Our study's primary aim is to determine the COVID-19 vaccination rate among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.\u0000 Materials and Methods: This questionnaire-based cross-sectional was conducted between September 1st and September 20th, 2021.\u0000Results: A total of 210 healthcare workers were included. Among 210 healthcare workers enrolled in the study, 56.2% (n=118) were male. Most (53.8%, n=113) participants were aged between 18 and 27. Most (48.6%, n=102) of all participants were physicians. The COVID-19 vaccination rate of the healthcare workers in Somalia Turkiye Training and Research Hospital was 20% (n=42). Males had a significantly higher vaccination rate than females (26.2 vs. 12%, p<0,05). The most common reasons for not getting vaccinated were fear of potential complications and believing that vaccination would not be protective against the disease.\u0000Conclusions: Most healthcare workers were hesitant to be vaccinated despite the availability of the vaccine. This approach exposes physicians and allied health workers to a significant risk of COVID-19. It also obstructs the fight against COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":122824,"journal":{"name":"Somalia Turkiye Medical Journal (STMJ)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129554467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It mainly occupies the lateral ventricle and has relatively characteristic imaging features that aid in its diagnosis. This tumor causes obstructive hydrocephalus and manifests with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Herein, we present a case of a 53-year-old female diabetic patient who presented to our neurology clinic with an eight-month history of diffuse progressive headaches. Her headache was associated with nausea but not vomiting. There was no motor or sensory deficits or paresthesia. Likewise, the examination revealed no diplopia, ophthalmoparesis, cranial nerve impairments, or papilledema. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a heterogeneous intraventricular mass measuring 45x41 mm in size with surrounding mild tissue edema, typical for a central neurocytoma. The patient was referred to the neurosurgery department for surgical removal of the tumor; however, the patient did not consent to surgery. Brain MRI should be done in young patients with a headache that does not have the characteristics of primary headaches.","PeriodicalId":122824,"journal":{"name":"Somalia Turkiye Medical Journal (STMJ)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125403014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite that fact, it is necessary to ask the patients about their bad habits to unmask the etiology of the disease. A 30-year-old male who had been abusing alcohol and smoking heavily for the last six years presented with lower extremity edema, fatigue on exertion, and heart palpitations within a month. Previously there was no known chronic disease and immunosuppression drugs use, nor any documented family history of any heart disease. Upon inspection, He had a chronically ill-looking appearance but was oriented to time, place, and person. His vital signs were a blood pressure of 115/80 mm Hg, heart rate of 110 beats/min, and body temperature of 36.5℃. Peripheral oxygen saturation was around 97% without oxygen support, despite having subjective dyspneic symptoms. Transthoracic echocardiography showed LV global hypokinesia with severe reduction in LV systolic function (as demonstrated by an LV ejection fraction of 30%). Empirical oral Thiamine 200mg replacement was initiated emergently as a thiamine test was not available. Within ten days of thiamin supplement and heart failure medications, including furosemide 20mg, Aldactone 25mg, and carvedilol 6.25mg, the ejection fraction improved up to 45% also, the fatigues and dyspnea were also highly improved. We identified that heavy alcoholic drinking induced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and that thiamine supplements improved these circumstances.","PeriodicalId":122824,"journal":{"name":"Somalia Turkiye Medical Journal (STMJ)","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116588342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate medical doctors’ awareness of radiation exposure in selected diagnostic radiology centers in Mogadishu. \u0000Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of the awareness of doctors about radiation exposure in diagnostic radiology investigations in Somalia. Online questionnaires were distributed to 200 medical doctors working in 3 state and 7 private hospitals in Mogadishu. The study was conducted online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our data analysis was descriptive with a quantitative method, with univariate level analysis only for all variables. \u0000Results: Of the 200 participants, 62% had no formal training on radiation exposure. 86% of our respondents had no idea of the quantity of radiation. Whereas only 10.5% of our respondents correctly estimated the quantity of radiation. \u0000Conclusion: As a result of the high rate of poor awareness of radiation risks observed in the study, it is important that the Somali Ministry of Health and state-level health ministries must guarantee and implement appropriate radiological examination guidelines and national radiation policies and apply it to all levels of healthcare services. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":122824,"journal":{"name":"Somalia Turkiye Medical Journal (STMJ)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122526414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
