The sustainable agri-food system is an important sector recognized for promoting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals on food security, resource conservation and climate change mitigation. However, the increasing food loss and waste (FLW) along the supply chains has continued to hinder these goals. This study evaluates the trend of FLW research from 1975 to 2022 and how it promotes the achievement of resource and environmental sustainability in agri-food systems.

- Enset (Welw.) Cheesman is a vital plant for over 20% of Ethiopia's population, providing food and livelihood, with its fermentation resulting in a little-studied starchy food.
- A study analyzed the physicochemical and microbial changes in fermented enset from different varieties collected over 60 days, revealing significant relationships between fermentation time and various components like acidity and pH.
- The research identified key microbial communities during fermentation, particularly dominant phyla such as Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, and suggested that specific species likely influence the fermentation process.
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection that continues to pose a significant public health threat globally, including Nigeria. Here, we provided a review of dengue fever outbreaks in Nigeria from 1972 to 2023, examining the epidemiology, prevention strategies, challenges faced in combating the disease, and recommendations to mitigate its spread and transmission. We utilized scholarly databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar in writing this paper.

- The paper reviews the presence and stability of SARS-CoV-2 in the continuum of wastewater, source water, and drinking water, emphasizing the need for better understanding of its behavior.
- It discusses both the human-related factors and environmental processes that affect how SARS-CoV-2 circulates within this water continuum.
- Lastly, the paper outlines human health risks associated with exposure through various pathways and proposes strategies for risk mitigation, while also suggesting a research agenda aimed at preventing future outbreaks, particularly in low-income areas.
A patient in her early 20s presented with constant and progressive lower abdominal and back pain, mainly on the right side of the abdomen, purulent vaginal discharge and pyrexia. A radiological assessment revealed a possible tubo-ovarian abscess and the incidental diagnosis of ipsilateral renal agenesis. The patient was treated for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); however, after antibiotic administration and since the symptoms did not resolve, an abdominal MRI was requested, which revealed uterus didelphys with two cervices, an obstructed haemivagina and evidence of haematocolpos.
