Published: July 2024

Background: Medication adherence is a fundamental determinant of effective treatment. However, people with epilepsy have poor compliance with  their treatment because of the chronic nature of the disease. Limited studies have been conducted to address antiepileptic medication  adherence in Africa, including Ethiopia. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess antiepileptic drug adherence and its asociated factors among  patients with epilepsy attending outpatient department of Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 439 patients with epilepsy in Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital. Medication  adherence reporting scale-5 (MARS-5) was used to assess adherence to antiepileptic drugs. The Oslo social support, Jacob perceived stigma scale,  and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were the instruments used to assess associated factors. Simple and multiple linear regression  analysis models were fitted. Then, the adjusted unstandardized beta (β) coefficient at a 95% confidence level was used.
Results: The mean(SD) score of antiepileptic medication adherence was 16.38(±3.76) with 95%CI:(16.03, 16.72). Depressive symptoms (β= -1.35, 95%  CI: (-2.04, -0.65)), anxiety symptoms (β=- 1.12,95%CI:(-1,79,-0.44), perceived stigma (β= -1.64, 95% CI:- 2.16,-1.12), being single (β=-0.67, 95%CI:-1.20,-  0.14), presence of seizure per month(β=-2.11,95% CI: (-2.81,-1.41) and antiepileptic drug adverse effect(β=-0.07,95%CI:-0.11,-0.03) were factors  associated with anti-epileptic medication adherence.
Conclusion: The results suggest that the mean score of adherence to antiepileptic drugs was poor as compared to other settings. Antiepileptic  medication adherence screening tool should be included in the patient’s treatment protocol.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is a major public health concern in both developing and developed countries. The mortality rate of breast cancer is high in India due to late detection, and lack of knowledge about the screening mammography. The objective of this study was to develop and establish the psychometric properties of the tool.
METHOD: A qualitative method was used to carry out the development and validation of a tool to assess the knowledge, attitude, and perception of women towards screening mammography using a cross-sectional study design. Data analyzed using the SPSS 16 were descriptive, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to standardize the tool.
RESULTS: The pilot test, content validity, and internal consistency reliability of the final 25 items were found to be highly adequate. Intra- class correlations of this questionnaire were considered acceptable. Cronbach’s alpha score was 0.825.
CONCLUSION: A valid scale has been developed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and perception of women toward screening mammography. The scale is adequately responsive to test the knowledge and possesses strong internal consistency. Lack of knowledge among the general population about the screening mammography. It is recommended to conduct an educational program to enhance knowledge about screening mammography. The questionnaires can be used for evaluating the knowledge, attitude, and perception of women toward screening mammography. Broadening the concept for further questionnaires tool development of knowledge, attitude, and perception of women towards screening mammography in other geographical areas.

