In Ethiopia, comprehensive information about sero-epidemiology of major TTIs is lacking at the national level. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was aimed at providing the pooled estimate of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and syphilis among blood donors in Ethiopia. Methods Relevant studies published until May 31, 2019 were searched through PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, SCOPUS, HINARI, Cochrane database library, Web of Science, Google Scholar and Google. The methodological quality of articles was assessed using Joanna Brigg’s Institute critical appraisal checklist for prevalence and analytical studies. The pooled sero-epidemiology of HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis were determined using the random-effects model. Heterogeneity between the studies was assessed using the I2 statistics. Public...

Characterizing varies type of the lesions in a given setup has paramount importance to design effective strategy. As a result, the purpose of this study was to find out the frequency of various cytological thyroid lesions in Gondar University Hospital. Method: A retrospective data of 1010 thyroid lesions, which were registered from 2009-2013 on fine needle aspirate cytology log book, were included in the study. Descriptive statistics were done to determine the proportion of the thyroid lesions. Results: Of the total patients underwent thyroid cytological examination, 768(76%) were females. More than half of thyroid lesions were observed in patients who were under 30 years old. Benign thyroid lesions (916(90.7%)) were the commonest followed by malignant and neoplastic lesions which account 41(4.1%) and 38(3.76%) respectively. Colloid goiter (862/919(93.8%)), follicular neoplasm (30/38(78.9%)) and papillary carcinoma (25/41(61%)) were the major subtype of benign, neoplasm and malignant lesions respectively. Thyroid tuberculosis was also found in 3 (0.29%) cases of benign lesions. Conclusion: Benign lesions were the predominant thyroid lesion; of which the proportion of colloid goiter was higher compared to other subtype of benign thyroid lesions. Unusual benign lesions like thyroid tuberculosis were also observed. Malignant thyroid lesions had also contributed significant amount. Future research with histological technique, detail socio-demographic information and clinical feature is crucial to determine the patterns of thyroid lesions and associated factors.
