Clinical Characteristics and Molecular Profiles of Lung Cancer in Ethiopia.

Introduction: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, accounting for 1.8 million deaths each year. Only 20% of lung cancer cases are reported to occur in low- and middle-income countries.

Telemedicine interventions for hypertension management in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review.

Unlabelled: Hypertension remains the leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide and disproportionately impacts patients living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Telemedicine offers a potential solution for improving access to health care for vulnerable patients in LMICs.

Objectives: The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the evidence for telemedicine interventions for blood pressure management in LMICs and assess the relationships between the telemedicine intervention characteristics and clinical outcomes.

Modified PRIEST score for identification of very low-risk COVID patients.

Background: COVID-19 transmission remains high around the world, and severe local outbreaks continue to occur. Prognostic tools may be useful in crisis conditions as risk stratification can help determine resource allocation. One published tool, the Pandemic Respiratory Infection Emergency System Triage Severity Score, seems particularly promising because of its predictive ability and ease of application at the bedside.

Clinical Manifestations and Outcomes of Critically Ill Children and Adolescents with Coronavirus Disease 2019 in New York City.

Objectives: To describe the clinical manifestations and outcomes of critically ill children with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) in New York City.

Study Design: Retrospective observational study of children 1 month to 21 years admitted March 14 to May 2, 2020, to 9 New York City pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.

Results: Of 70 children admitted to PICUs, median age was 15 (IQR 9, 19) years; 61.

Bladder Organoids and Spheroids: Potential Tools for Normal and Diseased Tissue Modelling.

Bladder-related diseases are among the most common and costly to the healthcare system, and therefore require new approaches to treatment. Organoids and spheroids are 3D cultures that mimic organ features ex vivo and offer novel approaches for diagnostic and therapeutic assessment. The aim of this article was to provide a systematic review of the literature related to bladder organoids and spheroids, applied to disease diagnosis, characterization, and treatment.
