Magnitude of infection and associated factors in open tibial fracture treated operatively, in Addis Ababa burn emergency and trauma center.

Background: Due to the specific anatomical features of the tibia (limited soft tissue coverage), more than a quarter of its fractures are classified as open, representing the most common open long-bone injuries. Open tibial fractures frequently cause significant bone comminution, periosteal stripping, soft tissue loss, contamination and are prone to bacterial entry with biofilm formation, which increases the risk of deep bone infection. The main objective of this study was to determine prevalence of infection and its associated factors in surgically treated open tibial fracture, at Addis Ababa Burn Emergency and Trauma (AaBET) hospital.

Quality of care and associated factors among patients with epilepsy at public hospitals in Arba Minch Town: a facility-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic disorders affecting approximately 51 million people globally and is associated with significant cases of age-standardized DALYs (182.6 per 100 000 people). The quality of health care services offered to people suffering from epilepsy often fails to meet standards in Ethiopia or internationally.

Bioremediation of dissolved organic compounds in produced water from oil and gas operations using Chlorella sorokiniana: a sustainable approach.

The sustainable treatment of petroleum-derived produced water (PW), a significant byproduct of oil and gas extraction, presents a persistent problem due to the presence of organic pollutants. This study examines the potential of the microalga Chlorella sorokiniana (C. sorokiniana) for the bioremediation of dissolved organic pollutants in PW.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Budd-Chiari Syndrome.

Aims: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is managed by interventions aimed at relieving hepatic venous obstruction and anticoagulation. Despite robust data supporting the tolerability and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with other venous thromboembolism, its utility in BCS is not well documented. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of DOACs in Primary BCS from the available literature.
