- Pelvic abscess - to drain or not to drain? [Journal Article]Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol. 2023 May 29 [Online ahead of print]CO
- CONCLUSIONS: We present the current knowledge on management of pelvic abscesses to help guide clinical practice supported by the most recent evidence. We report the lack of high-quality evidence for many aspects of pelvic abscess treatment and call for well designed large multicentre RCTs to answer the question of which treatment yields the best outcomes.

- Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants through pandemic waves using RT-PCR testing in low-resource settings. [Journal Article]PLOS Glob Public Health. 2023; 3(6):e0001896.PG
- COVID-19 resulted in extensive morbidity and mortality worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 evolved rapidly, with increasing transmission due to Variants of Concern (VOC). Identifying VOC became important but genome submissions from low-middle income countries (LMIC) remained low leading to gaps in genomic epidemiology. We demonstrate the use of a specific mutation RT-PCR based approach to identify VOC in SARS-…

- The Effectiveness of Face Masks in Preventing COVID-19 Transmission: A Systematic Review. [Journal Article]Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2023 Jun 01 [Online ahead of print]ID
- CONCLUSIONS: Face masks have a beneficial effect against COVID-19. Home masks are less protective than surgical masks or N95 personal breathing masks. Besides, the use of masks may elicit a false sense of security in people, which may lead to poor hand hygiene and violation of social distancing. Therefore, the necessary training should be provided to the public to increase awareness and encourage the right practice of using the mask, emphasizing the preventive effects of washing hands, social distancing, and using a face mask against COVID-19.
