Background/Objectives: Failure to thrive (FTT) is mostly caused by insufficient consumption of nutrient-rich food, recurrent infections like diarrhea and intestinal worms, substandard caregiving practices, limited availability health other vital services. Furthermore, there was a correlation between the educational level mothers occurrence FTT in children aged 6–12 months. Thus, objective current research twofold: (i) investigate factors related (ii) evaluate impact them on Sub-Saharan African countries their urban areas. Methods: We used weight entropy TOPSIS methods approach question. In particular, entropy-weight method effective for precisely evaluating relative significance selected criteria computation. data were retrieved from database UNICEF year 2019 nine countries, based used, five have been consideration. Those higher education identified as having weight, which means that this can affect positively ability mitigate situation protect children. Results: The findings study highlight maternal at unhealthy habits those with greatest FTT. Moreover, results indicate association education, especially stronger Ethiopia. Despite amount specified relationship among initial ones examine it. Conclusions: aid policymakers devising appropriate policies implementing measures tackle Africa, enhancing number these be integrated into system help both themselves or avoid symptoms

Ascities after Liver Cirrhosis Diagnosis and Treatment

Ascites, the accumulation of fluid in abdominal cavity, is a common complication patients with cirrhosis. Approximately 50% compensated cirrhosis will develop ascites over 10-year period, marking significant milestone progression end-stage liver disease. Survival rates decrease after onset ascites, only surviving 2 to 5 years, depending on underlying cause cirrhosis, The management involves salt restriction and diuretic use, which are effective about 90% reducing symptoms. In cases where does not respond these measures, additional interventions such as large-volume paracentesis may be necessary temporary solution or for symptomatic relief while awaiting transplantation, refractory transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure can considered. This creating between portal vein hepatic reduce hypertension. TIPS serve bridge transplantation provide long-term palliation, but careful monitoring bacterial peritonitis essential.

O tratamento cirúrgico de varizes esofágicas é destinado a mitigar complicações associadas à hipertensão portal. Este procedimento visa reduzir pressão no sistema venoso portal, frequentemente causada por cirrose hepática. Portanto, este trabalho buscou analisar ocorrência da distribuição e óbitos relacionados ao Brasil nos anos 2012 2022 Sistema Único Saúde. Método: Trata-se um estudo quantitativo do tipo descritivo com dados secundários DATASUS realizado entre os meses novembro 2023 janeiro 2024. Os foram extraídos dois pesquisadores, forma independente, utilizando mesma estratégia busca próprio site Ministério Saúde, buscando amenizar potenciais riscos perda dados. Em seguida, apresentados em tabelas gráficos. Resultados: Observou-se que desde o número cirurgias apresenta variações crescentes. No ano ocorreu maior decorrente esse tratamento. Dentre as regiões, Sudeste Sul estão mais prevalentes na realização cirurgia, também procedimento, tendo Centro-Oeste Norte números menores ambos. aspectos estado, São Paulo liderou procedimentos cirúrgicos longo período analisado.
