Background: Diabetic patients are more prone to severe UTIs, thereby posing challenges in their management. Locally there is paucity of data on the patterns of uropathogens implicated in UTIs. Antibiotics are frequently prescribed empirically which results in excessive prescription of antibiotics with precedent complications including but not limited to resistant microbial agents in the population. This study investigated the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of bacterial pathogens causing UTI in diabetic patients in Thika level 5 hospital, Kiambu County, Kenya.

This study aimed to design and develop a more insightful mobile app ‘Auteggo’ for guardians of autistic children where they can connect and consult with professionals.

It is currently in development that will help our specialists from the UAE and MENA region to connect with consumers globally to provide essential support to families and individuals.

Infectious diseases are recognized for the maximum mortality as well as morbidity of humans and animals. The higher prevalence of infectious diseases is found in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This is due to poor sanitization and hygienic condition which is favorable for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. The present study focused on the current status of major infectious diseases in Northern India. Overall results indicated that the prevalence of selected diseases still remains similar to previous studies with several changes in their severity.

According to the outcomes of a clinical experience in more of two hundred patients, pressure focused on the wound bed prevents infection. We did a daily follow-up of the clinical course of the wounds, during the first few weeks, to detect any signs or symptoms of infection, in which case we would prescribe antibiotics, but this did not happen. We asked for cell cultures of the wound’s exudate, finding bacterial contamination, but no infection. The explanation lies in the antibacterial effect of monocytes.

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the results obtained in 12 carpal scaphoid pseudarthroses that had benefited from a non-vascularised cortico-cancellous graft, in order to specify the factors influencing the results and to determine the ideal indications and limitations. Between 2015 and 2021, 12 patients received a non-vascularized cortico-cancellous graft. The average follow-up was 36 months. The average age was 31 years. For 5 patients, the fracture was not initially diagnosed and the average delay of diagnosis was 2 months.

The current state of our knowledge allows us today to propose minimally invasive treatments that meet the major requirements of modern dentistry, thanks to new approaches and new materials. Minimally invasive restorations, including veneers, whose indications are still poorly understood, require good control on the part of the practitioner, a difficult preparation and a rigorous bonding.
