Existence of cholera outbreak, challenges, and way forward on public health interventions to control cholera outbreak in Guraghe Zones, southern Ethiopia, 2023.

Introduction: In Ethiopia, despite major improvements seen in health service delivery system, the country continues to be significantly affected by cholera outbreaks. Cholera remains a significant public health problem among the vulnerable populations living in many resource-limited settings with poor access to safe and clean water and hygiene practices. Recurring cholera outbreaks are an indication of deprived water and sanitation conditions as well as weak health systems, contributing to the transmission and spread of the cholera infection.

Environmental determinants for participation among stroke survivors in Africa, a scoping review.

Purpose: In this review, we aimed to determine the environmental factors that are influencing the participation of stroke survivors in Africa.

Methods: Four electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to August 2021, and identified articles were screened by the two authors of this review based on predetermined criteria. No date restrictions were imposed, and we included any type of paper, including gray literature.

The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Markers of Oxidative Stress and the Immune Response in Healthy Volunteers.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of breathing 100% oxygen under increased ambient pressure. There are indications that HBOT induces oxidative stress and activates immune pathways. However, previous research on immunological effects of HBOT has mainly been established in experiments and selected patient populations, limiting generalizability and increasing the chances of confounding by comorbidities and specific patient-related factors.

Incidence of and Reasons and Determinants Associated with Retransitioning from Biosimilar Etanercept to Originator Etanercept.

Background: Patients in clinical practice are transitioned from originator etanercept (OR-ETA) to biosimilar etanercept (BS-ETA), but some subsequently retransition. Insights into the incidence of and reasons for retransitioning and the characteristics of these patients could help clinicians successfully introduce biosimilars.

Objective: Our objective was to assess the incidence of and reasons for retransitioning from BS-ETA to OR-ETA in patients with a rheumatic disease (RD) and to explore the determinants thereof.

Hatchability and growth performances of normal feathered local, Sasso-RIR and their F1-cross chickens managed under on-station condition in southern Ethiopia.

The Normal feathered local chicken (LL), Sasso-RIR (SRSR) and their F1-cross (LSR) chickens were hatched to evaluate for egg hatchability, body weight, feed efficiency, and survival rate. After 14 days of brooding, 150 chicks of each genotype were randomly selected and further replicated into five pens in a deep litter grower house consisting of 30 chicks each in a completely randomized design, and evaluated for a period of 16 weeks. Hatchability of fertile eggs was highest for LL (80.
