High Detection Rate of Rotavirus Infection Among Children Admitted with Acute Gastroenteritis to Six Public Hospitals in Luanda Province After the Introduction of Rotarix Vaccine: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Rotavirus group A (RVA) is a major cause of pediatric acute gastroenteritis (AGE). Vaccination is an effective public health strategy and Angola implemented it in 2014. This hospital-based study aimed to estimate the prevalence of RVA infection and the severity of AGE in children under five years of age treated at six hospitals in Luanda Province.

Obstetric Intensive Care Admissions and Neonatal Outcomes: 15 Years of Experience from a Single Center.

Maternal severe morbidity and mortality are measures for assessing maternal healthcare, and admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) can be used to study these metrics. Here, we analyze ICU admissions of pregnant or postpartum women in a tertiary hospital. This is a retrospective, single-center, observational cohort study of obstetric intensive care admissions at a Portuguese hospital spanning 15 years.

Ellagic Acid Potentiates the Inhibitory Effects of Fluconazole Against .

: Antifungal resistance to azoles, coupled with the increasing prevalence of infections, represents a significant public health challenge and has driven the search for new natural compounds that can act as alternatives or adjuvants to the current antifungals. Ellagic acid (EA) has demonstrated antifungal activity; however, its effects are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the in vitro anti- activity of EA and its ability to potentiate the effects of fluconazole (FLZ) on : The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of EA was determined by broth microdilution and its interaction with FLZ was assessed using a checkerboard assay.

Anomalous Left Coronary Artery Originating From the Right Coronary Sinus With a Septal Curse in a Patient With Myocardial Infarction Due to Right Coronary Lesion: Innocent Until Proven Otherwise.

Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are rare and challenging, with increased diagnoses due to advanced cardiovascular imaging, even in low-income countries where diagnostic and therapeutic approaches can be difficult. This case report details a 65-year-old Black male patient with a history of hypertension and smoking who presented with a myocardial infarction. Despite no significant abnormalities apart from the infarction, invasive coronary angiography revealed a dominant right coronary artery (RCA) and an anomalous left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the right coronary sinus, bifurcating into the left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery.
