Department of Public Health, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Malaria poses a significant global public health challenge, especially in tropical regions. Saudi Arabia established the malaria elimination program decades ago, and implemented public health strategies to reduce malaria burden. Every year, Saudi Arabia welcomes millions of people worldwide, particularly from endemic countries, for work, religious activities, visits, and tourism.

MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The eradication efforts for Dracunculus medinensis, which causes Guinea worm disease, began at the CDC in 1980 and gained momentum after the World Health Assembly aimed for elimination in 1986 due to millions of cases worldwide.
- The Guinea Worm Eradication Program (GWEP), led by The Carter Center and supported by various organizations, works to assist affected countries in reducing cases, but faces challenges from new infections in animals and ongoing civil unrest.
- As of mid-2024, despite 14 human cases and hundreds of animal infections reported recently, Guinea worm disease remains endemic in five countries, although there is still hope for achieving zero cases in the near future.
Sex difference in mitral valve prolapse regurgitant volume is resolved by normalization of regurgitant volume to left ventricular end-diastolic volume.

Department of Cardiology, Regions Hospital, Chad House, 640 Jackson Street, Mail Stop 11102M, St. Paul, MN, 55101, USA.
Women with primary mitral insufficiency have a smaller regurgitant volume at the same regurgitant fraction than men. We hypothesized that normalizing regurgitant volume with left ventricular end-diastolic volume or allometric scaling would eliminate the difference in regurgitant volume between women and men. The study cohort consisted of 101 patients with mitral valve prolapse undergoing cardiac MRI.

COVID-19 vaccines have successfully reduced severe disease and death after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Nonetheless, COVID-19 vaccines are variably effective in preventing transmission and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here, we evaluated the impact of mucosal or intramuscular vaccine immunization on airborne infection and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Syrian hamsters.
