Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), which includes gastric and duodenal ulcers, is a common condition with symptoms including epigastric or abdominal pain. It is multifactorial, with physiological, demographic and environmental risk factors, some of which make it more prevalent in developing countries. Aims: This study aims to assess the symptoms of and risk factors for PUD among students at Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia. Methods: This institutional based cross-sectional study design used a self-administered questionnaire to collect data for analysis. This included logistic regression analysis, in which a p-value of <0.05 at 95% CI indicated statistical significance. Findings: Of the 240 respondents, 41.3% had symptoms indicative of PUD. Most students developed symptoms after enrolling at university and primarily managed them with medication. PUD-like symptoms were found to be associated with year of study, frequent Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs use, smoking, prolonged fasting and anxiety. Conclusions: PUD is highly prevalent in this setting. Therefore, the university may wish to raise awareness of PUD and aim to reduce anxiety among students.

AbstractPeptic ulcer disease (PUD) is caused by many sociodemographic and economic risk factors other than H. pylori infection. However, no studies reported an association between PUD and the number of household members. We showed the number of family members affected by PUD based on sex in a Korean population. This cross-sectional study used 1998–2009 data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Multiple binary logistic regression models adjusted for confounders were constructed to analyze the association of PUD with the number of household members. The number of household members was associated with PUD, age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, glucose, location (urban/rural), income, education level, stress, current drinking, and smoking in both sexes. Men with other household members had a higher PUD risk compared to men or women living alone (reference), and the opposite was observed for women. Men with 4 household members had a higher PUD risk than men living alone in the model adjusted for age, BMI, income, location, education, and stress (OR = 2.04 [95% CI 1.28–3.27], p value = .003). Women with more than 6 household members had a lower PUD risk than women living alone in the adjusted model (OR = 0.50 [0.33–0.75], p value = .001). Women with more household members had a lower PUD risk. However, more men had PUD than women regardless of the number of household members.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the common presentations in the medical as well as Gastroenterology clinics and it can end up in various short- and long-term complications among which osteoporosis is highly under rated. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine the frequency of osteoporosis in cases having PUD. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine during 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2020 in Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. The diagnosed cases of PUD on the basis of history and endoscopic findings with the age range of 20 to 60 years were included. Osteoporosis was labelled as yes, where a T-score of ≤ -2.5 on DEXA scan was noted. RESULTS: In this study, there were a total of 139 cases, out of which 75 (53.95%) were males and 64 (46.05%) females. The mean age of the participants was 48.11±9.43 years. Osteoporosis was observed in 14 (10.07%) out of 139 cases. Osteoporosis was seen in 05 (6.67%) males vs 09 (14.06%) females in their respective groups with p= 0.148. Osteoporosis was observed in 4 (5.80%) cases with a duration of PUD up to 2 years and 10 (14.28%) cases with duration more than this with p= 0.096 CONCLUSION: Osteoporosis is not uncommon in cases with Peptic ulcer disease, and there is no significant association with any of the confounders of this study.

Abstract Background Malaria continues to be a major health problem in developing sub-Saharan countries including Ethiopia. Malaria is a complex disease and its local characteristics are determined by a variety of geographical, environmental, insect vector, host, and parasite factors.Methods A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of malaria and its possible association with hemoglobin level and ABO blood group among individuals attending Mekaneeyesus Primary Hospital, Estie District, northwestern Ethiopia. Socio-demographic variables and relevant data were collected from 390 randomly selected individuals through structured questionnaire. Then, thick and thin smears were prepared from finger pricked blood samples, stained, and examined microscopically for detection and identification of malaria parasites. ABO blood group and hemoglobin levels of the same subjects were also determined. The data generated were entered into a computer and analyzed for descriptive and logistic regression models using SPSS version 23.0. Variables with p-value < 0.05 in multivariable logistic regression were considered as explanatory variables.Results The overall prevalence of malaria was 8.5%; Plasmodium vivax (5.6%) was the most predominant, followed by P. falciparum (2.3%), and mixed infection of the two species (0.5%). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, being male (AOR = 3.48), under-five years of age (AOR = 72.84), rural residence (AOR = 2.64), and failing to use bed net (AOR =4.65) were significantly associated with the risk of malaria infection. Most (14.6%) of malaria positives cases were among individuals with blood group “A”, while the least number of cases were among subjects with blood group “O”. Individuals with blood group “A” were about four times more likelihood of getting malaria as compared to individuals with blood group “O” (AOR= 3.74). The prevalence of anemia was 23% and significantly associated with malaria (p<0.05).Conclusions Malaria in the study area is still higher than the average prevalence at country level. Therefore special attention should be given to the prevention and control strategies with the objective of increasing the awareness of local community towards malaria.

`Objective: To know the prevalence of ABO and Rhesus blood groups.Design: Observational cross sectional study. Setting: Blood transfusion Center Tehsil Headquarter HospitalLiaquatpur. Subjects and Methods: The data of blood donors from 2001 to 2003. Results: Total numbers of donorsstudied were 1389. The commonest ABO blood group was O present in 44.56% (CL 41.97% - 47.20%) followed byB in 32.54% (CL 30.13% - 35.06%), A in 20.88% (CL 18.82% - 23.10%) and AB in 2.02% (CL 1.39% - 2.91%) donorswhile 90.35% (CL 88.68% - 91.80%) donors were Rh +ve and 9.65% (CL 8.20% - 11.32%) were Rh -ve. Thecommonest ABO +ve group was O +ve present in 40.03% (CL 37.48% - 42.69%) followed by B +ve in 30.31% (CL27.95% - 32.78%), A +ve in 18.21% (CL 16.27% - 20.34%) and AB +ve in 1.8% (CL 1.21% - 2.66%) donors. The mostcommon ABO -ve was O -ve present in 4.54% (CL 3.56% - 5.77%), A -ve in 2.66% (CL 1.93% - 3.66%), B -ve in 2.23%(CL 1.57% - 3.17%) donors. Conclusion: Blood group O is the commonest ABO blood group and 90.35% are RH +vein this area.
