Prevalence of Biofilm-Forming Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Clinical Samples in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background: Biofilms help Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhere to surfaces and form an extracellular polymeric matrix. P. aeruginosa infections are increasingly difficult to treat due to biofilm formation. This study seeks to ascertain the overall prevalence of biofilm-forming P. aerugi...

A hybrid SHA-256 and variational quantum classifier framework for simulation-based intrusion detection in SDN-IoT networks

Abstract The convergence of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) with Internet of Things (IoT) introduces critical security vulnerabilities requiring adaptive detection mechanisms. This paper presents QEIDS, a quantum-enhanced intrusion detection system combining SHA-256 cryptograph...

Prognostic value of tissue-based DNA methylation biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review

Abstract Background Non-small cell lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with varied outcomes despite advances in therapy. Epigenetic modifications, especially DNA methylation, are crucial regulators of gene expression and have been linked to NSCL...

Fuzzy Congruences on Heyting Algebras: Characterizations via Fuzzy Ideals and Filters.

<ns5:p>Background Heyting algebras serve as algebraic models for intuitionistic logic, with classical congruence relations playing a key role in their structural analysis. This paper extends classical congruence theory to the fuzzy setting, motivated by the need to handle gradati...

Prevalence, risk factors, organ distribution, and economic loss of bovine hydatidosis in Woldia municipal abattoir, Northeast Ethiopia

Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonosis of considerable public health and economic importance. Although numerous abattoir-based studies have been conducted in Ethiopia, data from Woldia municipal abattoir remains limited. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and associated ris...

Incidental finding of an ectopic retrosternal parathyroid adenoma in a patient operated on for controlled toxic multinodular goiter: a rare case report

Background: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas are extremely rare in clinical practice and, therefore, represent a diagnostic challenge. Incidentally detected retrosternal adenomas are even rarer. Case presentation: We present the case of a 51-year-old female patient who presented with...

Impact of climate-smart agriculture adoption on household food consumption expenditure in Ethiopia

Climate change poses significant challenges to the agricultural production system and food security. In response, the adoption of climate‑smart agriculture is imperative for strengthening climate resilience while improving farm productivity and food security. This study aimed to...
