Assessment Of The Status And Challenges Of The Linkage Between Universities And Industries In Ethiopia: The Case Of Two Universities And Six Industries

Abstract

The primary objective is to report and document the case of a collodion baby, a rare congenital condition, emphasizing the importance of early and appropriate therapeutic intervention. By presenting this infrequent incidence, the aim is to contribute to the existing medical knowledge regarding the clinical symptoms and complications associated with collodion baby syndrome. Specifically, the goal is to highlight the significance of prompt and adequate management in minimizing potential complications due to skin barrier disruption. This involves implementing a treatment approach focused on eliminating scaling and reducing xerosis without causing excessive irritation to the delicate skin of the affected newborn. Furthermore, the report seeks to enhance clinical awareness among healthcare professionals, providing valuable insights into the symptoms that should be monitored closely and the multidisciplinary care required. Collaboration between pediatricians, dermatologists, otorhinolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, plastic surgeons, and physiotherapists is crucial for comprehensive care, addressing immediate concerns, and ensuring long-term survival and well-being. In summary, the objective is twofold: first, to contribute to the medical literature by documenting a rare collodion baby syndrome, and second, to underscore the importance of early intervention and multidisciplinary care in managing this congenital condition and minimizing associated complications.
