Interventions for improving coverage of childhood immunisation in low- and middle-income countries
CONCLUSIONS: Health education, home-based records, a combination of involvement of community leaders with health provider intervention, and integration of immunisation services may improve vaccine uptake. The certainty of the evidence for the included interventions ranged from moderate to very low. Low certainty of the evidence implies that the true effect of the interventions might be markedly different from the estimated effect. Further, more rigorous RCTs are, therefore, required to generate high-certainty evidence to inform policy and practice.PMID:38054505 | PMC:PMC10698843 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD008145.pub4 (Source...

Exploratory analysis of the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of healthcare workers about arboviruses in the context of surveillance in the Republic of Guinea
ConclusionThis study highlights the imperative requirement for comprehensive training targeting HCWs to enhance their capacity for early case detection within healthcare facilities. Additionally, there is a crucial need for analogous studies adopting a mixed-methods approach across all healthcare regions in Guinea. (Source: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases)

Biological landscape and nanostructural view in development and reversal of oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer
Transl Oncol. 2023 Dec 1;40:101846. doi: 10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101846. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe treatment of cancer patients has been mainly followed using chemotherapy and it is a gold standard in improving prognosis and survival rate of patients. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-platinum anti-cancer agent that reduces DNA synthesis in cancer cells to interfere with their growth and cell cycle progression. In spite of promising results of using OXA in cancer chemotherapy, the process of drug resistance has made some challenges. OXA is commonly applied in treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) as a malignancy of gastroi...

Self-assembly of Discrete Oligomers of Naphthalenediimides in Bulk and on Surfaces
Chemistry. 2023 Nov 27:e202303107. doi: 10.1002/chem.202303107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere we report on the synthesis of discrete oligomers of alkyl-bridged naphthalenediimides (NDIs) and study their molecular nanostructures both in bulk, in solution and at the solid-liquid interface. Via an iterative synthesis method, multiple NDI cores were bridged with short and saturated alkyl-diamines (C3 and C12) or long and unsaturated alkyl-diamines (u2C33 to u8C100) at their imide termini. The strong intermolecular interaction between the NDI cores was observed by probing their photophysical properties in solution. In bulk...
