Authors: Eldebeis Hassan M.H. , El Masry Ayman M. , Elmowafi Mohamed A. 
Published: July 2024

Background
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) in the distal end of the radius present unique challenges in balancing oncological clearance with preserving functional capabilities. This study aims to provide a comprehensive comparison between extended curettage with adjuvants and wide resection with reconstruction for GTCs of the distal radius, addressing outcomes such as recurrence rates, functional scores, and complications.

Patients and methods
A systematic review of the literature was conducted, involving databases such as MEDLINE, Cochrane library, and PubMed. Inclusion criteria comprised comparative cohort studies in English, comparing extended curettage with adjuvants versus wide resection with reconstruction in patients with GCTs of the distal end radius. Outcome measures included functional outcomes (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society, disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand), recurrence, metastasis, postoperative complications, and quality of life.

Results
The literature search identified 17 retrospective comparative cohort studies that met the inclusion criteria. The studies included 527 procedures, with an average participant age of 33.49 years and a mean follow-up of 7.1 years. The pooled estimate showed a significantly lower recurrence rate with wide resection (7.7%) compared with extended curettage with adjuvants (28.4%). Functional outcomes favored extended curettage in terms of visual analog scale pain scale and disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score, with no significant difference in range of motion but higher grip strength in the curettage group. Complication rates were higher with wide resection.

Conclusion
While extended curettage with adjuvants may pose a higher risk of recurrence, it demonstrates promise for improved functional outcomes. The study suggests that extended curettage leads to reduced pain and disability scores compared with wide resection, with a higher grip strength. The findings contribute to the ongoing discussion on the optimal management of GCTs in the distal radius, highlighting the importance of balancing oncological considerations with functional outcomes. However, study limitations, including retrospective designs and potential selection bias, should be considered in interpreting the results.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Computed Tomography plays a priceless role for diagnostic and therapeutic purpose; however, applying an optimized Computed Tomography Technique to produce qualified image while delivering minimum radiation dose to patients is the common challenge. The main objective of this study was to establish local diagnostic reference levels for adult patients who visited abdominopelvic Computed Tomography examination.
METHODS: A total of 158 patients who had taken abdominopelvic Computed Tomography examination from three selectedAmhara region hospitals were investigated. Both prospective and retrospective techniques of data collection were used while collecting the data in the entire sample. Two GE - Optima Computed Tomography 540 (16 slices) and one Phillips – Brilliance (64slices), were employed during data collections. Data for patient demographics scan protocols, Computed Tomography dose descriptors and machine specifications were collected and analyzed by using SPSS software version 26.
RESULTS: The third quartile estimated computed tomography dose index volume and dose length product, which is the local Diagnostic Reference Levels, were 12 mGy and 1904 cm.mGy respectively. The investigated local Diagnostic Reference Levels of Computed Tomography Dose index volume (mGy) was comparable to other international Diagnostic Reference Levels. However, the third quartile value of dose length product (cm.mGy) was higher than other reported international Diagnostic Reference Levels.
CONCLUSION: The values of local Diagnostic Reference Levels presented in this work can be used as a baseline upon which future dose measurements can be compared in Amhara region.

BACKGROUND: Rapid Ethical Assessment (REA) is a rapid qualitative study anticipated to understand the ethical sphere of the research setting prior to recruiting study subjects. This study assessed the communities’ knowledge about tuberculosis (TB) and research, understand the social arrangements advisable for recruiting research participant and appraised the information provision and consent process.
METHODS: The study was conducted in Amhara region, Ethiopia from 5th-30th January 2021. Google-based survey, face-to-face in-depth interview and focus group discussion were carried out to collect the data from researchers, data collectors, health professionals, TB program officers. A structured questionnaire was administered to assess the knowledge of TB patients and healthy controls about TB, research, gene, (co)evolution and consent process.
RESULTS: Over 71% of researchers were not satisfied with the current consent process, and 82.7% of researchers agreed that the best interest of the research participants was not adequately addressed in the current research practices in ANRS. TB patients and healthy controls misunderstood research and its goals. Participants advised the researchers to approach the community with the assistance of health extension workers (HEW) or religious/local leaders. Combined use of verbal and written based information provision at individual participant level is the preferred way for information provision.
CONCLUSIONS: The adherence of researchers to standard information provision and consent process was very low. Healthy controls and TB patients have low level of knowledge and awareness about research, ethics and genomic research-related common terms. Hence, public education is required to strengthen the research ethics in the region.

