Purpose: Lack of access to safe and affordable anesthesia and monitoring equipment may contribute to higher rates of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While capnography is standard in high-income countries, use in LMICs is not well studied. We evaluated the association of capnography use with patient and procedure-related characteristics, as well as the association of capnography use and mortality in a cohort of patients from Kenya and Ethiopia.

We sought to describe associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and surgical care and outcomes at 2 tertiary hospitals in Ethiopia.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study analyzing perioperative data collected electronically from Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (ACSH) in Mekelle, Ethiopia, and Tibebe Ghion Specialized Hospital (TGSH) in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- Eukaryotic cells store lipids, like cholesterol/sterol esters (SEs) and triacylglycerols (TAGs), in structures called lipid droplets, which develop from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
- * The study found that SE-enriched lipid droplets mostly form at the cell tips, far from the nucleus, while TAG-enriched droplets assemble around the nucleus, influenced by specific metabolic processes.
- * The findings suggest that the model of lipid droplet formation, which treated SEs and TAGs as interchangeable, may need revision to account for their distinct sources and behaviors within the cell.
