Prognostic impact of histological subtyping in triple-negative breast cancer.

The impact of special histological types (ST) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its association with overall outcome has gained increasing relevance as survival has been linked to specific histological TNBC subtypes. We evaluated the clinicopathological and survival data of 598 patients with 613 TNBCs, including 464 TNBCs of no special type (NST) and 149 TNBCs ST (low-grade, n = 12, 8.1%; high-grade, n = 112, 75.

Exploring implementation considerations for geriatric-HIV clinics: A secondary analysis from a scoping review on HIV models of geriatric care.

Objectives: This review aimed to map the current state of knowledge regarding the implementation considerations of existing geriatric-HIV models of care, to identify areas of further research and to inform the implementation of future geriatric-HIV interventions that support older adults living with HIV.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review that was methodologically informed by the Arskey and O'Malley's 5 step framework and theoretically informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). A systematic search of six databases was conducted for peer-reviewed literature.

Understanding geriatric models of care for older adults living with HIV: a scoping review and qualitative analysis.

Background: Advances in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) treatment have reduced mortality rates and consequently increased the number of individuals with HIV living into older age. Despite this, people aged 50 years and older have been left behind in recent HIV treatment and prevention campaigns, and a gold-standard model of care for this population has not yet been defined. Developing evidence-based geriatric HIV models of care can support an accessible, equitable, and sustainable HIV health care system that ensures older adults have access to care that meets their needs now and in the future.

Exacerbated inequalities: A scoping review of the experiences of older persons during conflict situations.

Background: We conducted the first known comprehensive literature review to (1) identify, categorize, and summarize the existing knowledge about the experiences of older persons and their caregivers during conflict situations; (2) identify the support needs of older persons and their caregivers, and; (3) identify gaps in the literature and understanding that may inform future research.

Methods: A scoping review methodology of academic peer-reviewed and gray English language literature was employed using six academic literature databases and one gray literature database. We further performed comprehensive searches of relevant search engines and organization websites and bibliographic hand searches to identify additional academic and gray literature.

'Selection into training will always be an inexact process': A survey of Directors of Physician Education on selection into Basic Physician Training in Australia and New Zealand.

Background: Despite being one of the largest medical specialty training programmes in Australasia, there is no standardised method for selection into Basic Physician Training (BPT), and limited data exist regarding current practices.

Aims: To address existing knowledge gaps, we aimed to create a 'snapshot' of current BPT selection practices and explore the perspectives of Directors of Physician Education (DPEs) regarding trainee selection.

Methods: An electronic survey of DPEs from adult and paediatric medicine BPT sites in Australia and New Zealand was undertaken in January-February 2022.
