| 4 | A Grade 12 student in Ethiopia dreams of becoming a doctor.
A medical student dreams of becoming a specialist.
A fresh graduate dreams of finding a good opportunity.
But many of us make these decisions without ever meeting people who have walked the path before us.
We often choose careers based on what we hear from family, friends, or society. We rarely get the chance to sit with professionals, ask questions, visit workplaces, or understand what different career paths actually look like.
As a result, many talented young people spend years wondering:
"Is this really what I want to do?"
"What opportunities are available beyond the hospital?"
"How did others get where they are today?"
Sometimes, all it takes is EXPOSURE.
• One conversation with a researcher can spark an interest in research.
• One interaction with a public health expert can open your eyes to a whole new field.
• One mentorship session can give clarity that years of confusion could not.
Exposure does not guarantee success, but it helps us make better decisions. It allows us to see possibilities that were previously invisible.
In our community, there are countless bright and hardworking young people. What many of them need is not more talent or more motivation. They need access. They need guidance. They need exposure.
That is why ClinAddis exists: to bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity by connecting young people with the exposure, mentorship, networks, and experiences that can help shape their future.
That is also why creating opportunities for students and young professionals to learn from experienced individuals matters. Because sometimes a single encounter can change the direction of a career.
And sometimes, changing one career can change a life.

| 10 | A patient may celebrate losing 20 kilograms while unknowingly sacrificing a substantial amount of the very tissue that protects metabolic health, maintains functional capacity, and supports healthy aging. Smaller clothing sizes do not necessarily indicate a healthier body composition. A lower number on the scale does not automatically mean a better metabolic outcome.
The physiological explanation is straightforward. These medications reduce appetite and food intake, often dramatically. While this reduction in calorie consumption drives fat loss, it can also reduce protein intake. When dietary protein becomes insufficient, the body may obtain amino acids from existing muscle tissue to meet its biological needs. At the same time, many individuals become less physically active or fail to engage in resistance training, removing the mechanical stimulus required to preserve muscle mass.
From an evolutionary perspective, muscle is metabolically expensive tissue. During periods of perceived energy scarcity, the body often adapts by reducing both fat stores and lean tissue unless there is a compelling reason to maintain muscle. Adequate protein intake and resistance exercise provide that reason.
This is why successful obesity treatment should not focus exclusively on weight loss. The goal should be fat loss while preserving lean mass. These are not the same thing.
Patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists or dual agonists should be encouraged to prioritize dietary protein, engage in regular resistance training, and monitor body composition whenever possible. Measurements such as DXA scans, bioimpedance analysis, waist circumference, strength assessments, and functional performance tests provide a far more meaningful picture of health than body weight alone.
The future of obesity medicine should move beyond the simplistic concept of weight reduction. Excess body fat contributes to metabolic disease, but skeletal muscle is one of the body’s greatest protective organs. The ideal outcome is not maximum weight loss. The ideal outcome is maximum fat loss with minimum muscle loss.
As clinicians, we must remember that our patients do not simply need to become lighter. They need to become metabolically healthier, physically stronger, and more resilient.
The scale measures weight.
Body composition measures health.
And when it comes to long-term metabolic health, strength, function, and longevity, muscle may be the most important tissue we possess.

| 11 | Muscle Matters More Than the Scale: The Hidden Cost of Modern Weight-Loss Drugs
The number on the scale tells us how much weight has been lost. It does not tell us what has been lost.
This distinction is becoming increasingly important as millions of people worldwide achieve substantial weight reduction with GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide.
These medications have revolutionized obesity treatment and have helped many patients improve blood sugar control, reduce cardiovascular risk factors, and lose significant amounts of body weight. Yet an important question often remains unanswered: how much of that weight loss is actually body fat, and how much is valuable lean tissue?
Many patients assume that every kilogram lost represents excess body fat. Human physiology is far more complex. Weight loss can come from fat mass, glycogen, water, connective tissue, organ mass, and skeletal muscle. From a metabolic standpoint, these tissues are not equal. Losing excess body fat is generally beneficial. Losing skeletal muscle is not.
Recent scientific evidence has highlighted this concern. A 2026 meta-analysis that evaluated 20 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 16,000 participants found that approximately 35.2% of total weight lost with semaglutide consisted of lean mass. In practical terms, this means that for every 10 kilograms of body weight lost, more than 3 kilograms may come from lean tissue rather than fat.
