A large type IV-A choledochal cyst mimicking hydatid cyst of the liver: A case report.

Introduction: Choledochal cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the bile ducts, with adult presentations being uncommon. This case is notable for its atypical presentation in a young adult, mimicking a hydatid cyst in a region where echinococcosis is endemic.

Case Presentation: A 22-year-old female presented with a 3-month history of progressive jaundice, accompanied by 5 months of epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, pale stools, pruritus, and significant weight loss.

Decoding gene expression dynamics during seed development in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) through RNA-Seq analysis.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 2× = 26) from the Pedaliaceae family is primarily grown for its high oil content, rich in unsaturated fatty acids like linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). However, the molecular mechanisms of sesame oil accumulation remain poorly understood.

Spectrum of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract in a pediatric nephrology clinic in Ethiopia and factors associated with advanced chronic kidney disease: A cross-sectional study.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant health concern for children with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). To address the limited data on CKD prevalence and risk factors in Ethiopia, this study focuses on a specific cohort of CAKUT patients at the pediatric renal unit of Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital. We aim to determine the prevalence of CKD in Ethiopian CAKUT patients, identify independent predictors of advanced stage CKD, and explore the distribution of CKD among different CAKUT phenotypes.

Assessment of abdominal obesity prevalence and determinants among adults in southwest Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Abdominal obesity, excess fat around the abdomen, is more harmful than other fat types and is a key diagnostic criterion for metabolic syndrome. It poses a growing global public health concern. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of and determinants of abdominal obesity among adults in southwest Ethiopia.
