Pelvic inflammatory disease can be an incredibly difficult condition to treat. The patient having a developmental disability such as autism can further complicate the matter. When numerous imaging studies, lab reports, and hospital admission have been pursued and symptoms persist, the situation begins to take the form of a novel clinical case. We present the case of an autistic woman who had persistent abdominal pain over the course of 5 years. After non-gynecologic causes of her pain were…

This paper presents a comprehensive multi-physics analytical framework for understanding the nonlinear dynamics of fluid-structure interactions in biomedical energy harvesting systems, addressing critical limitations in traditional power sources for implantable medical devices. By integrating classical sloshing eigenvalue theory with fluid-structure interaction dynamics, we develop a coupled Hamiltonian model that captures the complex energy exchange between external mechanical excitation…

Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) is still an integral part of modern health care that plays an important role in illness diagnosis, surveillance, prevention and therapeutic management. Laboratory technologies have evolved greatly, but the profession is confronted with several worldwide concerns that jeopardise patient outcomes and the delivery of healthcare. These include workforce shortages, antimicrobial resistance, emerging infectious diseases, poor laboratory infrastructure in low…

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease for which the goal is disease remission or near-remission on a treat-to-target basis. Noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) represents a new era as an alternative to drug-resistant therapy, providing evidence of the anti inflammatory neuroimmunological (NIM) effect of vagal stimulation along with the restoration of autonomic nervous system balance.

Objective: We aimed to assess…

The proliferation of instant messaging platforms has transformed how healthcare professionals engage in continuing medical education (CME) and peer knowledge exchange. WhatsApp and Telegram, owing to their accessibility, multimedia capabilities, and near-universal smartphone compatibility, have gained considerable traction within clinical communities worldwide. This narrative review synthesises peer-reviewed evidence on the educational benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with…

Background: Severe malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and individuals with comorbidities. The interaction between malaria, dehydration, hypertension, and stroke can accelerate multiorgan dysfunction through complex hematological, haemostatic, and microvascular mechanisms.

Case Presentation: We report the case of an 85-year-old hypertensive female with…

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent and debilitating chronic consequence of diabetes mellitus, impacting over 50% of patients with long-standing illness. It includes a wide range of illnesses that affect peripheral and autonomic nerves, which can cause loss of sensation, neuropathic pain, autonomic dysfunction, and a higher risk of foot ulcers and amputations. Even though diabetes treatment has gotten better, DN is still not diagnosed or treated well enough, mostly because its aetiology…

Systematic reviews derive their credibility from the comprehensive identification of relevant evidence. In medical science research, systematic reviews have traditionally been pursued through searches of multiple curated bibliographic databases, a practice reinforced by methodological convention and consensus reporting frameworks. However, this approach developed in an earlier era of scientific communication, when dissemination was slower, more journal-centered, and more tightly bounded by…

Background: The location of lesions causing hearing loss in patients with cerebral palsy remains unclear.

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of auditory pathologies in children with various forms of cerebral palsy.

Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled 42 children with a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy. All participants underwent comprehensive clinical examinations;…

The credibility of science and the advancement of knowledge depend on scholarly publishing's integrity. Trust is the foundation of the whole publication process, from data collection and article drafting to peer review and editorial decision-making. However, a number of integrity issues threaten the validity of academic writing in many emerging research systems, including Nigeria. The main categories of misbehavior in journal publication are thoroughly examined in this work, including…