The findings are consistent with the STEP 1 body-composition substudy, which used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to examine changes in body composition during semaglutide treatment. Participants experienced substantial fat loss, but they also demonstrated meaningful reductions in lean body mass.
Tirzepatide appears to perform somewhat better. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, approximately 25% of total weight lost consisted of lean mass, while roughly 75% represented fat mass. This suggests that the dual GIP/GLP-1 mechanism may offer some advantage in preserving lean tissue compared with GLP-1 receptor agonism alone. However, even under these circumstances, one-quarter of total weight loss still came from lean tissue.
The concern extends beyond individual medications. A 2026 systematic review published in the Annals of Internal Medicine evaluated 36 randomized controlled trials involving incretin-based therapies and found that approximately two-thirds of studies exceeded predefined muscle-loss benchmarks. Across these studies, the median proportion of weight loss attributable to muscle-related tissue loss approached 35%.
These findings should not be dismissed as a cosmetic issue. Skeletal muscle is one of the most important organs in the human body. It is the primary site for glucose disposal after meals and plays a critical role in insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation. Muscle serves as a reservoir of amino acids during illness and injury. It supports mobility, balance, strength, physical function, and independence. It also contributes significantly to resting energy expenditure and overall metabolic health.
Perhaps most importantly, muscle mass and strength are among the strongest predictors of healthy aging and longevity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that lower muscle mass is associated with increased risks of frailty, falls, fractures, hospitalization, disability, loss of independence, and premature mortality.
The medical term for the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength is sarcopenia. Although traditionally associated with aging, sarcopenia is increasingly recognized in individuals who undergo rapid weight loss. This includes people following aggressive calorie restriction, those recovering from illness, patients undergoing bariatric surgery, and individuals receiving modern weight-loss medications.
The danger is not simply becoming lighter. The danger is becoming weaker. | 2 |

| 14 | An Encounter from Today’s Ward Rounds: The Lasix Trap
During our morning rounds in the Stabilization Center today, we evaluated a newly admitted child presenting with severe, tense bilateral pitting edema.
Looking at the profound swelling, one well-meaning nurse turned to me and said:
"Doctor, the swelling is severe and the child looks uncomfortable. Should we give a dose of Lasix (furosemide) right now to help flush out this fluid and relieve the tension?"
It is a completely understandable instinct. In standard pediatric or adult medicine, when we see massive fluid retention, diuretics are our go-to solution. But in Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), this exact, well-intentioned decision can be fatal.
Here is why I told the team we must step away from the Lasix, and why the official guidelines explicitly state that diuretics are strictly contraindicated for nutritional edema:
❌ INCORRECT AND ✅️ CORRECT PRACTICE
1. Giving Diuretics for Edema: Never give these! Edema will resolve naturally with correct initial treatment using therapeutic feeds.
2. Giving IV Fluids Freely: Giving IV fluids when the child is not in shock can be fatal. Give IV fluids *only* if there are clear signs of shock (cold hand plus slow capillary refill or a weak/fast pulse).
3. Starting High-Protein Diets Immediately: Do not do this. Give F-75 until the child stabilizes; only transition to F-100/RUTF during the rehabilitation phase.
4. Using Standard ORS: Standard ORS can overload the child. Always use ReSoMal for severely malnourished children presenting with diarrhea.
5. Withholding Antibiotics: Do not wait for clinical signs of infection (like fever). Presume infection and give routine broad-spectrum antibiotics to all admitted SAM children.
6. Starting Iron Immediately: Treating anemia with iron from admission is dangerous. Wait to start iron until the child has successfully transitioned to F-100 for at least 2 days.
7. Skipping Night Protocols: Children must not be left unfed or uncovered at night. Ensure the child is fed every 2 hours at night and stays warmly covered with a blanket to prevent hypothermia.
The Takeaway: Adherence to standard, evidence-based protocols saves lives. Let's audit our ward practices and keep our fragile pediatric patients safe!

| 15 | The Illusion of the “Benign” Cosmetic Thyroidectomy: An Ethics and Teamwork Wake-Up Call 📌
[BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics]
✍️ Behaylu Tesfamaryam Hagos (Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, Debre Berhan University)
🧨The Core Issue: This commentary reviews a sobering real-world case of an asymptomatic patient who underwent a bilateral thyroidectomy purely due to societal pressure regarding the cosmetic appearance of her neck.
Post-surgery, she was left with permanent hypoparathyroidism, requiring life-long, costly, and frequently unavailable active vitamin D analogs with calcium supplement, alongside repeated emergency visits for acute hypocalcemic crises.
