Risk Factors of Anxiety among Hemodialyzed Patients in Ténès, Algeria: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aimed to evaluate the level of anxiety and its risk factors among patients undergoing hemodialysis in the Ténès area, Chlef Province, Algeria. The survey was conducted on 45 hemodialyzed patients at the public hospital of Ténès (Ahmed Bourass). Sociodemographic data were collected using a questionnaire, and anxiety was diagnosed by the hospital anxiety and depression scale.

Whole Genome Sequencing and Molecular Epidemiology of Clinical Isolates of from Algeria.

is an important pathogen responsible for various healthcare- and community-acquired infections. In this study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to genotype clinical isolates from two hospitals in Algeria and to characterize their genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance. Seventeen isolates were included in this study.

Bayesian spatio-temporal analysis of the incidence of lung cancer in the North West of Algeria, 2014-2020.

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide. This study assessed the spatio-temporal variations of the incidence rate of lung cancer between 2014 and 2020 in Chlef, a province in the North West of Algeria. Case data recoded by municipality, sex and age were collected from the oncology department in a local hospital.

Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Clostridioides difficile isolates in Algerian hospitals.

Introduction: Clostridioides difficile is a major pathogen responsible for hospital-associated diarrhoea. This study investigated the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of C. difficile isolates in five Algerian hospitals.

Modeling tuberculosis dynamics, detection and control in cattle herds.

Epidemiological models are key tools for designing and evaluating detection and control strategies against animal infectious diseases. In France, after decades of decrease of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) incidence, the disease keeps circulating. Increasing prevalence levels are observed in several areas, where the detection and control strategy could be adapted.
