Prevalence and predictors of postpartum anemia after caesarean delivery in Ethiopia: A retrospective analysis of risk factors.

Background: Despite the burden of anemia during pregnancy has been extensively studied, the magnitude of postpartum anemia (PPA) and its predictors, especially after caesarean delivery remains unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of postpartum anemia, and its predictors among women who underwent cesarean delivery.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among women who underwent caesarean delivery in Southern Ethiopia.

Incidence of extubation failure and its predictors among adult patients in intensive care unit of low-resource setting: A prospective observational study.

Background: Previous studies have found an association between various predictors and extubation failure (EF) in intensive care units (ICUs). However, this problem remains unexplored in low-resource settings, where predicting the extubation outcomes are more challenging. This study investigates the incidence of EF and its predictors among patients who received mechanical ventilation (MV).

Predictors and management outcomes of perforated appendicitis in sub-Saharan African countries: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Previous studies have found an association between various predictors and perforated appendicitis. However, there is limited evidence of studies determining the severity of acute appendicitis (AA) in resource-limited settings. Thus, this study aimed to identify predictors and outcomes of perforated appendicitis (PA) in sub-Saharan countries.

Management of patient presenting with breast fibroadenoma and medullary thyroid cancer in a young male: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction And Importance: Fibroadenoma of the male breast is a rarely diagnosed lesion that often occurs concurrently with gynecomastia and the intake of medications that alter sex hormone levels. Herein, we report the first case of fibroadenoma of the male breast, presenting with medullary thyroid cancer. In addition, we reviewed the current management strategies for fibroadenoma of the male breast in the literature.

Incidence and factors associated with post-anesthesia care unit complications in resource-limited settings: An observational study.

Background And Aims: Postoperative complications are frequent encounters in the patients admitted to postanesthesia care units (PACU). The main aim of this study was to assess the incidence of complications and associated factors among surgical patients admitted in limited-resource settings of the PACU.

Methods: This is an observational study of 396 surgical patients admitted to PACU.

Appendiceal knotting causing small bowel obstruction: A rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Appendicitis causing intestinal obstruction by forming a knot around a small bowel is uncommon. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging as the typical presentations of appendicitis are not usually seen. The diagnosis of appendicular knotting is usually an intraoperative surprise.

The practice of procedural pain assessment and management in neonatal intensive care unit in Ethiopia: Cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Neonates in intensive care units undergo frequent painful procedures for diagnostic or care-related purposes. Untreated pain has serious short-term and long-term complications. This study aims to evaluate the frequency of painful procedures, pain assessment, and their analgesic management practice among neonates admitted to the NICU.

The practice of foreign body removal from the ear, nose, and upper esophageal in children in Ethiopia: A retrospective descriptive study.

Background: Ear, nose, and upper esophageal foreign body (FB) impaction in children is a common emergency in-hospital service. There are no clear guidelines regarding the management of ingested FBs. This study aimed to determine the FB in terms of type, anatomic site, management outcome, and associated complications.
