Surgical Site Infections at Shirati KMT Hospital in Northeastern Tanzania.

Despite improved guidelines for surgical practices and better surgical methods and tools, surgical site infection (SSI) is still a common cause of morbidity and mortality with increased rates in resource-limited nations. In Tanzania, there is limited data on SSI and associated risk factors for developing an effective surveillance system for SSI. In this study, we aimed to establish for the first time the baseline SSI rate and its associated factors at the Shirati KMT Hospital in Northeastern Tanzania.

Perceptions of cervical cancer care among Ethiopian women and their providers: a qualitative study.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among Ethiopian women, killing an estimated 4700 women each year. As the government rolls out the country's first national cancer control strategy, information on patient and provider experiences in receiving and providing cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment is critical.

Methods: This qualitative study aimed to assess the availability of cervical cancer care; explore care barriers and sources of delay; and describe women's and providers' perceptions and experiences of care.

Cytokine Storm in COVID-19 Patients, Its Impact on Organs and Potential Treatment by QTY Code-Designed Detergent-Free Chemokine Receptors.

The novel coronavirus is not only causing respiratory problems, but it may also damage the heart, kidneys, liver, and other organs; in Wuhan, 14 to 30% of COVID-19 patients have lost their kidney function and now require either dialysis or kidney transplants. The novel coronavirus gains entry into humans by targeting the ACE2 receptor that found on lung cells, which destroy human lungs through cytokine storms, and this leads to hyperinflammation, forcing the immune cells to destroy healthy cells. This is why some COVID-19 patients need intensive care.

Background: Nipah belongs to the genus and the . It is an endemic most commonly found at South Asia and has first emerged in Malaysia in 1998. Bats are found to be the main reservoir for this virus, causing disease in both humans and animals.

Knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer in Southwestern Ethiopia is lacking: A descriptive analysis.

Purpose: Cervical cancer remains the second most common cancer and cancer-related death among women in Ethiopia. This is the first study, to our knowledge, describing the demographic, and clinicopathologic characteristics of cervical cancer cases in a mainly rural, Southwestern Ethiopian population with a low literacy rate to provide data on the cervical cancer burden and help guide future prevention and intervention efforts.

Methods: A descriptive analysis of 154 cervical cancer cases at the Jimma University Teaching Hospital in Southwestern Ethiopia from January 2008 -December 2010 was performed.

Prevalence and predictors of Pap smear cervical epithelial cell abnormality among HIV-positive and negative women attending gynecological examination in cervical cancer screening center at Debre Markos referral hospital, East Gojjam, Northwest Ethiopia.

Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death among women in developing countries. Cervical cancer is preceded by cervical surface epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) which can be detected by Pap smear test. Simultaneous human papillomavirus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection increases cervical cancer.
