In the world today, many people use various communication technologies, like as computer-aided equipment, the internet, and so on. In information communication technologies, people use social media as one of the tools with which to exchange their ideas in everyday communications. Hence, the present study aimed at examining social media usage in improving English language proficiency from the viewpoint of medical students among Ethiopian public university students.

A descriptive survey design was employed since the purpose of this study was to gain detail information about social media usage in improving English language proficiency from the viewpoint of medical students. Hence, the researchers intended to use a quantitative approach. This is because a quantitative methodology helps researchers calculate the results more easily and avoid the difficulties which a qualitative approach might entail.

The reports obtained from respondents showed that social media (SM) platforms have many advantages in improvige learning-teaching process, social media platforms have many advantages in enhancing medical students' English proficiency in their own learning and teaching practices. Gender did not influence the attitude of students in using social media for learning English or improve their proficiency in the process of language learning.

Our study aims to produce an estimation of the keratoconus disease epidemiology and important demographic factors in disease presentation in Najran city in the south of Saudi Arabia.

Keratoconus patients between 9 and 29 years of age at the eye clinic of King Khaled General Hospital in Najran Province with a confirmed diagnosis of keratoconus were recruited over one year period. Visual acuity, keratometry, corneal thickness and demographic data were collected and analysed.

The keratoconus prevalence in Najran Province was found to be 87.3 cases per 100,000 people with an incidence of 28.47 per 100,000 cases. The disease presented more frequently in male patients (67.9%) with a statistically significant difference in the mean age between genders (p=0.014). Most cases presented at a moderate stage, and almost half of the cases reported a family history of the disease. There were statistically significant differences in best visual acuity and corneal thickness between genders (p<0.05). Apoptosis inhibitor The majority of the cases were managed with contact lenses (56.08%).

Genetic and environmental factors could have a substantial role in the increased rate of keratoconus presentation in Najran Province. Screening programmes should dedicate more attention to late presentation to improve prevention and early detection. More studies on keratoconus epidemiology in Saudi Arabia are needed.

To assess the prevalence of occupational ocular injury and associated factors among small-scale industry workers in Gondar town, Northwest Ethiopia.

Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 542 manufacturing and construction workers in Gondar town from April 23 to May 4, 2019. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data using face-to-face interview. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with occupational ocular injury.

A total of 542 small-scale industry workers participated with a 95.1% response rate. The prevalence of occupational ocular injury was 31.4% (95% CI, 27.2-35.5). Employment pattern (temporary workers) (AOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.14-2.95), health and safety training (AOR 2.22, 95% CI 1.06-4.66), non-use of eye safety device (AOR 7.43, 95% CI 4.44-12.43), and job category (woodwork (AOR 0.56, 95% CI 0.32-0.97)), and brickwork (AOR 2.19, 95% CI 1.08-7.21) had statistically significant with occupational ocular injury.

This study showed the prevalence of occupational ocular injury among small-scale industry workers was 31.4%. Iron chips are the most common agent responsible for the injury. Type of employment, having health and safety training, use of eye safety devices, and job category had a significant association with occupational ocular injury.

We aimed to analyze the relationship between estradiol level and thromboelastography profile.

This prospective study with comparative analysis was performed on nineteen samples undergoing an IVF procedure in two fertility clinics in Bandung city. Blood samples taken on the second and twelfth days of the IVF cycle.

There were significant differences in the value of estradiol, fibrin formation time (α), and coagulation index (CI) (

<0.05). Correlation tests showed no relationship and no significant correlation between an increased level of estradiol and coagulation index (CI) (



=0.054;

=0.827) and between an increased level of estradiol and fibrinolysis time (LY30) (



=-0.151;

=0.536). A moderate significant relationship was observed between age and coagulation index (CI) (



=-0.430;

=0.033) and between age and maximum amplitude (MA) (



=-0.494;

=0.032).

Supraphysiological estradiol levels in controlled ovarian stimulation cycles affect the coagulation index and change mainly the fibrin formation time.

Perioperative anemia is a common comorbid condition associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.

We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to determine the efficacy and safety of the use of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) for the treatment of perioperative anemia in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative elective surgical care.

Studies meeting inclusion criteria for the SLR reported on treatment efficacy in an adult study population randomly allocated to FCM for the treatment of perioperative anemia during the perioperative period. After screening, 10 of 181 identified studies from searches in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were identified for inclusion in this review.

Preoperative treatment was reported in six studies, intraoperative treatment in one study, postoperative treatment in two studies, and both pre- and postoperative treatment in one study. Together, 1975 patients were studied, of whom 943 were randomized to FCM, of whom 914 received FCM treatment.
