  Abstract: Background: We conducted a bibliographic analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in sub-Saharan Africa, which included the analysis of 8,139 genomic sequences from 34 of the 49 sub-Saharan African countries. Notably, only one complete sequence from Senegal was identified, which had been generated in the United States. Our primary objective was to utilize whole genome sequencing (WGS) to detect resistance in anti-tuberculous strains of the MTBC in Senegal. This …

  By Shraddha Bandgar, Raju Rathod, Vivekanand Teli, Pankaj Jadhav

  Abstract: Onychomycosis, an infection caused by fungi that affects fingernails or toenails, causes the nails to grow, separate from the nail bed, and become discoloured. While anybody can get, those with weakened immune systems, children and the elderly are especially susceptible. Present study was related to formulate an effective nail lacquer that would treat onychomycosis by utilizing Terbinafine hydrochloride. In this study, niosomes of a medication called terbinafine hydrochloride, an antifungal …

  Prevalence and Risk Factors of Neglected Tropical Diseases Among Women and Children in Rural Liberia: A Regional Perspective

  By J. Samuel Kamanda, Atul Khajuria, Eric Kwasi Elliason, Stephen Monday

  Abstract: Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain a critical public health challenge in Liberia, disproportionately affecting women and children in rural regions due to systemic inequities in water, sanitation, and healthcare access. This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of NTDs among 1,000 participants (600 children above 15 years and 400 women aged 15–49) in rural Liberia using stratified and cluster sampling. Laboratory diagnostics, including Kato-Katz stool analysis, urine filtration, …
