Using Graphics as an Alternative to Written Instructions: Adapting Oral Self-Implemented Test Instructions for Tanzanian Youth.

In sub-Saharan Africa, HIV is the leading cause of death among 15-24-year-olds. Tanzanian youth rank fifth in HIV prevalence, yet testing rates are low. Dissemination of oral HIV self-implemented tests (Oral-SIT) may improve access if tests are coupled with graphic instructions to address low literacy.

[Rarer, safer, shorter urinary catheterization: interprofessional objective].

The indwelling urinary catheter is a frequent procedure which has a significant nosocomial impact with a risk of infectious and non-infectious complications. Studies show a reduction in the risk of these complications thanks to better monitoring of recommendations as part of programs within healthcare establishments aimed at improving professional practices (indication, monitoring, etc.).

Method development for the quantification of lead levels in whole blood sampled on Mitra with VAMS tips by inductively coupled plasma-MS/MS.

Lead is harmful for humans by having adverse effects on different biological systems. Venepuncture is the gold standard for blood lead level analysis, but this method has many flaws. The goal of this research was to develop and validate a more practical approach for blood sampling.

Ten-year follow-up of a total knee prosthesis combining multi-radius, ultra-congruency, posterior-stabilization and mobile-bearing insert shows long-lasting clinically relevant improvements in pain, stiffness, function and stability.

Purpose: There is a paucity of data available on total knee prostheses combining dual-radius, ultra-congruency, posterior-stabilization and mobile-bearing insert. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the clinical evolution of the FIRST prosthesis (Symbios Orthopédie, Yverdon, CH), the earliest prosthesis with this particular design. It was hypothesized that the primary outcomes, evaluating pain, stiffness, function and stability, would improve following arthroplasty and remain improved during the follow-up period of 10 years.
