Knowledge, attitude, and practice towards dengue fever among medical students in Sudan: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Dengue fever, a neglected tropical disease, exhibits a total seroprevalence of 27% in Sudan. During the recent outbreak, medical students actively participated in health education and community outreach programs. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of medical students regarding Dengue Fever (DF) during its current outbreak in Sudan.

Anxiety and depression symptoms among a sample of Khartoum civilians during the 2023 Sudan armed conflict: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Mental health during armed conflicts is of paramount importance, as such situations often lead to increased risks of anxiety and depression symptoms among civilians. The military conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces, which began on April 15, 2023, is currently ongoing mainly in Khartoum State. Despite the significant impact of the conflict on the region, there is a lack of data regarding the mental health status of the residents.

Breast cancer burden in eastern Sudan: seven-year retrospective study.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is prevalent in Sudan, yet data on its epidemiology in Eastern Sudan is limited. This study aims to provide insights into the demographic and clinicopathologic features of BC patients treated at the East Oncology Centre (EOC) in Gadarif State, Eastern Sudan. Furthermore, we aim to identify the factors that contribute to a late-stage diagnosis.

Daptomycin-Associated Diarrhea: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) describes any unexplained diarrhea associated with the use of antibiotics. AAD develops through diverse mechanisms, ranging from pharmacologic effects on gut motility to disturbance of the function and carbohydrate metabolism of the indigenous intestinal flora and overgrowth by pathogenic micro-organisms. Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) is a subset of AAD; however, it accounts only for a small percentage of diarrhea caused by antibiotics.

Omental Fat Torsion: A Rare Mimicker of a Common Condition.

Acute abdomen is a common emergency condition affecting young adults, and the first consideration is usually aimed to rule out acute appendicitis in this age group. Omental fat torsion has emerged as one of the rare etiologies of acute abdomen in the younger population. It warrants serious consideration as it closely mimics acute appendicitis in its clinical presentation.

Recurrent renal abscess complicating infection in an immunocompetent young female patient: A case report and review of literature.

is second only to as the most frequent causative organism of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) among the sexually active female population. However, it is considered a rare cause of complicated UTIs in immunocompetent hosts with no identifiable risk factors for the occurrence of a complicated urinary tract infection. We report an exceedingly rare case of a 20-year-old otherwise healthy female patient, with no identifiable risk factors for complicated UTIs, who presented with a recurrent renal abscess secondary to .

A Unique Case of Severe Hematochezia: Ruptured Pseudoaneurysm of the Superior Rectal Artery.

Visceral artery aneurysms are rare, with an incidence of 0.01%-2% based on autopsy results. Among the visceral arteries, inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms are the rarest.

Prevalence, Length of Stay, and Hospitalization of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With and Without Sjogren's Syndrome.

Background: Literature on the outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) in Sjogren's syndrome (SJS) is quite scanty. Acute kidney injury has emerged as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective: To examine the outcome of AKI with and without SJS.

Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma Presenting as a Pineal Gland Mass With Obstructive Hydrocephalus.

Adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent type of non-small cell carcinoma of the lungs. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma often present with cough, dyspnea, pain, and weight loss. They can also present with signs and symptoms of brain metastasis because the lungs are one of the most common origins of metastatic brain cancer.

The Impact of Hospital Teaching Status on Colonoscopy Perforation Risk: A National Inpatient Sample Study.

Background: Colonoscopy has been widely used as a diagnostic tool for many conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy complications include perforation, hemorrhage, abdominal pain, as well as anesthesia risk. Although rare, perforation is the most dangerous complication that occurs in the immediate post-colonoscopy period with an estimated risk of less than 0.

Prosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis in a Patient With Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome due to .

Various causative organisms and predisposing factors were implicated in the pathogenic process behind prosthetic valve endocarditis. , a classic constituent of probiotics, rarely causes infections in humans and was reported only in few case reports. The use of probiotics was hypothesized to be a risk factor for these infections; however, no causative relationship could be drawn.

Acute Retroviral Syndrome Presenting as Acute Hepatitis.

Acute retroviral syndrome (ARS) can present as a wide array of clinical manifestations. Establishing a diagnosis early in the disease course can provide an opportunity to minimize immunosuppression and limit further transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We present a case of a previously healthy young male who presented with acute hepatitis, as a manifestation of ARS.
