Prevalence and factors associated with maternal near-miss at the Regional Hospital Bamenda
Maternal Near Miss (MNM) is a woman who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days after childbirth. It assesses and monitors the activities aimed at the prevention of maternal mortality. A 2019 systematic review estimated...

Molecular-Scale Observation of Flexibility and Thermal Motions in Surface-Coordinated Polymers
We report a molecular-scale study of a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed on a Cu(111) surface. A tailored ligand, 2,7-dicyano-9,9-dimethylfluorene (DCF), was designed to reduce interactions with the surface while enabling directional coordination with Cu adatoms. Scanni...

Urinary Biomarkers for the Risk Assessment and Management of Heart Failure: Pearls and Pitfalls
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We review potential applications and pitfalls of urinary biomarkers in people with heart failure (HF). RECENT FINDINGS: Albuminuria may indicate kidney damage and guide prioritization of medications in HF. Urine sodium is useful in guiding diuretic management....

Perioperative Imatinib Treatment Continuation Patterns and Long-Term Outcomes in Locally Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors After Neoadjuvant Therapy: An Exploratory Two-Center Retrospective Study
- Health & MedicineOpen access
This prospective observational cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 0.75% ropivacaine in unilateral mandibular third molar extraction and to compare its postoperative analgesic outcomes with those of 2% lidocaine. A total of 128 patients undergoing unilateral m...

The role of urban agriculture in mitigating urban poverty
Urban agriculture is neglected by policy makers, researchers and urban planners in Ethiopia in general and in research area in particular. Moreover, there are controversial ideas concerning its role in household poverty alleviation. In a modest attempt to fill in the research gap...

Post-translational modifications of integrins: molecular mechanisms and pathological implications
Integrins are cell-surface adhesion receptors that mediate bidirectional signaling governing migration, proliferation, and survival. Emerging evidence reveals that integrin function is finely controlled by an interconnected network of post-translational modifications (PTMs), span...
