Knowledge, attitude, and practice of asthma among the adults in Shendi locality, Sudan: A cross-sectional study.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition leading to intermittent airway narrowing and obstruction. Although millions suffer from asthma globally, there is limited data from African countries, particularly Sudan. This study addresses the gap in research on asthma knowledge, attitudes, and practices among the adults in Shendi locality, Northern Sudan.

An atypical encounter: Mounir-Kuhn syndrome and aspergilloma coexistence: A case report.

We report a coexistence of Mounir-Kuhn syndrome and aspergilloma in a 69-year-old male presented with hemoptysis, cough, shortness of breath and fever. This patient has a history of recurrent hospital admissions for infective exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diagnostic imaging revealed the presence of aspergilloma and marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, leading to a diagnosis of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome.

Surgical Intervention in Pediatric Orbital Hemangioma: A Case Report.

Infantile hemangiomas are common vascular tumors in infancy, typically affecting the skin. However, intraconal orbital hemangiomas are rare and present diagnostic challenges due to their impact on critical structures within the orbit. We present the case of a 1-year-old male with progressive orbital swelling and proptosis.

TEM Classification of Aortic Dissection-The Evolving Scoring System: A Literature Review.

Aortic dissection is an acute presentation that, if unnoticed, poses a significant risk to life. Anatomically, it is defined as a tear in the intimal layer of the aorta, but management differs significantly based on the location of this tear. Traditionally the Stanford and DeBakey classifications have been used to distinguish tear types and thus guide the most favourable management option, be it medical optimisation or surgery.

A systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of the Baska mask versus other laryngeal mask airways during general anaesthesia.
