The National Burden of Influenza-Associated Respiratory Illness Across Levels of Severity in Egypt, 2016-2019.
Influenza Other Respir Viruses
December 2024
Introduction: Influenza burden (IB) estimates are crucial for monitoring disease trends, allocating limited resources, and promoting influenza vaccination. However, IB in Egypt is poorly understood. This study estimates the mean-seasonal IB in Egypt, across levels of severity by age and regions using sentinel surveillance data between 2016 and 2019.

However, emerging evidence has contradicted this, and SLNB omission has been found to be non-inferior in selected low-risk breast cancers. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the incidence of SLNB in screen-detected invasive breast cancer.

Heliyon
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates Schiff base derivatives as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in a 15% HCl solution, achieving up to 94.6% inhibition efficiency.
- HDMZ was particularly effective, functioning as a mixed-type inhibitor and forming a protective layer on the steel surface as shown by electrochemical tests and SEM analysis.
- The research highlights the dual adsorption mechanism and the potential for developing advanced corrosion inhibitors through synergistic molecular interactions, paving the way for future industrial applications.
Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that physical activity can help prevent mental illness in youth, but its impact on mental healthcare use hasn't been thoroughly studied.
- This study analyzed data from Canadian adolescents and young adults (ages 12-24) between 2001 and 2014 to examine the relationship between their physical activity levels and psychiatric hospitalizations.
- Results showed that those who were moderately active or inactive had higher rates of hospitalizations for mood or anxiety disorders, suggesting that promoting physical activity could be crucial for mental health outcomes in this age group.
Background: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) affects up to 50% of males and 40% of females by the age of 50. It is the result of progressive, patterned hair loss that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals having hypersensitive androgen receptors in hair follicles. Due to the variable efficacy and adverse effect profile of FDA-approved drugs, newer and alternative modalities need to be utilized.
