Receptor tyrosine kinases and steroid hormone receptors in breast cancer: .

Breast cancer development and progression are driven by intricate networks involving receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and steroid hormone receptors specifically estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). This review examined roles of each receptor under normal physiology and in breast cancer, and explored their multifaceted interactions via signaling pathways, focusing on their contributions to breast cancer progression. Since defining the mechanism by which these two-receptor mediated signaling pathways cooperate is essential for understanding breast cancer progression, we discussed the mechanisms of cross-talk between RTKs and ER and PR and their potential therapeutic implications as well.

Surgical outcome and predictors of neonates with esophageal atresia admitted at Tikur Anbesa Specialized Hospital.

Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is the most common congenital anomaly of the esophagus. This anomaly continues to cause considerable morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa, presenting various concerns about how to treat esophageal atresia. Esophageal atresia-related neonatal mortality can be reduced by evaluating the surgical outcome and identifying associated factors.

Spatiotemporal distribution and determinants of overweight or obesity among urban women in Ethiopia: a multivariate decomposition analysis.

Background: Overweight /obesity is a global public health concern. It is higher among women than men in most continents of the world. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and determinants of changes in overweight/obesity over time among urban women in Ethiopia.

Knowledge, attitude, acceptance, and practice of COVID-19 vaccination and associated factors complemented with constructs of health belief model among the general public in South Gondar, Ethiopia: A community-based study.

Introduction: Understanding the epidemiological dynamics of disease control, as well as the effectiveness, compliance, and success of the vaccination program requires an understanding of the local population's knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice toward COVID-19 vaccination and associated factors among the general public.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the South Gondar Zone, among residents above the age of 18 years.

Endogenous advanced glycation end products in the pathogenesis of chronic diabetic complications.

Diabetes is a common metabolic illness characterized by hyperglycemia and is linked to long-term vascular problems that can impair the kidney, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels. By increasing protein glycation and gradually accumulating advanced glycation end products in the tissues, hyperglycemia plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Advanced glycation end products are heterogeneous molecules generated from non-enzymatic interactions of sugars with proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids the glycation process.

Magnitude of postpartum hemorrhage and associated factors among women who gave birth in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly in resource-limited countries such as Ethiopia. Findings from a few studies were inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, this study aimed to estimates the pooled magnitude of PPH and factors associated with PPH among women who gave birth in Ethiopia.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms in diabetic heart failure: Potential therapeutic targets.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a worldwide health issue that can lead to a variety of complications. DM is a serious metabolic disorder that causes long-term microvascular and macro-vascular complications, as well as the failure of various organ systems. Diabetes-related cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including heart failure cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.

COVID-19 vaccine uptake and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Debre Tabor public health institutions: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Vaccination is the best means of reducing the increased risk of severe COVID-19 during pregnancy. Data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women in Ethiopia is scarce. Thus, this study aimed to assess COVID-19 vaccine uptake and associated factors among pregnant women.

The structure, biosynthesis, and biological roles of fetuin-A: A review.

Fetuin-A is a heterodimeric plasma glycoprotein containing an A-chain of 282 amino acids and a B-chain of 27 amino acid residues linked by a single inter-disulfide bond. It is predominantly expressed in embryonic cells and adult hepatocytes, and to a lesser extent in adipocytes and monocytes. Fetuin-A binds with a plethora of receptors and exhibits multifaceted physiological and pathological functions.

Role of Fetuin-A in the Pathogenesis of Psoriasis and Its Potential Clinical Applications.

Fetuin-A is a plasma glycoprotein exhibiting multifaceted physiological and pathological functions. It has been determined to be involved in various essential biological functions, such as regulation of calcium metabolism, osteogenesis, and insulin signaling pathway. It also plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of several disorders, including psoriasis.

Internet Addiction and Its Associated Factors Among African High School and University Students: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Internet addiction is characterized by excessive and uncontrolled use of the internet affecting everyday life. Adolescents are the primary risk group for internet addiction. Data on internet addiction is lacking in Africa.

Overweight and/or obesity and its determinants among under-five children in East African countries: A multilevel analysis using Bayesian approach.

Introduction: Childhood overweight and/or obesity become a significant public health problem in the 21 century. It is a double burden next to undernutrition and has a dramatic rise in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of overweight and/or obesity and its determinants among under-five children in East African Countries.

Factors Associated with Numbers of Antenatal Care Visits in Rural Ethiopia.

Introduction: Antenatal care (ANC) is a medical care and procedure carried out for pregnant women. Data on ANC visits can help policymakers show gaps in service provision. Therefore, this study assessed the factors associated with the number of ANC visits among women in rural Ethiopia.
