Recognition at the Heart of the Complex Situations Experienced by People With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.

Objective: Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP) is frequent in chronic diseases, decreasing the quality of life of these patients. In a survey conducted in Belgium in 2019, chronic pain was named by patients as the main factor of complexity in their lives. The objective of our research was to provide elements to understand why and how CMSP contributes to the complexity of these people's lives.

The Beneficial Role of Participation in Decision-Making on Workers' Health and Commitment: A Cross-Sectional Study in Belgium's Health and Homecare Sector.

Objectives: To test the hypothesis of a beneficial role of worker participation in the decision-making process as a buffer against demanding work organisation on mental and physical health and commitment.

Methods: A cross-sectional study (N = 1134) was conducted among workers employed in the health and homecare sector. Multiple regressions and moderation analyses were performed to test whether worker participation in decision-making moderates the association between demanding work organisation and health and whether it directly predicts work commitment.

The commitment of French midwifery teachers to doctoral studies: A qualitative study based on experience feedback.

Introduction: In 2014, nine percent of French midwifery teachers were enrolled in doctoral studies or already had a doctoral degree, although they are only required to have a Master's degree. Doctoral studies last at least three years and require high intellectual work. This study aimed to evaluate the motivational sources underlying the commitment of French midwifery teachers to their doctoral studies, and to identify the factors involved in managing their doctoral studies, family life, and professional life.

An analytical framework for breast cancer public policies in Sub-Saharan Africa: results from a comprehensive literature review and an adapted policy Delphi.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in women and is a major public health problem worldwide. Despite the lower incidence rates of breast cancer in resource-limited settings, especially sub-Saharan Africa, there is a higher mortality rate compared to high-resource countries where the disease has a higher incidence. This makes breast cancer the second deadliest cancer in African women.

ORAOV1, CCND1, and MIR548K Are the Driver Oncogenes of the 11q13 Amplicon in Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Unlabelled: 11q13 amplification is a frequent event in human cancer and in particular in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Despite almost invariably spanning 10 genes, it is unclear which genetic components of the amplicon are the key driver events in SCC. A combination of computational, in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models leveraging efficient primary human keratinocyte genome editing by Cas9-RNP electroporation, identified ORAOV1, CCND1, and MIR548K as the critical drivers of the amplicon in head and neck SCC.

Formal and informal medicine retailers in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review of research trends.

Objectives: In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), private medicine retailers have become the first entry point to health systems, irrespective of their level of accreditation. This review aims to map the main trends in research about formal and informal medicine retailers in SSA over the past 20 years. Such an overview offers a valuable resource to understand their role and develop inclusive interventions to improve accessibility to health care in line with people's health-seeking behaviours.

How local stakeholders' social representations shape the future of ageing in place: Insights from 'health and care social innovations' in Wallonia (Belgium).

This research attempts to study the social representations underlying health and care social innovations (HCSI) implemented in Wallonia, Belgium to shift ageing policies and management towards the ageing in place paradigm. A panel of 34 experts was interviewed to understand their representations using a Delphi-based methodology. The data were processed using thematic content analysis.

What has been preventing the emergence of a broad social movement on diabetes (and NCDs)? Insights from the mobilisation of diabetes patients' associations in Bamako, Mali.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. While international strategies for their prevention and control call for greater civil society participation, many observers regret the lack of a broad social movement to address these diseases. This study focuses on diabetes patients' associations engaged from 1991 to 2014 in Bamako, Mali, and explores what factors influenced their capacity to build a collective national movement to address this disease and shape policy reforms in this area.

[Not Available].

Introduction: This article aims to take stock of the ways in which the concept of participation is used in mental health, particularly in the literature relating to patient support. Based on the debates and issues identified, we propose a framework for analyzing participatory practices.

Method: The methodology is based on a literature review to which a meta-synthesis has been applied.

"Squeezed like a lemon": A participatory approach on the effects of innovation on the well-being of homecare workers in Belgium.

Innovative programs that emerge in response to the rapidly changing care needs of older adults provide an opportunity to study the transformations in working and employment conditions within the homecare sector. This study seeks to understand how innovations introduced in the homecare sector have affected the well-being of homecare workers providing non-medical domestic support to older adults who wish to age in place. Our study is based on a participatory approach involving homecare workers exposed to two innovations in Wallonia (Belgium) that relate to flexible working hours, worker training, and technological equipment.

Metatarsal arch deformation and forefoot kinematics during gait in asymptomatic subjects.

This study aimed to investigate both foot arch-shaped architecture and forefoot kinematics during gait. Using a dedicated three-compartment forefoot subdivision, we studied asymptomatic subjects and quantified disorders related to the metatarsal arch. Foot motion and arch shape were measured in 30 healthy subjects with a motion-capture system and force plates.

Chronic patient as intermittent partner for policy-makers: the case of patient participation in the fight against diabetes and HIV/AIDS in Mali.

Background: National and international strategies have increasingly promoted chronic patient participation at different levels of the health care system, building the image of an 'active' chronic patient engaged for example in his/her daily self-care and within associations dealing with service delivery and/or policy advocacy. Drawing upon examples of the fight against diabetes and HIV/AIDS in Mali, this article explores the factors that influence the engagement of patient associations at policy level. We focus on the openness of the institutionalised political system, and explore the role that public authorities, caregivers and donors give to diabetes and HIV/AIDS patients.

Company size, work-home interference, and well-being of self-employed entrepreneurs.

Background: The impact of working conditions on the health and well-being of workers of large enterprises has been widely described. This influence has not been studied as extensively in very small and medium-sized enterprises mainly due to methodological difficulties. Smaller organisations nevertheless constitute a reality that needs to be better understood.

[Caesarean section in the context of free policy in Benin].

Caesarean section was well appreciated by most beneficiaries. However, an audit of caesarean sections would ensure compliance with the principles of free care and better management of women at all levels of the health system..

Inhibition of fatty acid oxidation as a therapy for MYC-overexpressing triple-negative breast cancer.

Expression of the oncogenic transcription factor MYC is disproportionately elevated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), as compared to estrogen receptor-, progesterone receptor- or human epidermal growth factor 2 receptor-positive (RP) breast cancer. We and others have shown that MYC alters metabolism during tumorigenesis. However, the role of MYC in TNBC metabolism remains mostly unexplored.
