    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Kantawala, Burhan; Hamitoglu, Ali Emir; Nohra, Lea; Yusuf, Hassan Abdullahi; Isaac, Kirumira Jonathan; Shariff, Sanobar; Nazir, Abubakar
    The brain-machine interface (BMI), a crucial conduit between the human brain and computers, holds transformative potential for various applications in neuroscience. This manuscript explores the role of micro-engineered neuronal networks (MNNs) in advancing BMI technologies and their therapeutic applications. As the interdisciplinary collaboration intensifies, the need for innovative and user-friendly BMI technologies becomes paramount. A comprehensive literature review sourced from reputable databases (PubMed Central, Medline, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar) aided in the foundation of the manuscript, emphasizing the pivotal role of MNNs. This study aims to synthesize and analyze the diverse facets of MNNs in the context of BMI technologies, contributing insights into neural processes, technological advancements, therapeutic potentials, and ethical considerations surrounding BMIs. MNNs, exemplified by dual-mode neural microelectrodes, offer a controlled platform for understanding complex neural processes. Through case studies, we showcase the pivotal role of MNNs in BMI innovation, addressing challenges, and paving the way for therapeutic applications. The integration of MNNs with BMI technologies marks a revolutionary stride in neuroscience, refining brain-computer interactions and offering therapeutic avenues for neurological disorders. Challenges, ethical considerations, and future trends in BMI research necessitate a balanced approach, leveraging interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure responsible and ethical advancements. Embracing the potential of MNNs is paramount for the betterment of individuals with neurological conditions and the broader community.

    Monkeypox Outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo: A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Outcomes, Public Health Implications, and Security Measures
    (Wiley, 2024) Salomon, Izere; Hamitoglu, Ali Emir; Hertier, Unkwiye; Belise, Mugabekazi Albright; Sandrine, Uwase; Darius, Benimana; Abdoulkarim, Methode Yusufu
    BackgroundThe Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, is responsible for the zoonotic disease known as MPX. Primarily found in western and central Africa, emerging studies indicate a shift in transmission dynamics. Ongoing MPX outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have escalated into significant public health concerns.ObjectivesThis review endeavors to provide a comprehensive analysis of the public health implications, clinical consequences, and preventive measures related to the current MPX outbreak in the DRC. It focuses on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and public health responses to this global health challenge.MethodologyThe research synthesizes data regarding MPX outbreaks in the DRC, drawing from academic journals, public health reports, and case studies through a narrative review approach.ResultsThe recent outbreak in the DRC has identified approximately 12,569 suspected MPX cases, resulting in 581 fatalities, which corresponds to a case fatality rate (CFR) of 4.6%. These cases have been documented across 156 health sectors in 22 out of 26 provinces, representing the highest case count recorded to date. The epidemic has also encroached upon previously unaffected regions. Hospitalization rates have varied between 4% and 10%, with a significant percentage of cases attributed to sexual transmission. Analysis of demographic and geographic data revealed distinct patterns in viral spread. Clinical outcomes have varied, with an average CFR close to 10%, influenced by factors such as timely diagnosis and access to healthcare services. Rural areas have accounted for over 70% of the cases, highlighting the necessity for targeted public health interventions. Control measures have focused on community awareness campaigns and immunization programs, reaching approximately 50% of the at-risk population; however, challenges related to resource limitations and political instability have impeded effective response strategies.ConclusionThe ongoing MPX outbreak in the DRC poses a substantial public health challenge. While progress has been made in managing the epidemic, it remains imperative to address resource deficiencies and enhance public health systems. Strengthening international collaboration, expanding healthcare access, and improving surveillance capabilities are critical to mitigating the risk of future outbreaks.

    Rising meningitis in USA and Mexico: insights from the fatal outbreak
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Anis, Heeba; Shaik, Akbar Basha; Berjaoui, Christin; Karabulut, Ece; Tiwari, Angad; Nazir, Abubakar; Hamitoglu, Ali Emir
    Meningitis, an inflammatory disease affecting the meningeal layers of the brain and the spinal cord, poses a significant public health concern globally. Most meningitis cases are caused by viral infections, bacterial infections being the second most common cause, while fungal or parasitic infections are deemed rare. Despite the decrease in bacterial meningitis because of vaccination and treatment, a recent meningitis outbreak in the United States and Mexico highlighted ongoing challenges. The current meningitis outbreak is caused by a pathogenic fungus and is associated with surgical procedures performed under spinal anaesthesia as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the 11 May of 2023. Around 20 cases with clinical suspicion of meningitis, including two fatalities, have been attributed to this rampant outbreak. Timely diagnosis, utilising diagnostic modalities such as lumbar puncture and pathogen detection methods, is crucial for appropriate management. Iatrogenic meningitis must be avoided by enhancing surveillance, infection control procedures, and adherence to aseptic practices. To lessen the effects of meningitis and enhance patient outcomes, the WHO's roadmap and preventive interventions, such as targeted immunisations, are essential.

    Trends and Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery in Low-Resource Settings: Lessons From Two African Healthcare Systems-A Narrative Review
    (Wiley, 2024) Hamitoglu, Ali Emir; Fawaz, Violette; Elawad, Shaima Omer Mohamed; Assker, Mohamad Monif; Nader, Thea Maria; Wellington, Jack; Uwishema, Olivier
    IntroductionLaparoscopic surgery (LS) has been a promising development in surgical practice globally ever since its introduction. LS has exhibited many an advantage, including bettering patient outcomes, lowering the risk of postoperative infection, and displaying economical affluence. However, its implementation in the African continent still faces various challenges. In this review, we investigated the status of laparoscopic surgery integration in Africa.ObjectivesIn this review, we aimed to investigate the challenges posed by the implementation of LS in low resource countries as well as critically evaluating initiatives and their impact within said domiciles. We also provide recommendations that may assist in LS prosperity in these settings by focusing efforts on improving training and financial incentives.MethodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted to garner up-to-date evidence concerning the fate of LS adoption in low- to middle-income countries. This comprised the analysis of different case studies from countries including Nigeria and Botswana, and investigated relevant recommendations and policies provided by other African countries.ResultsVarious challenges face the implementation of LS in countries with low resources comprising poor infrastructure, scarce training programs, and expert training personnel alongside financial boundaries. The adoption of LS in Africa has proved its benefits in improving patient outcomes and reducing hospital admissions. From a perspective of policy, it is crucial to sustain strong ties amongst institutions, stressing the importance of dynamic collaboration and locally tailored policies.ConclusionIt has been demonstrated that LS implementations in African nations lower infection rates and expedite recovery. A strong collaboration between governments, stakeholders, and healthcare providers is fundamental for successful integration of LS. Such extension in low-resource environments may be achieved by providing proper training programs, funding infrastructure and equipment, and fostering effective financial initiatives.
