Authors: Wechuli Veronicah A. , Karara Monicah W. , Wafula Allan T. , Mayoka Godfrey W. 
Published: May 2024

Background and Objective
Pandemics, like COVID-19, disrupt healthcare, potentially reversing progress in various disease areas. The impact on maternal and child health (MCH) services in Kenya during the pandemic is yet to be determined. Recognizing this impact is crucial for formulating policies and programs that minimize disruptions in reproductive health services during future health crises. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of COVID-19 on the uptake of MCH services at Thika Level V Hospital, a regional referral hospital in Kenya.

Methods
In this cross-sectional mixed methods study, we reviewed antenatal clinic (ANC), MCH, and family planning (FP) registers for data on the uptake of the various services during the COVID-19 pandemic (July to October 2020) compared to a year before the COVID-19 pandemic (July to October 2019). MCH clients (N = 60) and healthcare workers (N = 19) were interviewed about the impact of the pandemic on MCH services at the hospital. Differences in clinic attendance before and during the pandemic were compared using the student t-test. Thematic analysis was conducted on the interview responses.

Results
The number of MCH/FP clients dropped from 12,915 pre-pandemic to 7,429 during the pandemic. Significant differences were noted in ANC revisits (p = 0.026) and those completing the World Health Organization recommended minimum of four ANC visits (p<0.001) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of revisits at the child welfare clinic was also significantly lower (p = 0.004) during the COVID-19 lockdown period. MCH clients stated that the decline in the uptake of MCH services was attributable to the fear of contracting disease, financial difficulties, and strain on the healthcare workforce.

Conclusion and Global Health Implications
This study found a decline in access to MCH/FP services during the COVID-19 crisis with the potential to reverse gains made in securing the safety of the pregnant mother and unborn baby.

Published: May 2024

Background
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after coronavirus 2 infection (COVID-19), leading to higher morbidity and mortality. There is little prospective data from India regarding the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of AKI in COVID-19.

Materials and Methods
This study was conducted prospectively in adult patients between September and December 2020 in a tertiary care hospital in the national capital region of Delhi. A total of 856 patients with COVID-19 infection were enrolled in the study. Survivors were followed for 3 months after discharge.

Results
Out of 856 patients, 207 (24%) developed AKI. AKI was significantly higher in those with severe disease as compared to mild-moderate disease (88% vs. 12%, P = 0.04). Out of all AKI, 3.4% had stage 1, 9.2% had stage 2, and the rest 87.4% had stage 3 AKI. 183/207 (88%) patients were on mechanical ventilators, 133 (64%) required inotropic support, and 137/207 (83.6%) patients required kidney replacement therapy. Out of 207 AKI patients, 74% (153) died as compared to 4% (27) in non-AKI group (P = 0.0001). After 3 months, chronic kidney disease (CKD) developed in 10/54 (18.5%) patients. On multivariable analysis, the presence of diabetes mellitus, severe COVID-19 disease, high levels of C reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase, D-Dimer, and use of intravenous steroids, tocilizumab and remdesivir, were found to be significant predictors of AKI.

Conclusion
AKI is common after COVID-19 infection and it is a significant risk factor for mortality in COVID-19. Patients with diabetes and high levels of inflammatory markers have higher mortality. CKD may develop in many patients after discharge.

Authors: Indelicato Alessandro , Martín Juan Carlos 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The study transcends borders to challenge conventional narratives about religious tolerance and fundamentalism. Leveraging a Fuzzy-Hybrid Approach, we delve into the multifaceted realities of eight diverse nations: Germany, Cyprus, the United States, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, and Kenya. Our innovative analysis unveils surprising complexities, shattering stereotypes and painting a nuanced picture of religious beliefs. Germany emerges as a beacon of tolerance, boasting the highest tolerance levels with the lowest fundamentalism. However, the stark reality for citizens of Lebanon, Kenya, and Palestine reveals a landscape of lower tolerance and higher fundamentalism. This study delves deeper, using quantile regression models to expose the intricate interplay between religious tolerance, individual socioeconomic factors like education and religious discrimination, and even views on the death penalty. Our findings challenge simplistic assumptions, revealing intricate relationships between tolerance and fundamentalism across diverse contexts.

