The 2019-2020 pandemic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has inundated hospital systems globally, as they prepare to accommodate surge of patients requiring advanced levels of care. Pandemic preparedness has not been this urgently and widely needed in the last several decades. According to epidemiologic predictions, the peak of this pandemic has still not been reached, and hospitals everywhere need to ensure readiness to care for more patients than they usually do, and safety for healthcare workers who strive to save lives. We share our hospital-wide rapid preparedness and response to COVID-19 to help provide information to other healthcare systems globally.

Cancers of the brain and central nervous system: global patterns and trends in incidence.

J Neurooncol

January 2025

Cancer Surveillance Branch, International Agency for Research On Cancer (IARC), 25 Avenue Tony Garnier, CS 90627, 69366 LYON CEDEX 07, Lyon, France.

Background: Global comparisons of the burden and impact of cancers of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) are critical for developing effective control strategies and generating etiological hypotheses to drive future research.

Methods: National incidence estimates were obtained from GLOBOCAN 2022, and recorded incidence data from the Cancer in Five Continents series, both developed and compiled by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We examined the estimated age-standardized incidence rates in 185 countries, as well as time trends in recorded incidence in 35 countries, quantifying the direction and change in the magnitude of the rates using the estimated average percentage change (EAPC).

J Perinat Neonatal Nurs

January 2025

Author Affiliations: Departments of Midwifery (Mr Fikadu), Internal Medicine (Dr Shibru), and Obstetrics and Gynecology (Drs Koira, Chufamo, and Mulugeta), and School of Public Health (Messrs Kote and Hailemariam and Dr Ayele), College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arba Minch University, Southern Region, Arba Minch, Ethiopia; Ethiopia Midwives Association, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (Messrs Belgu and Mazengia); and Institute of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Amhara Region, Gondar, Ethiopia (Dr Ayele).

Purpose: This study was aimed to assess the effect of intermittent fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring using Moyo Doppler compared with fetoscope in hospitals of Ethiopia, 2023.

Background: To facilitate more prompt identification of a hypoxic fetus, Laerdal Global Health has recently introduced the Moyo FHR monitor. Nevertheless, there exists limited knowledge regarding its efficacy derived from multicenter contextual trials conducted in resource-constrained environments, specifically in Ethiopia.
