Accuracy of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology in evaluation of thyroid nodules using different ultrasonographic and cytological features.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a reliable method for preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules particularly if ultrasound-guided (USG-FNAC). The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of USG-FNAC and its accuracy.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 212 thyroidectomy cases with preoperative ultrasonography and FNAC data during the period 2015-2022 using TI-RADS for final ultrasound diagnosis and Bethesda system for cytological diagnosis.

Perinatal Birth Asphyxia Among Newborns at Jiblah Public Health Hospital in Ibb City, Yemen, During Six Years of Conflict and Its Predictive Factors: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Birth asphyxia is a major cause of infant death across the world, especially in developing countries, where the issue is significantly underreported and underestimated, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected states.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for birth asphyxia in women at Jiblah University Hospital in Ibb, Yemen, and its predictive factors throughout six years of conflict.

Method: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional chart review and analysis of the birth database spanning from June 2013 to September 2019 at Jiblah University Hospital in Ibb, Yemen.

Maternal Mortality Over a Seven-Year Period of Conflict at Jiblah Referral Hospital in Ibb City, Yemen: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background Fragile and conflict-affected states contribute to more than 60% of the global burden of maternal mortality. There is an alarming need for research exploring maternal health service access, quality, and adaptive responses during armed conflict. This study aims to review all cases of maternal mortality during a seven-year period of conflict at Jiblah Referral Hospital, Ibb, Yemen.

Comparison of different rapid screening tests and ELISA for HBV, HCV, and HIV among healthy blood donors and recipients at Jibla University Hospital Yemen.

Blood transfusion is associated with many risks, especially exposure to blood transfusion-transmitted infections considered one of the main causes of death worldwide, including hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The threat posed by blood-borne pathogens is disproportionately high, especially in developing countries, so there is a need for continuous monitoring of blood transfusions to prevent transmitting diseases. Rapid diagnostic immunochromatographic technique (ICT) methods are the most widely used methods in developing countries, although ELISA and molecular testing are considered more accurate worldwide.
