Effectiveness of a tailored forest package of interventions, including topical repellents, in reducing malaria incidence in Myanmar.

Background: In Myanmar, progress towards malaria elimination has stagnated in some areas requiring deployment of new tools and approaches to accelerate malaria elimination. While there is evidence that networks of community-based malaria workers and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) can reduce malaria transmission in a variety of settings, evidence for the effectiveness of other interventions, such as topical repellents, is limited. Since malaria transmission in Myanmar occurs outdoors, mainly among forest-goers, this study tested the effectiveness of topical repellents in combination with supplemental ITN distribution and strengthened networks of malaria workers.

Can initial apparent diffusion coefficient and tumour volume predict future metastases in treatment-naive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive capability of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) at initial diagnosis in treatment-naive patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) for the development of future metastases.

Material And Methods: Magnetic resonance images of patients with pathologically proven non-metastatic, treatmentnaive LSCC were retrospectively evaluated. Follow-up positron emission tomography scans were assessed for the scanning of metastases.

Impact of sarcopenia on overall survival and local relapse in head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgical excision.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of sarcopenia on overall survival and local relapse in head and neck cancer patients undergoing surgical excision.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study includes head and neck cancer patients primarily treated with surgical excision in a tertiary care center. Patients were included if they had undergone an abdominal region Computer Tomography scan at least 45 days before the surgical excision.
