Abstract

Introduction: Monkeypox, a zoonotic viral disease endemic to Central and West Africa, has recently gained global attention due to outbreaks beyond its traditional range. Understanding the genomic diversity of monkeypox virus (MPXV) isolates, particularly those from Sudan, is crucial for effective public health surveillance and vaccine development. Methods: In this study, we employed comparative genomics to analyze MPXV isolates from Sudan and other endemic regions. We utilized publicly available genomic sequences from NCBI's GenBank database. Phylogenetic analysis, sequence alignment, and identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were performed to assess genetic diversity and identify potential geographic or temporal clustering. Results: Our analysis revealed distinct genetic lineages of MPXV circulating in Sudan compared to other endemic regions. Specific SNPs and genomic signatures were identified that could serve as potential markers for differentiating Sudanese isolates. Notably, some Sudanese isolates exhibited closer genetic relatedness to isolates from recent outbreaks outside of Africa, suggesting potential transmission pathways. Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the genomic diversity of MPXV in Sudan and other endemic regions. The identification of Sudan-specific genomic signatures highlights the importance of considering regional variations in public health surveillance and vaccine development efforts. Continued genomic surveillance is essential for monitoring the evolution of MPXV and detecting potential emerging variants with altered virulence or transmissibility.

Abstract

Introduction: Desert climates present unique challenges to skin health due to low humidity, high temperatures, and intense sun exposure, potentially compromising the skin barrier. Moisturizers play a crucial role in mitigating these effects. This study investigates the impact of moisturizers on skin barrier function in individuals residing in Dubai (desert climate) and a temperate region. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 100 participants (50 from Dubai, 50 from a temperate region). Skin barrier function was assessed using transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements and stratum corneum hydration levels. Participants' moisturizer usage patterns and perceived skin dryness were recorded. Results: Dubai residents exhibited significantly higher TEWL values and lower stratum corneum hydration levels compared to those in the temperate region, indicating a compromised skin barrier. Regular moisturizer use was associated with significantly improved skin barrier function in both groups, with a more pronounced effect observed in Dubai residents. Conclusion: This study highlights the vulnerability of skin barrier function in desert climates. Regular moisturizer use effectively improves skin barrier function, particularly in arid environments. These findings underscore the importance of moisturizers as a cornerstone of skincare in desert climates.

Abstract

Introduction: Innate immunity is the body's defense system that exists from birth and is the body's first defense against infection. This system involves multiple defense mechanisms that work together to recognize, deter, and respond to pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In the context of Mycobacterium leprae, the role of the innate immune system is very important because this bacterium has unique pathogenic properties and is capable of infecting human body cells in complex ways. Methods: The literature search process was carried out on various databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar) regarding the role of innate immunity against Mycobacterium leprae. This study follows the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) recommendations. Results: One of the main aspects of the role of the innate immune system against Mycobacterium leprae is the recognition of this pathogen by phagocytic cells, such as macrophages. Mycobacterium leprae evades recognition and destruction by these cells in a number of ways, including cell surface modification of the immune response. Conclusion: The innate immunity response plays a significant role in the response to Mycobacterium leprae infection. Innate immunity acts as an initial and fast response to mitigate the Mycobacterium leprae infection from getting more massive.
