As climate changes in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Africa's "forgotten" food crops offer a wide range of options to diversify major staple production as a key measure toward achieving zero hunger and healthy diets. So far, however, these forgotten food crops have been neglected in SSA's climate-change adaptation strategies. Here, we quantified their capacity to adapt cropping systems of SSA's major staples of maize, rice, cassava, and yams to changing climates for the four subregions of West, Central, East, and Southern Africa.

Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Klinik Gut, Via Arona 34, 7500, St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Purpose: There has been a renewed interest in the repair of the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic ACL repair with additional suture augmentation (SA), hypothesizing that isolated ACL ruptures would yield superior patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) compared to those with concomitant meniscal and/or ligamentous injuries.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 93 consecutive patients (67 female, median age 42 years) who underwent arthroscopic ACL repair with SA between January 2017 and March 2019 for an acute traumatic ACL tear confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Clinical profile of patients presenting with thiamine-responsive upper-gastrointestinal upset: A pointer toward gastric beriberi.

Department of Clinical Research, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India.
Objectives: Although beriberi is considered a forgotten disease in the West, Kashmir has a rice-eating population that has beriberi in endemic proportions. Patients with a thiamine deficiency (TD) occasionally present with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including nausea, recurrent vomiting, loss of appetite, and abdominal discomfort. Together these often respond to thiamine, which points to gastric beriberi.
