Unexplained fever poses significant diagnostic challenges in resource-limited settings like Bamako, Mali, where overlapping endemic diseases include malaria, HIV/AIDS, yellow fever, typhoid, and others. This study aimed to elucidate the infectious etiologies of acute febrile illnesses in this context. Acute febrile patients of any age were enrolled after informed consent or assent.

- The study highlights the need for genetic counseling in cases of male breast cancer, suggesting that its occurrence should be systematically investigated.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of male breast cancer cases diagnosed between January 2007 and September 2021, examining both histopathological and molecular variables.
- Out of 8 cases, most patients were around 50 years old, with a predominance of infiltrative non-specific carcinoma and notable occurrence of luminal A and triple-negative subtypes.
Cervical cancer (CC) remains a real public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, where technical resources and competent personnel are insufficient. Persistent cervix infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (Hr-HPV) is the main cause of CC development. In the current study, we examined the distribution of Hr-HPV in the general healthy Malian population using cervicovaginal self- sampling.

- The study aimed to explore the relationship between weather variables and various pathogens linked to infectious conjunctivitis globally.
- Researchers analyzed data from 498 cases across 8 countries, correlating pathogen types with weather data, particularly looking at temperature, precipitation, and humidity.
- Findings indicated that higher humidity and precipitation increased the likelihood of RNA virus and fungal infections while decreasing the odds of DNA virus and bacterial infections, highlighting the complex influence of weather on conjunctivitis-related pathogens.
