Fructose Intake and Unhealthy Eating Habits Are Associated with MASLD in Pediatric Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study

Background/Objectives: Fructose consumption in children is increasing, as is the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Despite evidence linking added sugars to metabolic syndrome, fructose's impact on liver disease in youth remains unclear, especially in pediatrics. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of fructose intake in metabolic and liver dysfunction in a cohort of pre-school children and adolescents with obesity. Methods: We recruited 41 childre...

Incidence and burden of long COVID in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Long COVID, also known as "post-acute sequelae of COVID-19," affects at least 65 million individuals worldwide with a wide spectrum of symptoms that may last weeks, months, or permanently. Its epidemiology and burden in Africa are unclear. This meta-analysis examines long-term COVID-19 effects in the WHO African Region. A systematic search in several databases was carried out up to 12 February 2023 including observational studies from African countries reporting the cumulative incidence of lo...

Stool Xpert MTB/RIF as a possible diagnostic alternative to sputum in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ntroduction: Worldwide, COVID-19 pandemic lead to a large fall in the number of newly reported TB cases. In sub-Saharan Africa, microbiological diagnosis of TB is generally based on smear microscopy and Xpert MTB/RIF on sputum samples, but good quality sputum samples are often difficult to obtain, leading clinicians to rely on more invasive procedures for diagnosis. Aim of this study was to investigate pooled sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF on stool samples compared to respirator...

New insights into the role of mast cells as a therapeutic target in cancer through the blockade of immune checkpoint inhibitors

: Mast cells release different anti-and pro-inflammatory agents changing their role from protective to pro-inflammatory cells involved in the progression of different pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases and tumors. Different mediators released by mast cells are involved in their biological activities which may be anti-tumorigenic and/or pro-tumorigenic. For these reasons, tumor mast cells have been considered a novel therapeutic target to prevent tumor progression and metas...
