Background: Dengue fever (DF) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that has recently become a burden worldwide, particularly in low-income countries, such as Yemen. There have been no epidemiological studies on DF in recent years in Yemen. Therefore, based on secondary data, this study aimed to shed light on the epidemiology of DF in Yemen between 2020 and 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence and antifungal resistance of opportunistic yeast infections, specifically among pregnant women in Hajjah governorate, Yemen, finding a high prevalence rate of 61.4%.
- Most cases were linked to certain factors, like age (71.9% in women aged 24-30), education level, trimester, and pregnancy history.
- Significant resistance to common antifungal medications, including clotrimazole and itraconazole, was observed, highlighting the need for health education on vaginitis and tailored antifungal treatments.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly contagious and causes a series of health problems, particularly in Yemen, which has a fragile healthcare system and cannot handle public health emergencies.
Aims: This analysis aimed to determine the epidemiological status of COVID-19 in the Taiz governorate between April 2020 and December 2023.
Methods: A retrospective study based on surveillance data from the Taiz governorate was used.
Introduction: Distal arterial embolisation and subsequent aneurysm formation are rare occurrences and most are secondary to trauma. We have found no case reports that describe posterior tibial aneurysm formation secondary to bacterial endocarditis.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 47-year-old Caucasian man who, 2 years after an episode of subacute bacterial endocarditis, presented with signs and symptoms consistent with posterior tibial aneurysm formation.
Purpose: To compare endovascular (EVR) to open repair (OR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) for cytokine activation, changes in the intestinal mucosal barrier, and renal dysfunction.
Methods: In a prospective nonrandomized study, 15 patients admitted to a university hospital for elective infrarenal AAA repair (8 OR and 7 EVR) were recruited. Intestinal permeability was assessed preoperatively (PO), at day 1 (D1), and at day 3 (D3) after surgery using the lactulose/mannitol differential excretion (LMR) test.
