The most frequent type of leukemia in Africa is chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The genetic background of the rarer Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) Ph-ve (BCR-ABL-ve) subform of CML is largely unknown in African patients. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CYP1A1 and 2D6 SNPs in the pathogenesis of Ph-ve CML in the Sudanese population.

- Tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP), caused by HTLV-1, leads to chronic spinal cord inflammation primarily affecting lower limbs, but serious complications can arise in rare cases.
- A 73-year-old female with TSP presented with severe health issues, including acute respiratory failure, after suffering from sepsis due to recurrent urinary tract infections.
- The case highlights the need for more research on respiratory management in TSP patients, as complications like poor secretion clearance can significantly impact their health outcomes.
Diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by the diffuse proliferation of neuroendocrine cells in the bronchial epithelium. It is considered a preinvasive precursor to carcinoid tumors and usually presents with obstructive symptoms. We present the case of a 71-year-old female, non-smoker, with a past medical history of asthma, osteoarthritis, allergic rhinitis, and hyperlipidemia who was referred to the pulmonology clinic in view of incidental chest CT findings of multiple pulmonary nodules.

- - This case study focuses on a unique instance of hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) accompanied by low calcium levels (hypocalcemia) in an 18-year-old female with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- - It emphasizes the need for doctors to carefully evaluate and manage symptoms in ASD patients, particularly when they present with unusual conditions, as seen when the patient experienced a hyperventilation crisis during an emergency visit.
- - The report illustrates the connection between anxiety, HVS, and hypocalcemia, underscoring the importance of considering electrolyte imbalances in patients with ASD suffering from anxiety attacks, and highlights effective treatment strategies.
Regional perinatal mortality differences in Indonesia: Evidence from Indonesian demographic health survey.
Public Health Pract (Oxf)
June 2024
Aim: Perinatal mortality can be used as a reference to assess health status in a country. In Indonesia, none of previous studies specifically discuss the incidence of prenatal mortality by region. The objective of this study was to analyze perinatal mortality difference by region of Indonesia.