Authors: Kaveh Figh Shilanabadi  , Fatemeh Khadivi Derakhshan  , Saber Raeghi  
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Human infection with Enterobius vermicularis occurs worldwide. The most common clinical manifestation of a pinworm infection is an itchy anal region. This parasite is incidentally found in appendicitis. This study aims to characterize and genotype this parasite from different samples inferred by mt-DNA.
METHODS: Forty appendectomies for acute clinical appendicitis, 40 positive scotch-tape samples, and 10 adult females worm isolated from patients. Genetic differentiation, haplotype differences, and isolates population structure were analyzed based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene.
RESULTS: It has been demonstrated that all isolations in the appendectomies specimens are similar, and the genetic difference divergence is seen in adult worm specimens. The neutral indices of the samples did not show a significant difference and show that there is no intra-specific and population distribution diversity.
CONCLUSION: Our results show different haplotypes in the B type of E. vermicularis population and add new information about genotyping of these parasites in Iran. In comparison with other studies, intra-specific variation of this parasite from Iran was observed.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Inequalities in food allocation related to social norms among household members significantly affect the nutritional status and well-being of the vulnerable members of the household, such as adolescent girls. This study assesses the association between social norms related to intrahousehold food allocation and young adolescent girls' thinness.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 1,083 pairs of mothers/caregivers and young adolescent girls. Data were collected using a structured and pretested questionnaire. Multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression analysis was employed to examine associations using STATA/SE V.14 statistical software. In addition, a stratified analysis was done to investigate the effect of social norms on thinness in food-secure and food-insecure households.
RESULT: The overall prevalence of young adolescent girls' thinness was 15.70% (95% CI 13.52–17.86%). Young adolescent girls' thinness was associated with mothers’/caregivers' conformity to inequitable intrahousehold food allocation social norms in food-secure households [Adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.43, 95% CI: 1.14–1.80] but not in food-insecure households.
CONCLUSION: Nearly 16% of adolescent girls were thin. Mothers/female caregivers conforming to inequitable intrahousehold food allocation social norms compromise the nutritional status of adolescent girls, particularly in food-secure households. The lack of statistically significant association in food-insecure households hints at the need to address inequality in food-secure households while addressing food shortage to improve the nutritional status of adolescents in low-income countries. We also recommend more studies in different sociocultural contexts to fully gather the evidence for adopting appropriate policies and practices.

Authors: Selamawit Alemseged  , Endale Tefera  
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment has transformed the course and outcome of congenital heart defects in high-income countries, but children with congenital heart diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to cardiac surgery is limited, often experience the natural course of untreated lesions and their complications. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of hematologic derangements among Ethiopian children with unoperated cyanoticcongenital heart diseases, to identify factors associated with coagulopathy in this population, and to describe how these complications are managed in this setting.
METHODS: In this single-center cross-sectional study, we prospectively collected clinical and demographic data from children (<18 years) with cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Blood samples were collected to measure hematologic parameters. Polycythemia was defined as hematocrit >50% and thrombocytopenia as <150,000 per microliter.
RESULTS: Among 70 children recruited, the overall prevalence of polycythemia and thrombocytopenia was 63% (n=44) and 26% (n=18), respectively. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, hematocrit ³65% (p-value=.024), and oxygen saturation <85% (p-value=.018) were independently associated with moderate or severe thrombocytopenia. Thirty-one (44%) patients had undergone therapeutic phlebotomy, and 84% (26/31) of these patients received iron supplementation.
CONCLUSION: We report a high prevalence of polycythemia and thrombocytopenia in Ethiopian children with untreated cyanotic congenital heart diseases. There was variable implementation of iron supplementation and therapeutic phlebotomy, highlighting the need to optimize supportive management strategies in this population to mitigate the risk of life-threatening complications.
Spenden, Retten, Helfen: Das "ferne Kind" und die Transnationalisierung der Wohltätigkeit 1830-1930
Authors: Stornig Katharina 
Published: July 2024

Die Entstehung einer Kultur des transnationalen Helfens ist Teil der Geschichte des europäischen Kolonialismus Kinder sind heutzutage aus der Werbung für Spenden nicht wegzudenken. Trotz Kritik gelten Bilder und Erzählungen von weltweit in Not geratenen Kindern als besonders wirksames Instrument, um Menschen emotional zu erreichen und zu wohltätigen Gaben zu bewegen. Katharina Stornig zeigt, dass die Figur des »zu rettenden Kindes« in geografisch fernen Ländern eine lange Geschichte hat. Sie wurde bereits im 19. Jahrhundert von religiösen Vereinen geschaffen und zu Werbezwecken genutzt. Ab den 1930er Jahren generierten auch im deutschsprachigen Europa Vereine, die im Rahmen der christlichen Missionsbewegung und vor dem Hintergrund europäischer Expansionsbestrebungen entstanden waren, Spendengelder für ferne Weltregionen. Die kulturhistorische Analyse ihrer Aktivitäten zeigt, dass religiöse Vereine Narrative des »Rettens« und »Helfens« verbreiteten und in Praktiken des transnationalen Gebens überführten. Dabei adressierten sie ihre Mitglieder als potente »Retter«/»Retterinnen« bzw. »Helfer«/»Helferinnen« von als »bedürftig« erklärten Menschen und insbesondere Kindern in fernen Ländern und (re-)produzierten am Ende auch koloniale Differenz und Ungleichheit.
