In a mature newborn the symptoms of a disseminated HSV infection were evident at the 6th day of life. Later on bleeding occurred as a result of severe consumption coagulopathy. During treatment with Acyclovir the bleeding situation was controlled by fibrinogen replacement. The infant survived and is under normal psychologic and motorical development now. The treatment result is taken for the good virostatic efficacy of Acyclovir. It inhibits the DNA polymerases and therefore the DNA replication within the herpes viruses selectively. This high degree of selectivity is caused by its selective penetration into the infected cells, its faster transformation by the viral thymidine kinase as well as by its stronger affinity for HSV coded polymerase in detail. The diagnosis had been confirmed by detection of herpes viruses within the blister fluid and cerebrospinal fluid as well as by serological findings.

Background: Postoperative headache is a medical condition that has a strong association with future recurrence and chronic headache, higher morbidity and mortality, extended hospital stays, poor quality of life and high financial burden. Despite, having these consequences, there are limited studies in the study area.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the incidence and associated factors of postoperative headache among adult elective surgical patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital Northwest Ethiopia, April 9 to 20 June 2022.

Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprising the majority of cases. For advanced NSCLC, immunotherapy offers substantial survival benefits but is often accompanied by severe immune-related adverse events symptoms, significantly affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Routinely collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) followed by automated alerts has been shown to improve overall survival and HRQoL for cancers.

Introduction: Severe open lower limb fractures are complex and costly injuries. Studies reporting the costs associated with these injuries, the economic impact of complications, and the clinical benefit of adherence to national guidelines have been previously reported. However, the economic benefits of national guidelines and their relationship with length of inpatient stay have not been described.

The transportation industry contributes significantly to climate change through carbon dioxide ( ) emissions, intensifying global warming and leading to more frequent and severe weather phenomena such as flooding, drought, heat waves, glacier melting, and rising sea levels. This study proposes a comprehensive approach for predicting emissions from vehicles using deep learning techniques enhanced by eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods. Utilizing a dataset from the Canadian government's official open data portal, we explored the impact of various vehicle attributes on emissions.

Purpose: This meta-analysis aims to estimate the global prevalence of severe, moderate, overall malnutrition and moderating factors of malnutrition in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in Embase, CINAHL, Medline-OVID, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to February 8, 2024, without language, region, or publication date restrictions. A generalized linear mixed model and random-effects model were used to examine the pooled prevalence, and moderator analyses were implemented to investigate variations in the pooled prevalence.
