Brain tumor detection is an important task in medical image processing. Early diagnosis of brain tumors plays an important role in improving treatment possibilities and increases the survival rate of the patients. The detection of brain tumor from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images is a vital, but time consuming task performed by medical experts. The knowledge of this information regarding tumor in the brain is important for diagnosis planning and treatment. The location of the brain tumor and precise size are detected with brain tumor detection. Sometimes MRI brain images corrupted by some noise. In this project we specially focus on detecting tumor from brain MRI images. By using thresholding technique extraction of the tumor takes place and then calculates the tumor area.

Acute discontinuous porphyria is an intriguing autosomal prevailing sickness described by a lack of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS). It gives stomach torment, sickness, spewing, fringe neuropathy, and seizures. Treatment for intense assaults is intravenous heme. Conclusive treatment is an orthotopic liver transfer. This action gives an outline of the etiology, clinical show, assessment, the executives, and treatment of the illness by an interprofessional group. “Porphyria” has been gotten from the old Greek word porphura, significance purple. Porphyrins are forerunners of heme, a fundamental part of hemoglobin. Every subunit of hemoglobin is a globular protein containing an inserted heme bunch that contains one iron iota, fit for restricting one oxygen particle. The heme union pathway is a multi-step process that includes a particular catalyst at each step. Consequently, porphyrias are unmistakable clinical disorders, which emerge because of lack or deformity in a specific chemical required for a particular step of the heme combination pathway. Albeit these conditions have expectedly been arranged relying upon the dominating framework included (cutaneous versus neurohepatic), huge cross-over happens, and numerous porphyrias present with blended side effects.

Rhabdomyolysis is one of the feared confusions following delayed medical procedure in an extremely chubby patient normally brought about by muscle ischemia/reperfusion or squash wounds and if not perceived well in time prompts expanded bleakness and mortality. We report an instance of beefy beyond belief quiet who created rhadomyolysis with intense renal disappointment after medical procedure for lumbar trench decompression and spinal combination.

Background: Human milk is very important for infant nourishing. Scholars in the field recommend that mothers begin early and only breast milk for their new born babies until the age of 6 month. Infants should breast fed until the age of two and above besides supplementary foods.

Purpose: The main objective of the study is to assess the time to cessation of breastfeeding in mothers with children aged birth to three years in Mekelle town, 2019.

Methods: A retrospective follow up study was conducted at Mekelle town from November 2018/2019 to April 30, 2019. A probability sampling technique was used to select 503 mother-child pairs. Data was collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data entered in to EPI-data before exported to SPSS 23. Bivariate cox was used to identify factors associated with cessation of breast feeding and multivariate cox proportional regression models were used to prevent the effect of cofounding.

Results: Cessation of breast-feeding incidence rate before 24 months was 3.017 per 100 person-months. Above 54.3% of study subjects were found breastfeeding for 2 years long. After removing potential cofounders’ maternal employee, mode of delivery, first feeding and bottle feeding were importantly related with time to cessation of breastfeeding.

Conclusion: According to this study cessation of breastfeeding was virtuous. Maternal occupation, time of solid food introduction, bottle feeding, maternal depression and first feeding were significantly associated to cessation of breastfeeding.
