Numerical and experimental analysis of body armor polymer penetration resistance against 7.62 mm bullet.

Advanced materials are crucial for enhancing soldier safety through improved personal body armor. In contrast to conventional Kevlar-epoxy composites, this study examines the ballistic performance of a unique ECO-UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) vest. The aim is to achieve a lightweight design with superior impact resistance, addressing limitations of the current armor used by the Ethiopian Defense Force.

Therapeutic efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine in the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Arba Minch Zuria District, Gamo Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.

Background: Artemether-lumefantrine (AL) has been the primary anti-malarial drug used to treat uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Ethiopia since 2004. However, there have been recent reports of AL resistance mutations in different African countries, including Ethiopia. This is concerning and requires periodic monitoring of anti-malarial drug resistance.

A case report of congenital ureteral stricture: Obstructed, hydronephrotic solitary kidney with cystic dysplastic changes.

Introduction And Importance: Congenital ureteral stricture is a rare cause of antenatal hydronephrosis. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent progressive loss of renal function.

Case Presentation: This is a case report a 5 month old infant with obstructed hydronephrotic solitary kidney detected during antenatal ultrasound.

Application of Artificial Intelligence for Surface Roughness Prediction of Additively Manufactured Components.

Additive manufacturing has gained significant popularity from a manufacturing perspective due to its potential for improving production efficiency. However, ensuring consistent product quality within predetermined equipment, cost, and time constraints remains a persistent challenge. Surface roughness, a crucial quality parameter, presents difficulties in meeting the required standards, posing significant challenges in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, energy, optics, and electronics manufacturing, where surface quality directly impacts performance and functionality.

Public health interventions on prescription redemptions and secondary medication adherence among type 2 diabetes patients: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Despite the inadequate filling of prescriptions among chronic care patients has been a problem, little is known about the intervention effect on it.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) was to investigate the effectiveness of various public health interventions on primary and secondary medication adherence among T2DM patients.

Methods: Searching was done from the major databases; Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed, EBSCOhost, and SCOPUS.
