In the digital transformation era, enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud technologies to enhance agility and harness the power of data. This abstract explores the integration of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Workday to create a synergistic and data-driven enterprise ecosystem. By combining the robust infrastructure of AWS with the human capital management capabilities of Workday, organizations can achieve unprecedented levels of flexibility, efficiency, and innovation.

Objective: To determine the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio compared to serum bilirubin levels as a predictor of severity in acute appendicitis. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive study was conducted in patients admitted for acute appendicitis to compare the positive predictive value of complicated acute appendicitis using the neutrophil-lymphocyte index, with a cutoff point of 3, compared to total serum bilirubin levels with a cutoff point greater than 1.0 mg/dl.

Background: Globally, approximately 18 million adolescents get pregnant annually. This global health problem is notably common in developing African countries than in developed countries. The effects of adolescent pregnancy, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, are detrimental. Adolescent pregnancy has been linked to high maternal and neonatal morbidities and mortalities, vicious poverty, high school dropout rates, and increased financial burden in respective governments.

Objective: To determine the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of severity in acute appendicitis. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, retrospective, and descriptive study was conducted on patients admitted for acute appendicitis to determine the predictive value of severity using the neutrophil-lymphocyte index (ratio of total neutrophils to total lymphocytes) with a cut-off point of 3. Other observed variables included sex, age, comorbidities, and surgical findings.

Preconception health care is the medical care a person receives from heath team members for better outcome in pregnancy. The objective of prenatal diagnosis and counselling is to reduce complications by identifying the risk factors early. Through proper prenatal diagnosis helps to reduce maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity rate. Prenatal diagnosis helps the couple to take prompt treatment to avoid complications in pregnancy. Couples have to be educate about the importance of antenatal visit and different measures for identify risk factors.

Aim: To determine the radiological presentation, management and outcomes of patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (PSICH) referred for neurosurgical management in Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH). Patients and Methods: This was a 6-month prospective study of 45 patients referred to the CMJAH Neurosurgical Unit with a Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage.

Aim: To determine the demographics and clinical presentation of patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (PSICH) referred for neurosurgical management. Patients and Methods: Consecutive patients (45) with a Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed diagnosis of PSICH over a 6-month were recruited for the study. Results: The patients were 13 (28.89%) females and 32 (71.11%) males. The mean age was 52 ± 11.44 yrs. There were 32 (71.11%) black patients, 8 (17.78%) Whites, 4 (8.89%) Coloured and 1 (2.22%) Indian.

Previous studies using intermittent energy restriction in overweight and obese people have demonstrated it to be an effective intervention in achieving weight loss, when compared to continuous energy restriction. Objective: We anticipate that intermittent fasting (IF) in the Malaysian population may be an effective intervention for the management of diabetes. We describe a protocol for a randomized controlled trial of intermittent fasting in Primary Care Clinics in Malaysia of 18 months’ duration, comparing 3 and 5 days of IF to usual care.

Spontaneous regression of malignant tumors occurs very rarely. Although this has been noted and described by many observers over the years, its cause and mechanism remain unknown. In my opinion the antigenic makeup of the malignant tumor changes from “self” to “foreign” as a result of exposure to a foreign biological agent due to a clinical or subclinical infection and that sets the stage for its rejection by the immune system. Based on this theory I have devised and introduced a new method of treating cancer that would provide customized therapy for each patient.

Work-life balance can be defined as maintaining equilibrium between work and non-work activities. A great concern facing any organization regardless of its size or purpose is its ability to achieve the desired objectives. An imperative factor that has the power to enhance or hinder this ability is the performance of its employees. Human resource management faces a critical issue that deeply threatens the performance of employees and that is work life balance.