Authors: Lissane Seifu  , Yonas Gashaye  , Melaku Taye
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability and the second commonest cause of death globally. Despite the fact that renal dysfunction is a common comorbidity of stroke, there is no data on the prevalence of renal dysfunction among patients with acute stroke in Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of renal dysfunction, factors associated with renal dysfunction and risk of in-hospital mortality.
METHODS: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Yekatit 12 Hospital Medical College among consecutive 192 patients, who were admitted with acute stroke from September 2020 to September 2021. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire after pilot survey was done. A Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify determinants of renal function abnormalities. Renal dysfunction was defined as serum creatinine >1.2mg/dl.
RESULT: The mean age (SD) of study participants was 62.2 (15.9) years. Hundred-one (52.6%) participants were males. Thirty-four (17.7%) of the participants had renal dysfunction. Among patients with renal dysfunction, more than half of them were ≥70 years old and two-thirds were males. Male gender and hypertension increased the risk of renal dysfunction among hospitalized stroke patients. The mortality rate was higher in stroke patients with renal dysfunction (35.3%) as compared with patients having normal renal function (15.2%), but it was not a statistically significant.
CONCLUSION: Renal dysfunction was a frequent comorbidity among acute stroke patients who were hospitalized. Male gender and hypertension were statistically significant predictors of renal dysfunction. Mortality rate was higher in stroke patients with renal dysfunction, but not a statistically significant predictor of post stroke in-hospital mortality.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Trachoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness. It is more prevalent in areas where there is poor personal and environmental sanitation. Implementing a SAFE strategy will reduce the incidence of trachoma. The purpose of this study was to look into trachoma prevention practices and associated factors in rural Lemo, South Ethiopian communities. 
METHODS: We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study in the rural Lemo district of south Ethiopia, covering 552 households, from July 1 - July 30, 2021. We used a multistage sampling technique. Seven Kebeles were selected using a simple random sampling method. Then, a systematic random sampling procedure with a five-interval size was applied to select the households.
Our study assessed the association between the outcome variable and explanatory variables using binary and multivariate logistic regressions. The adjusted odds ratio was calculated, and variables with a p-value below 0.05 at the 95% confidence interval (CI) were considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: The study found that 59.6% (95% CI: 55.5%–63.7%) of participants had good trachoma prevention practices. Having a favorable attitude (odds ratio [AOR]: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.26-2.89), receiving health education (AOR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.46-3.21), and obtaining water from a public pipe (AOR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.09-5.66) were significantly associated with good trachoma prevention practice.
CONCLUSION:  Fifty-nine percent of the participants had good prevention practices for trachoma. Health education, a favorable attitude, and a water source from public pipes were variables associated with good trachoma prevention practice. Improving water sources and disseminating health information are vital to increasing trachoma prevention practices.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Mycoplasma genitalium are common sexually transmitted microorganisms. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence of C. trachomatis, U. parvum, and M. genitalium in infertile and fertile couples and the effect of these microorganisms on semen parameters.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this case-control study, samples were collected from 50 infertile couples and 50 fertile couples and were subjected to the routine semen analysis and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 
RESULTS: C. trachomatis and U. parvum were detected in 5 (10%) and 6 (12%) of semen samples from infertile men. Also, out of 50 endocervical swabs from the infertile women, C. trachomatis and M. genitalium were detected in 7(14%) and 4 (8%) of swab specimens, respectively. In the control groups, all of the semen samples and endocervical swabs were negative. Also, in the group of infertile patients infected with C. trachomatis and U. parvum, sperm motility was lower than uninfected infertile men.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that C. trachomatis, U. parvum, and M. genitalium are widespread among the infertile couples in Khuzestan Province (Southwest of Iran). Also, our results showed that these infections can decrease the quality of semen. For the prevention of the consequences of these infections, we suggest a screening program for infertile couples.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Depression and burnout are common among healthcare workers (HCWs) and negatively affect their well-being and the quality of the service they provide. However, the burden of depression and burnout among health extension workers (HEWs) in Ethiopia and their relationship has not been documented well.
The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of depression and burnout among HEWs in Ethiopia and to investigate the relationship between these conditions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used a cross-sectional study design and collected data from 584 rural and 581 urban HEWs in Ethiopia, as part of the 2019 national health extension program assessment. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Burnout Self-Test were used to screen HEWs for depression and burnout, respectively. We used descriptive statistics to estimate the magnitude of depression and burnout, and logistic regression to examine their relationship.
RESULT: Based on PHQ-9 cutoff scores of 10, the prevalence of major depression was 16.5% among rural and 8.9% among urban HEWs, whereas burnout risk was 39.8% among rural and 12.6% among urban HEWs. The odds of having depression among HEWs with burnout risk was relatively higher compared to those without burnout risk [For rural HEWs, the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) is 11.88 at a 95% confidence interval (CI; 5.27, 26.80), and for urban HEWs, the AOR is 11.49 at a 95% CI (5.35, 24.63)].
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of depression and burnout is high among HEWs in Ethiopia, with a significant rural–urban difference, and burnout is a significant predictor of depression. Mental health interventions that enable prevention, early detection, and management are needed especially for rural HEWs who are in charge of preventive health service delivery for the disadvantaged rural communities.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections and the most common antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. It is associated with a variety of infections. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of P. aeruginosa and its antimicrobial resistance profile from different clinical specimens at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Referral Hospital (DTCRH).
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July 2022 at DTCRH. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Clinical samples (blood, wound swab, urine, and sputum) were collected from 348 study participants and processed following the standard bacteriological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 25 statistical software. Descriptive statistics was used to present the findings of the study.
RESULTS: The prevalence of P.aeruginosa was 74(19.3%). The detection of the isolates was different based on the type of samples that ranged from 0% to 54.5% from sputum and wound swabs, respectively. P.aeruginosa showed resistance against gentamicin at 62.2%, ceftazidime 51.4%, cefepime 50%, amikacin 29.7%, imipenem 28.4% and ciprofloxacin 14.9%. The level of multi-drug resistance (MDR) was 45.9%, and the suspicious extreme-drug resistance (XDR) rate was 9.5%. Being inpatient and wound swab samples were factors associated with the detection of P.aeruginosa from clinical samples.
CONCLUSION: The antibiotic resistance profile of P. aeruginosa isolates in the present study area was found to be alarming. Actions to minimize the effect of antimicrobial resistance should be strengthened, and further large-scale study should be conducted to find out the main reasons behind antibiotic resistance of P.aeruginosa and other clinically relevant isolates.

