Objectives: The objectives of this review and meta-analysis were twofold: first, to determine the prevalence of substance use among school-going children in Arab and African countries; and second, to highlight the considerable influence of variables such as the nation's region and the timeframe of the study on the prevalence of substance use.
Methods: Research was sourced from Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and PubMed. Thirty-seven articles were incorporated in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- * The research analyzed data from 15 CDQ assessments across 12 countries over 16 years, discovering that comprehensive PPs correlate positively with better HRQoL, while policies focused solely on gluten-free meals aren't as effective on their own.
- * The study emphasizes the need for enhanced patient education and effective regulation monitoring to support CD patients and improve their overall well-being.
Article Synopsis
- In Morocco, cervical cancer screening rates are low, highlighting the necessity for new screening strategies, such as vaginal self-sampling for HPV testing.
- A pilot study surveyed 400 Moroccan women aged 25 to 65, finding that 95% were willing to undergo vaginal self-sampling, with 73.6% preferring to do it at home.
- Factors influencing preferences included beliefs about screening necessity, age, marital status, and perceived severity of cervical cancer, suggesting self-sampling could enhance screening accessibility in Morocco.*
Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 can trigger an immune response called a cytokine storm, which this study investigates by looking at 27 protein biomarkers in patient serum to understand their relationship with disease severity.
- The study involved 89 COVID-19 patients at various severity levels and 14 healthy individuals, using a Luminex assay to measure cytokine and chemokine levels.
- Findings show that certain interleukins (like IL-6 and IL-10) are elevated in more severe cases, while others (like IL-12 and IL-2) are absent in asymptomatic patients, reinforcing the link between high cytokine levels and disease progression.
Background: The rising prevalence of gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease explains the increased consumption of gluten-free foods (GFF). However, these foods must be safe in terms of both gluten content and contamination by pathogenic microorganisms in order to avoid food poisoning.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the microbiological quality of gluten-free meals, naturally gluten free foods, and gluten free-labelled products.
