Accurate estimation of liver disease using the new enhanced machine learning algorithm
Get PDFChronic liver syndrome is a major cause of death and disease worldwide. It ensues all over the world regardless of age, gender, area or race. Cirrhosis is an final consequence of a lot of liver sicknesses characterised with fibrosis and architectural alteration of the liver with the development of the liver with the formation of renewing swellings and can have different medical exhibitions and impediments.

Determinant and status of income disparity among urban households: The case of north Shewa Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia
Get PDFThe policy message for the developing world was clear: you can’t expect to have both lower poverty and less inequality while you remain poor, and if you choose to give poverty reduction highest priority then focus on growth. Ethiopia’s experience is a case in point for the complex interaction between inequality and growth. Structural transformation and poverty reduction may require the implementation of reforms that could lead to an increase in income disparities in addition to the growth of economy. Urban inequality has been given less attention on research and development agenda of Ethiopia particularly for medium towns like zone and district town of North Shewa Zone. In Ethiopia, annual urban population growth rate is estimated to be above 4.3 %. In line with this income inequality in urban areas income inequality is growing up and the incidence of urban poverty in developing country like Ethiopia is very high. Thus, the present study aims to identify the determinant and status of income inequality among urban households of North Shewa Zone Oromia National regional state by using Gini index and multiple regression models on the data collected from 400 respondents
Community-based intervention for the prevention of stunting in children age 6-59 months: A systematic review
Get PDFStunting is still a primary nutritional problem in many parts of the world. Globally, WHO (2021) has stated that 22% of children under five years are stunted, equalling an estimated 149.2 million children, most of whom are found in Asia and Africa. Many factors cause stunting, so the government needs a multisectoral approach to overcome this problem. In addition, because stunting is prevalent across vast areas, community-based interventions can save time and handling costs. This study was conducted with the aim of finding evidence of community-based interventions in the management of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. The study employed systematic review methods using the databases Pubmed, Ebsco, ProQuest, Emerald, Scopus and Google Scholar. 7 articles were identified from a total of 1191 articles through analysis using the PICO approach. The analysis showed that community-based interventions have taken place employing education, training, dietary supplements, and monitoring growth and development. The findings show evidence of interventions overcoming the problem of stunting in children aged 6-59 months

A microbiological study of surgical infections in tertiary care hospital of Rewa District
Get PDFMost common involvement of aerobes and anaerobes is observed in surgical infections. They are mostly polymicrobial. 52 cases comprised of abscesses and study of 19 cases with wounds having devitalized tissues was done. Abscess had highest micro organism, which were isolated per lesion. The ratio of aerobe to anaerobe was 8.6 and 5.5 in group A and group B respectively. Predominant aerobes were S. aureus and E coli while predominant anaerobes were Bacteroides fragilis and Peptostreptococcus anaerobius. Surgical Infection are more with contaminated surgical wound than clean surgical wound. Commonly E. coli and S aureus were causing surgical infections.
