Recognizing the broader accessibility of iodized salt compared to wheat flour, the Ethiopian government is considering fortification of iodized salt with folic acid, and possibly vitamin B, to address the high incidence of neural tube defects (NTDs) in Ethiopia. To prepare for this program, we assessed practices related to edible salt procurement and consumption, and the acceptability of novel salts fortified with iodine and folic acid (double-fortified salt, DFS) or iodine, folic acid, and vitamin B (triple-fortified salt, TFS) compared to iodized salt (IS). We surveyed 840 women of reproductive age in urban (Addis Ababa) and rural (Gimbichu Woreda) areas to describe their salt preferences and practices and used a three-point hedonic scale to evaluate the sensory acceptability of fine and coarse forms of DFS, TFS, and IS for color, taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability.

Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) represent a considerable impediment to female reproductive health. Despite ongoing debate regarding the optimally efficacious route of administration and dosage of stem cells for IUA treatment, human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) have emerged as a promising avenue for regenerative therapy. The present study aimed to investigate the potential effects of UCMSCs on IUAs and to further explore the most effective treatment route and dosages.
