Hodgkin lymphoma is a common lymphoid malignancy and the diagnostic hallmark is the presence of Reed Sternberg giant cells. One of the limitations in cytodiagnosis of it is lack of representative sample. Here the author missed the diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma in fine needle aspiration cytology and diagnosed by imprint cytology taken from excised nodes. This paper is presented to emphasize the usefulness of imprint cytology in improving the diagnostic accuracy of Hodgkin lymphoma.

Aim- To clarify lifestyles including activity and food preferences and its recognition of elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods- A survey of community clinic patients was conducted. The survey included patient activity preferences and interests including physical activities, cultural activities, foods and cooking. ResultsThe three most popular activities and interests were chatting with friends, trying to prevent diseases, and compliance with drug therapy. Women tended to prefer activities related to communication and they showed high interest in healthy foods and cooking such foods. There was a significant difference in physical activities habits between the under 73 years old and the 73 years old and older groups. The results of this study showed that overall, elderly patients are highly interested in health-related information and activities. ConclusionsWhile dietary quality is better for females, they felt that they had inadequate information on managing healthy diets. Although a high proportion of the elderly were interested in diseases and nutrition, they need practical information on food preparation that they can use in their everyday lives. Communication and providing information about healthy foods could contribute to improving lifestyles for the elderly. In addition, promoting sustainable physical activity habits for the elderly over 73 years old could be an effective measure for maintaining fitness.

Background: First trimester per vaginal bleeding may be an indication of early pregnancy failure. Clinical management relies on sonography with delay or inadequate diagnosis leading to pregnancy loss or maternal mortality. Objective: To describe the ultrasound findings in patients referred with first trimester bleeding in relation to their clinical characteristics. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 201 women who had first trimester vaginal bleeding were recruited. Study was done at Moi Teaching and Referral hospital (MTRH), between November 2015 and October 2016. Associations were assessed using Fisher’s exact test and results were presented in tables and graphs. Results: Median age was 27.0 years. The most common Ultrasound findings were incomplete abortion (22.9%), Uterine Fibroids in Pregnancy was diagnosed in (15.4%) and Extra uterine Pregnancy (14.4%). Significant clinical association were; Complete and incomplete abortion was associated with prolonged and heavy bleeding (p = 0.003 and <0.001 respectively). Majority diagnosed with incomplete abortion had no history of contraceptive use (p = 0.003). Anembryonic pregnancy was associated with spotting (p = 0.008). Diagnosis of extra uterine pregnancy was associated with spotting. Conclusion: Incomplete abortion, uterine fibroids in pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy were common sonographic findings. Ectopic pregnancy was associated with previous history of contraceptive use.

The productivity of Ethiopian sheep’s can be improved by improving management and selecting best animal for future mating. This study was conducted in Habru Woreda, North Wollo Amhara region, Ethiopia with the aim to identify breeding objectives and practices of sheep production in the study area. A total of 40 households were selected purposively based on high sheep population density and production potentials. The data was gathered using semi-structured interview, direct observation and discussion with key informants. The data was summarized and analyzed using Micro soft Excel computer program and presented using tables by using descriptive statistics like frequencies and percentages. The main reason of keeping sheep in the study area was for household income generation, meat, manure, culture, breeding and ceremony respectively. The majority of breeding rams for farmers originated from own flock. Mating was uncontrolled but in rare case there is controlled mating. Selection criteria for breeding rum in the study area were growth, coat color, tail type and selection criteria for breeding ewe were lamb growth, body size, lamb survival, coat color and multiple births, respectively. Maturity age for selection of breeding ewe was reported 6-8 month. Majority of sheep breeds were indigenous breeds (87.5%) followed by cross breed ones (12.5%). There are also poor cross-breeding activities at farmers’ level and uncontrolled natural mating within local breeds was predominantly practiced by households. Selecting appropriate ewe and ram for the purpose of improving breeding objectives as well as its practice is important. To minimize the failure of sheep breed improvement program it is important to consider breed management system and trait preferences of the community.

