From the Ground Up: Building and Implementing a Successful CHW/Promotor(a) Program for Cancer Screening, Training, Education, and Prevention.

In this practice note, we examine the implementation and impact of the Texas Cancer Screening, Training, Education, and Prevention (C-STEP) program, which aims to reduce cancer disparities in medically underserved and rural areas. The program utilizes community health workers (CHWs) or promotor(a)s to provide outreach, education, and early detection services for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancers. C-STEP employs a multidisciplinary approach, partnering with the Center for Community Health Development National Community Health Worker Training Center to certify CHWs in cancer prevention and detection.

Effects of conditional cash transfers on tuberculosis incidence and mortality according to race, ethnicity and socioeconomic factors in the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort.

Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs have been implemented globally to alleviate poverty. Although tuberculosis (TB) is closely linked to poverty, the effects of CCT on TB outcomes among populations facing social and economic vulnerabilities remain uncertain. Here we estimated the associations between participation in the world's largest CCT program, the Brazilian Bolsa Família Program (BFP), and the reduction of TB incidence, mortality and case-fatality rates using the nationwide 100 Million Brazilian Cohort between 2004 and 2015.

Bioactivity-guided identification of cytotoxic compounds from Tournefortia hirsutissima L. by Fast Centrifugal Partition Chromatography.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, where cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in women. Existing treatments, although effective, have various adverse effects and often require a combination of two or more therapies. Previous studies have shown that different plant species of the genus Tournefortia sp.

Socioeconomic inequalities in adherence to clinical practice guidelines and breast cancer survival: a multicentre population-based study in Spain.

Introduction And Aims: Women residing in lower socioeconomic status (SES) areas have lower breast cancer survival but it is not clear how differences in the quality of care received contribute to these disparities. We compared adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and subsequent breast cancer survival between women residing in lower versus higher SES areas.

Methods: We conducted a multicentre population-based study of all new cases of invasive breast cancer in women diagnosed 2010-2014 in six Spanish provinces with population-based cancer registries (n=3206).

Effects of intramuscular administration of Platelet-Rich Plasma on denervated muscle after peripheral nerve injury.

Purpose: After peripheral nerve injury (PNI), prolonged denervation of the target muscle prevents adequate reinnervation even if the nerve is repaired. The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of intramuscular Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in a denervated muscle due to PNI.Materials and.
