Vaccination is key to eliminating hepatitis B virus infection in South Africa (SA). Despite introducing immunisation in 1995, as part of the expanded programme of immunisation (EPI), hepatitis B virus infection remains endemic, and EPI vaccine coverage is incomplete. In addition to infants, non-immune adults at risk of infection through their occupation or with behavioural risk factors should receive vaccination. SA has many individuals with diabetes mellitus (a prevalence of almost 13%), obesity, HIV (8.45 million) or older age (5 million >60 years old), associated with a poorer vaccine response...

Adult granulosa cell tumors are rare, accounting for only 3-5% of all ovarian tumors. Adult granulosa cell tumors have late recurrences, for which complete resection is an effective option. We report a patient who underwent complete resection of a huge recurrent adult granulosa cell tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A 72-year-old woman underwent primary surgery for an adult granulosa cell tumor 19 years earlier. A huge recurrent tumor, 11 × 10 cm in size, was noted to elevate the hepatic hilum, inferior vena cava, and right renal vein...

INTRODUCTION: The differential expression of emotional reactivity from early to late adulthood may involve maturation of prefrontal cortical responses to negative valence stimuli. In mice, age-related changes in affective behaviors have been reported, but the functional neural circuitry warrants further investigation. METHODS: We assessed age variations in affective behaviors and functional connectivity in male and female C57BL6/J mice. Mice aged 10, 30 and 60 weeks (wo) were tested over 8 weeks for open field activity, sucrose preference, social interactions, fear conditioning, and functional neuroimaging...

This study presents a unique case of concurrent salmonella and Leptospira meningitis in a 20-year-old woman with no prior medical history. Coinfection with endemic pathogens is plausible, especially in regions like Pakistan. While Salmonella meningitis is uncommon, it presents a significant medical emergency, particularly in immunocompromised adults. Neuroleptospirosis, though rare, can manifest in certain cases. The patient displayed persistent high fever, confusion, irritability, and a single seizure episode...

Abdominal migraine (AM) is a prevalent pediatric condition that rarely affects adults. Multiple diagnostic criteria have been established, but in general, AM is characterized by unprovoked episodes of acute central abdominal pain with migrainous characteristics and periods of respite. Recurrent stomach pain is a prevalent symptom globally, with a significant portion of cases falling under the category of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) due to the absence of identified biological causes. There is a notable prevalence of migraines among individuals with a family history of the condition, indicating a genetic predisposition...
