    Abstract Background: Posterior uterine wall rupture is extremely uncommon in the absence of any of the commonly recognized risk factors. Even though uterine rupture is more likely in multiparous people, it cannot be believed that the uterus of a primigravid is impervious to rupture. The objective of this case report is to alert obstetricians about atypical posterior uterine wall rupture presentation in the absence of identifiable risk factors and to emphasize the worth of prompt action.
    Case presentation: A 22-year-old primigravid mother with a 12 cm vertical posterior uterine wall rupture of an unscarred uterus at St. Paul's Hospital in Ethiopia was reported to have survived an intrapartum uterine rupture during the latent early stage of labor while taking a low dose of oxytocin. The baby was saved from the abdominal cavity after an emergency laparotomy was performed. Complete hemostasis was achieved when the posterior uterine wall rupture was repaired in two layers. The patient and her baby were discharged on the fifth postoperative day smoothly.
    Conclusion: Posterior uterine wall rupture in a primigravid mother with an unscarred uterus is extremely rare, but a high index of suspicion should be kept in mind as expedited intervention is the only way to save the mother and fetus.

    Abstract Objective: Given high unmet need for contraception in Ethiopia, this study aimed to determine prevalence and factors associated with early discontinuation of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC).
    Methods: This institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 389 participants using exit interviews with clients presenting for removal of LARC at the family planning clinic of four government hospitals in Addis Ababa. SPSS version 26 was used for analysis. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression were computed.
    Result: Among the 389 clients, 236 (60.7%) discontinued early. In multivariate regression, lack of pre-insertion counseling on side effects (AOR = 3.5, p = 0. 000; 95% C.I = 1.8-6.8), presence of side effects (AOR = 1.9, p = 0. 017; 95% C.I = 1. 1- 3.4), history of abortion (AOR = 3.5, p = 0. 001; 95% C.I = 1. 6- 7.4); and no prior contraception use (AOR = 2.9, p = 0. 000; 95% C.I = 1. 6- 5.3) were positively associated with early discontinuation. Whereas insertion outside of Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (AOR = 0.4, p = 0. 000; 95% C.I = 0. 2- 0.6), and influence on choice of contraceptives by others (AOR = 0.2, p = 0. 000; 95% C.I = 0. 2- 0.4) were negatively associated with early discontinuation.
    Conclusion: Early discontinuation of LARC was high among study participants. Counseling about possible side effects and giving women the opportunity to decide their own choice of contraception might help in reducing early discontinuation.

    Abstract Background: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are prone to modifiable and non-modifiable complications, which can be grouped under metabolic syndrome (MetS). Evaluating MetS in patients with diabetes is critical for the prevention of cardiovascular disease among patients with DM. In Ethiopia, more specifically in the southwest of Ethiopia, these kinds of information are lacking. Thus, this study estimated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetic patients and its associated factors.
    Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was done from May 1 to 30, 2021. The data were collected using structured questionnaires, laboratory investigations, and anthropometric measurements. MetS was diagnosed using the modified International Diabetic Federation guidelines (IDF) and the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) criteria. The data was entered into Epidata and analyzed using SPSS software. Bivariable and multiple variable logistic regression was done to identify the factors associated with MetS. In multiple-variable logistic regression analysis, variables that have a p-value ≤ 0.05 were declared to have statistical significance.
    Result: The majority (31.4%) of study participants were within the age group of 41-50 years and the mean ± SD of age is 51.75 ± 11.66, and 54.9% of them were men. In this study, the prevalence of MetS was 31.4% and 41.2% using the IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria, respectively. Being a woman (AOR = 11.33, 95% CI; 3.73, 34.34; p < 0.001), having a lower level of education (AOR=7.10, 95% CI; 1.88, 26.70; p <0.004), and performing high physical activities (AOR=0.08, 95%CI; 0.01, 0.40; p <0.002) were significantly associated with MetS.
    Conclusion: According to this study, the magnitude of Metabolic Syndrome in Mizan-Teppi University Teaching Hospital was 31.4% and 41.2% using IDF and NCEP-ATP III criteria, respectively. Being a woman and having a lower level of education increased the odds of MetS among patients with DM while performing high physical activities decreased the odds of MetS among patients with DM. Therefore, to prevent metabolic syndrome among type 2 DM patients in the study area, it is crucial to focus on women and individuals who have not had access to adequate education. One way to do this is by prioritizing interventions that involve physical activity.

    Abstract Introduction: Pain in its various forms is undoubtedly the most common ailment known to human beings. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioid analgesics are widely used to treat pain. However, long-term use of NSAIDs and opioids causes serious adverse effects on various organs. As a result, looking for drugs with better efficacy and lesser adverse effects appears crucial. For this purpose the obvious search begins from traditional medicines, particularly herbs. Therefore, this study investigated analgesic and anti- inflammatory activity of 80% methanol root extract of
    Methods: The dried and crushed plant material was macerated with 80% methanol sequentially and dried with lyophilizer. As per the acute toxicity study conducted elsewhere, 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg doses of extract were used in the acetic acid induced writhing, hot plate test, as well as carrageenan and formalin induced anti-inflammatory models. As a positive control, aspirin 150 mg/kg was used for anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory model and morphine 10 mg/kg was used for central analgesic models.
    Results: VS200 and VS400 doses of the extract significantly (p< 0.05) reduced acetic acid induced writhing as compared with the control group. Similarly in hot plate test also, both VS200 and VS400 groups demonstrated significant (p< 0.05 at 30 min and p< 0.001 at 60 and 120 min) analgesic effect in comparison with the control and VS100 groups. Furthermore, in carrageenan and formalin induced anti-inflammatory test both VS200 and VS400 were shown to produce significant (p< 0.05) anti-inflammatory effect at the later hours and days.
    Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that 80% methanol root extract of

    Results: When wounds were treated with ointments containing 5% and 10% (w/w) extract, the rate of wound contraction, the length of time it took for the epithelium to form, and the strength of the skin to break were all significantly increased (p < 0.05). There was no discernible difference in wound healing activity between the 10% (w/w) and 5% (w/w) extracts. Moreover, they had also similar impact as that of the positive control nitrofurazone in wound healing activity. Compared to the negative control,

    Abstract Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia continues to be a significant clinical concern around the world as the consequences can be devastating. World Health Organization data indicates perinatal asphyxia is encountered amongst 6-10 newborns per 1000 live full-term birth, and the figures are higher for low and middle-income countries. Nevertheless, studies on the prevalence of asphyxia and the extent of the problem in poorly resourced southern Ethiopian regions are limited. This study aimed to determine the magnitude of perinatal asphyxia and its associated factors.
    Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was used from March to April 2020. Data was collected from charts of neonates who were admitted to NICU from January 2016 to December 31, 2019.
    Result: The review of 311 neonates' medical records revealed that 41.2% of the neonates experienced perinatal asphyxia. Preeclampsia during pregnancy (AOR = 6.2, 95%CI:3.1-12.3), antepartum hemorrhage (AOR = 4.5, 95%CI:2.3-8.6), gestational diabetes mellitus (AOR = 4.2, 95%CI:1.9-9.2), premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 2.5, 95%CI:1.33-4.7) fetal distress (AOR = 3,95%CI:1.3-7.0) and meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AOR = 7.7, 95%CI: 3.1-19.3) were the associated factors.
    Conclusion: Substantial percentages of neonates encounter perinatal asphyxia, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Focus on early identification and timely treatment of perinatal asphyxia in hospitals should, therefore, be given priority.