Women constitute the most important segment of our population. Most of the middle-aged women are affected with Osteoporosis which is one of the most prevalent bone diseases in the world. The objective of the study is to assess the knowledge of middle aged women regarding the prevention of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects 55% aged 50 and above of this approximately 80 % are women one in three women and one in twelve men over the age of 50 years worldwide are estimated to have osteoporosis. Primary prevention of osteoporosis is the first and most important one especially among the middle-aged women, as they are going to attain menopause soon. As a part of primary prevention they should follow a balanced diet, calcium and vitamin D3 supplements, physical activity, prevents falls, hormone replacement therapy. Calcium and vitamin D exert a positive effect on a muscular tissue which helps in building up the mass and strength of muscles thereby promotes osteoporosis prevention. By using non experimental univarient descriptive design 60 women who met inclusion criteria were selected with convenient sampling technique. Out of 60 sample 23 (38%) had very good knowledge, twenty one had (35%) had average knowledge, nine (15%) had excellent knowledge, seven (12%) of them had good knowledge and none of them had poor knowledge. As a middle aged women attains menopause it is necessary to boost their knowledge regarding osteoporosis, where the main study focused to assess the knowledge of middle aged women on osteoporosis.

Background: In Ayurveda all the skin diseases are described under Kushtha (integumentary diseases), Kshudra roga (~minor ailments) and few systemic disorders. As per ancient scholars of Ayurveda innumerable verities of Kushtha are occurred by the vitiation of seven fold of pathogenic substance. However, for diagnosis purpose, knowledge regarding predominant Dosha (~humor) is very much essential. As the predominant vitiating pathogenic factors depict the specific verity of Kushtha and the treatment principle is also equipped on the basis of Dosha. Aims and objective: On this background the present study was carried out to diagnose the particular verity of Kushtha described by Ayurveda classics with the help of Doshik predominance and to structure a standard grading system based on classical features of Kustha. Materials and Method: Literary resources were critically analyzed in this study. All the data concerning features of Kushtha mentioned in classical Ayurveda texts were collected and visualize features were documented in the form of photography obtained from the patients to diagnose the disease accurately. Result and Conclusion: Different types of Doshaja Kushtha features were evaluated by the preliminary approach of arbitrary grading system and the model was supported with the help of clinical photographic features. This is the first preliminary approach to diagnose as well as assess the severity of the diseases kustha based on Ayurveda fundamental principles.

The study aims to assess food insecurity, identify the determinants of food insecurity and analyze the coping strategies of the rural households in Lasta wereda, Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. Primary data were collected using questionnaire survey, focus group discussion and key informant interview. Three stage sampling technique was employed to select 299 rural households in the study area. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies mean and standard deviation was used to analyze the data. Econometric analysis of Tobit model was used to identify the determinants of food insecurity, and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke model indices were employed to estimate the incidence, gap and severity of food insecurity. The head count ratio revealed that 51.8 percent of sampled households were found to be food insecure. The gap and severity of food insecurity were estimated to be 14.2 and 6 percent respectively. The results of Tobit regression model showed household size, cultivable land size, livestock ownership, oxen ownership, use of chemical fertilizer and households share of own produced food were found to be significant determinants of food insecurity in the study area. Selling livestock to buy food, reducing the quantity of meals and reducing the frequency of meals were among the common coping strategies adopted at times of decline in food availability. Family planning, off-farm income generating activities, livestock sector productivity and access to chemical fertilizer should be highly strengthened in the study area.

A study was carryout to determine the biomass yield, chemical composition and in-vitro dry matter digestibility of irrigated Cenchrus Ciliaris. The treatments had three harvesting days (60, 90 and 120) in randomized complete block design (RCBD). Stage of harvesting days had significant influence (p< 0.05) on the biomass and chemical composition of Cenchrus Ciliaris. With longer days of harvesting, there was a reduction in nutritive value of the grass; whereas at longer day of harvesting, there was the highest biomass yield. DMY, NDF, ADF and ADL and plant height were positively correlated to each other but negatively correlated to LSR, CP, total ash, and IVDMD. Biomass yield of Cenchrus Ciliaris was positively correlated with delaying stage of harvesting but nutritive value in Cenchrus Ciliaris, were negatively correlate with increasing stage of harvesting. Eventually, harvesting of Cenchrus ciliaris at 90 days had good nutritive (10.62 % CP and 12.3t/ha DM) value and biomass yield. So that, this finding creates an opportunity for the pastoralists and agro-pastoral community along the Awash River to resolve the scarcity of feed and increase the livestock productivity in the study area.
