Sugarcane Agro-Industrial Health and Safety with Particular Focus on Sudan: A Systematic Literature Review
Sugarcane is a vital cash crop grown in about 200 tropical and sub-tropical countries around the world. Due to its high rates
of occupational diseases, accidents, and fatalities the agro industry is regarded as one of the most hazardous industries despite being one of the essential sectors globally regarding food supply and workforce. Most of the world's cane sugar crop is
produced In Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), such as Sudan, where agriculture and farming are still the main
sources of income and managing occupational health and safety is challenging

A Review of the Effects of Intensive Poultry Production on the Environment and Human Health
Poultry farming is widely recognized as a highly efficient technique of animal husbandry, contributing significantly to the
nutritional security of a substantial portion of the global population. The application of contemporary intensive farming
methods has facilitated a notable increase in global production, which has reached a substantial quantity of 137.8 million
tons in the year 2021. This upward trajectory has been consistently observed over successive years. However, these aggressive growth tactics result in a substantial environmental impact. The appropriate management of waste items, such as poultry litter and manure, is crucial due to their potential to significantly impact both environmental and human health. The
emissions of ammonia, nitrous oxide, and methane are associated with poultry production and the disposal of its waste by-products. These emissions have significant implications for global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the well-being of
both animals and humans

Perspectives of Artificial Intelligence in Veterinary Medicine of Small Species
Alan Turing and John McCarthy (1950-1955) coined the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) 70 years ago. Today AI is a reality for some areas of medicine, both human and veterinary, and other technological areas. Materializing into a transformative force within the new human, animal and ecological reality of preservation and sustainable development.
The Challenge of Rapid Data Collection and Health Promotion: A Quick and Easy Approach
Rapid data collection can provide an insight into causation, the socio-cultural reality, and complex social processes. This is
especially important in disease outbreaks when information is quickly required on local needs that is essential for success.
Quantitative data alone are not sufficient to provide an in-depth understanding. The challenge is to use a rapid data collection
approach that can provide practical solutions by integrating the available evidence, professional expertise, and stakeholder
experiences. This viewpoint reflects the opinions of the author that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of rapid
data collection and the presentation of an approach that can be implemented with minimal interference in a health promotion
and healthcare program context

Advanced Oxidation Plasma Air Purification to Mitigate Hospital and Restroom Odor Issues
Background: The smell in a hospital is an amalgam of smells, emanating from varied sources. But primarily the smell is from the strong cleaning agents used in corridors, including phenyl and bleaching powder, etc. Chemicals that trigger odors may cause health effects. A strong urine odor is also responsible for foul smells in hospitals and other public facilities. Strong odors may cause some people to feel a burning sensation, leading to coughing, wheezing, or other breathing problems.

The Role of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the Treatment of Insomnia
Insomnia is a frequent condition that can be acute, intermittent, or chronic. It is an unpleasant feeling that makes it difficult to fall asleep. The main aim of the review is to determine the adverse effects of Insomnia drugs and the need to opt for Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approach as an adjuvant in treating Insomnia condition with lesser- known side effects. The Methodology involved a detailed literature survey which was performed through an online database, such as Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane, and PubMed. The study included original research and book chapters conducted on relation with Insomnia in particular with various therapies used currently and aimed to find possible alternative source which will be effective in treatment as well as with less burden of side effects
Percutaneous Pigtail Catheters for Management of Neonatal Pneumothorax: A Better Alternative to Chest Tube Thoracostomy
Background: Pneumothorax is potentially a life-threatening condition in neonates with little compensatory pulmonary
reserve. Hemodynamically significant pneumothorax requires drainage with large-bore chest tubes, and more recently
with small-calibre percutaneous pigtail catheters.
This study aims to explicate the effectiveness and safety of both the drainage systems exploring ease of insertion, rates of
air-leak resolution, recurrence rates as well as potential procedural complications.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational audit reviewing medical records of newborns with symptomatic pneumothorax admitted to tertiary neonatal intensive care unit over 4-year duration, and treated with either chest tube or
pigtail catheters as the initial treatment approach. Demographic data, details related to pneumothorax, drain related parameters as well as outcome and efficacy parameters were compared among these two methods of intervention.
Results: Out of 51 drainage procedures, 27 infants underwent pigtail insertion compared to 24 infants requiring chest
tube thoracostomy. Baseline demographic data, time for radiological clearance and resolution of air leak, duration of drain
in-situ, recurrence and complication rate, as well as hospitalisation duration were comparable among the two groups.
Group of infants who underwent pigtail insertion required significantly less sedation (51.9% vs 83.3%; p=0.021) and
invasive ventilation (63% vs 95.8%; p=0.011) than chest tube insertion. Significantly smaller calibre (8.22±1.6Fr vs
9.08±1.44Fr; p<0.05) catheter was required for pneumothorax drainage with pigtail catheter whose insertion was reported
to be more operator friendly
