского Национального марша Корта. Поступление в рацион питания оценивалось на базовом уровне в 1997 с использованием вопросника о частотности пищевых продуктов. Счёт средиземноморского диета был проанализирован в цифровом выражении (диапазон: 0-9) и категорично (низкий, ср

Питание пациентов с множественным склерозом, корреляция с качеством жизни и инвалидность - перспективное и квази-экспериментальное исследование.

Множественный склероз (MS) является многофакторным заболеванием, при этом питание и образ жизни играют важную роль в его развитии. Средиземноморское питание считается особенно полезным для пациентов с инфекциями. Цель настоящего исследования заключалась в изучении взаимосвязи между рационом питания и СУ, а также в оценке воздействия средиземноморского рациона питания на качество жизни и уровень инвалидности пациентов.

Advancing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in Africa: A Pathway to Curing Hematological Disorders.

BackgroundHematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a curative option for numerous hematological disorders, notably sickle cell disease and thalassemia, which are highly prevalent in Africa. Despite its potential, access to HSCT remains limited due to infrastructural, economic, and socio-cultural challenges across the continent.MethodsThis review synthesizes current literature and reports on the status of HSCT in Africa, analyzing data from existing transplant centers, national registries, and peer-reviewed studies to assess progress, challenges, and prospects for expanding HSCT se

Nebulised hypertonic saline solution for acute bronchiolitis in infants.

BACKGROUND: Airway oedema (swelling) and mucus plugging are the principal pathological features in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis. Nebulised hypertonic saline solution (≥ 3%) may reduce these pathological changes and decrease airway obstruction. This is an update of a review first published in 2008, and updated in 2010, 2013, and 2017. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of nebulised hypertonic (≥ 3%) saline solution in infants with acute bronchiolitis. SEARCH METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print, In-Pro

Influence of the Mediterranean Diet on Healthy Aging.

The life expectancy of the global population has increased. Aging is a natural physiological process that poses major challenges in an increasingly long-lived and frail population. Several molecular mechanisms are involved in aging. Likewise, the gut microbiota, which is influenced by environmental factors such as diet, plays a crucial role in the modulation of these mechanisms. The Mediterranean diet, as well as the components present in it, offer some proof of this. Achieving healthy aging should be focused on the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits that reduce the development of pathologi

Anticancer natural products from the Middle East and North Africa: biodiversity, mechanisms, and translational challenges.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing substantial clinical, societal, and economic burdens. Despite major advances in surgical oncology, systemic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, molecularly targeted therapeutics, and immune checkpoint inhibition, contemporary cancer treatment remains constrained by dose-limiting toxicities, intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneity, and the inexorable emergence of multifaceted drug resistance mechanisms. These persistent therapeutic challenges have reinstated interest in natural products (NPs) as evolutionar
