Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 53-year-old male with symptoms like weight loss, hoarseness, and dysphagia led to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through a biopsy, following imaging that revealed a significant lesion in the larynx.
- * The patient successfully underwent eight cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, resulting in complete remission with no recurrence in two years, highlighting the need for early detection and treatment due to symptom similarities with other laryngeal issues.
Background: Promoting the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) is one of the main strategies for reducing malaria-related morbidity. An innovative activity-based contracting (ABC) approach has been implemented in Kwilu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo to optimize ITN mass distribution campaigns, with payments based on contractually defined programmatic outcomes for key campaign activities following independent verification of results.
Methods: This internal evaluation was carried out using a mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative document and content analysis from a series of three workshops: validation workshops for campaign results at provincial level for the 2021 and 2022 campaigns; internal evaluation workshop for the Kwilu campaign as part of the ABC approach organized by "Santé pour tous en milieu rural" (SANRU) with its sub-contractors; and national campaign evaluation workshop organized by the National Malaria Control Program.
Background After anterior resection (AR), one of the most debilitating complications is low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) seen in about 64% of patients. The severity of the LARS score was significantly correlated with neoadjuvant treatment, the extent of rectal surgery, complication by the anastomotic leak, female gender, and age < 64 years. In this study, we analyzed the impact of various clinical factors on LARS and also the various domains of quality of life (QoL).

- - This study compares the wound healing effects of two types of Graphene Oxides (GOs), sourced from graphite and coal, when incorporated into Bacterial Nanocellulose (BNC) to create hydrogels for treating wounds.
- - The research shows that the edge functionalization of coal-derived C-GO helps achieve better dispersion in the hydrogels compared to graphite-derived G-GO, which tends to clump together, reducing its effectiveness.
- - Testing reveals that BNC/C-GO hydrogels are more effective in promoting cell migration and have antibacterial properties against E. coli, although their performance is limited by the amount of GO that can be used without agglomeration.
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been effectively used in biosensing applications due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Enhancing the coupling of light into plasmonic nanostructures can lead to engineered SERS substrates with improved sensitivity and performance. In the current study, we demonstrate a cavity-coupled structure that assists in enhancing the light-matter interaction leading to an improved SERS performance.
