Magnetic FeO /AlO /MnO ternary nanocomposite: Synthesis and characterization for phosphorus desorption from acidic soils using dialysis membrane tube.

Monitoring phosphorus fertilization is crucial for controlling the concentration of biologically available soil P. Over the years, several methodologies have been used, including successive cropping in a greenhouse or field, as well as extractions employing P sink procedures. The latter procedures are ideal laboratory experiments to show the soil's ability to supply P and to explore the P-residual release kinetics.

Skin disorders affecting human immunodeficiency virus-infected children living in an orphanage in Ethiopia.

Background: Skin disorders are common in children in Ethiopia, and it is estimated that 92,000 Ethiopian children are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV infection increases the prevalence of cutaneous disease, but the effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the pattern of skin disease affecting children in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclear.

Aim: To assess the prevalence and nature of skin disorders in HIV-infected children living in a dedicated orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Immunogenicity and efficacy of Fermi-type nerve tissue rabies vaccine in mice and in humans undergoing post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies in Ethiopia.

Rabies is an acute viral encephalitis that is invariably fatal following the manifestations of clinical signs. To subvert the course of the disease, rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is widely utilized. The immunogenicity and efficacy of Fermi-type rabies vaccine produced in Ethiopia was determined in mice subjected to intracranial challenge with rabies virus, and in humans undergoing rabies PEP in Ethiopia.

Possible human-to-human transmission of rabies in Ethiopia.

This report describes two unusual human rabies patients, a 41 year old woman and a 5 year old boy. The only known source of exposure for both patients was to family members who died of rabies. The clinical histories of these two patients suggest the possibility of naturally occurring human-to-human transmission of rabies.
