Currently, there is no effective treatment for CLBP that leads to long-term improvement. Hence, there is growing recognition of the need for behaviour techniques including motivational interviewing (MI) to address CLBP.

- Brain tumors pose a major global health issue, particularly in Africa, where limited access to diagnostics and treatment amplifies the crisis and lack of standardized cancer protocols.
- The Brain Tumor Consortium for Africa (BTCA) was created in 2023 to enhance CNS tumor diagnosis and care in Sub-Saharan Africa, identifying gaps in neuro-oncology capacity through a survey.
- The consortium aims to improve brain tumor management by expanding molecular diagnostics, standardizing biobanking, enhancing data collection, and advocating for better care in healthcare policies.
Article Synopsis
- * A scoping review analyzed 170 eligible studies, identifying 20 different case-finding methods with yields of new COPD cases ranging from 3.8% to 29%, with the highest yield from a combination of questionnaires, peak flow meters, and spirometry.
- * Key factors associated with successful case-finding included provider and patient education, active screening methods, and effective collaboration among healthcare providers.
Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous wound healing is a complex and tightly regulated process involving various cell types; disruptions can lead to issues like non-healing wounds or excessive scarring.
- Cellular senescence, which is a state where cells stop dividing, can aid in acute wound healing by facilitating tissue restoration but may contribute to chronic wounds that don’t heal or cause fibrosis.
- This review seeks to clarify the dual role of senescence in wound healing, exploring how it can either promote or hinder the process depending on whether the context is acute or chronic, and looks into strategies for improving healing outcomes.
