Introduction: Breast cancer is a major public health concern worldwide and the most prevalent form of cancer in Morocco. This study aimed to describe the histological and immunohistochemical profiles of breast cancer in women admitted to Cheikh Khalifa Hospital in Casablanca, Morocco.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the prevalence of arboviruses in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting their ongoing public health threat and the importance of seroprevalence surveys for informing interventions in the absence of vaccines and treatments.
- - A comprehensive analysis reviewed 165 studies involving over 186,000 participants across 27 countries from 2000 to 2022, revealing varied seroprevalence rates for several arboviruses, with Chikungunya and dengue showing the highest rates at 23.7% and 22.7%, respectively.
- - The findings indicate considerable differences in seroprevalence based on factors like country, population demographics, age groups, and laboratory techniques, emphasizing the need for tailored public
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of orthoebolavirus antibodies in Madina Oula, a non-epidemic rural area in Guinea, in 2022.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 14 to April 3, 2022 involving recording household and socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle data, and collecting dried blood spots from 878 individuals in 235 households. Dried blood spots were tested using multiplex serology to detect antibodies to different orthoebolaviruses: Ebola virus, Bundibugyo virus, Sudan virus, Reston virus, and Bombali virus.
Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the high mortality rates in rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients undergoing a short treatment regimen in Conakry, revealing that 18.9% of 869 patients died during treatment.
- Significant predictors of death include age (≥ 55 years), certain treatment centers, lack of prior TB treatment, and co-infection with HIV.
- The findings suggest that national TB programs should reassess their strategies for treating RR-TB and emphasize conducting more extensive studies to better understand the impact of these risk factors on patient survival.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Morocco after cardiovascular diseases. Changes associated with societal and economic development, longevity of the population, and lifestyle changes contribute to increasing the burden of cancer in the Morocco. Despite the advances and achievements in cancer care in Morocco, more efforts are needed to better treat, control, and prevent cancer in Morocco.
