Cecal volvulus and nonrotation: two rare pathologic entities as culprits of intestinal obstruction-a case report.

Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of acute abdomen, accounting for 1%-3% of intestinal obstructions, and is seldom associated with intestinal nonrotation. Early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes, as shown in the case of a 53-year-old male with a 24-hour history of constipation, bloating, colicky pain, and bilious vomiting. He exhibited signs of severe illness, including tachycardia, fever, and abdominal distention, with blood tests showing acute inflammation.

Successful endoscopic removal of sewing needle and flat metal: a case report.

Emergency gastroenterology evaluations related to complaints of foreign body ingestion are relatively common. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) to be excreted in the feces. But sharp foreign bodies may be difficult to pass naturally without intervention and can cause devastating, risky complications without urgent management.

Background: Unmet need for family planning (FP) refers to the proportion of women who are fecund, sexually active, and wish to delay or limit childbearing but are not using any effective contraceptive method. Unmet need for FP remains a significant public health concern, particularly among young women aged 15-24 years. This study explores the determinants of unmet need for FP among young women.

Proximate composition, microbial quality and heavy metal concentration of fresh Nile tilapia fillet in Lake Tana, Ethiopia.

Nowadays, consumption of fish is becoming a public health concern due to quality and safety issues.

Fifteen samples were collected and analyzed.

Adolescents' Sexual Reproductive Health Service Utilization and Associated Factors Among Bahir Dar City High School Students, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

All across the world, youths struggle with a variety of health issues. Adolescents everywhere are entering puberty earlier and engaging in more premarital sex. There was limited evidence about the current adolescent sexual reproductive health (RH) service utilization status and its associated factors in the study area, especially after the occurrence of COVID-19 and the war between the Ethiopian federal government and Tigray regional forces.

Healthcare providers' pain management practice and its associated factors in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta- analysis.

Introduction: Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Under -treatment of pain continues to be a major health care problem in Ethiopia. Although it has this problem, it receives limited research attention.

Histopathology based study of Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) as a biomarker for water pollution evaluation in the southern gulf of Lake Tana, Ethiopia.

In the past decade, the increasing distribution of pollutants in the aquatic environment has been observed, causing integrative effects on fish. Likewise, due to anthropogenic activities, the southern gulf of Lake Tana is an impacted region, and the production of Nile tilapia fish is reduced. For this reason, the aim of this study was to conduct a histopathological-based study of 48 Nile tilapia fishes' health status at the southern gulf of Lake Tana and aquaculture using a cross-sectional study from February 2023 to May 2023.

Radiographic Assessment of Pelvic Inlet and Outlet View Angles in the Ethiopian Population.

Background: Accurate radiographic assessment is pivotal in evaluating trauma patients with suspected pelvic ring disruptions. The conventional approach of using anteroposterior, 45° inlet, and 45° outlet radiographs for the evaluation of pelvic injury may not consistently align with varying lumbopelvic anatomy. This study aimed to determine the ideal pelvic inlet and outlet radiographic angles when there is limited access to advanced imaging (e.

Acute brachial artery occlusion following cisplatin-based chemotherapy: case report.

Thromboembolism is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in cancer patients. While the link between cancer and venous thrombosis is well known, the recognition of arterial thrombosis as a serious complication of cancer and chemotherapeutic agents is a recent development. One of the chemotherapy agents frequently linked to acute vascular events is cisplatin.

Prevalence of dental caries and associated factors among primary school children in Ethiopia: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Dental caries (decay or cavities) is the breakdown of teeth as a result of bacteria. Dental caries is one of the most preventable oral health problems and the most common chronic disease in primary school children. Poor dental and oral health affects the quality of children's lives.

Uncommon Variants in and Are Associated with Atopic Dermatitis in the Ethiopian Population.

Loss-of-function variants in the gene have been identified as the strongest cause of susceptibility to atopic dermatitis (AD) in Europeans and Asians. However, very little is known about the genetic etiology behind AD in African populations, where the prevalence of AD is notably high. We sought to investigate the genetic origins of AD by performing whole-genome sequencing in an Ethiopian family with 12 individuals and several affected in different generations.

Fear of violence and working department influences physical aggression level among nurses in northwest Ethiopia government health facilities.

Purpose: Violence is recognized as an extreme expression of aggressive behavior and physical violence is most recognized type among victims. Patients always come to the hospitals looking for a cure, remedy, or assurance; however, incompatibility of demand and service often results in violent incidents that become statuesque in health facilities. This study aims to investigate physical violence and associated factors among nurses in health facilities in Gondar town, Ethiopia.

Research Design And Methods: Analysis of a unique case register, comprising all patients (rural and urban) presenting with Type 1 diabetes over a 20 yr.

Cystic Fibrosis in an Adolescent: A "Miranda Warning" Against Blaming TB-A Case-Based Scholarly Update.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disorder that occurs as a result of autosomal recessive congenital transmission of CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene mutation on chromosome 7. Because it is considered a disease of the Caucasian pediatric population or due to lack of awareness, it is rarely considered in developing countries like ours. This case report presents the first case of cystic fibrosis ever reported in Ethiopia and possibly East Africa, that of a 17-year-old female diagnosed with the disease following a CT scan of her abdomen and chest.
