Viable Ileosigmoid Knotting, A Very Phenomenon Finding and Rare Cause of Intestinal Obstruction: A Case Report and Literature Review
No full textSintayehu Asrat Beyene,1 Nahom Tadesse Bogale,1 Mahad Mohammed Abdinasir,1 Addisu Zegeye Desalegne,2 Megdelawit Ayalew Wossen3 1General Surgery Unit, Department of Surgery, Jigjiga University Sheik Hassen Yabare Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Jigjiga, Ethiopia; 2Department of Radiology, Jigjiga University Sheik Hassen Yabare Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Jigjiga, Ethiopia; 3School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Jigjiga University Sheik Hassen Yabare Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Jigjiga, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Sintayehu Asrat Beyene; Nahom Tadesse Bogale, Email [email protected]; [email protected]: Ileosigmoid knotting is the wrapping of an active component of either the ileum or the sigmoid colon over each other. It is an unusual cause of intestinal obstruction, accounting for 1– 2% of cases of all mechanical obstruction in the majority published literatures. A viable knot is a unique phenomenon of this seldom cause of bowel obstruction.Case Presentation: A sixteen-year-old female patient presents with a complaint of central abdominal distension and obstipation of 12-hour duration. Later, she also developed abdominal cramps and vomiting of ingested matter. Her vital signs were all in the normal range, and the abdominal examination was positive for a grossly distended abdomen with mild upper and central abdominal tenderness. The ileosigmoid knotting was clearly visible on the computed tomography. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed, and a viable ileosigmoid knot was identified. Unknotting, derotation, and decompression of the sigmoid colon were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful.Discussion: Ileosigmoid knotting is a rare, life-threatening cause of intestinal obstruction with rapid progression to intestinal vascular compromise and gangrene. It is a hyperactive segment of ileum that winds around the pedicle of the redundant sigmoid colon, resulting in a closed-loop obstruction. There are different classification schemes of ileosigmoid knotting depending on the active component of the knot and based on the viability of the bowel and physiology of the patient. Preoperative diagnosis of this condition is often challenging and usually confirmed intraoperative.Conclusion: A high index of suspicion and prompt surgical exploration are crucial for the best outcome of the patient. Despite being a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, ileosigmoid knotting poses a significant morbidity and mortality to the patient. Management of a patient with viable ileosigmoid knotting is controversial, as some scholars suggest non-resective options and others recommend resective treatment as a recurrence preventive measure.Keywords: ileosigmoid knotting, intestinal obstruction, acute abdomen, volvulus, unknotting, operative decompression, viabl
Dimensions of Poverty in Northeastern Ethiopia: Looking into Multitude Facets of Poverty for Poverty Reduction
No full textDespite efforts being made and some signs of change, poverty in Ethiopia is staggeringly high and thus the country is undoubtedly among the poorest nations in the world in which poverty persists at debilitating levels and hence becomes multifaceted and longstanding problem over periods. The situation of northeastern Ethiopia, one of the poverty stricken areas in the country, does not be different from the above situations. A thorough examination different dimension of poverty and estimating the extent of each dimension are important for policy measures to tackle poverty. This study is, therefore, aims to analyze the economic, social and institutional dimensions of poverty in the northeastern Ethiopia. The study employed rural household survey questionnaire based on income and expenditure dataset of the 400 sample households from four study weredas using a two stage random sampling method proportionate to size. Data on the demographic, socio-economic and institutional characteristics of the sample households are also collected so as to analyze the various poverty dimensions. While the cost of basic needs approach was used to determine the poverty line, FGT family of poverty indices were used to estimate the extent of poverty in monetary terms. In addition, the analysis of multidimensional poverty is also supplemented by additional measures of poverty in terms of the economic, social and institutional aspects using the summary statistics and t-tests. Concerning the monetary measures of poverty, the absolute food and total poverty line are ETB 2866.14 and 3410.71 respectively and the extreme food and total poverty lines are 2149.39.59 and 2557.77 respectively. Based on the above absolute total poverty line, the incidence of poverty in rural northeastern Ethiopia is 39 percent. With regard to the other economic and social dimensions of poverty, households identified as poor in our survey confirms that they are worse off in almost all dimensions than average or better-off households so that poverty in rural northeastern Ethiopia is truly multi-dimensional. As a result, in most cases rural households in the study areas are facing adverse socio-economic composition which in turn increases the likelihood of falling into poverty. Therefore, the identified multitude dimensions and the respective estimated magnitudes of poverty in the study areas are worth considering as a positive knock for policymakers and anyone else who may have a stake on poverty reduction and hence better livelihood of rural households in northeasten Ethiopia in particular and in the country in general.

Gender-based violence among youths in eastern Ethiopia
No full textGender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health issue and in developing countries like Ethiopia, the rate is particularly high. GBV has devastating physical and mental health effects on youths and affects educational performance. Gender inequality and discrimination, absence of power and control, social norms, the condoning of abuse, and political, economic, cultural, and religious aspects are some of the underlying factors for GBV. There are a number of cross-sectional studies on GBV in Ethiopia. However, the results from these studies are limited as they focus on sexual violence only (while youths are experiencing or perpetrating multiple types of GBV), use non-validated tools, are not representative of the general population, and have not researched GBV perpetration by male high school students in Ethiopia. Little is known about the extent of different types of GBV in the Ethiopian school setting. Therefore, one of the aims of this thesis was to determine GBV among youths in the Ethiopian school setting. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, which found a high prevalence of GBV and suggested effective prevention and intervention in sub-Saharan Africa. The meta-analysis found that GBV is very high among young students in educational institutions; therefore, a research project was designed to determine the GBV among high school students aged 15-24 years in eastern Ethiopia. The study population for this thesis was high school students (both males and females) aged 15-24 years in eastern Ethiopian schools. An institutional-based cross-sectional survey was employed, using a range of measures, including the WHO Multi-country Study on Women’s Health and Life Events and the UN Multi-country Study on men’s perpetration questionnaires. Data were collected from 2263 (1199 female and 1064 male) participants by using a multistage sampling technique. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance estimators was used to investigate the association between GBV and risk factors. Findings revealed that more than half of the study participants experienced or perpetrated any type of GBV. A considerable number of participants experienced or perpetrated multiple co-occurrences of different types of GBV. The main factors associated with the experience or perpetration of any type of GBV were having had a discussion of reproductive health with their family, being married or partnered, substance use, and being sexually active. The results revealed that GBV among females and GBV perpetration by male students were highly prevalent. This thesis suggests that effective primary and secondary prevention through the education of youths about sexual experience, pornography, substance use, and relationships could all help in reducing GBV. National-level longitudinal studies are needed to thoroughly investigate community- and society-level factors and the consequences of and possible prevention mechanisms for GBV among youths in school and out of school. Moreover, the findings of this thesis suggest that GBV prevention and counseling intervention programs are urgently needed in the school setting
