To put an end to preventable newborn deaths, quality care must be provided throughout the continuum of care, i.e. during labor, at the time of delivery, during the first week of life and when newborns are ill or low birth weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neonatal unit in the context of newborn care according to WHO standards....

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/04/30
Morbihan disease (MD) is a rare entity. Its nosography is poorly understood, and its therapeutic management is difficult. We report a new case of MD. We report the case of a 39-year-old patient consulted in our department for a year with facial edema, erythema and papules reported by him, for which the patient was treated with cyclines, local and general corticosteroid therapy, without improvement. Clinical examination reveals significant edema of the forehead and eyelids with erythema of the ch...

We present the case of a 48-year-old female with a history of symptoms including exertional dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, and cough with clear sputum for three months. She had a previous history of a car accident two years prior. Upon evaluation, vital signs and physical examination findings were normal. Imaging revealed a giant diaphragmatic hernia with intestinal loops and a transverse colon hernia in both lung fields, displacing the heart to the left....

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy with agents that minimize resistance is crucial. Despite international concern, adherence to guidelines is still suboptimal. This study aims to determine the effect of the absence of national guidelines and the rate of conformity to international guidelines among physicians in antibiotic prescriptions for the treatment of UTIs in adults; and detect the factors that are associated ...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of different resistance exercise orders on training intensity in middle-aged and older women. Twenty-three participants (age 50-78 years) were randomized into two RT groups: One group started training sessions performing multi-joint exercises followed by single-joint exercises (MS, n = 12; 58.92 ± 5.53 years), while the other group performed their session in the opposite order (SM, n = 11; 57.93 ± 11.89 years). Both groups completed RT sessions ...

Investigation on the Relationship between Metabolic Changes and Symptom Burden in Sport-Related Concussion Recovery
Allyn Abadie, José R Fernández and Ryan N Moran
Article Type: Original Research | First Published: 2024/05/17
A sport-related concussion (SRC) is a mild traumatic brain injury resulting from impulsive forces in sports, often presenting various symptoms. Clinicians lack objective measures and rely on subjective patient reports (via symptom checklists or inventories) to guide return-to-play decisions. These methods, however, may not reflect physiologic recovery, with concern over the under-reporting of symptoms to return to activity quicker. Quantitative tracking of physiologic recovery could offer a more...

Rare Case of Intracalvarial Dermoid Cyst in an Adult
Priya Gupta and Aditya Patil
Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/04/27
Intracranial extension of a dermoid cyst in temporal region of scalp is extremely rare and we present one such case along with its management and follow-up. Dermoid cysts are benign tumors which result from aberrant closure of the neural tube. They have thick capsules which are lined by squamous epithelium and contain skin appendages. About 7 percent of all dermoids are craniofacial dermoid cysts with an incidence of 0.03 to 0.14 percent [1]....
