Prevalence of iron overload in patients with chronic kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis: A scoping review.

Background And Aims: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) are susceptible to complications, including iron overload, which can significantly impact their prognosis and overall health. This scoping review aimed to study the prevalence and implications of iron overload in CKD patients undergoing PD.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across five databases, leading to the selection of 18 papers for in-depth analysis.

Monkeypox infection and pregnancy in lower and middle-income countries: Precautions & recommendations.

Monkeypox (MPX), an orthopoxviral disease endemic in Africa, is now a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) as declared by the World Health Organization in July 2023. Although it is generally mild, the overall case fatality rate was reported to be 3%, and the basic reproduction number (R0) is > 1 in men who have sex with men (MSM, i.e.

Intra-biliary hydatid cyst rupture: A rare case report with superinfection.

Key Clinical Message: Hydatid cysts, primarily found in the liver (70%), are caused by parasitic infections and can lead to severe complications such as cyst rupture. This case report describes a unique instance of a hydatid liver cyst occupying the right lobe with a communicating part with the biliary tree that ruptured showing a concurrent superinfection.

Abstract: Hydatid cysts are a clinical pathology resulting from parasitic infections.

Multiscale tribology analysis of MHD hybrid nanofluid flow over a curved stretching surface.

In this study, we investigate the interactions of a hybrid nanofluid on a curved surface that is being stretched. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the flow and interacts with a mixture of molybdenum disulfide and argentum nanoparticles suspended in pure water, forming a hybrid nanomaterial. Our investigation considers heat transport analysis under different conditions, such as magnetohydrodynamic, Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium flow, Joule heating, and a convective boundary condition.

Late small bowel perforation from a migrated double plastic biliary stent: A case report and a review of literature of 85 cases from 2000 to 2022.

Key Clinical Message: This case highlights the importance of considering stent migration as a possible cause of intestinal perforation and the need for prompt surgical intervention.

Abstract: Endo-biliary stent displacement is rare but can cause intestinal perforation. An 85-year-old woman with a history of ERCPs and biliary stents experienced stomach pain and vomiting.
