Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Older Adults and Alzheimer's Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global health concern, and its prevalence among older adults and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is gaining attention. Understanding the extent of antibiotic resistance in these populations is critical for designing targeted interventions.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in older adults and AD patients with a focus on quantitative studies in order to provide comprehensive insights into the current landscape.

Cholera outbreak in Syria amid humanitarian crisis: the epidemic threat, future health implications, and response strategy - a review.

The war in Syria, which started over 11 years ago, has devastated the country's water sources, healthcare system, and other vital facilities for healthy living. The country is vulnerable to outbreaks, especially epidemic-prone ones like cholera, due to its fragile health system. Syria experienced its last hit of cholera in 2009, which led to the deaths of several Syrian children and affected about 1,000 people.

Seasonal Variation and Geographical Distribution of COVID-19 across Nigeria (March 2020-July 2021).

Globally, the novel corona virus infection has continued to witness a growing number of cases since December 2019 when the outbreak was discovered and noted in China. Despite this has not been well studied for the case of COVID-19, human contact, public moveableness and environmental variables could have an impact onairborne'spropagation and virus continuance, such as influenza virus. This study aimed to determine the seasonal variation and geographical distribution of COVID-19 across Nigeria.

Investigation of DDT resistance mechanisms in Anopheles funestus populations from northern and southern Benin reveals a key role of the GSTe2 gene.

Background: Understanding the molecular basis of insecticide resistance in mosquito, such as Anopheles funestus, is an important step in developing strategies to mitigate the resistance problem. This study aims to assess the role of the GSTe2 gene in DDT resistance and determine the genetic diversity of this gene in An. funestus.

Leptospirosis: clinical presentation and correlation with serovars.

A total of 2400 patients with pyrexia of unknown origin and or suspected leptospirosis were included in this study. Dark field microscopy detected Leptospira in 690 cases, Leptospira serological Investigations proved positive in 570 out of these 690 patients. Among them 212 had the classical icteric and the other 358 had anicteric type of presentation.
