Article Synopsis
- * A 60-year-old man without prior health conditions experienced first-time generalized seizures and loss of consciousness, prompting a hospital visit where a brain scan revealed calcifications.
- * He was diagnosed with epilepsy due to FD after meeting specific criteria, and he responded positively to antiepileptic medication, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis in similar cases.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the combined impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) on maternal and perinatal health in Ethiopia, identifying their co-occurrence as a significant public health concern.
- Out of 168 studies reviewed, 15 studies with 6,391 participants showed a pooled prevalence of 3.76% for co-existing GDM and PIH, along with a notable association indicating that women with GDM are three times more likely to develop PIH.
- The findings advocate for improved antenatal care programs in Ethiopia to better monitor and manage both GDM and PIH, aimed at enhancing health outcomes for mothers and infants.
Article Synopsis
- - The systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the occurrence and influencing factors of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in diabetic patients in Ethiopia, analyzing data from various scientific databases between April 15-29, 2023.
- - The study included 19 articles with a total of 6498 participants, revealing a pooled DKA prevalence of 30.92% among these patients, with significant statistical variability among the studies.
- - The research concluded that there was no evidence of publication bias affecting the results, highlighting a notable level of DKA occurrence in Ethiopian diabetes patients that warrants further attention and intervention.
Background: Cancer has been the leading cause of death worldwide with its various enormous socio-economic impacts. Hence, early palliative care implementation is a potent addition to oncology for the treatment of physical, mental, and psychological pain in cancer patients. Therefore, this article aims to assess the prevalence of patients requiring palliative care and its associated factors among admitted cancer patients.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe investigated in this paper the sensing performance of inherently conductive polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), functionalized with hemin (iron protoporphyrin) as an electrocatalytic reporter. The sensing platform is prepared by electrodeposition of a composite film of hemin-PEDOT on a 30-microm diameter carbon fiber electrode (CFE). The polymerized films were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which pointed to nanostructured films with tortuous pores.
