Article Synopsis
- Fibroma ossificans are generally well-defined but not often encapsulated tumors, presenting challenges for treatment choices in maxillofacial surgery.
- A case involving a 17-year-old woman with a 6-year-old mandibular swelling revealed a benign tumor, confirmed by imaging and histological examination, leading to successful surgical resection and reconstruction.
- The report highlights the importance of considering clinical and radiological features in managing ossifying fibroids, as treatment can be invasive.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of strong surveillance systems in detecting and responding to public health threats. We sought to evaluate attributes of Keur Massar district's existing COVID-19 surveillance system.
Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2022; desk review covered data collected from March 03, 2020 to May 31, 2022 in 18 health posts.
Background: People with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have varied needs while they seek treatment. Understanding and focusing on the needs will improve treatment outcomes. The objective of the study is to qualitatively assess the treatment-related needs of patients with AUDs admitted to a tertiary care treatment center.

- * A study conducted in Senegal analyzed the genetic diversity of PfCyRPA in 95 malaria isolates, finding a mostly common wild type allele, with 15 identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), mostly appearing as unique changes.
- * Structure-based modeling showed that while most SNPs have minor effects on PfCyRPA antibodies, some may significantly affect its structure or interaction with the viral protein PfRH5, providing insights for future malaria vaccine design.
Background: Measuring malaria transmission intensity using the traditional entomological inoculation rate is difficult. Antibody responses to mosquito salivary proteins like SG6 have been used as biomarkers of exposure to Anopheles mosquito bites. Here, we investigate four mosquito salivary proteins as potential biomarkers of human exposure to mosquitoes infected with P.
