Objectives: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for feeding tube dependence in a large homogenous cohort of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV + OPSCC) patients receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We further aimed to externally validate three previously published feeding tube prediction models on this cohort.
Materials And Methods: p16-confirmed HPV + OPSCC patients treated with definitive CRT at a tertiary cancer centre between April 2017 and February 2022 were identified.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored the link between hyperlipidaemia (high cholesterol levels) and other cholestasis markers in dogs suspected of having acute pancreatitis.
- A total of 74 dogs were examined, with 33 diagnosed with hypercholesterolaemia, showing higher triglyceride levels and ALP activity compared to those without.
- The results indicated a correlation between cholesterol levels and liver enzyme activity, suggesting a possible connection between cholestasis and high cholesterol in dogs with acute pancreatitis.
Introduction: Tsetse flies () transmit , which causes gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT). As part of national efforts to eliminate gHAT as a public health problem, Uganda implemented a large-scale programme of deploying Tiny Targets, which comprise panels of insecticide-treated material which attract and kill tsetse. At its peak, the programme was the largest tsetse control operation in Africa.
