Genomic investigation of an Influenza A(H3N2) subclade K outbreak in a secondary school in Burundi, 2026

Severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) are an important public health concern, particularly in settings where identification of the causative pathogen can be challenging. Testing of patients with unexplained SARI (SARI surveillance) and characterization of causative pathogens...

Unpacking the Role of Financial Incentives in the Motivation and Individual Performance of Nurses in LMICs: A Scoping Review Protocol

ABSTRACT Background Health systems in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) continue to face persistent challenges related to health worker performance and quality of care, exacerbated by a global shortage of nurses. Financial incentive strategies (FIS), which include performa...

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding dietary supplements among athletes in Morocco: a national cross-sectional exploratory study

Abstract Dietary supplement (DS) use is widespread in sports but raises important health and ethical concerns, particularly the risk of unintentional doping. In Morocco, data on this topic remain scarce. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of...

Computational drug repurposing against histone acetyltransferase p300 for non-hormonal treatment of endometriosis using virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder, characterized by debilitating pain and commonly associated with infertility. Medical therapies are often ineffective, with 25–34% of patients exhibit no or poor response, and many experiencing intolerable side effects that limit...

Integrative computational repositioning of Foretinib and PF-03715455 as potential GSTP1 inhibitors for cancer chemosensitization

Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) plays a key role in tumor progression and drug detoxification, making it a promising target for reversing chemoresistance in cancer cells. Although several GSTP1 inhibitors have been identified, none have progressed to clinical use, mainly bec...

Linking urban green space characteristics to physical activity: observational evidence from Casablanca

Evidence on how urban green space characteristics influence physical activity remains limited in North African cities. This participatory study examined nine target areas – trails, playgrounds, outdoor exercise zones, and a sports court – across four Casablanca green spaces diffe...

Imaging of an infected cystic lymphangioma of the forearm in an adolescent: A case report

<ns5:p> Background Campylobacter spp. is among the leading causes of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide, with infections caused by Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli the most common. These infections pose a major challenge to global public health. Despite the recent inc...

Use of artificial intelligence for medication adherence assessment in patients with type 2 diabetes: an exploratory study in Morocco using ChatGPT and the validated general medication adherence scale

Objectives: Medication adherence remains a major challenge in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially in middle-income countries such as Morocco. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, large language models, including ChatGPT, may offer new opportuniti...

One in seven has severe pain: a point-prevalence study of hospitalised patients across Africa

ABSTRACT: Acute pain in hospitalised patients is common, yet African data are scarce. We conducted a prospective point-prevalence study of hospitalised adult patients across Africa to determine acute pain prevalence and severity and investigate associations of pain with critical...
