Organizational Conditions That Impact the Implementation of Effective Team-Based Models for the Treatment of Diabetes for Low Income Patients-A Scoping Review.

Team-based care models (TBC) have demonstrated effectiveness to improve health outcomes for vulnerable diabetes patients but have proven difficult to implement in low income settings. Organizational conditions have been identified as influential on the implementation of TBC. This scoping review aims to answer the question: What is known from the scientific literature about how organizational conditions enable or inhibit TBC for diabetic patients in primary care settings, particularly settings that serve low-income patients? A scoping review study design was selected to identify key concepts and research gaps in the literature related to the impact of organizational conditions on TBC.

[Usefulness of Hybrid Capture II detection of high-risk human papillomavirus in women with abnormal pap-smears of the uterine cervix].

Introduction: The objectives of the study were to investigate the usefulness of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) detection in women with abnormal pap-smears as an adjunct to screening by cervical cytology, and to determine the viral load distribution according to the histological grade of the lesions.

Methods: A total of 75 women were referred for cytological study of atypical cells of unknown origin (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LG-SIL) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HG-SIL). All patients underwent colposcopy, histological study and HR-HPV detection using the Hybrid Capture II test.
