: Schistosomiasis continues to be a major public health concern in Ethiopia. Eliminating the intermediate host snails is an effective and cost-efficient strategy for preventing and controlling schistosomiasis transmission. However, chemical molluscicides have limitations due to their toxicity to nontarget aquatic organisms, environmental concerns, and the development of resistance.

Methods: A prospective hospital-based surveillance for CDI, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, was carried out from July 2019 to March 2022 for all inpatients aged more than one year in Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Results: A total of 139 cases of CDI were identified during the survey among 130 patients admitted in the hospital.
Introduction and objectives Liver transplantation and its indications represent an increased burden on patients' health. This can be represented in a variety of ways, such as in emergency visits, unscheduled clinic visits, and unanticipated admissions. This study aims to analyze emergency department (ED) visits, the most common presenting complaints, and the outcomes of those visits.

The conversion of solar radiation into thermal energy is an area of significant interest as the demand for renewable heat and power continues to grow. Due to their enhanced ability to promote heat transmission, nanofluids can significantly contribute to enhancing the efficiency of solar-thermal systems.
