Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how doctors treat a type of brain cancer called primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) using radiation therapy.
- Researchers checked the records of 79 patients who had this treatment between 2011 and 2018, and found that many doctors didn’t follow the recommended radiation doses and areas that should be treated.
- The study suggests that doctors should better follow guidelines for radiation to help patients survive longer and avoid cancer coming back, and they recommend updating these guidelines.
Article Synopsis
- Family farms significantly contribute to agroecological transitions, showcasing diverse socio-economic structures and farming practices.
- The study surveyed 254 family farms across 13 locations in Niger to enhance decentralized breeding programs for cowpea by categorizing farms based on their unique characteristics.
- By employing advanced statistical methods, the research identified four clusters of agrosystems, five clusters for cowpea management, and five clusters for farmers' evaluation criteria, thus improving the understanding of local farming diversity and aiding future breeding efforts.

This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and tolerance of two ACTs widely used for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum in Niger. The study was conducted from September to November 2017, at the Integrated Health Centers of Dogondoutchi and Birni N'Gaouré, in patients aged from 6 months to 15 years, with uncomplicated malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum. They were treated with either Artemether-Lumefantrine (AL) or Artesunate-Amodiaquine (ASAQ).

Eighty-one patients with FDG-PET before radiochemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. Semiquantitative data were measured with three fixed thresholds (35%, 41% and 50% of Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax)) and four segmentation methods based on iterative approaches (Black, Adaptive, Nestle and Fitting).

Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that zoledronate not only reduces the risk of fracture and stimulates osteoclastic remodeling but also increases the immune response and radiosensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of zoledronate in association with radiation therapy.
