Decentralizing cancer care in sub-Saharan Africa through an integrated regional cancer centre model: The case of Kenya
This study aimed to analyze the status of the utilization of services at regional cancer centers. We analyzed data from the district health information system, focusing on patient demographics, visit type, cancer stage, and the type of treatment provided. For comparison, a trend analysis of new cancer cases recorded at the main national referral hospital between 2011-2021 was also conducted. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the variables of interest; the median was used to summarize continuous variables and percentages were used for categorical variables. A total of 29,321 patients visited the regional centers in 202...

Is cervical dysplasia a major concern in women with inflammatory bowel disease? A Spanish retrospective study
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.17235/reed.2023.9890/2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide. The risk of women immunosuppressed due to AIDS or organ transplantation is well documented, as most cases are caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and immunosuppression can prevent clearing HPV. Although European guidelines advise that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) women under immunosuppression should be screened for CC as regularly as high-risk patients, quality evidence is lacking in our country. We performed a retrospect...

Euro Surveill. 2023 Sep;28(38). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.38.2300171.ABSTRACTOn 5 April 2022, the United Kingdom reported an increase of cases of severe acute hepatitis of unknown aetiology in children, several needing hospitalisation and some required liver transplant or died. Thereafter, 35 countries reported probable cases, almost half of them in Europe. Facing the alert, on 28 April, Portugal created a multidisciplinary Task Force (TF) for rapid detection of probable cases and response. The experts of the TF came from various disciplines: clinicians, laboratory experts, epidemiologists, public health experts an...

Antivenom for sale? Availability and affordability of snakebite medicines across public and private health facilities in Rwanda
Toxicon. 2023 Sep 19:107292. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107292. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntivenom is considered the safest and most effective treatment against snake envenomation (SBE); however, global shortages mean that many low-income countries struggle to meet demand. In Rwanda, chronic shortages of essential medicines are an important barrier to robust healthcare delivery and discourage snakebite victims from seeking hospital care. The aim of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to evaluate the availability and affordability of commodities to treat SBE at hospitals and health centers. In total, our tea...

Prevalence of Type III Secretion System (T3SS) and Biofilm Development in Genetically Heterogeneous Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Nigeria
This study examined 430 clinical isolates from our previous work, comprising 181 MDR (multidrug-resistant) and 249 non-MDR isolates. Biofilm production and type III secretion toxins were determined using colorimetric microtiter plate assay and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Carbapenem-resistant isolates were typed using REP-PCR and BOX-PCR. Biofilm production was detected in 386/430 (89.8%) of the isolates. Out of 386 biofilm producers, 167 (43.3%) were multidrug-resistant isolates. PCR identified four T3SS virulence types among 430 isolates, including 78 (18.1%) exoU+/exoS- isolates, 343 (79.8%) exoU-/exoS + iso...

Effects of low concentrations of ozone gas exposure on percutaneous oxygen saturation and inflammatory responses in a mouse model of Dermatophagoides farinae-induced asthma
Arch Toxicol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s00204-023-03593-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOzone gas is widely used in hospitals as well as homes to control COVID-19 infection owing to its cost-effectiveness. Safety standard value and the tolerable value of ozone gas are set at 0.05 ppm and 0.1 ppm, respectively, in developed countries; however, this value was principally determined for healthy individuals, and the risks associated with ozone gas inhalation in patients with pulmonary diseases remains unknown. Recently, we demonstrated that 0.1 ppm ozone gas exposure significantly aggravates the symptoms of acute lung injury...

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in inpatient psychiatric care: a systematic review
The objective of this systematic review is to present and discuss studies that have adapted CBT-I for inpatient psychiatric care. PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PsycINFO, were searched until June 2023. A total of 10 studies were identified, with the majority being non-randomised trials without comparison groups and small sample sizes. With preliminary character, studies report feasibility and potential efficacy in inpatient settings. Together, this review identifies a paucity of studies on CBT-I or derivates in inpatient psychiatry. Despite challenging in this setting, studies...

The Evolving Practice of Hospital at Home in the United States
Annu Rev Med. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1146/annurev-med-051022-042210. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHospital at Home (HaH) provides hospital-level services in the home to eligible patients who would otherwise require facility-based hospitalization. In the last two decades, studies have shown that HaH can improve patient outcomes and satisfaction and reduce hospital readmissions. Improved technology and greater experience with the model have led to expansion in the scope of patients served and services provided by the model, but dissemination in the United States has been hampered by lack of insurance coverage until recently. ...

Geriatric patient with neurological symptoms and prolonged aPTT
Inn Med (Heidelb). 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1007/s00108-023-01581-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 73-year-old man with dementia was referred to our clinic with hypernatremia and volume depletion. New-onset neurogenic dysphagia was likely the reason for both. The patient had chronic embolic strokes on the computed tomography (CT) images. Documentation from previous hospitalizations in different hospitals revealed a repeatedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT); 5 years prior, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome had already been suspected, but the necessary workup was never completed. We diagnosed the patie...
