BACKGROUND: The interval between the decision for an emergency cesarean section and the delivery of the fetus should be made within 30 minutes. In a setting like Ethiopia, the recommendation of 30 minutes is unrealistic. Decision to delivery interval should, therefore, be considered as vital in improving perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the decision to delivery interval, its perinatal outcomes, and associated factors. METHODS: A facility-based cross-sectional study was employed, and a consecutive sampling technique was used...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare serum lactate levels of multi-drug poisoned patients to determine whether knowing the level may help emergency clinicians in predicting the patients' prognoses. METHODS: The patients were divided into two groups according to the number of kinds of drugs taken (Group 1: patients took 2 kinds of drugs; Group 2: patients took 3 or more kinds of drugs). The groups' initial venous lactate levels, lactate levels before discharge, lengths of stay in the emergency department, hospitalisation units, clinics, and outcomes were recorded on the study form...

BACKGROUND: Indonesia's national Tuberculosis (TB) strategy is public-private mix (PPM). The PPM aims to treat patients who have lost sight during TB treatment as these patients are TB carriers and at risk of transmitting TB. The purpose of this study was to identify predictive factors for loss to follow-up (LFTU) among TB patients receiving treatment when the PPM was at place in Indonesia. METHODS: The design of this study was a retrospective cohort study. The data used in this study was sourced from the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) of Semarang which was recorded routinely during 2020-2021...

BACKGROUND: In developing countries, the diagnosis of congenital heart diseases (CHD) is growing as the availability of echocardiography is increasing with most diagnoses made after birth. However, the access to pediatric surgery is still low and is mainly done by global surgical campaigns rather than local surgeons. Ethiopia has trained its local surgeons, and this is expected to improve the care of children with CHD. We aimed to evaluate the experience of local pediatric CHD surgery and its outcome in a single-center in Ethiopia...

BACKGROUND: Subarachnoid block is used in most of urological surgeries and finding the best possible drug has always been a challenge. Bupivacaine's pure enantiomers ropivacaine and levobupivacaine have lesser systemic toxicity. Isobaric solution has extra benefit of not affecting the intrathecal dispersion of drug. Dexmedetomidine when added intrathecally provides longer duration of analgesia and anaesthesia. Aim of this study is to compare onset, duration of the block with both the drugs along with their hemostability and postoperative analgesia...

Aplastic anemia is a rare disease of the hematopoietic system. Although some viral agents have been implicated, the association between COVID-19 and aplastic anemia is unclear. In this way, several cases of aplastic anemia have been reported following infection with COVID-19. Importantly, we reported a 16-year-old girl with severe aplastic anemia with no history of disease following an Omicron infection who did not respond well to treatment despite supportive treatment and immunosuppression.
