Background: Minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) offer superior outcomes compared to open surgery. This study aimed to review the robotic and laparoscopic procedures for CRC performed in Africa, and compare the mean surgery duration, blood loss, hospital stay, rate of conversion, and prevalence of morbidity and mortality. This is the first study to compare the outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic surgeries for CRC in Africa.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of probiotic bacteria (Pediococcus acidilactici BX-B122 and Bacillus coagulans BX-B118) on methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide, and fermentation profile of dietary Delonix regia seeds in ruminant. Ruminal contents from slaughtered rams and steers were used as inoculum for in vitro fermentation system. The total gas, methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide volume, as well as pH and dry matter degradability, were quantified in three fermentation cycles.

Wild animals host a wide variety of parasites, and the disorders caused by these parasites are among the most prevalent and significant infectious diseases affecting wildlife. The investigation of parasitic fauna is crucial for the conservation of wild animals, domestic populations, and humans. Therefore, the aim of the study was to survey endo- and ectoparasites in free-living wildlife in southern Brazil.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the global neurosurgery training workforce, focusing on the types of training programs, trainee support, diversity of experiences, and accreditation processes.
  • Data were collected from 187 countries and 25 territories, revealing an estimated 1,261 training programs and over 10,500 trainees, with significant variations in density based on country income levels and WHO regions.
  • High-income countries had a much higher density of trainees (0.48 per 100,000 people) compared to lower-income countries, which faced challenges like limited subspecialty training and resources.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the global distribution and growth of consultant neurosurgeons, especially in low- and middle-income countries, to understand the impact of efforts to expand access to neurosurgery worldwide.
  • A comprehensive electronic survey was conducted across 192 countries and 25 territories, revealing an estimated 72,967 neurosurgeons, with a global density of 0.93 per 100,000 people, and significant variation by income level.
  • Findings indicated that neurosurgeon density increases with national income level, highlighting the shortage in low-income areas, particularly in WHO African and Southeast Asia regions, while the Western Pacific region showed the highest density of neurosurgeons.
