Introduction: Lymphedema of the external genitalia is a rare condition characterized by swelling of the scrotal skin and subcutaneous tissue, resulting from a pathology in lymphatic drainage. Over time, the development of fibrosis leads to a considerable impairment in the patient's quality of life. While conservative management is generally the first-line approach, surgical cases may necessitate surgical intervention to achieve comprehensive and lasting improvements.

Monkeypox virus (MPV) is a rare zoonotic infection caused by an orthopoxvirus. The sudden outbreak of more than 3000 MPV infection from 50 countries has led the WHO to declare the infection as an "evolving threat of moderate public health concern". Here, we describe a case series of two cases of the MPV with a similar onset of cutaneous lesions in the genital area but with different progression in 35 and 41-year-old males respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • Global issues of food production and waste recycling can be addressed by recycling organic waste into crop amendments like vermicompost.
  • This study used earthworms (Eisenia fetida) to create vermicompost from six desert plant species mixed with farmyard manure (FYM) and found that P. cineraria vermicompost significantly enhanced maize growth and yield metrics.
  • Key results showed that the vermicompost from P. cineraria led to the highest plant height, yield, nutrient uptake, and photosynthetic efficiency, suggesting its effectiveness for improving maize crops.
