Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major public health challenge globally, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where it is identified as the second most prevalent form of cancer. Despite advancements in management strategies, tailored guidelines specific to the Gulf region are lacking. This paper presents consensus recommendations developed by a panel of experts from the GCC countries to address this gap.

Increasing antimicrobial resistance patterns worldwide have limited the treatment options available. Overuse of carbapenems which were considered as the last resort for multi-drug resistant UTIs over the past decade has led to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE).

Background: Despite the increasing substance use in Canada, our understanding of how substance use varies based on the intersections of gender, ethnicity/race, and income sources among preclinical populations remains limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate, among clients of mental health and addiction (MHA) intake in Nova Scotia: 1) the prevalence of substance use by gender, ethnicity, and income source; 2) the routes of substance administration; 3) factors associated with substance use. Understanding how gender, ethnicity, and income sources intersect to influence substance use patterns is essential for designing prevention and treatment strategies tailored to an individual's unique needs.

This investigation aimed to examine the virulence genes and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) strains found in diarrheal calves in Xinjiang between 2016 and 2022. A total of 800 samples, including 232 fecal and 568 rectal swabs from calves under 2 months old with diarrhea, were analyzed for Shiga toxin (Stx)-encoding genes using polymerase chain reaction. The study characterized the isolates based on their subtypes, virulence genes, O serogroups, phylogenetic groups, hemolytic phenotypes, antibiotic resistance, and resistance genes.
