Associated factors of pelvic organ prolapse among patients at Public Hospitals of Southern Ethiopia: A case-control study design.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the descent of the vaginal wall, cervix, uterus, bladder, and rectum downward into the vaginal canal. It occurs owing to the weakness of the structures supporting and keeping pelvic organs in anatomic position. Prolapse occurs due to exposure to risk factors; women in developing countries are highly predisposed to the risk factors of the prolapse.

Prevalence of palmar crease patterns and associated factors among students at University of Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia.

Palmar creases are unique, permanent, and genetically controlled morphological variables. Recognizing palmar crease types are important for personal identification, criminal investigations, and diagnosis of congenital diseases. This study aimed to reveal the anthropological characteristics as well as contribute to the diagnosing of congenital disease of Ethiopian people.

Risk Factors of Anomalous Cord Insertion Among Singleton Births at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: An Institution-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Anomalous cord insertion causes bad pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, knowledge on the prevalence and risk factors of anomalous cord insertion will reinforce the prenatal care by health providers in addressing the adverse outcome caused by this abnormality.

Methods And Materials: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 421 singleton births at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital.

Factors associated with delay in seeking treatment among women with pelvic organ prolapse at selected general and referral hospitals of Southern Ethiopia, 2020.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is the descent of the vaginal wall, cervix, uterus, bladder, and rectum downward into the vaginal canal. Its prevalence is higher among women in developing countries because women are more prone to risk factors. In Ethiopia, women with prolapse seek treatments at advanced stages of prolapse; hence, surgical management has been widely practicing.

Sociodemographic Factors Predicting Exclusive Breastfeeding in Ethiopia: Evidence from a Meta-analysis of Studies Conducted in the Past 10 Years.

Objectives: To investigate the association between EBF and educational status, household income, marital status, media exposure, and parity in Ethiopia.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, CINAHL and WHO Global health library databases were searched using key terms for all studies published in English between September 2009 and March 2019. The methodological quality of studies was examined using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) for cross-sectional studies.

Prediction of Number of Casts and Need of Tenotomy Using Pirani Score in the Management of Clubfoot.

Background: Clubfoot also called as congenital tailpipes equinovarus is a complex ankle and foot deformity characterized by forefoot adduction and supination, midfoot cavus and hindfoot varus and equinus. It is estimated that more than 100,000 babies are born each year worldwide with clubfoot, and 80% are seen in developing nations. Different scoring systems are used for grading the severity of deformity or monitoring the natural history of clubfoot.

Anatomical Variation in Morphometry and Morphology of the Foramen Magnum and Occipital Condyle in Dried Adult Skulls.

Background: The foramen magnum (FM) is the largest opening and is outlet through which medulla oblongata and spinal cord along with meninges, vertebral arteries, anterior and posterior spinal arteries, tectorial membrane, alar ligaments, and spinal branch of the accessory nerve. Occipital condyle (OC) is an important part of craniovertebral or craniocervical junction located anterolaterally on either side of the FM. The objective of the study was to assess variations of FM and OC in Ethiopian dried adult skulls.