I strongly believe that when an operation is performed for an entirely benign conditions, especially for cosmetic reasons, our clinical tolerance for preventable, life-altering complications should be exactly zero.
🗣️The Three Main Takeaways:
1. The Local "Reality vs. Statistics" Gap:
While Western literature quotes the risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism at a mere 0–3%, our local data paint a vastly different picture.
Studies from resource-constrained settings (such as St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College) show local thyroidectomy complication rates as high as 29.4%, with 6.1% developing chronic hypoparathyroidism. This discrepancy is driven by a critical shortage of subspecialized endocrine surgeons, meaning generalists frequently perform these delicate procedures.
2. The Deficit in Preoperative Counseling:
Reflecting on my own communication habits, I note that we clinicians heavily rely on paternalistic communication norms, often dismissing potential risks as "statistically rare" events to streamline patient decision-making. Minimizing these risks to avoid overwhelming a layperson is a systemic betrayal of patient autonomy.
3. Postoperative Isolation & Siloed Care:
This case highlights a dangerous structural flaw: managing complex surgical complications in isolated silos. When the patient developed severe postoperative hypocalcemia, the surgical team attempted to manage the metabolic crisis on their own using mega-doses of oral calcium, overlooking the basic physiological fact that parathyroid hormone deficiency requires active vitamin D analogs for absorption. No formal multidisciplinary consultation was made to the concerned department.
📣Call to Action: Managing surgical complications effectively requires cross-departmental collaboration, moving beyond the boundaries of the operating theater. I am calling for:
1. Moving away from a single consent template for a variety of procedures, and shifting toward accurate, localized risk disclosures for specific operations.
2. Activating multidisciplinary team communications whenever a complex clinical case demands it, ensuring the patient receives the highest standard of institutional care available.

መጠነኛ የሆነ ቡና መጠጣት የኩላሊት ተግባርን ለመጠበቅ እንደሚረዳ እና የኩላሊት ጠጠር እንዳይፈጠር እንደሚቀንስ ተጠቁሟል። ነገር ግን ጥቅሙ ለሁሉም ሰው ተመሳሳይ አይደለም።
የዶ/ር ዶናልድ ዲ. ሄንስሩድ (የማዮ ክሊኒክ የህክምና አርታኢ) እንደሚሉት “ቡና በየጊዜው በሚጠጡ ሰዎች ላይ የስኳር በሽታ (ዓይነት 2)፣ የፓርኪንሰን በሽታ፣ የጉበት በሽታ፣ አንዳንድ ካንሰሮች (ለምሳሌ የጉበት ካንሰር)፣ ድብርትና ራስን የማጥፋት ስሜት፣ የኩላሊትና የሐሞት ጠጠር እንዲሁም አጠቃላይ ሞት የመጋለጥ እድል ይቀንሳል።”
እ.ኤ.አ. በ2018 በኔፍሮሎጂ ዳያሊሲስ ትራንስፕላንቴሽን
ጆርናል ላይ የታተመ ጥናት በአሜሪካ ውስጥ ሥር የሰደደ የኩላሊት በሽታ ካላቸው ከ4,860 አዋቂዎች በላይ መረጃ ተንትኗል። ተሳታፊዎቹ በዕለታዊ የካፌይን መጠን በአራት ቡድን ተከፍለዋል፦
- በቀን ከ28.2 ሚሊግራም ያነሰ ካፌይን (ከአንድ ኩባያ ቡና ከሶስተኛ ያነሰ)
- ከ28.2 እስከ 103 ሚሊግራም
- ከ103 እስከ 213.5 ሚሊግራም
- ከ213.5 ሚሊግራም በላይ (ሁለት ወይም ከዚያ በላይ ኩባያ)
በአምስት ዓመት ክትትል ወቅት ወደ 1,280 የሚጠጉ ተሳታፊዎች ሞተዋል። ሌሎች አስተዋጽዖ ሊያደርጉ የሚችሉ ነገሮችን ከተቆጣጠሩ በኋላ፣ ውጤቱ እንዳሳየው ሦስቱም ከፍተኛ የካፌይን ፍጆታ ያላቸው ቡድኖች ከዝቅተኛው ቡድን ጋር ሲነጻጸሩ የመሞት እድላቸው ከ22% እስከ 26% ዝቅ ብሏል።
የኩላሊት ጠጠርን መቀነስ
በአሜሪካ ብሔራዊ የኩላሊት ፋውንዴሽን መሠረት ካፌይን የሽንት መጠንን ይጨምራል፣ ይህም በሽንት ቱቦ ውስጥ ጠጠር የሚፈጥሩ ማዕድናት እንዳይከማቹና ክሪስታል እንዳይሆኑ ሊረዳ ይችላል።
አንዳንድ ጥናቶች ቡና በየጊዜው በሚጠጡ ሰዎች ላይ የኩላሊት ጠጠር የመጋለጥ እድሉ እንደሚቀንስ አስተውለዋል። ነገር ግን ይህ ብዙ ቡና መጠጣት የተሻለ ነው ማለት አይደለም።
