BCG Medac® for the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors: adverse events and predictive factors for tolerance.

Introduction: Adjuvant treatment with endovesical BCG instillations after resection of a bladder urothelial tumor remains the gold standard for intermediate- or high-risk non-muscle-invasive tumors. However, it is associated with frequent and sometimes serious adverse events (AEs).

Objectives: To comprehensively assess the frequency, intensity, and potential risk factors of BCG instillation AEs following the field experience of a single French center using only the Medac® BCG.

Reducing Commercial Tobacco Sales to Youth On and Around California Tribal Reservations With a Reward and Reminder Retail Intervention.

Introduction: High prevalence of commercial tobacco product (CTP) use among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth is a public health crisis. A multi-level Tribal-community-based participatory research project under Tribal public health authority implemented a retailer-focused intervention to reduce AI/AN youth CTP use.

Aims And Methods: We sought resolutions in support of a retailer-focused CTP intervention from Tribal Nations organized by a Tribally directed research program.

ARCHERY: a prospective observational study of artificial intelligence-based radiotherapy treatment planning for cervical, head and neck and prostate cancer - study protocol.

Introduction: Fifty per cent of patients with cancer require radiotherapy during their disease course, however, only 10%-40% of patients in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) have access to it. A shortfall in specialised workforce has been identified as the most significant barrier to expanding radiotherapy capacity. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based software has been developed to automate both the delineation of anatomical target structures and the definition of the position, size and shape of the radiation beams.

Evaluation of a Lateral Flow Immunochromatography Assay (LFIA) for Diagnosis and Surveillance of Brucellosis in French Alpine Ibex ().

France has been officially free of bovine brucellosis since 2005. Nevertheless, in 2012, as the source of two human cases, a bovine outbreak due to biovar 3 was confirmed in the French Alpine Bargy massif, due to a spillover from wild, protected Alpine ibex (). In order to reduce high prevalence in the local ibex population, successive management strategies have been implemented.

Two-year Decay of Zika Virus Neutralizing Antibodies in People Living in an Endemic Region in Brazil.

It is currently not clear whether humoral immunity to Zika virus (ZIKV) elicited upon natural ZIKV infection is long-lasting. In addition, cross-reactivity of anti-ZIKV antibodies with antigenically related dengue viruses (DENV) may have biological implications in nonnaive individuals who subsequently acquire a heterotypic infection. Cross-reactive humoral immunity between ZIKV and DENV also complicates the interpretation of serological tests to evaluate previous exposure to either virus.
