Background: Increasing premarital sex and its consequences are the issues of global concern and related to broad social, economic and health issues. Because of the risky sexual practice and non-voluntary nature of their sexual activities, adolescents and youths are more likely to contract HIV and other STIs. The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude of Risky Sexual Practices and Associated Factors among Preparatory School.Methods: Cross-sectional school based study was conducted among 1238 preparatory school students in Nifas Silk Lafto sub city in Addis Ababa from November 2012 to April 2013. Multistage cluster sampling method was used. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis. P-value was used to test the association of independent variables with risky sexual practice.Results:Â Four hundred twenty six (34.4%) of students reported being engaged in to at least one risky sexual practice related to HIV and other STIs. About 493(39.8%) of respondents reported having previous sexual experience. Of these, 456(92.5%) had sexual intercourse and 309(67.8%) of them had unprotected sex in the past 12 months. Of sexually experienced students, 254(51.5%) of them had multiple sexual partners and 21(4.3%) of them reported ever having sex with commercial sex workers. Out of this, 11(52.4%) had sex with sex workers in the previous 12 months. About 16(3.2%), 20(4.1%) of students reported ever having anal and oral sex. Of these, 10(62.5%) had anal sex and 11(55%) had oral sex in the past 12 months. The result of multivariate analysis showed that Students who drank alcohol (AOR [95% CI] = 13.32 [4.08-43.47]), chewed Khat (AOR [95% CI] = 2.39 [1.34-4.28]) and used substance other than Khat (AOR [95% CI] = 7.17 [4.0-12.86]) were significantly associated with risky sexual practice.Conclusion Significant numbers of students were engaged in risky sexual practice. Strategies and programs should be design targeting factors which exposes school youths to undesirable reproductive health outcomes.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem in the developing countries. Early diagnosis, effective treatment and continues assessment of treatment outcome are important indicators of TB control. Thus, the main objective of this study was to assess the treatment outcome of tuberculosis at Becho health center from September 1, 2011 to August 30, 2016.Methods: A five-year retrospective cross-sectional study was employed and data were collected through medical record review who registered at Becho health center from September 1, 2011 to August 30, 2016. Finally data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. We presented descriptive analysis of TB treatment outcome.Results: This study revealed that, out of the 212 pulmonary TB patients (115 males and 97 females), 88.2% had successful TB treatment outcome and 11.8% had unsuccessful TB treatment outcome. About 62 smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were registered. The cure rate and treatment success rate was 22.6% and 65.6% respectively treatment success. In the final multivariate logistic model, the numbers of unsuccessful treatment outcome was higher among patients of weight category 30â39.9âkg and smear negative pulmonary TB 29.2% and extra pulmonary TB 28.3% and HIV positive TB patients 3.04% and unknown HIV status TB patients 7% as compared to their respective comparison groups.Conclusion: In this study, high proportion of successful treatment outcome was documented. Therefore emphasis has to be given for patients with high risk of unsuccessful TB treatment outcome and targeted interventions should be carried out.

Objectives To determine the effectiveness of modified CIMT on upper extremity function for children with hemiplegic type of cerebral palsy(CP).DesignQuasi experimental research designParticipants and interventionsTwelve(12) children (age: 2 to 8 years) from pediatric physiotherapy clinics from Savar, CRP with hemiplegic type of cerebral palsy were included in this study. Modified constraint was applied to unaffected hand.The intervention was given for 3 hours/day including 30 minutes of therapy time and home program which could split into different sessions of no less than 30 minutes duration for consecutive two(2) weeks. Conventional physiotherapy treatment was also given this experimental group in official therapy session timeperiod.Main outcome measuresPre and Post outcome measure by using QUEST (Quality of upper extremity skill test) and PMAL (pediatric motor activity log) were taken.ResultsSignificant differences between Pre and Post values of all components of QUEST and PMAL (P<0.05) showing the effectiveness of MCIMT in improving upper extremity function and in ADL activities.ConclusionMCIMT is involved of intensive training of the affected arm and restriction of unaffected arm. It is used for improving manual function or ability in children with hemiplegic CP. This is statistically as well as clinically significant improvements in both motor function and functional use of the affected upper extremity in children between the ages of 2 and 8 years with hemiplegic CP.It is statistically proved that MCIMT therapy was effective for all QUEST components except protective extension.
