Article Synopsis
- Central Sahel has seen an increase in rainfall since the 1990s, leading to extreme flood events, particularly highlighted by the unprecedented 2022 flood in the Lake Chad basin.
- Current climate change concerns may amplify the hydrological cycle, raising questions about the future frequency of such extreme events, with modeling indicating a return period for significant floods of 2 to 5 years.
- The study emphasizes the need for improved water management strategies in the Lake Chad region due to anticipated increases in river flow similar to levels seen in the wet period of the 1950s, compounded by inadequate infrastructure.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Symptoms of obstructed defecation (OD) and anatomical abnormalities of the posterior compartment are prevalent in urogynecological patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether perineal hypermobility is an independent predictor of OD, as is the case for rectocele, enterocele and rectal intussusception.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of 2447 women attending a tertiary urodynamic center between September 2011 and December 2016.
Purpose: To identify factors predicting success and analyze critically the status of microsurgical double-layer vasovasostomy using predictive models.
Methods: A cohort of 263 patients treated at our institution for vasectomy reversal between 1986 and 2010 was included in our study, and the literature was reviewed. Inclusion criteria were previous bilateral vasectomy and presence of at least two postoperative semen analyses; patients reporting pregnancy without a postoperative semen analysis were excluded.
Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) coinfection in the Health Area of León in the period of 1992 to 2000.
Patients, Material And Methods: The study included patients with HIV infection, residing for at least two years in the area, and attended at the Department of Internal Medicine of León Hospital. Sociodemographic information and risk behavior were recorded.
Background And Objective: Knowledge of the variables predicting detectable viral load in patients with highly active antiretroviral treatment.
Patients And Method: Observational and cross-sectional study in patients with antiretroviral treatment receiving two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and one protease inhibitor. Several sociodemographic and clinic variables were registered.
