Evaluating the effectiveness of dengue surveillance in the tropical and sub-tropical Asian nations through dengue case data from travelers returning to the five Western Pacific countries and territories.

Introduction: Dengue, affecting over 3.9 billion people, is a significant health threat globally. Despite a tenfold increase in reported cases from 2000 to 2020, underreporting remains an issue.

Tumour volume analysis applied to imaging and histological examinations in breast cancer.

Purpose: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) determines partial response (PR) and progressive disease (PD) as a 30 % reduction and 20 % increase in the longest diameter (LD), respectively. Tumour volume analysis (TVA) utilises three diameters to calculate response parameters.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a pilot investigation of patients who underwent neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment and evaluation using RECIST with LD measurements and TVA with three diametric measurements, using the parameters PR (>30 % tumour regression), PD (>20 % tumour growth), and intermediate stable disease (SD).

Clostridioides difficile infection and recurrence in cancer patients (CIRCA): a multicentre, international study.

Objectives: We aimed to describe the characteristics of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in cancer patients, analysing risk factors for 90-day recurrence and attributable mortality.

Methods: Retrospective analysis on all CDI episodes from 2020 to 2022 in three Australian hospitals and one Spanish hospital. Logistic regression analyses were performed.
