Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding is any bleeding that deviates from normal menstruations. It differs in terms of frequency of bleeding, duration, and the pattern of bleeding during menstrual cycle or menopause. It is a major gynecological problem for medical visits among women in the reproductive aged group. However, data on abnormal uterine bleeding in Ethiopia are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the abnormal uterine bleeding and associated factors among reproductive age women in Jimma town, Southwest Ethiopia.
Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was employed from 1 January to 30 April 2020. Six hundred sixty women were selected by using systematic random sampling. Data were collected by using semi-structured questionnaires. Data were entered into EPI data version 3.1 and analyzed by using SPSS version 25 software. All predictor's variables with p value <0.25 in bivariable analysis were entered into multivariable logistic regression analysis. Variables with a p value of less than 0.05 in the multivariable analysis were taken as statistically significant predictors of abnormal uterine bleeding.
Results: Out of 660 participants, 225 (34.1%) had abnormal uterine bleeding. From women with abnormal uterine bleeding, the prevalence of metrorrhagia, heavy periods, oligomenorrhea, inter-menstrual bleeding, polymenorrhea, and amenorrhea was 59 (26.2%), 54 (24%), 53 (23.5%), 46 (20.4%), 35 (15.5%), and 25 (11.1%), respectively. History of abortion (adjusted odds ratio = 1.5, 95% confidence interval: 1.02-2.41), history of uterine fibroids (adjusted odds ratio = 3.83, 95% confidence interval: 1.85-7.94), history of sexually transmitted infection (adjusted odds ratio = 2.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.33-3.66), and the history of intrauterine device (adjusted odds ratio = 2.1, 95% confidence interval: 1.39-2.97) were significantly associated with abnormal uterine bleeding.
Conclusion: The prevalence of abnormal uterine bleeding was higher in Jimma town.

Ovarian agenesis (OA) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of one or both ovaries, often associated with chromosomal abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, and structural deformities. The condition is frequently diagnosed in females presenting with primary amenorrhea and delayed sexual development. This case report highlights a unique presentation of bilateral ovarian agenesis in a patient with chromosome X translocation, bone modeling disease, and primary amenorrhea.

Aims: Aberrantly expressed MPHOSPH9 has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis in many diseases. Previous study indicates that MPHOSPH9 is abnormally expressed in patients with uterine fibroids (UFs). This study focused on the possible prognostic value of MPHOSPH9 in UFs patients after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment.

The mismatch between the nutrient intake from the diet and the output by the mammary gland causes a negative energy balance in transition dairy cows, that, if excessive, can promote several metabolic disorders. Other relevant phenomena occur during transition, such as inflammation at calving and changes in immunocompetence, redox balance, and mineral metabolism. Despite the efforts, some aspects of the adaptive mechanisms observed in the transition period still need to be clarified.

A zoo-based, 11-year-old, uniparous southern black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) failed to conceive after weaning a calf. Behavioral observation and fecal progestagen monitoring confirmed irregular estrous cycles. Serial transrectal reproductive ultrasound examination revealed the cause to be recurrent anovulatory hemorrhagic follicles (AHFs).

Purpose: To provide a comprehensive understanding and propose a strategy for the management of extragonadal malignant germ cell tumors (EMGCTs) arising from extracranial and nonvaginal sites.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 12 patients with EMGCTs arising from extracranial and nonvaginal sites treated in our center over the past 38 years. Data on clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities, and follow-up information were analyzed.
