A comparative study of proximate compositions, phytochemical constituents, and anti-nutritional contents of pulps and seeds of fruit.

is a tropical wild edible plant that is locally consumed in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Regional state of Ethiopia. However, there is limited information comparing nutritional, phytochemical, and anti-nutritional factors present in fruit pulps and seeds of the fruit. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and compare the proximate compositions, phytochemical constituents, and anti-nutritional contents of the fruit pulp and seeds.

The "Ideal Birth": The Occurrence of Severe Perineal Lacerations, Related Factors and the Possibility of Identifying Patients at Higher Risk.

Background: Obstetric lesions of the anal sphincter (OASIS) are tears intersecting the structure of the anus after vaginal delivery. Our aim is to provide data on the incidence of OASIS and investigate potentially connected risk factors.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 464 parturient patients admitted to the AOU Maggiore della Carità, Novara (Italy), in the last ten years (2013-2023), comparing 116 cases (with OASIS) versus 348 controls (with no OASIS).

Relationship between vaginal and gut microbiome and pregnancy outcomes in eastern Ethiopia: a protocol for a longitudinal maternal-infant cohort study (the EthiOMICS study).

Introduction: Although evidence exists on the impact of microbiota on pregnancy outcomes in many high-resource settings, there is a lack of research in many low-resource settings like Ethiopia. This study aims to fill this gap by studying the gut and vaginal microbiota changes throughout pregnancy and assess how these changes relate to pregnancy outcomes among a cohort of pregnant women in eastern Ethiopia.

Methods And Analysis: Vaginal and stool samples will be collected using DNA/RNA Shield Collection kits three times starting at 12-22 weeks, 28-36 weeks and at birth (within 7 days).

An Exploratory-Descriptive Qualitative Study on Accessing Eye Health Services at the Community Level in the Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia.

Background And Aims: Access to eye health care, which has a substantial influence on quality of life, is crucial for preventing and treating vision impairments. The determinants of access to eye health care in Ethiopia, especially in the Gamo and Gofa Zones in southern Ethiopia, are not well known. Therefore, this study aimed to identify barriers to accessing eye health services at the community level.

Urethral clear cell adenocarcinoma in an adult female: A rare case report.

Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra is an extremely rare malignancy with a poor outcome, mainly affecting females in old age. We present the case of a 42-year-old female patient who presented with progressively worsening lower urinary tract symptoms, leading to a cystoscopy-guided core needle biopsy diagnosis of clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urethra. We will mainly discuss the cross-sectional imaging and pathological aspects of the case.
