Determinants of Institutional Delivery in Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study
Background & aim: Government of Ethiopia is promoting institutional delivery despite the fact that there are a high number of home deliveries in the country mainly in hard-to-reach areas. Choice of institutional delivery is vital for the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortalities. The present study aimed to investigate the determinants of institutional delivery in ...
متن کاملRelationship between paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and relative proprioceptive weighting ratio of older persons with lumbar spondylosis
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and the relative proprioceptive weighting ratio during local vibratory stimulation of older persons with lumbar spondylosis in an upright position. [Subjects] In all, 74 older persons hospitalized for lumbar spondylosis were included. [Methods] We measured the relative proprioc...
متن کاملAutomated image analysis of skeletal muscle fiber cross-sectional area.
Morphological characteristics of muscle fibers, such as fiber size, are critical factors that determine the health and function of the muscle. However, at this time, quantification of muscle fiber cross-sectional area is still a manual or, at best, a semiautomated process. This process is labor intensive, time consuming, and prone to errors, leading to high interobserver variability. We have de...
متن کاملIsolated oligodontia in monozygotic twins
This case report defines a case of isolated oligodontia of 9 and 10 permanent teeth in 9-year-old monozygotic twin sisters and gives information about the possible genetic and environmental etiology, related dental anomalies and treatment options. The twins have a negative family history of hypodontia and oligodontia in their parents, as well as their paternal and maternal grandmothers and firs...
متن کاملCoeliac disease in monozygotic twins.
Coeliac disease has a high familial incidence (McCrae, 1969; Walker-Smith, 1973; McNeish and Anderson, 1974; David and Ajdukiewicz, 1975) and the mode of inheritance of susceptibility has been considered to be multifactorial (Robinson et al., 1971). Studies in twins provide an opportunity to explore the relative importance of heredity and environment in the aetiology of the disease. Thus in mon...
