Wound closure techniques are vital components of modern medical practice, aimed at promoting healing, minimising infection risks, and achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes. Sutures and stapling are two primary methods utilised for wound closure. This report discusses the importance of sutures and stapling in medical procedures, their advantages and disadvantages, and their respective applications in different clinical scenarios, especially in traumatic situations.

Despite the fact that waste is a main environmental menace which has ramifications on a people and their habitat, waste disposal is an activity that is relegated to the periphery in developing nations. A possible explanation for this relegation is the huge financial implication that waste management has, yet most of these developing nations have massive financial obligations in other more pressing sectors such as education and health. Additionally, there is limited political amity as well as inadequate institutional capacity to address the waste disposal problem.

Myoepithelial soft tissue tumors often pose diagnostic challenges due to their rarity. Their identification relies primarily on pathological analysis, although clinical and radiological features can guide the healthcare professional. Myoepithelial tumors, when benign, generally do not invade bone. In this context, we present a new case of this rare pathology, observed in the soft tissues of the thigh of a 32-year-old individual, with no bone involvement detected.

COVID-19 infection is a public health challenge that also includes the issue of health inequity in the United States and around the world. Populations in underserved communities and those who have underlying conditions (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, etc...) experienced higher rates of SARS-Cov-2 infection, hospitalizations, and even deaths. Traits such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension associated with the severity of the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic made physical activity interventions a valuable prevention factor.

Osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT) is a clinical condition characterized by a series of pathological manifestations resulting from the invasion of osteoarticular structures in the musculoskeletal system by the Bacillus of Koch (BK), or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This condition exhibits a higher frequency of involvement in the spine and hips, with the occurrence of tuberculosis in the epiphyses of long bones being extremely rare. The indolent nature of the disease poses a significant challenge for clinicians in accurately diagnosing epiphyseal tuberculosis in long bones.

Security cameras are now widely used around the world to combat crime. This study was conducted to assess the perception of installing Closed-circuit Television towards crime prevention and crime suppression in the Municipality of Jimenez, Misamis Occidental, specifically at Jimenez Public Market. This type of research intends to gain an understanding of the success and challenges encountered by governments. Ninety-six (96) employees were considered as respondents of this study. Weighted Arithmetic Mean was used as a statistical tool to analyze the data.

The harmful effect of synthetic pesticides on the environment and human health calls for sustainable plant and animal disease management. The study's objective was to evaluate the antifungal activities of red onion peel extract on papaya fruit rot fungal pathogens. Onion peel methanol extract at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25mg/ml concentration was employed to assess the fungal inhibition.

Water stress is known to enhance the accumulation of vitamins and cyanogenic glucosides in cassava (Manihotesculenta Crantz), a food security crop in Sub-Saharan Africa. A study was carried out to evaluation of the effects of dry and rainy seasons on cassava rootstoxicity and fungi associated with its rot. Laboratory work was done at Imo State University's Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, while the field experiment was conducted at Nigeria's National Root Crop Research Institute in Umudike, Umuahia, Abia State.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the development of intelligent machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing images, and making decisions chat bots are one of the most popular applications of Al technology, used for customer service, personal assistance, and even entertainment. An AI tool is a software application that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to perform specific tasks and solve problems.

"Basta driver, sweet lover," a short cheesy line makes a tricycle driver known as the roads casanova, the nicest sweet talker, generous person, and someone who will ensure the passenger's safety.
