Multistate cholera outbreak in Sudan amidst ongoing armed conflict, 2023-2024.

In 2023, Sudan was affected by a major cholera outbreak affected 10 states amidst armed conflict that severely disrupted the health services. This study aimed to describe the magnitude, pattern, and trend (2023-2024) of cholera outbreak in Sudan across different states. Cholera outbreak caused significant morbidity and mortality facilitated the armed conflict that hampered the response by damaging infrastructure, displacing people, and disrupting healthcare services.

Diagnostic importance of Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration in Diagnosing Hepatic Lesions among Sudanese Patients 2015.

Background: Liver cytology is indicated and requested for evaluating hepatic masses in symptomatic or serendipitous cryptic discovered lesions.

Objective: To determine the cytomorphological patterns of hepatic lesions identified among a group of Sudanese patients.

Materials And Methods: This is an analytical descriptive hospital-based study included 165 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided fine needle is an aspiration cytology (FNAC)for hepatic lesions, at Al-Amal Military Hospital and Khartoum Teaching Hospital in Khartoum, Sudan.

Investigation of polymorphisms in anti-inflammatory cytokine genes in hematogenous osteomyelitis.

Osteomyelitis is a progressive bone infection disease caused by destructive immunological inflammatory reactions following new bone formation. Anti-inflammatory cytokines are a series of immunoregulatory molecules that control the pro-inflammatory cytokine response. In this study, we investigated 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms in 5 different cytokine/cytokine receptor genes in hematogenous osteomyelitis (HO) patients, and compared their outcomes with normal healthy individuals.

Theoretical and experimental evidence of extinction and coexistence of killer and sensitive strains of yeast grown as a mixed culture in water.

Theoretical and experimental evidences of extinction and coexistence during batch interaction of killer and sensitive strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown as a mixed culture in pure water are provided. The experimental results show that in the limited nutrient conditions of growth in pure water, the killer yeast is subject to extinction when the initial concentration ratio of killer to sensitive yeast is 1:100. However, if the initial concentration ratio of killer to sensitive yeast is 1:1, both strains coexist.

Recovery of an oscillatory mode of batch yeast growth in water for a pure culture.

New experiments that we conducted show an oscillatory mode of batch yeast growth in water, for a pure culture of the T206 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The oscillations are damped over time, allowing the cell concentration to stabilize at the stationary equilibrium. A new proposed model that includes the complete cell growth dynamics is introduced and showed to recover the experimental oscillatory results.
