Early use of oral cholera vaccines as a prime control measure during outbreaks: Necessary but not sufficient
The objective of the outbreak investigation was to identify associated risk factors that would help institute appropriate control measures.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A case control study design was chosen to identify the risk factors for cholera in Gadarif State.RESULTS: Multi-variate analysis of identified two risk factors and three preventive factors for cholera in Gadarif City.RISK FACTORS: Buying foods or drinks from street vendors (OR = 71.36), 95 % CI: 16.58-307.14), living in an urban setting (Gadarif City) (OR = 5.38), 95 % CI: 2.10-13.81); and the preventive factors were: Washing hands with water after defecation but w...

Morphology and thickness of corneal endothelial cells in young Sudanese individuals with myopia
This study aimed to evaluate corneal endothelial cell morphology and central corneal thickness in young individuals with myopia. A prospective study was conducted at Al-Neelain University Eye Hospital between January 2019 and January 2020, including 160 patients with myopia (320 eyes). Data was gathered through clinical assessment of visual acuity, refractive error, and corneal endothelial cells. Results showed that 60% of participants with myopia were female, with a mean age of 21.99±2.8 years and a mean equivalent sphere of -3.19±2.67D. There was a significant difference in endothelial cell degeneration between myopia ...
