BACKGROUND: Despite progress in reducing maternal and child mortality, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) still experience an unacceptably high level of the problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently recommended pregnant women should have at least eight antenatal care visits (ANC8+) with a trained healthcare provider as a key strategy to promote pregnant women's health. Antenatal care is an imperative factor for subsequent maternal healthcare utilization such as health facility delivery and early postnatal care (EPNC)...

BACKGROUND: Anaemia is a major global public health problem, considerably affects young women in resource limited countries. The available researches on anaemia focused on children, pregnant women, or all women of reproductive age. However, women's biology and life experiences vary dramatically across 15 to 49 years, putting young women bear the higher burden of anaemia, mainly in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Therefore, this study assessed the burden of anaemia among young women (15-24 years) in 24 LMICs which conducted Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) between 2016 and 2021...

BACKGROUND: Diarrhea, the second leading cause of child morbidity and mortality worldwide, is responsible for more than 90% of deaths in children under 5 years of age in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The high burden of diarrhea is mainly attributable to the limited access to improved water and sanitation. However, the impacts of improved sanitation and drinking water in preventing diarrheal diseases are not well understood. Therefore, this study estimated both the independent and joint effects of improved sanitation and water on diarrhea occurrence among rural under-five children in LMICs...

IMPORTANCE: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with persistent, relapsing, or new symptoms or other health effects occurring after acute infection, termed postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as long COVID. Characterizing PASC requires analysis of prospectively and uniformly collected data from diverse uninfected and infected individuals. OBJECTIVE: To develop a definition of PASC using self-reported symptoms and describe PASC frequencies across cohorts, vaccination status, and number of infections...

INTRODUCTION: There is tremendous regional inequalities and low uptake of modern contraceptives particularly among young women (15-24 years), characterized by high fertility but high unmet need for contraceptives in Ethiopia. Hence, the present study aimed at exploring the spatial distribution and the multi-level determinants of modern contraceptive use among young women in Ethiopia. METHODS: This study was conducted using the 2019 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data on a weighted sample of 3,379 young women...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a syndrome encompassing both clinical and radiological manifestations with white matter vasogenic edema predominantly of the posterior and parietal lobes of the brain. It may accompany several medical conditions including immunosuppressive/cytotoxic drugs. We present a case of cyclophosphamide-induced PRES in a patient treated for acute lupus flare with biopsy-proven lupus nephritis. A 23-year-old African American female presented with non-specific symptoms over a six-month period on a medical background of systemic lupus erythematosus and biopsy-proven focal lupus nephritis class III on hydroxychloroquine, prednisone, and mycophenolate mofetil for which she was non-compliant...

Through co-precipitation and post-heat processing, nanostructured Fe-doped Co3 O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were developed. Using the SEM, XRD, BET, FTIR, TGA/DTA, UV-Vis, and techniques were examined. The XRD analysis presented that Co3 O4 and Co3 O4 nanoparticles that had been doped with 0.25 M Fe formed single cubic phase Co3 O4 NPs with average crystallite sizes of 19.37 nm and 14.09 nm, respectively. The as prepared NPs have porous architectures via SEM analyses. The BET surface areas of Co3 O4 and 0...

BACKGROUND: In low-and-middle-income, including Ethiopia, high-risk fertility behavior is a major public health concern. High-risk fertility behavior has an adverse influence on maternal and child health, which hampered efforts to reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the spatial distribution and associated factors of high-risk fertility behavior among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia using recent nationally representative data...

Ag doped Co3 O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via a co-precipitation method changing the concentration of Ag. The crystal structure, morphology, surface area, functional group, optical band gap, and thermal property were investigated by XRD, SEM, BET, FTIR, UV-Vis, and TGA/DTA techniques. The XRD results showed the formation of single-cubic Co3 O4 nanostructured materials with an average crystal size of 19.37 nm and 12.98 nm for pristine Co3 O4 and 0.25 M Ag-doped Co3 O4 NPs. Morphological studies showed that pristine Co3 O4 and 0...

BACKGROUND: Although a safe and effective vaccine is available, measles remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity among young children in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The WHO and UNICEF recommended measles-containing vaccine dose 2 (MCV2) in addition to measles-containing vaccine dose 1 (MCV1) through routine services strategies. Many factors could contribute to the routine dose of MCV2 coverage remaining far below targets in many countries of this region. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of MCV2 utilization among children aged 24-35 months and analyze factors associated with it by using recent nationally representative surveys of SSA countries...

Echocardiography is a useful noninvasive tool to assess cardiac disease and different echocardiographic abnormalities have been seen previously. The aim of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic abnormalities in HIV-infected patients and factors associated with the findings. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 285 patients with HIV infection including collection of clinical and echocardiographic data...

Background: Anti-retroviral treatment has improved mortality of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, which is offset by an increasing burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Data regarding prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in HIV infected patients in Ethiopia are very scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CVD risks and associated factors in patients with HIV. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 333 patients with HIV infection, using a modified World Health Organization's stepwise approach to surveillance questionnaire...

Background: Resistance among the commensal flora is a serious threat because they are highly populated ecosystems like the gut, maybe a source of extraintestinal infections. Infections due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase (CPM)-producing Enterobacteriaceae family of bacteria impose a major global issue because they are usually resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents. Data on the fecal ESBL- and CPM-producing group of bacteria in developing countries including Ethiopia are limited mainly due to resource constraints...

Sickle cell disease (SCD), the most common genetic disorder globally, is often associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTE). Many of these patients have central lines placed for the purposes of repeated medication administration, blood transfusions, and blood draw, further increasing the risk of VTE. Given the non-specific presentation of VTE and pulmonary embolism, as well as the risk of mortality if interventions are delayed, a high index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis of the condition...
