Abstract: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep, leading to intermittent hypoxia, fragmented sleep, and increased cardiovascular and metabolic risks. With rising global prevalence, OSA poses a significant public health burden.....

Abstract: Background: Alveolar ridge resorption following tooth loss can result in inadequate bone width, compromising esthetics and implant placement in the anterior region. Ridge augmentation using autogenous bone grafts, particularly from the mandibular symphysis, provides a predictable solution with excellent biocompatibility and regenerative potential.....

Abstract: Rabies is a uniformly fatal viral zoonosis that continues to be a significant public health challenge in endemic regions. Neuroimaging, while not diagnostic, provides valuable supportive evidence, particularly in atypical or paralytic presentations where clinical suspicion may be delayed. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with paralytic rabies who developed ascending quadriparesis and encephalopathy despite receiving four doses of anti-rabies vaccine but.....

Abstract: Introduction Despite the growing evidence suggesting a link between Vitamin D and insulin resistance, there exists controversies and conflicting study findings on the efficacy of Vitamin D supplementation on improving insulin resistance and glycemic control in women living with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Objectives The objective of the study was to determine the ameliorating effects of Vitamin D on Cytokines as markers of insulin resistance and glycemic status in PCOS patients attending Mediheal Fertility Center and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital...
