Bacteriological Agents and Resistance Profiles in Neonatal Sepsis from a Poorly Regulated Antimicrobial Access Setting: Time for Action.

Background: Neonatal sepsis (NNS) is a known cause of morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. The global resistance scourge may worsen the management outcomes of NNS. This study aims to determine the current profile of bacteriological agents of NNS, their resistance status and associated mortality in our setting.

Plasmodium ovale: Exploring an Atypical Presentation.

Malaria is an infection caused by five different Plasmodium species. The most common are is more rarely reported and mostly has a benign course. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with a six-day history of headaches, chills, and fever who was initially evaluated in our emergency room, from where he was discharged after a negative workup for malaria.

Exploring the impact of exercise on women with ovarian cancer: A call for more methodologically standardized RCTs to enable a realistic systematic review.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among gynecological malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to nonspecific symptoms and limited screening tools. Standard treatment, including cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy, can cause fatigue, physical dysfunction, and psychological distress, impacting quality of life. Exercise interventions have shown potential to mitigate these effects, but inconsistent methodologies in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) limit reliable conclusions and clinical integration.

Monte Carlo study of organ doses and related secondary cancer risk estimations for patients undergoing prostate radiotherapy: Algerian population-based study.

The present study aimed to assess organ doses and the associated cancer risks related to secondary radiation (photons and neutrons) exposure during 3D Conformational Radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for patients with prostate cancer in Algeria. To this purpose, a detailed geometric Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of the LINAC, combined with a hybrid whole-body phantom was carried out. The secondary radiation doses were calculated in patient's organs, both within and outside the field.
