Background: Adolescents worldwide engage in sexual activity, with the proportion rising gradually from the middle to late stages of adolescence. The incidence of early sexual initiation among female youth in sub-Saharan Africa is reported to be 46%. The increasing number of teenage pregnancies in Rwanda indicates that adolescents do not correctly use sexual and reproductive health services.

Introduction: Opioid withdrawal is a regular occurrence for many people who use illicit opioids (PWUIO) involving acute physical and psychological pain. Yet, there is very little data on the withdrawal experience of people in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and almost none from the patients' experience. Learning more about patients' withdrawal experiences can help to inform policies and practices that are better suited to address withdrawal and may improve patient satisfaction as well as uptake and retention.

Article Synopsis
- Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disorder where the body's antibodies stimulate the TSH receptor, causing excessive thyroid hormone production.
- Diagnosis typically involves assessing symptoms and a thyroid panel, with specific tests for TSH Receptor Antibodies (TRAbs) aiding in diagnosis and management strategies.
- Recent guidelines from experienced endocrinologists emphasize the importance of TRAbs in GD management to improve effectiveness and decision-making for healthcare providers, particularly in South Asia.
Comparative 3D finite element analysis of intramedullary fixation versus locking plate fixation in calcaneal fractures using micro-CT image technology.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Jiangwan Hospital of Shanghai Hongkou District, 1878 Sichuan North Road Hongkou District, Shanghai, 200434, People's Republic of China.
Objective: Calcaneal fracture fixation remains a challenging procedure in orthopedics, with computational tools increasingly aiding in the optimization of preoperative planning. To compare the biomechanical stability of intramedullary fixation and locking plate fixation for Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures by three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical application.
Methods: The Computed Tomography (CT) images were segmented using Mimics software (Materialise NV, Belgium) to identify the region of interest based on threshold segmentation.

Genetic Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Consanguineous marriage is a major contributing factor for many genetic diseases and a burden to the healthcare system and national economy due to costly long-term care. Earlier studies highlighted the significantly limited awareness of the higher prevalence of genetic disease due to consanguinity even among the educated Arabs. In Saudi Arabia, more than 50% of marriages are between first cousins.
