Preoperative mortality risk evaluation in abdominal surgical emergencies: development and internal validation of the NDAR score from a national multicenter audit in Senegal.

Introduction: Abdominal surgical emergencies have a high mortality rate. Effective management primarily relies on the early identification of patients at high risk of postoperative complications. The objective of our study was to determine the prognostic factors associated with poor outcomes from abdominal surgical emergencies in Senegal and to establish a predictive score for mortality for preoperative risk evaluation (NDAR (New Death Assessment Risk) score).

Changes in early HIV/AIDS mortality rates in people initiating antiretroviral treatment between 2013 and 2023: A 10-year multicenter survival study in Senegal.

Background: HIV/AIDS-related early mortality has long been a significant challenge. Subsequent to recent policy changes and treatment advancements, we aimed to assess changes in early mortality rates in 2017-19 and 2020-23 compared to 2013-16.

Methods: This is a 10-year multicenter survival study in people living with human immunodeficiency virus having initiated ART between 2013 and 2023.

Pure Bilateral Perilunate Dislocation of the Carpus: An Uncommon Case in a Military Parachutist during a Jumping Accident.

Introduction: Perilunate dislocations are uncommon injuries requiring high-energy trauma. They are responsible for serious lesions that can compromise the function of the limb. We report a case of pure bilateral perilunate dislocation in a parachutist while landing.

Effect of Behavior Change Communication on Self-Care Practices Among Adult Type-2 Diabetic Patients in a Semi-urban Community of South India: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is often termed the modern epidemic, and India ranks second after China in the global disease burden. Practice and adherence to essential self-care behaviors, positively correlated with good glycemic control and reduced complications in people with diabetes, have been inadequately understood, especially in a semi-urban setting.

Methods: This community-based interventional study was done among 269 known adult type 2 diabetic patients from a semi-urban community in South India for three months.
