Bacterial etiologies, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and associated factors among patients with otitis media referred to Nekemte Public Health Research and Referral Laboratory Center, Western Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Otitis media is among the leading causes of illnesses responsible for causing hearing problems and adding significant costs to the public health system. Bacteria are the most common causative agents for otitis media. Currently, there is little information on the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of pathogenic bacterial isolates from patients with otitis media in Ethiopia.

Integrated Care for People Living With Rare Disease: A Scoping Review on Primary Care Models in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Countries.

Introduction/objectives: Individually rare, rare diseases are collectively common resulting in frequent health system use. Navigating the health system persists as a challenge. Primary care provides longitudinal contact with the health system and is placed to provide integrated rare-disease-care.

Crystal structure and piezoelectric properties of 0.79(NaBi)TiO-0.05BaTiO-0.16(KBi)TiO ceramics prepared by solid-state method.

The solid-state reaction technique was employed to synthesize lead-free ceramics, specifically (1-x-y)(NaBi)TiO-xBaTiO-y(KBi)TiO. For attaining a pure perovskite phase, it was found that the optimal calcination temperature is 1000 °C, maintained for a duration of 4 h. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) was detected in (1-x-y)NBT-xBT-yKBT ceramics for certain molar compositions, specifically in 0.

The Impact of the Fruit and Seed of Date on Childbirth Stages and Pregnancy Complications.

This review aimed to investigate the effects of date fruit products on childbirth and pregnancy-related complications. MeSH keywords were systematically searched in scientific databases, and 16 articles were reviewed. It was found that consuming 7 date fruits (average of 80 g) per day for 2-4 weeks before the estimated date of delivery leads to a better cervical dilatation at admission or improvement of Bishop score, a decrease in the need for induction or stimulation of labour and an increase in effective uterine contractions, which, in turn, decreases the duration of pregnancy and the different stages of labour.