ባለሙያዎች ጤናማ አዋቂዎች የካፌይን ፍጆታቸውን በቀን ከ400 ሚሊግራም በላይ እንዳያደርጉ ይመክራሉ፣ ይህም ከሦስት እስከ አራት መደበኛ ኩባያ ቡና ጋር እኩል ነው።
ከመጠን በላይ ካፌይን መውሰድ እንቅልፍ ማጣት፣ እረፍት ማጣት፣ ጭንቀት፣ እንዲሁም የልብ ምት መደናገርን ሊያስከትል ይችላል። ካፌይን በተለይ ለእሱ ተጋላጭ በሆኑ ሰዎች ላይ ለአጭር ጊዜ የደም ግፊትን በመጠኑ ከፍ ሊያደርግ ይችላል።
ከዚህ በተጨማሪ ቡናው በብዛት ከስኳር፣ ከወተት፣ ከከባድ ክሬም ወይም ጣዕም ከተጨመረበት ሽሮፕ ጋር በየጊዜው ከተጠመቀ ጥቅሙ ሊቀንስ ይችላል፤ ምክንያቱም እነዚህ ንጥረ ነገሮች የስኳር እና የካሎሪ መጠንን ይጨምራሉ።
የኩላሊት በሽታ፣ የደም ግፊት ወይም ሌላ ሥር የሰደደ የጤና ችግር ያለባቸው ሰዎች ተገቢውን የካፌይን መጠን በተመለከተ ሐኪማቸውን ማማከር አለባቸው።

| 19 | The PPH CART
During my stay as medical intern in Gyne/Obs I have witnessed a number of patients that came with PPH and there was a lot of obstacles when it came to managing these mothers
1. The first obstacle was the time of arrival
By the time the mother arrives she has lost nearly 50% of her blood volume and I am not saying primary hospitals are the blame. But there are ways to avoid this and if the inevitable happens referral should not be delayed!!
2. Trying to find blood
First of all why doesn’t the GYNE/OBS have their own blood bank? Why is it that the most pressing matter in that situation is blood and the closest a person can go get blood is at least 20-30minutes!
My idea is when blood banks are out gathering blood donations their first moto is save a dying mother yet there are times these mothers don’t get the blood they need.
3. The medication and the equipment
If we look at other departments they have crash carts why don’t we?
Think about it among the most emergency cases is PPH yet we have to look (or prescribe) life saving medication and equipment. Imagine having to borrow IV cannulas from another patient! Or anything for that matter hence the need for the PPH crash carts.
4. Proper training
Most of our society prefers primary hospitals to tertiary hospitals, that’s something that should be its own subject. I think we should provide primary hospitals with the proper training and a more strict selection process for the gyne/obs emergency department personnel.
It’s not criticism of any sorts but we all know some people are quick to think on their feet and some take time to process and I also believe they need a good understanding of priorities in that situation.
STORY
I have encountered a PPH patient on my first day attaching GYNE emergency as an intern and the situation was horrendous we were trying everything we can to save this mother which might I add has been bleeding for nearly 5 hours before she arrived at the hospital.
She had received 2 units of blood on the way and as she was being transferred from the gurney to the bed one of the IV lines disconnected and imagine all hands on deck situation. The personnel that was transporting the patient from the primary hospital said “give me the NASG (Non Pneumatic Anti-shock garment) I need to go" hence the lack of priority oriented training.
Here I am not saying she was supposed to stay for the entire time this mother was at the hospital but me personally I would not worry about NASG while a mother is actively bleeding and might die. If we don’t do everything properly, and let me say I am not a saint, but I believe my training was "the patient first." I would help until the mother is stable enough to transport to the OR team.
There are so many things I would like to say but I am afraid no one will read such a lengthy thread.
