Pattern and outcome of the first manifestation of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Cameroon: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a paucity of data on the pattern of first manifestation of CVD and the outcome among patients with T2DM in Cameroon.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the pattern of the first manifestation of CVD and the outcome among patients with T2DM.

Magnitude, associated factors of difficult airway, and predictive value of airway examinations among maxillofacial surgery patients at public hospitals in Southern Ethiopia: a multicentre cross-sectional study.

Background: "Difficult airway" is the clinical situation in which a conventionally trained anesthesiologist experiences difficulty with mask ventilation, laryngoscopy, and difficulty with tracheal intubation, or both. Associated factors and predictive value difficult airways, maxillofacial surgery study setup is under studied.

Objective: To determine the magnitude and associated factors of difficult airways and predictive value of airway examinations among adult patients who underwent maxillofacial surgery at public hospitals in Southern Ethiopia 2022.

Comparison of the hemodynamic changes between preeclamptic and normotensive parturients who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia at North Showa zone public hospitals, Oromia region, Ethiopia, 2022: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Spinal anaesthesia complicates maternal hemodynamic and may expose the parturient to dangerous cardiovascular problems. Up to 7% to 89.2% of pregnant women can suffer from spinal anaesthesia-related hypotension.

Gender Differences in Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Clinical Presentation, and Outcome of Patients Admitted with a Hypertensive Crisis at the Buea Regional Hospital, Cameroon.

Background: Several recent studies have shown differences in the risk profile and outcome of cardiovascular diseases between men and women, with a dearth of data from African populations. This study aimed to examine gender differences in a group of patients from Cameroon hospitalized with a hypertensive crisis.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from June 2018 until June 2019.

Availability of PPEs and training status of health professionals on COVID-19 in Silte Zone, Southern Ethiopia.

Introduction: recent infectious disease outbreaks like COVID-19 highlights the importance of personal protective equipments and competent professionals on public health preparedness and response in health care systems. Hence, understanding availability of personal protective equipments and training status of health professionals is very important to fill the gap of COVID-19 preparedness and response. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess availability and adequacy of personal protective equipments and health professional's training status on COVID-19 in Silte Zone, southern Ethiopia.

Mapping human health risk from exposure to potential toxic metal contamination in groundwater of Lower Dir, Pakistan: Application of multivariate and geographical information system.

The study aimed to assess the physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolve solid (TDS), oxidation reduction potential (ORP), Temperature) and potential toxic metals (PTMs), including Ni, Mn, Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, Co, Fe and Zn in the groundwater of Lower Dir, Pakistan. Furthermore, the pollution sources and spatial distribution pattern of PTMs were also investigated via principal component analysis (PCA) and geographic information system (GIS) application to understand the changing behaviors of PTMs in groundwater. The average concentrations of physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, ORP and Temperature were 7.
