The Development of Ebola Virus Outbreaks: A Review of Epidemiological Trends, Clinical Features, and Treatment Advances.

The Ebola virus, a filovirus that causes human Ebola virus disease (EVD), has caused multiple epidemics in the African continent for about 50 years. Wild animals were the source from which the virus was transmitted to humans, and it spread among people through direct contact. The majority of Ebola outbreaks occurred in African nations, particularly in Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda, and Gabon.

Safety and efficacy of dinutuximab in the treatment of neuroblastoma: A review.

Dinutuximab, which is a monoclonal antibody targeting GD2 expressed in neuroblasts, improves survival when included in the therapy regimen. This article reviews the importance of dinutuximab in managing neuroblastoma (NB). Dinutuximab targets high levels of GD2 expression in NB cells, thus increasing event-free survival when used in the maintenance therapy of high-risk patients with NB.

Efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in prevention of postpartum hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18,649 patients.

Background: In this meta-analysis, we aimed to update the clinical evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of TXA in the prevention of PPH.

Methods: A literature search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library from inception until December 2022 was conducted. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TXA with a placebo among pregnant women.

Medical and Surgical Management of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis: A Comprehensive Literature Review.

Carotid artery stenosis is a condition where the carotid artery is blocked by fatty cholesterol deposits called plaque, increasing the risk of stroke. Elderly individuals with high cardiovascular risk are more susceptible, along with smokers, those with high cholesterol, males, and older individuals. Young females may also be affected by fibromuscular dysplasia.

Budd-Chiari Syndrome following COVID-19 infection: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) is a rare disorder that affects the liver and is caused by blockage of the hepatic veins. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been linked to an increased risk of developing BCS due to its ability to cause inflammation in the body, which can lead to clotting disorders.

Case Presentation: A 43-year-old female presented to the emergency department complaining of severe epigastric and right upper quadrant pain and progressive abdominal distention.

Etiologies, Gross Appearance, Histopathological Patterns, Prognosis, and Best Treatments for Subtypes of Renal Carcinoma: An Educational Review.

Of all primary renal neoplasms, 80-85% are renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), which develop in the renal cortex. There are more than 10 histological and molecular subtypes of the disease, the most frequent of which is clear cell RCC, which also causes most cancer-related deaths. Other renal neoplasms, including urothelial carcinoma, Wilms' tumor, and renal sarcoma, each affect a particular age group and have specific gross and histological features.

Filler-Induced Interstitial Nephritis in a Male-to-Female Transgender Person: A Case Report.

Transgender individuals experience lower overall health outcomes than cisgender individuals due to a higher burden of chronic illnesses in this demographic. An early loss in renal function is frequently seen in acute interstitial nephritis (AIN), which is defined by the presence of inflammatory infiltrates and edema inside the interstitium. Infections or medication use can cause interstitial nephritis.

COVID-19 Vaccine: A Possible Trigger for Pyoderma Gangrenosum.

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon ulcerative auto-inflammatory dermatosis. Numerous studies suggest cutaneous side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Pyoderma gangrenosum has been reported as one of the rare side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.
