Background: Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes cancer-related mortality among women globally. Early detection through screening is crucial for improving outcomes. However, knowledge gaps, misconceptions, and poor practices around timing persist young women. This study explores knowledge, perceptions, related to breast female students at University Zimbabwe. It aims inform nursing practice by highlighting critical role nurses play in addressing these gaps education, awareness,...
Poor retention in the prevention of women vertical transmission programs remains a formidable common setback elimination HIV/AIDS. It creates new problems such as poor health outcomes and increased incidence HIV. There is dearth qualitative information to explain mother-to-child (PMTCT) Zimbabwe. The purpose study was explore enablers barriers PMTCT programs.This basic conducted at four centers Four audiotaped focus group discussions were with 34 pregnant or breastfeeding coming for services...

Abstract Due to uncontrolled bleeding in victims and frequently delayed emergency response times road accidents had causes severe casualties. To solve this problem, the robotic arm used paper, based on machine learning, is programmed monitor react accident victims. A clotting agent applied wounds by at touch of a button, stopping possibly saving lives. The system's image processing wound classification were done Python-based Jupyter environment. SolidWorks was design arm, which respond input...
