A recent study published in Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences introduces a privacy-preserving visual analytics framework based on complex single-valued neutrosophic sets for analysing fully encrypted high-dimensional data. The approach combines cotangent similarity measures, encrypted three-dimensional parallel coordinates, 3D t-SNE visualisation, and encrypted Pearson correlation heatmaps. The results showed that encryption introduced only small, controlled changes while preserving important similarity patterns, variance structures, class relationships, and correlations. This means that key geometric and relational features of sensitive datasets can still be analysed without exposing the original numerical values. The proposed framework offers potential for secure similarity analysis, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and privacy-preserving decision-support applications while maintaining analytical accuracy.

A recent study published in African Scientific Reports assessed whether the involvement of health insurance medical advisors under the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s free maternity care policy was associated with better partograph documentation in maternity units of the Lemba Health Zone. Using 844 partographs from 12 maternity units, the researchers compared documentation before and after introduction of the policy and audit mechanism. The number of criteria reaching at least 75% compliance increased from 23 to 31 out of 34. Major improvements were seen in laboratory documentation, integration of the partograph into medical records, recording of amniotic fluid characteristics, and immediate postpartum monitoring. However, fetal position and level of the presenting part remained insufficiently documented, highlighting the continued need for stronger clinical skills and obstetric documentation training.
