Background: Despite all the effort it has been taken, preterm birth is the most prevailed problem in modern obstetrics, in which it 40% of under-five death is accounted due to prematurity. In Ethiopia, 34% of neonatal deaths prematurity are because of prematurity. The multifactorial nature of factors related to preterm birth makes its etiology of poorly understood. In this regard, the evidence is limited in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess preterm birth and associated factors in Southern Ethiopia. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 258 samples from February to April 2018 in Jinka General hospital, Southern Ethiopia. By using face-to- face interviews, the data were collected and extracted using a structured extraction sheet from mothers' charts. Gestational age was calculated either by using the last menstrual period or Ballard maturity examination. Binary logistic regression was applied to control confounders. Results: Among mothers (n=258) enrolled in this study data on preterm birth was revealed 28.4%, in which the average age of subjects were between 18 to 34 years. The probability. of developing preterm birth were increased among subjects with gestational diabetes mellitus and no antenatal attendance (AOR=4.65, 95% CI=1.46, 14.80) was found to have a significant statistical association with preterm birth. Conclusion: The mangnitude of preterm birth in jinka general hospital was 28.4%. Having no antenatal visit and diabetes mellitus during pregnancy were significantly associated with preterm birth. Women should be encouraged to receive antenatal care in order to mitigate preterm birth in the study area. It is essential to give attention to increase the number of pregnant women who are visiting a hospital for perinatal care, yet further investigation is needed.

Background: Internet addiction is a common problem in university students and negatively affects cognitive functioning, leads to poor academic performance and engagement in hazardous activities, and may lead to anxiety and stress. Behavioural addictions operate on a modified principle of the classic addiction model. The problem is not well inspected in Africa including Ethiopia. Objectives: The purpose of this is to investigate internet use patterns, internet addiction and its association with psychological self-esteem among Bahir Dar University students from December to May 2018/2019 in Bahir Dar University Peda Campus, Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study among 359 Bahir Dar University Peda campus students by using a self-administered questionnaire. The study subjects were selected randomly using a stratified sampling technique. The researcher used both descriptive and inferential statistics to present the study findings. Bi-variate techniques, independent sample T-Test and ANOVA were used for continuous variables; Pearson product moment correlation was used for measuring associations. Results: The results show that 91.3% of university students were using the Internet at the time of data collection from which majority 58.2% of them used Smartphone to access the internet. The majority of student under category of normal 36.7% and moderate (33.7%) level Internet addiction, and there is statistically significant difference between sex at (t=2.0, p = .001) in Internet addiction score. There is a negative relationship between students' level of Internet addiction and psychological self-esteem level. Conclusion: The current study documents a high prevalence of internet addiction among University students. Factors associated with internet addiction were spending more time, having mental distress, playing online games, current that chewing, and current alcohol use. As internet addiction becomes an evident public health problem, carrying out public awareness campaigns may be a fruitful strategy to decrease its prevalence and effect. Besides to this, a collaborative work among stakeholders is important to develop other trendy, adaptive, and sustainable countermeasures
背景:网络成瘾是大学生普遍存在的问题，会对认知功能产生负面影响，导致学习成绩不佳，参与危险活动，并可能导致焦虑和压力。行为成瘾是根据经典成瘾模型的修改原则运作的。在包括埃塞俄比亚在内的非洲，这个问题没有得到很好的检查。目的:本研究的目的是调查2018年12月至2019年5月在埃塞俄比亚巴希尔达尔大学佩达校区的巴希尔达尔大学学生的互联网使用模式、网络成瘾及其与心理自尊的关系。方法:采用问卷调查的方法，对巴希尔达尔大学佩达校区359名学生进行机构横断面调查。研究对象采用分层抽样法随机选择。研究人员使用描述性和推断性统计来呈现研究结果。对连续变量采用双变量技术、独立样本t检验和方差分析;使用Pearson积差相关来测量相关性。结果:91.3%的大学生在数据收集时正在使用互联网，其中58.2%的大学生使用智能手机上网。大多数学生在正常(36.7%)和中度(33.7%)水平的网络成瘾类别下，并且在网络成瘾得分上存在性别差异(t=2.0, p = 0.001)。大学生网络成瘾水平与心理自尊水平呈负相关。结论:目前的研究表明，大学生网络成瘾的患病率很高。与网络成瘾相关的因素包括花费更多的时间、精神困扰、玩网络游戏、咀嚼口香糖和饮酒。由于网瘾已成为一个明显的公共卫生问题，开展提高公众认识运动可能是减少其流行程度和影响的有效战略。除此之外，利益相关者之间的协同工作对于制定其他新潮、适应性强、可持续的对策也很重要

