Anatomical Variations in Morphometric Measurements of the Coracoid Process in a Cross Section of the Sudanese Population: Evaluation Using Chest Computed Tomography.

Introduction The coracoid process is integral to the functionality of the scapula, serving as a crucial attachment point for several muscles involved in shoulder movement and stability. In pathologies and fractures of the coracoid process, understanding the morphometric variations is essential for devising optimal surgical strategies. Given the substantial lack of relevant data, this study aimed to analyze the morphometric variations in the dimensions of the coracoid process among the Sudanese population and evaluate the differences in the measurements in relation to gender.

Epidemiological Patterns, Treatment Response, and Metabolic Correlations of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A US-Based Study From 1990 to 2024.

Introduction: Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) presents an increasing health burden with changing demographic patterns. We studied nationwide trends in IIH epidemiology, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes using a large-scale database analysis within the United States (US).

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis using the TriNetX US Collaborative Network database (1990-2024).

Breast-Related Herniation: A Call for Multidisciplinary Awareness and a Proposal for a Classification.

Breast-related herniation (BRH) is a vague term for many clinicians. The absence of a universal nomenclature and the different nature of the herniation process involved, being true or false, contribute to this vagueness. BRH includes a spectrum of disorders ranging from a few congenital breast disorders to commoner herniation processes related to acquired breast diseases.

A combined therapy of Meropenem-ZnO-nanoparticles efficiently eliminates carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) biofilms, with reduced nephrotoxicity (in vitro).

In response to the World Health Organization's (WHO) research agenda of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health, this study appraised the antibacterial and antibiofilm synergistic activity of meropenem and ZnO-NPs combination against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of meropenem in combination was found to be approximately 1/12 of its MIC alone. The results of microtiter dilution assay showed that the combination was more efficient in reducing the biofilm biomass than meropenem alone or ZnO-NPs alone.

Sustainable, Green, and Sensitive Spectrofluorimetric Approach for Pizotifen Maleate Detection in Tablets and Human Plasma via Photo-Induced Electron Transfer Inhibition.

Pizotifen maleate (PZM) is an anti-migraine drug. Effective treatment requires accurate measurement of PZM levels in patients and constant medication concentrations in tablets. This paper presents a new spectrofluorimetric approach for detecting PZM in tablets and human blood plasma (spiked with PZM).
