Background: Malnutrition often affects young children and contributes to more than 60% of deaths in children in developing countries. Aggressive hospital based management of sever acute malnutrition is recommended to meet the acceptable standards regarding outcome of the treatment. This study aimed to assess the treatment outcome of severely malnourished children treated in Jimma university specialized hospital (JUSH).Methods: Retrospective reviews of charts of severely malnourished children admitted at JUSH from September 2011 to September 2012 were made. In this study, a total of 173 cards were selected using systematic sampling technique. The numbers of discharges cured, defaulted, and average length of stay in days (d) were reviewed. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify and control potential confounders. P-value

Introduction: Adamantinoma is a primary low-grade, malignant bone tumor, of unknown histogenesis which is a rare neoplasm, comprise only 0.1–0.5% of all primary bonetumors. It is slightly more common in men than women, with a ratio of 5:4. Wide tumour resection and limb salvage is the treatment of choice. Case report: A 24 year female reffered with chief complaints of pain and limping lasting for approximately 2 years. Plain X-ray showed an expansile multicystic lesion at the diaphysis of the left tibia anterior cortex with periosteal reaction . We used an oscillating bone saw to perform a total resection of the lesion preserving the anterior cortex. Tibial defect created with this resection was replaced with a 14 cm. long strut cadaveric femoral allograft that fixed to tibia with a dynamic commpresive plate (DCP) and screws. Discussion: In surgical treatment of Adamantinoma, total resection was not performed and remain intact posterior cortex to increased the patient satisfaction, at the same time, bone fixation and early weight bearing at the postoperative. We believe that the defect will be able to union with appropriate fixation of the allograft also be long size.

The development of pulmonary function and growth of physical parameters are concurrent in children. Hence, measurement of lung function is essential for evaluation of physical development of children and adolescent with respiratory disease. A cross sectional study was conducted on 200 primary, middle and high school children of 5-15 years. Their anthropometric parameters and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) were recorded and multiple regression equations for predicting PEFR from anthropometric variables were derived.

Ileostomy is a standard surgical procedure performed in order to protect the anastomosis and reduce the complication risk in colorectal surgery. Dehydration is one of the most important complications of ileostomy and dehydration-induced renal failure. We present three ileostomy cases that had undergone bowel resection for small bowel perforation, two of which due to mesenteric ischemia, and the other one due to a gunshot injury, all three developing acute renal failure. As ileostomy patients carry the risk of life-threatening renal failure and electrolyte and acid-base changes due to dehydration, clinicians should follow-up these patients closely considering the possible complications of ileostomy.