Coronavirus cases flooding to new highs and countless antibody dosages coming, the pressing factor is on to convince Americans to get vaccinated. General wellbeing couriers are attempting to meet that objective, however are confronting steep difficulties. Readiness to get a COVID-19 immunization has consistently gone up among U.S. grown-ups, yet suspicion stays a genuine obstruction to accomplishing group resistance — and doing as such in an evenhanded manner. A December overview from Kaiser Family Foundation found 71% of grown-ups would get a COVID-19 immunization that was resolved protected by researchers and accessible for nothing, up from 63% in September. In any case, in excess of a quarter were as yet reluctant, saying they presumably or unquestionably would not get inoculated In another study from general wellbeing gatherings, including the National Association of County and City Health Officials, just 50% of overview respondents said they would or most likely get inoculated, and a full 39% were uncertain, liking to keep a watch out how well vaccinations continue. Question of antibody wellbeing and viability is particularly high among Blacks and Hispanics, who likewise face higher paces of death and hospitalization from COVID-19 than whites With COVID-19 sicknesses stressing clinics, laborers and wellbeing frameworks across the U.S., authorities need to ensure the current year's influenza season doesn't deteriorate the circumstance
冠状病毒病例激增至新高，无数抗体剂量即将到来，当务之急是说服美国人接种疫苗。一般福利快递公司正试图实现这一目标，但却面临着严峻的困难。在美国成年人中，接受COVID-19免疫接种的意愿一直在上升，但怀疑仍然是实现群体抵抗的真正障碍——并且以公平的方式做到这一点。凯撒家庭基金会(Kaiser Family Foundation) 12月份的一项综述发现，71%的成年人会接种COVID-19免疫接种，这种免疫接种得到了研究人员的保护，并且可以免费获得，高于9月份的63%。无论如何，超过四分之一的人仍然不愿意，他们说他们可能或毫无疑问不会接种疫苗。在另一项来自包括全国县和市卫生官员协会在内的一般健康聚会的研究中，只有50%的总体受访者表示他们会或最有可能接种疫苗，39%的人不确定，喜欢密切关注疫苗接种的持续情况。黑人和西班牙裔的抗体健康和生存能力问题尤其高，他们也面临着比白人更高的死亡和住院率。美国各地的诊所、劳动者和福利框架都面临着COVID-19疾病的压力，当局需要确保今年的流感季节不会恶化这种情况

Diabetes is an ongoing, metabolic infection described by raised degrees of blood glucose (or glucose), which leads after some time to genuine harm to the heart, veins, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most well-known is type 2 diabetes, ordinarily in grown-ups, which happens when the body becomes impervious to insulin or doesn't make sufficient insulin. In the beyond thirty years the commonness of type 2 diabetes has risen drastically in nations of all pay levels. Type 1 diabetes, once known as adolescent diabetes or insulin-subordinate diabetes, is an ongoing condition where the pancreas delivers practically zero insulin without help from anyone else. For individuals living with diabetes, admittance to reasonable treatment, including insulin, is basic to their endurance. There is a universally concurred focus to stop the ascent in diabetes and weight by 2025. Medical care experts just as open approach producers are very much aware of the general wellbeing effect of diabetes. Diabetes is a quiet infection – numerous victims became mindful that they have diabetes just when they foster one of its dangerous intricacies. Information on diabetes mellitus can aid early recognition of the infection and decrease the frequency of intricacies. In this way, significant endeavors had been placed in to advise the general population about diabetes. Albeit much exertion has been committed to teaching the general population about diabetes through different types of media, the effect of such endeavors still can't seem to be authoritatively assessed. It isn't realized how much people in general really thinks about diabetes through the current projects. A comprehension of the degree of public mindfulness is useful for wellbeing teachers to anticipate future projects. In any case, a writing search recovered no article fair and square of diabetes information in everyone. Endeavors in this space were coordinated towards estimating patients' information.

The systematic structural transformation of the system and the introduction of new technologies are not enough to create an effective system for the medical quality control. It is supposed, that the health care quality management system will be phased, so, it is necessary to emphasize the change in management decisions of medical care quality. The purpose of the research is to alter the traditional scheme of medical expertise conceptualization into innovation, which is based on effective motivation of staff. The object of the study was Astghik Medical Center, which is a multi-functional medical center. Combining medical errors with different components of medical care quality, determines the degree of their significance, which allows dividing medical error into 4 classes. Taking into account the severity of the medical error, the degree of discrepancy is divided into 6 classes. We have developed a Medical Record Examination Questionnaire: 340 medical records have been examined. The research results show, that, the second class of health care quality discrepancy is most common. As a result of analyzing, the following errors were discovered: Gather information about the patient (25.5%), drug therapy -the absence of the prescribed medication, the improper use of the medication (0.8%), error in treatment continuity (10.8%). The received data indicate that it is necessary to develop and introduce managerial decisions that will result in a reduction of medical care discrepancy error. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to set up a working group, whose staff is desirable to involve the chiefs of departments and the assistant of chief doctor. Thus, managing of medical care quality within the limits of a separate medical institution confirms, that medical care quality can be improved by correctly using information about quality, by purposeful activity of the head, which will be aimed at solving main problem of medical care quality.
