- - There is increasing concern over food safety due to parasitic pathogens in raw fruits and vegetables, which can have serious health impacts, especially on vulnerable groups like pregnant women and children.
- - A meta-analysis conducted on studies from Ethiopia included 13 studies and found a high pooled prevalence of parasitic contamination in raw produce, at 43.38%, with the Oromia region having the highest rate of 51.95%.
- - The most common parasite identified was Strongyloides stercoralis, with spinach being the most contaminated vegetable and bananas having a significant contamination rate of 38.34%.
Background: Assessment in problem-based learning should aim to improve students' active learning. In due course, significant student involvement in any assessment process may aid them in meeting the curriculum's objectives.
Purpose: The primary goal of this study is to assess medical students' attitudes towards the assessment method used during PBL tutorials at Debre Tabor College of Health Sciences.

- The Vatke plant is widely used in Ethiopia for treating intestinal worms, but its safety and potential teratogenic effects during pregnancy have not been thoroughly studied.
- This study aimed to assess the impact of a hydroalcoholic fruit extract from the Vatke plant on the development of rat embryos and fetuses by evaluating various maternal and fetal health indicators.
- Results indicated that while the extract did not significantly affect most developmental indices, it caused inflammatory reactions and calcifications in the placentas of treated rats, suggesting potential concerns regarding placental health.
Objective: The main aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide summarized evidence on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease and associated factors among patients with chronic illness in Ethiopia.
Method: Databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane library, and ScienceDirect were searched. In addition, gray literatures were searched manually from university repositories.
Background: Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are public health problems widely distributed in the world and cause significant morbidity and mortality; many of which occur among women of reproductive age. IPIs caused by helminthes and protozoan parasites are common among pregnant women. Data on the national pooled prevalence of intestinal parasites and associated factors during pregnancy is not documented well in Ethiopia.
