by Hassan Abdi Hussein, Abdifetah Mohamed, Juhar Mohamed Ahmed
A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2017 to March 2019. A participatory epidemiological appraisal was used to gain a rapid overview of the range of camel calf health problems and traditional management, a measure of the importance that people place on each of them, and to identify and p rioritize economically important diseases in target zones.

Maternal outcomes of pre-eclampsia with severe features and its determinants at Abebech Gobena Mothers and Childrens Health and Saint Peters Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions
The prevalence of unfavourable maternal outcomes was high compared with other studies in Ethiopia. Maternal age, residence, occupation, blood pressure on admission and severe headache have shown a statistically significant association with unfavourable maternal outcomes. Socioeconomic development and early identification of severe signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia are needed to reduce unfavourable outcomes. (Source: BMJ Open)

Impairment of health-related quality of life and its determinants among patients with podoconiosis in East Wollega Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia: institutional-based cross-sectional study
Conclusion
Overall, HRQoL among patients with podoconiosis was moderately impaired. The duration of disease, ADLA, comorbidity, stigma, psychological distress and being female in sex significantly impaired HRQoL, whereas consistently wearing shoes significantly improved HRQoL among the patients with podoconiosis. Therefore, healthcare providers and public health experts should work on educating communities and counselling patients to avoid stigma and psychological distress, wearing shoes consistently and treating podoconiosis and other comorbidities among these patients.
