Background: As one domain of preoperative assessment, preoperative investigations are often ordered to evaluate patient's medical condition for risk stratification and assessing patient status to undergoing surgery. Despite the fact that laboratory testing can assist in ensuring the best possible preoperative condition, routine screening examinations have a number of drawbacks. Although there are evidence-based recommendations for which investigations should be done, the tradition of routine preoperative testing is still prevalent and clinical practice with abnormal results detected varies.

Previously reported spin torque p-bits include volatile low-energy barrier nanomagnets (LBNMs) with spontaneously fluctuating magnetizations and initialization-necessary nonvolatile magnets. However, initialization-free nonvolatile spin torque p-bits are still lacking.

Approximately 90% of injury-related deaths occurred in low-income and middle-income countries. There are limited data that address the outcomes of injuries in adult trauma patients at the time of discharge to improve the outcome of trauma care in developing countries, including Ethiopia.

Failure to discover predictors of pain leads to maternal dissatisfaction, increased expenses, and restricted movement; it increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis, lengthens hospital stays, and decreases social intimacy.
Methods And Materials: An institution-based prospective cohort study was conducted among 422 women who went to undergo caesarean sections under spinal anaesthesia at public hospitals in West Shoa from 30 July to 30 October.
Objective: This study assessed the magnitude of risky sexual practices and associated factors among adult people living with HIV (PLHIV) attending antiretroviral clinics in public hospitals in Kembata Tembaro Zone, southern Ethiopia.
Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
Setting: A hospital-based study was conducted among adult PLHIV in the Kambata Tambaro Zone, southern Ethiopia.
