A rare presentation of urolithiasis in a child with urine retention from a nonendemic area: a case report and literature review.

Unlabelled: Even though urolithiasis in general is not uncommon, urethral stones have an incidence of less than 0.3% and are 20 times less common in children. Though cases of urethral stones have been reported in children from endemic areas, they are even rarer in countries like Uganda that are not endemic for urolithiasis.

24 h mortality and its predictors among road traffic accident victims in a resource limited setting; a multicenter cohort study.

Introduction: The incidence of road traffic accidents (RTAs) is on the rise contributing to the global burden of mortality as a major global health threat. It has been estimated that 93% of RTAs and more than 90% of the resulting deaths occur in low and middle income countries. Though death due to RTAs has been occurring at an alarming rate, there is paucity of data relating to incidence and predictors of early mortality.
