Efficient and Rapid Histomorphometry of Regenerating Peripheral Nerve.

Introduction/aims: Peripheral nerve surgery entails repairing or transferring nerves to restore sensory or motor functions. Functional outcomes correlate with axon counts within operated nerves, but there exists no reliable means for intraoperative assessment of injured nerves. Conventional histologic assessment of regenerating peripheral nerve is labor-intensive, requiring multiday processing for tissue immunohistochemistry.

Geospatial evaluation of radiologic access in Rwanda.

Background: Rwanda has aimed to rebuild its health care system since the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis in 1994, though one of the challenges has been a scarcity of radiologic resources.

Objective: To assess the location and accessibility of radiologic facilities in Rwanda using geospatial mapping and population-based data.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2023 using location and radiologic modality data provided by the Department of Radiology at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali and the WorldPop database, a publicly available database providing open-access geospatial population data.
