It is classified under the group of disorders called primary ciliary dyskinesias. It is a genetic disorder with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Special cells that are abnormal cells in respiratory tract lead to problems. It is caused by a defect in the structure of cilia, due to which ciliary movement, and consequently, its function, are impaired.

Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. More than 422 million adults in the world populations are living with diabetes mellitus, 40% of whom will develop CKD. CKD in diabetes increases the risk of early death and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of published data on the prevalence of CKD and its associated factors among patients with diabetes in northwest Ethiopia. Objective The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with CKD among patients with diabetes at University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2 to July 31, 2018. Using convenience sampling, a total of 272 consecutive patients with diabetes were recruited for the study. Data regarding the patients’ sociodemographic informati...

Pediatric patients (1-15 years; N = 295; from Ethiopia and Rwanda) excreting A. lumbricoides and/or T. trichiura eggs were enrolled. The study had a screening phase (3 days), a double-blind treatment phase (DBP, 19 days), and an open-label phase (OLP, 7 days). Patients received MBZ or placebo on day 1 of DBP and open-label MBZ on day 19 ± 2 after stool sample collection. Cure rates (primary endpoint), defined as species-specific egg count of 0 at the end of DBP, were significantly higher in the MBZ group than placebo for A. lumbricoides