Authors: Bemnet Taye  Gebregiorgis  , Moges Zenebe Wegayehu
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain is one of the most common presentations in the orthopedic clinic. Multiple factors have been found to cause shoulder pain. Radiographs and ultrasound are widely available, relatively cheap modalities in assessing shoulder pain. The aim of this study is to assess the radiographic and sonographic imaging patterns of shoulder pain.
METHODS: A descriptive prospective cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted at the Department of Radiology of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital among patients with shoulder pain that came for imaging from August 2021-January 2022.
RESULT: Of the 73 patients with shoulder pain included in the study, 67% were females while 33% males. The mean age was 51.7 years. Radiographs found pathology in 53% of the cases. Acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis, greater tuberosity degenerative changes, rotator cuff calcification were common radiographic findings. Ultrasound detected pathologies in 87% of the cases. The common pathologies were rotator cuff pathologies, biceps tendon pathologies, acromioclavicular joint degeneration, greater tuberosity degenerative changes, subacromial subdeltoid bursitis, and adhesive capsulitis. There was a significant association between greater tuberocity degenerative changes and supraspinatous pathologies with age, greater tuberocity degenerative changes with supraspinatous pathologies, acromiohumeral distance of <7mm with supraspinatous pathology.
CONCLUSION: Radiographs and ultrasound are valuable imaging modalities for shoulder pain. Low acromiohumeral interval, greater tuberosity degenerative changes, and acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis are associated with rotator cuff tears. Rotator cuff pathologies are the most common pathologies observed in ultrasound. We recommend ultrasound to be second step after radiograph due to its low cost and wide availability.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Globally, there were 241 million cases of malaria in 2020, with an estimated 627,000 deaths with Nigeria accounting for 27% of the global malaria cases. In sub-Saharan Africa, testing is low with only 28% of children with a fever receiving medical advice or a rapid diagnostic test in 2021. In Nigeria, there are documented reports of over-diagnosis and over-treatment of malaria in children. Therefore, this study examined the diagnosis of malaria at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.  
METHODS: A 5-year (2018-2022) retrospective study was carried out at the Emergency Pediatric Unit (EPU). Records of all children presenting to the EPU with an assessment of malaria were retrieved and reviewed. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23.
RESULTS: Out of 206 children reviewed, 128 (62.1%) were tested using either malaria RDT or microscopy while 78(37.9%) were not tested. Out of the number tested, 59(46.1%) were negative while 69(53.9%) tested positive, of which 14(20.3%) had uncomplicated malaria while 55(79.7%) had severe malaria. However, while 97.1% (n=67) of the positive cases were treated with IV artesunate, 69.5% (n=41) of those who tested negative and 88.5% (69) of those who were not tested also received IV artesunate. Moreover, while 85.5% (n=59) of those who tested positive received oral artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), 72.9% (n=43) of those who tested negative and 67.9% (53) of those who were not tested also received oral ACT. 
CONCLUSION: There was over-diagnosis of malaria, and subsequently, over-treatment. Hence continued emphasis on parasitological confirmation of malaria before treatment is recommended.
Misinterpretation of sleep-induced second-degree atrioventricular block
Authors: Barold S Serge
Published: July 2024

A number of publications have claimed that Mobitz type II atrioventricular block (AVB) may occur during sleep. None of the reports defined type II AVB and representative electrocardiograms were either misinterpreted or missing. Relatively benign Wenckebach type I AVB is often misdiagnosed as Mobitz type II which is an indication for a pacemaker. Review of the published reports indicates that Mobitz type II AVB does not occur during sleep when it is absent in the awake state. Conclusion: There is no proof that sleep is associated with Mobitz type II AVB.

