Modeling spatial-temporal variability of PM2.5 concentrations in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) region via functional adaptive density approach
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Oct 6. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-30048-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe rapid development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has led to severe air pollution dominated by PM2.5 concentrations which can cause a profound negative impact on human health and economic activity. This problem poses a critical environmental challenge to efficiently handling large-scale spatial-temporal PM2.5 data in this extended region. Functional data analysis (FDA) technique offers powerful tools that have the potential to enhance the analysis of spatial distributions and temporal dynamic changes in high-dim...

Giant left atrium and management modalities (surgical vs. conservative): a case report from Mauritania
CONCLUSION: Observational data on managing GLA is limited, and mortality can be high. Cardiovascular surgeons should carefully consider surgical options, and screening and follow-up are essential for early detection and management in patients with long-standing rheumatic heart disease.PMID:37663704 | PMC:PMC10473379 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001132 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Unhealthy Weight Among Young Children in the Middle East and North African Region
CONCLUSION: Undernutrition continues to be a problem in some countries in the MENA region and overnutrition is emerging as a health concern in many countries in the region. Countries in the region must advance programs that reduce undernutrition while not overlooking or inadvertently promoting overnutrition.PMID:37606074 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023001684 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1588: Seroprevalence of Alphaviruses (Togaviridae) among Urban Population in Nouakchott, Mauritania, West Africa
Salem Boukhary
The presence of alphaviruses, such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV), has never been reported in Mauritania. We assessed the seroprevalence of CHIKV among Nouakchott residents. A cross-sectional study involving 1300 non-febrile patients consulting at the Nouakchott hospital center was conducted between January and June 2021. The presence of anti-CHIKV IgG and neutralizing antibodies against CHIKV, O’nyong-nyong virus (ONNV), and Semliki Forest virus (SFV) was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a serum neutralization test, respectively, and the associated risk factors...
