Investigating the association between various platelet indices and different clinical sub-groups of severe malaria.

Aim: To evaluate the ability of platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and platelet mass index to predict the severity of malaria.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted as a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital in Somali. Patients grouped as severe and non-severe malaria.

Terror-related injuries in Somalia: a retrospective cohort of 2426 hospitalized cases along 7 years.

Terrorism-related injuries and deaths have become a major threat to the Somalian population, as in the rest of the world. We aimed to characterize and compare firearm and explosion injuries caused by terrorist acts. This retrospective study reviewed the data of all patients injured by explosions and firearm attacks over seven years.

Evaluation, management, and analysis of demographic and radiological characteristics of patients with renal colic at a tertiary hospital in Somalia.

Background: Renal colic is a common emergency centre (EC) complaint worldwide, but its epidemiology and strategies for evaluation and treatment have been little reported in Africa. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study aimed at evaluating the radiological investigations, management, and analysis of demographic characteristics of patients with urinary system stones who visited the EC.

Method: A 3-year retrospective study of a total of 435 patients with acute renal colic who underwent radiologic investigations was included in this study.

Analysis of the demographic characteristics and clinical profile of acute ischemic strokes admitted to the emergency centre in the Somalia population.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and chronic disability worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which includes Somalia, stroke represents a significant part of the chronic disease burden. However, there is relatively little data on risk factors, demographics, and clinical profiles.

COVID-19: A Cause of HELLP Syndrome? A Case Report.

Purpose: There are still many unexplained points about how COVID-19 affects pregnant women and what kind of clinical and laboratory findings it reveals. These findings can become clinical conun drums when there is significant overlap with known and serious syndromes in pregnancy. The aim of this study is to report a case with a laboratory-proven diagnosis of COVID-19 and HELLP syndrome hypothesis.

Hepatitis A Seroprevalence in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Since Somalia is regarded as highly endemic for hepatitis A, the hepatitis A vaccine was not included in the World Health Organization's expanded immunization program. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatitis A infection in the Somalia capital, Mogadishu.

Epidemiological Characteristics and Predisposing Factors for Surgical Site Infections Caused by Bacterial Pathogens Exhibiting Multidrug-Resistant Patterns.

Background: Surgical site infection is the most common kind of nosocomial infection in developed and developing countries.

Objectives: Our aim was to identify the prevalence of factors predisposing to multidrug resistance and the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of pathogens.

Method: This retrospective study enrolled 10,878 patients who underwent operations in 2018-2020.
