HEA-GAN for high-fidelity low-light image enhancement and degradation-aware image augmentation using a hybrid deep learning and GAN framework

Abstract Poor vision and low-light conditions have a deleterious effect on the functioning of downstream computer-vision systems used in surveillance, autonomous driving, biomedical imaging, and remote sensing. Histogram equalization, Retinex based methods and manually crafted de...

Morphological Characteristics and Performance Evaluation of Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) Yield and Yield Related Traits in Kurmuk District, North West Ethiopia

Knowledge of genetic variability enables plant breeders to identify superior traits and facilitate gene introgression from diverse germplasm into breeding programs. Accordingly, a field experiment was undertaken at the Fladulife testing site in Kurmuk district, northwestern Ethio...

Recommended and Non-recommended Intrapartum Care Practices among Obstetric Care Providers in Hospitals of Wollega Zones, Oromia, Ethiopia: A Direct Observation Study

Background High-quality intrapartum care requires both consistent delivery of beneficial practices and avoidance of interventions that are not recommended for routine use. Evidence on the practice-level pattern of these two dimensions remains limited in western Ethiopia. Methods...

Determinants of treatment interruption among patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Addis Ababa using an unmatched case-control study

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires prolonged, complex regimens frequently associated with substantial adverse effects, making treatment interruption a major barrier to successful outcomes. Interruption may increase the risk of mortality, acquired drug resistance,...

Epidemiology of bovine mastitis and isolation of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in dairy farms of Central Ethiopia

Bovine mastitis remains one of the most economically important diseases affecting dairy production worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia, where limitations in farm management, veterinary services, and disease monitoring exacerbate its impact. In central...

Comparative analysis of African cattle, sheep and goat genomes reveal convergence and divergence to contrasting environments

African livestock have co-existed and co-adapted to Africa’s diverse eco-climates which have likely impacted their genomes. Such impacts however remain poorly investigated across multiple livestock species. Using whole genome sequences of African cattle, sheep, and goats in Ethio...

Incidental finding of an ectopic retrosternal parathyroid adenoma in a patient operated on for controlled toxic multinodular goiter: a rare case report

Background: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas are extremely rare in clinical practice and, therefore, represent a diagnostic challenge. Incidentally detected retrosternal adenomas are even rarer. Case presentation: We present the case of a 51-year-old female patient who presented with...

Staphylococcus aureus–associated pyomyositis complicated by deep vein thrombosis and septic pulmonary embolism in a malnourished child: a case report

Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE) is a rare, life-threatening complication of venous thromboembolism in children, occurring when an infected thrombus from an extrapulmonary focus embolizes to the pulmonary circulation. The co-occurrence of acute musculoskeletal infection, deep veno...