Authors: Tuan Mansor Tuan Mastiniwati , Jeevan Jagan , Mohd Salleh Nurul Haqimin , Ngah Abdul Hafaz
Published: July 2024

Female students have always had a hardworking and valiant character, with high self-confidence and a powerful spirit in the university culture. The fact that there is a global gender bias in the workforce in various industries, including maritime industries cannot be denied. However, the increase in the number of female students attending maritime programmes in the universities and colleges in Malaysia, shows that the younger generation nowadays is becoming more aware of the changing perceptions of women at sea. Even though the SOR theory was highly used to predict individual future behaviour in various contexts, however, there are lack of literature employing the S-O-R theory in the maritime context's studies. Thus, to fill these gaps, by adopting the S-O-R theory, this study attempts to identify what are the factors influencing the intention to join the maritime industry among female students who studying maritime-related courses in higher institutions in Malaysia. Employing a purposive sampling method, the link to the questionnaire was distributed online, and a total of 302 respondents were gathered. The analysis with structural equation modelling with Smart PLS found that career reputation and salary expectation have a positive relationship with job image and personnel interest, and job image and personnel interest have a positive influence on intention to join the maritime industry. The findings of the study will provide insightful information which is useful for the higher institutions and employers in the maritime industry to craft better policy and recruitment strategies to attract and increase the participation of women in the maritime industry.

Authors: Rahmani Salma , Nuraeni Neni , Januri M. Fauzan
Published: July 2024

The understanding of the ju'alah contract in Islam has been a focal point of debate and analysis in fiqh literature. Ju'alah, as a form of promise to provide compensation for tasks or work performed, holds significant implications in Sharia finance practices, including Bank Wakaf Mikro. From the perspective of scholars, there are various views regarding the legal principles and implications of the ju'alah contract, often reflecting differences among schools of thought. This diversity of opinions raises questions regarding the pillars, conditions, and legal implications of ju'alah transactions. The objective of this study is to delve deeper into scholars' comprehension of the ju'alah contract, its distinctions from the ijarah contract, and its application in Bank Wakaf Mikro in Indonesia. In this study, a qualitative approach is utilized, employing a descriptive-analytical method, where data is obtained through library research methods. The research findings indicate that the arguments presented by the Maliki and Syafi'i scholars regarding ju'alah appear to be stronger due to being grounded on more solid reasoning, both in terms of evidence and societal needs. Furthermore, in analyzing the practices of Bank Wakaf Mikro, conformity with the principles of the ju'alah contract is found, both in terms of its pillars and conditions. Among the various scholars' opinions on the ju'alah contract, it is evident that the Syafi'i scholars' views are more aligned with the practices carried out by Bank Wakaf Mikro support programs.

Since the 1990’s, cleaning validations have gained a lot of interest within pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical companies. In 1988, the FDA experienced its first major incident with cross contamination traceable to inadequate cleaning and cleaning validation. The finished drug product, Cholestyramine Resin USP, was recalled due to contamination with low levels of intermediates and degradants from the production of agricultural pesticides. The cross-contamination was believed to have come from the use of drums in the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). These drums had previously been used to store solvents for the manufacture of agricultural pesticides at another plant. Extra pure methanol procured from Chempura Enterprises Indore of make Merck and Analytical Grade water procured from the SK Traders Indore M.P. Reference materials, Telmisartan from Axiom Analytical Services Indore M.P. HPLC grade methanol (MeOH), HPLC Grade Water were purchased from Chempura Enterprises Indore M.P.. All chemicals were used as received, without any further purification. In recent years, increased emphasis has been placed in pharmaceutical companies for implementing robust validated cleaning procedures. The cleaning procedure is one of the most important tasks to avoid contamination and cross- contamination of APIs in pharmaceutical products manufactured on the same equipment trains. The cleaning procedures must be supported byappropriate analytical methods and related sampling methodologies.
