Article Synopsis
- Genital schistosomiasis (GS) is a neglected tropical disease affecting reproductive health, with limited awareness and knowledge among healthcare providers in Sub-Saharan Africa leading to underdiagnosis.
- A survey of 139 primary healthcare providers in Northern Nigeria revealed a mixed awareness of GS, with good knowledge of its causes and treatment but lower understanding of its complications; overall, 43.9% showed good awareness.
- The findings highlight the need for targeted educational programs to improve knowledge of GS among healthcare providers, especially in regions with lower awareness, to enhance early detection and management.
Clinicians frequently study arterial Doppler velocimetric waveforms depicted by Doppler sonography of the kidneys, the heart, the brain, and the feto-maternal circulation to assess the well-being of the aforementioned vital organs. The waveform interpretation of the Doppler indices can be studied using a mathematical model. The developed models serve as teaching tools and for easy comprehension of the regulatory mechanism of the organs.

Article Synopsis
- Sonography is an effective diagnostic imaging tool for patients with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) co-infection, allowing for the identification of various complications like enlarged lymph nodes and pleural effusion.
- An extensive literature review identified themes around the use of ultrasound in diagnosing extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) in resource-constrained settings, highlighting its rapid, cost-effective, and portable nature.
- Training sonographers in areas heavily affected by HIV/AIDS and TB to utilize focused assessments with sonography for HIV (FASH) can improve early diagnosis and treatment, contributing to global health goals of reducing HIV and TB epidemics.
Article Synopsis
- The computational model examines how energy and mass transfer occurs in a hybrid nanofluid made of copper and cobalt ferrite when influenced by a wavy spinning disk.
- The study formulates the flow using nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and simplifies them to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for analysis, which is validated through MATLAB software.
- Results indicate that the wavy surface of the disk improves energy transfer by up to 15% and enhances the solvent's characteristics, leading to better velocity and energy distribution.
The flow of nanofluid over a variable thickened stretching sheet is studied in this article. Non-Fourier's heat flux and non-Fick's mass flux are incorporated for heat and mass flow analysis. Silver (Ag) and Copper (Cu) are considered nanoparticles with water as base fluid.
