Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health issue in Guinea, with many cases going undetected; an intensified case finding strategy involved pharmacies and drug outlets targeting customers buying cough suppressants.
- A study conducted in Conakry involved screening 916 individuals for TB, resulting in a 14% bacteriologically confirmed TB diagnosis, with gender and age influencing diagnosis likelihood.
- The intervention cost approximately $32.66 per person referred and $237.45 for those diagnosed, showing that using pharmacies as a TB detection point is both feasible and effective in boosting detection rates.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the need for genetic counseling in cases of male breast cancer, suggesting that its occurrence should be systematically investigated.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of male breast cancer cases diagnosed between January 2007 and September 2021, examining both histopathological and molecular variables.
- Out of 8 cases, most patients were around 50 years old, with a predominance of infiltrative non-specific carcinoma and notable occurrence of luminal A and triple-negative subtypes.
Background: Subcutaneous administration of the monoclonal antibody L9LS protected adults against controlled infection in a phase 1 trial. Whether a monoclonal antibody administered subcutaneously can protect children from infection in a region where this organism is endemic is unclear.
Methods: We conducted a phase 2 trial in Mali to assess the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of L9LS in children 6 to 10 years of age over a 6-month malaria season.
Objectives: Decentralized clinical trial (DCT) approaches are clinical trials in which some or all trial activities take place closer to participants' proximities instead of a traditional investigative site. Data from DCTs may be used for clinical and economic evaluations by health technology assessment (HTA) bodies to support reimbursement decision making. This study aimed to explore the opportunities and challenges for DCT approaches from an HTA perspective by interviewing representatives from European HTA bodies.