Published: May 2024

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to develop and validate a predictive nomogram model for long-term rebleeding events in patients with hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (HMMD).

METHODS
In total, 554 patients with HMMD from the Fifth Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital (5-PLAGH cohort) were included and randomly divided into training (390 patients) and internal validation (164 patients) sets. An independent cohort from the First Medical Center and Eighth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital (the 1-PLAGH and 8-PLAGH cohort) was used for external validation (133 patients). Univariate Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression algorithm were used to identify significant factors associated with rebleeding, which were used to develop a nomogram for predicting 5- and 10-year rebleeding.

RESULTS
Intraventricular hemorrhage was the most common type of cerebral hemorrhage (39.0% of patients in the 5-PLAGH cohort and 42.9% of the 1-PLAGH and 8-PLAGH cohort). During the mean ± SD follow-up period of 10.4 ± 2.9 years, 91 (16.4%) patients had rebleeding events in the 5-PLAGH cohort. The rebleeding rates were 12.3% (68 patients) at 5 years and 14.8% (82 patients) at 10 years. Rebleeding events were observed in 72 patients (14.3%) in the encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) surgery group, whereas 19 patients (37.3%) experienced rebleeding events in the conservative treatment group. This difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). We selected 4 predictors (age at onset, number of episodes of bleeding, posterior circulation involvement, and EDAS surgery) for nomogram development. The concordance index (C-index) values of the nomograms of the training cohort, internal validation cohort, and the external validation cohort were 0.767 (95% CI 0.704–0.830), 0.814 (95% CI 0.694–0.934), and 0.718 (95% CI 0.661–0.775), respectively. The nomogram at 5 years exhibited a sensitivity of 48.1% and specificity of 87.5%. The positive and negative predictive values were 38.2% and 91.3%, respectively. The nomogram at 10 years exhibited a sensitivity of 47.1% and specificity of 89.1%. The positive and negative predictive values were 48.5% and 88.5%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
EDAS may prevent rebleeding events and improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with HMMD. The nomogram accurately predicted rebleeding events and assisted clinicians in identifying high-risk patients and devising individual treatments. Simultaneously, comprehensive and ongoing monitoring should be implemented for specific patients with HMMD throughout their entire lifespan.

OBJECTIVE
Accounting for approximately 15% of primary liver cancers and 3% of gastrointestinal malignancies, cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) poses a serious health concern given its high mortality rate. Managing brain metastases (BMs) from CCA is challenging because of their rarity and poor prognosis, with little guidance on treatment from the literature. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in managing BMs from CCA.

METHODS
This multicenter retrospective study included 13 CCA patients with 41 BMs treated with SRS from October 2006 to April 2022 at eight institutions affiliated with the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation. Inclusion criteria were a CCA diagnosis, an age over 18 years, no other malignancies, single-fraction SRS treatment for BMs, and at least one follow-up image. Data on demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment details, and outcomes were collected. The primary endpoints were local control (LC), intracranial progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint was the development of adverse radiation effects (AREs).

RESULTS
The median radiological follow-up was 5 months (range 1–18 months). At the last follow-up, LC was achieved in 39 (95.1%) of 41 BMs. New distant metastases were observed in 3 patients (23.1%), and the mean intracranial PFS was 9.4 months (95% CI 6.5–12.3 months). Six-month and 1-year OS rates were 38.5% and 11.5%, respectively, and the median OS was 6 months (95% CI 4.9–7.2 months). Concurrent immunotherapy was associated with a high risk of local failure (HR 29.665, 95% CI 1.799–489.206, p = 0.018), and the absence of systemic chemotherapy before SRS was linked to reduced OS (HR 6.658, 95% CI 1.173–37.776, p = 0.032). Regarding AREs, only 1 patient (7.7%) experienced right hemiparesis and was treated with corticosteroid therapy.

CONCLUSIONS
SRS is an effective option for managing BMs in CCA patients, showing promise in LC and a high safety profile.
