“…However, it absolutely was beyond a nding from Pakistan (27.6%) [11], Benin (26.5%) [21] and Ghana (32.9%) [32]. It was also quite higher as compared to nding from Nepal [18], Indonesia (4.08%) [33], Iran (12.6%) [34], Congo (7.2%) [35], Uganda (22.7%) [36] and Saint Paul's millennium medical college of Ethiopia (13.3%) [27].This nding was concordant with a previous study conducted in Iran (44.8%) [37], Southeast Nigeria (35%) [38], Rwanda (44.3%) [22], and Black lion Ethiopia [39]. This disparity could be due to sampling size, study period difference, study design, study area, methodology difference, and coverage of obstetrics care, de nitions of hyperbilirubinemia, and characteristics of the study participant.…”

Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a widespread and significant clinical problem among neonates worldwide. Globally, every year about 1.1 million babies develop it and the vast majority reside in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Studies on magnitude and factors associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia are limited in Ethiopia. So this study was aimed at assessing the prevalence and associated factors of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia among hospitalized neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit of Jimma Medical Center (JMC), Jimma, South West Ethiopia. Methods: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at JMC from July 24 to October 19, 2020. A total of two hundred twenty-two neonates with their mothers were included and conveniently selected. Data was collected by interviewing mothers through structured questionnaires and reviewing neonates' medical records using a checklist. Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Results: from a total of neo-maternal pairs included in the studies; the proportion of Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia was found to be 94(42.3%). Neo-maternal ABO incompatibility 33 (35.1%), prematurity41 (43.6%), sepsis 35 (37.2%), Neonatal birth asphyxia 20 (21.2%), and Rh isoimmunization 10 (10.6%) was significantly associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Conclusion and Recommendations: The prevalence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in the study setting was high. Antenatal care (including both mother and fetus detail examination and follow-ups) as well cautions during labor need to focus since Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia-associated factors were maternal and neonatal. Hence, further assessment, early intervention, and timely treatment are important to mitigate the burdens in neonates due to hyperbilirubinemia.

“…This is consistent with the studies of (59, 60, 61). A few participants indicated that uterine fibroids are caused by having multiple partners, although a study conducted by Azzahra, Gondodiputro (62) proved that there is no association between this factor and uterine fibroids. It was also noted that participants indicated that uterine fibroids are caused by evil spirits.…”

BackgroundUterine fibroids are the leading cause of hysterectomies among women of childbearing age. This study aims to elicit the knowledge, attitude and perceptions of childbearing women towards uterine fibroids in order to provide empirical evidence informing relevant interventions oriented toward health promotion in this regard.MethodsA quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive design was used and data were collected from a sample of 362 women of reproductive age residing in a selected township in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Ethical approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Durban University of Technology’s Institutional Research Ethics’ Committee (IREC – Ref No. BIREC 014/21). A pre-tested survey was conducted to gather data on knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions concerning uterine fibroids. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 27, employing descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics were also conducted to examine associations between key variables and respondents who self-reported being diagnosed with uterine fibroids.ResultsMost participants, 73.8% (n=267), had no awareness of uterine fibroids. Participants also demonstrated poor knowledge regarding the aetiology and symptoms of the condition. However, most participants, 49.2% (n=178), perceived uterine fibroids to be of spiritual origin, citing evil spirits and witchcraft as the cause. Participants subsequently reported that treatment would require herbal approaches and consultation with spiritualists such as traditional healers and seers. In summary, the study highlights various factors influencing self-reporting behaviours, including age, education level, employment status, marital status, number of children, awareness of the condition, perception of requiring treatment, family history, and symptom severity.Discussion and conclusionThe study findings seem to suggest that women in the selected township lack accurate knowledge about uterine fibroids. These insights are valuable for shaping targeted health interventions and policies. Recognizing the complexities of self-reporting is crucial for improving health outcomes through early detection and tailored interventions.

Case Report: Severe COVID-19 with Late-Onset Sepsis-like Illness in a Neonate

ABSTRACT. A case of severe COVID-19 with late-onset sepsis-like illness is presented in a neonate. A male infant was born to a mother with mild COVID-19 symptoms and positive IgG anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through spontaneous vaginal delivery. He and his mother were then confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection. His condition was stable and discharge from the hospital was planned. However, on day 6 of care, his condition deteriorated, and after treatment with the COVID-19 protocol and antibiotic administration (because neonatal sepsis had not been ruled out), his condition gradually improved and he was discharged in good clinical condition without any sequelae. The pitfalls of this case are the presence of late-onset severe COVID-19, and the difficulty in monitoring patients in isolation rooms, which makes it challenging to differentiate and manage therapy between severe COVID-19 and neonatal sepsis. The similarities between the presentation of sepsis and severe COVID-19 require a thorough anamnesis, careful observation, and a thorough workup for alternative causes of sepsis to be able to make wise antibiotics treatment decisions, to prevent mismanagement, and to reduce morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia.
