Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide and constitutes a public health problem in the DRC due to its high morbidity and mortality. Its frequency is estimated at 24%, and it is often discovered late due to lack of screening. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 11 health zones scattered throughout the 4 Districts of the city of Kinshasa. We included 1296 women. A bivariate and a multivariate analysis wer...

The traditional notion that higher pay equals higher job satisfaction has been challenged by modern workplace dynamics. This study explores the complex relationship between compensation and job attitudes, moving beyond the simplistic assumption that salary alone determines employee satisfaction. A mixed-methods approach was employed to capture both quantitative and qualitative data from a sample of employees from various organizations. The results show that while competitive compensation remains...

Background: Incisional hernias usually developed from the former postoperative scar. Surgery is often necessary to push the protruding tissue back in place, remove any scar, and adhere to a surgical mesh to prevent recurrence. Open ventral repair is often performed under general anaesthesia but can also be done under neuraxial anesthesia. Case Report: We report a case of a 59-year-old female, ASA 2 for Obesity (BMI 31 kg/m²), Hypertension, Type 2 Diab...

Introduction: The use of antimicrobials in animal production, particularly for disease prevention, poses health risks due to potential residues in animal products and the development of antimicrobial resistance. In Zanzibar, where agriculture contributes significantly to the GDP, poultry is a predominant livestock industry, but faces challenges in meeting local market demand. Poultry production deficits are addressed largely through the importation of poultry meat from abroad, h...

Purtscher-like retinopathies (PLRs) are occlusive retinal microangiopathies arising from non-traumatic etiologies with characteristic fundus findings. We present a case of PLR secondary to typical hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) that achieved an excellent visual outcome with treatment of the systemic disease alone. This report highlights that PLR should be considered as a differential for retinopathy in the setting of systemic illness. Furthermore, the treatment of the precipitant cause should b...

Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human lymphotropic herpesvirus which is also called Gamma herpesvirus and has been involved in several cancers. EBV is the first human tumor virus identified. There has been much epidemiological and mechanistic evidence to prove the causal role of EBV in multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination and neuroinflammation. For this paper, I aim to provide answers to ...

The economic dispatch problem in power systems is a classic issue in the field of power systems. This paper first uses the traditional genetic algorithm to solve the economic dispatch problem of power systems. The simulation results show that the classic genetic algorithm falls into the dilemma of local minimum values. Therefore, we introduce a multi-population genetic algorithm, setting different crossover and mutation probabilities in different populations, and introducing an immigration opera...
