This study aims to investigate the degree of penetration, permanence of occlusion, and vascular changes induced by a newly modified mixture of n-butyl cyanoacrylate (Glubran 2), ethanol, and Lipidol (GEL) in the endovascular treatment of experimental aneurysms induced in swine. Bilateral pouch aneurysms were created in the wall of the internal carotid artery in eighteen pigs. The sixteen aneurysms were treated with a new mixture of GEL with different component proportions.

These tumors are characterized by their potential for late recurrence and complex management, which presents significant challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options is restricted. This study highlights a series of rare AGCT cases diagnosed in premenopausal and postmenopausal women in Northern Tanzania.

- About 52.5% of the 253 women studied at a Tanzanian hospital underwent repeated caesarean sections (RCS), highlighting a significant occurrence of this surgical delivery method in the region.
- The study found a 56.5% overall complication rate, which was notably higher (67.1%) for women having RCS compared to first-time CS deliveries (32.9%).
- Sepsis was the only complication independently linked to RCS deliveries, with a high adjusted odds ratio (aOR=11.3), prompting calls for healthcare providers to implement preventive strategies to reduce unnecessary primary CS.
Article Synopsis
- Maasai people in Tanzania are struggling to feed their children due to a decrease in grazing land for cattle, leading them to seek family planning methods to manage their families better.
- An interactive voice response calling platform (Embiotishu) was developed to enhance communication about family planning and improve knowledge and access among the Maasai community and healthcare workers.
- A study showed a significant increase in contraceptive knowledge and clinic visits among participants after using the platform, indicating its effectiveness in promoting family planning practices.
Extra-uterine leiomyoma (EUL) is extremely rare and due to its unusual location, results into diagnostic dilemma and due to its unusual location may lead to surgical complication as in this case. We present a case of large broad ligament leiomyoma in a 40-year-old premenauposal that was excised with challenges.
