Renal mycetoma presenting with features suggesting renal malignancy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Neoplasms of the Kidney are rarely caused by actinomycetoma or other mycetoma species. Actinomycetoma is a neglected tropical disease which is not uncommon in Sudan. Usually, it is presented as skin and subcutaneous tissue lesions or mass and can affect the bone and other soft tissue.

Clinical pathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC): a retrospective study from Sudan.

Background: Worldwide, renal cell carcinoma comprises 2.2% and 1.8% of global cancer incidence and mortality, respectively.

Migrating foreign body into the urinary bladder of children postperineal trauma.

Foreign body (FB) in the urinary bladder (UB) is uncommon and rarely reported in pediatric patients FB migration into the UB is an extremely rare and unpredictable condition that needs a high index of suspicion with meticulous history taking and clinical reasoning, so diagnosis may be challenging. In this study, we report two cases of male pediatric patients from Sudan with FB in the UB, with a history of penetrating perineal trauma, both were presented with irritative lower urinary tract symptoms, history of penetrating perineal trauma, and unremarkable clinical examination. Both were diagnosed by abdominal Ultrasound study (USS) and confirmed by cystoscopy.

Insufficient Supply, Diagnostic Services, and Lack of Trained Personnel in Primary Hospitals in North-West Ethiopia Worsened Trauma Care: A Mixed-Method Study.

Objective: Although there has been a massive expansion of hospitals in Ethiopia in the last 2 decades, most are primary-level hospitals. Assessing the capability of the hospitals in managing trauma victims is essential to strengthening the hospitals.

Methods: We employed a mixed-method approach using quantitative descriptive design triangulated with qualitative research.

Do deaths from road traffic injuries follow a classical trimodal pattern in North West Ethiopia? A hospital-based prospective cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify timing distribution and predictors of deaths following road traffic injuries among all age groups at Gondar Comprehensive specialised hospital.

Design: A single-centre prospective cohort study.

Setting: The study hospital is a tertiary hospital in North West Ethiopia.

Disability scores rate changes and predictors among road traffic injury victims admitted at Gondar specialized comprehensive hospital northwest Ethiopia: A prospective follow-up study.

Objective: Measuring the level of disability following trauma is a key step for secondary and tertiary level trauma prevention. It can give important evidence for decision-makers and program implementers on the need for establishing rehabilitation centers.

Methods: This is a longitudinal follow-up study on 235 road traffic injury survivors.

Mucosa-associated cultivable aerobic gut bacterial microbiota among colorectal cancer patients attending at the referral hospitals of Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the top ten causes of cancer deaths in the world. Despite an increased prevalence of colorectal cancer has been documented from developing countries, there is no any report regarding gut microbiota among colorectal cancer patients in Ethiopia. Therefore, the current study evaluated cultivable aerobic gut bacterial distributions among malignant and its adjacent normal biopsies of CRC patients.

The 12 items Amharic version WHODAS-2 showed cultural adaptation and used to measure disability among road traffic trauma victims in Ethiopia.

Background: Adapting and translating already developed tools to different cultures is a complex process, but once done, it increases the validity of the construct to be measured. This study aimed to assess the 12 items WHODAS-2 and test its psychometric properties among road traffic injury victims in Ethiopia. This study aimed to translate the 12 items WHODAS- 2 interview-based tools into Amharic and examine the psychometric properties of the new version among road traffic injury victims.

Prostate cancer clinical characteristics and outcomes in Central Sudan.

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Sudanese men and most patients present at a late stage. Although the incidence of prostate cancer in Sudan is low compared to other African countries, studies on prostate cancer in Sudan are limited. This study addresses the clinical characteristics and outcomes of prostate cancer in Central Sudan and its prognostic factors.

Renal tuberculosis mimicking renal malignancy in Sudanese adolescence.

Introduction: Renal tuberculosis (RTB) has no specific presentation and symptoms can be absent in up to 8% of cases in developing countries. Most patients present with symptoms like fever, burning micturition, pyuria, weight loss, and loin pain. In very rare occasions RTB can present as a renal mass mimicking renal cell carcinoma RCC.

Recent Status of Nanomaterial Fabrication and Their Potential Applications in Neurological Disease Management.

Nanomaterials (NMs) are receiving remarkable attention due to their unique properties and structure. They vary from atoms and molecules along with those of bulk materials. They can be engineered to act as drug delivery vehicles to cross blood-brain barriers (BBBs) and utilized with better efficacy and safety to deliver specific molecules into targeted cells as compared to conventional system for neurological disorders.
