Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of handwashing, prompting governments worldwide to improve access to water and sanitation services, with initiatives documented across 84 countries.
- Responses varied significantly, showing disparities in ambitions and effectiveness; while hygiene promotion measures were common, consistent availability of soap and water was lacking, particularly in vulnerable rural areas.
- Lessons from the pandemic suggest the need for targeted strategies to enhance resilience in future emergencies, including better coordination, financial support for service providers, and specific pandemic response plans.
Objective: To evaluate hemoglobin (Hb) levels before and during radiotherapy and its role as prognostic factor on treatment results of patients treated for cancer cervix.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and seven patients with cervical cancer were registered and managed at KCCC during 1995 - 1999. The pre-treatment and mid treatment Hb levels were found for 47 patients only.
Background: Improvement of current results of therapy for large cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients can be achieved by optimization of initial treatment or application of risk-adapted therapy. The international prognostic index ( IPI), introduced to identify high-risk patients, was recently criticized because it was based on clinical risk factors only, ignoring important tumor molecular risk factors and it fails to identify a sector of high-risk patients, who ultimately relapse.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of two tumor biomarkers:MIB-1 and p53 as potential risk factors in diffuse large cell lymphoma.
Anemia in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective: To determine the frequency of anemia in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the time of initial oncologic consultation.
Material And Method: We reviewed 144 consecutive charts of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC, who were seen in consultation at the Hamilton Regional Cancer Center (Canada) between January and June of 1998.
Results: Eighty nine patients had pre-treatment hemoglobin (Hb) levels available and 30 of those patients (33.
Purpose: In a previous work we have studied MDR status in terms of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and Rhodamine 123 efflux assay in Egyptian acute leukemia patients. We have reported results comparable to the literature as regards ANLL both in pediatric and adult cases. However, higher figures were encountered for the functional assay in ALL.
