The ecological functioning of the riparian zone was investigated in the Menoua sub-watershed of the Mount Bamboutos landscape, Cameroon. Five transects of 1 km each were laid along five rivers to investigate the ecological functioning of the streams. Each transect received a score for the functioning of the riparian zone according to the RSRA method. The scoring for the functioning of the riparian zones was based on 3 parameters (water quality, Hydro-geomorphology and Fish/Habitat diversity). Ri...

Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS), also known as hemophagocytic syndrome, is a rare and severe condition characterized by excessive activation of macrophages in the bone marrow and lymphoid organs, leading to hemophagocytosis and hypercytokinemia. MAS can be primary, primarily affecting children with hereditary immune disorders, or secondary, triggered by infections, malignancies, or autoimmune diseases. We report a case of secondary MAS that developed post-delivery in a 40-year-old multiparo...

This study presented and analyzed the fractional order model for co-infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and COVID-19 by adopting the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in Caputo sense. The solution’s boundedness and non-negativity are derived by applying the Laplace transform of the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in Caputo sense. We established the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the proposed model using Atangana-Baleanu Caputo Integral, and Banach fixed point theorem. The disease-...
