Intraoperative diagnosis of a giant pedunculated uterine myoma mimicking an adnexal mass presenting with acute abdomen in a resource-limited setting

Uterine myomas are common benign tumors of the female reproductive tract and are typically diagnosed in women of later reproductive age. Presentation as an acute abdomen due to a giant pedunculated subserosa myoma is uncommon, particularly in very young women. Such cases may clos...

Burnout syndrome, sleep quality and the effect of the practice of physical activities among community pharmacists in Douala, Cameroon: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Burnout is a human psychological response to work stress, evolving more prevalent among healthcare professionals and associated with many contributing factors. Aim The present study aimed to determine burnout prevalence and its associations with physical activ...

Streamlined durability monitoring of DuraNet® Plus and Interceptor® G2 insecticide-treated nets in Northern Region, Cameroon: assessment results in two sites from 2022 to 2025

Abstract Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are a critical vector control and malaria prevention tool. Routine monitoring of ITN physical and chemical durability is key to assessing their performance under real-world conditions. A streamlined ITN durability monitoring met...

Stochastic Optimal Control for Systems with Drifts of Bounded Variation: A Maximum Principle Approach

Abstract. We study a stochastic control problem for nonlinear systems governed by stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with irregular drift. The drift coefficient is assumed to decompose as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is bounded and Borel measurable, [Formu...

How Norms Depend on the Presence and Status of Observers: The Relational Contingency of Everyday Behaviors in 90 Societies

Norms are fundamental to social life, but basic questions about how they are affected by social context remain. Specifically, how do normative constraints depend on the presence and status of observers, and how do such relational contingencies vary across cultures? Using data fro...

Informality and Multidimensional Poverty in Sub‐Saharan Africa

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between the size of the informal economy and multidimensional poverty in Sub‐Saharan Africa, as well as the moderating role of government effectiveness in this relationship. While existing literature has primarily focused on the effec...

Rethinking Intellectual Property for Sustainability in OAPI Member States: Exploring Linear and Nonlinear Relationships

ABSTRACT Research on the contribution of intellectual property to sustainability has begun to emerge in Africa; however, the relationship between these variables remains unclear. This article investigates both the linear and non‐linear effects of intellectual property on sustaina...

Human papillomavirus vaccine acceptability in Cameroon: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is a key strategy for cervical cancer elimination. In Cameroon, HPV vaccine was introduced into the expanded program on immunization in 2020. However, synthesized evidence on vaccine acceptability is needed to guide polic...

Unveiling the effects of state capacity on energy diversification in developing countries

Despite increasing scholarly attention on the determinants of energy diversification, the importance of state capacity remains under-examined, especially in developing countries. In this paper, we analyze how the fiscal and legal dimensions of state capacity affect energy diversi...

Escalating pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles funestus increases Plasmodium transmission

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> The swift rise in pyrethroid resistance among malaria vectors poses a significant challenge to global malaria control. Although vector control tools have advanced, limited understanding of the vectorial capacity of highly pyrethroi...

Cardiovascular adaptation to spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension during scheduled cesarean section: the paradigm of ionized calcium and nitric oxide in a prospective cohort study

Maternal arterial hypotension occurs in 55–90% of cesarean sections performed under spinal anesthesia. While sympatholysis and aortocaval compression are conventional explanations, refractory cases suggest possible biochemical contributors beyond sympatholysis. We hypothesized th...
