The capacity and training needs of primary health care workers in Nyeri and Nakuru counties of Kenya: a cross-sectional study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Reinit Research, Nairobi, Kenya.
Background: Health systems based on primary healthcare (PHC) have reduced costs and are effective for improved health outcomes. Kenya's health system grapples with providing equitable access to essential health services, but there is increasing commitment by the government to strengthen primary healthcare. The aim of this paper is to provide a baseline assessment of the capacity and training needs of healthcare workers (HCWs) in Nakuru and Nyeri Counties and identify priorities for intervention.

Background: Our goal was to evaluate the clinical impact of local and systemic imaging in secondary breast angiosarcoma (SBAS) at diagnosis (DX) and in follow-up (FU).
Materials And Methods: Singe-center retrospective review of SBAS treated from 1/2007-7/2020. Clinicopathologic data was collected, including local and systemic imaging at DX and FU.
A Comparison of Complication Rates in Flexor Tendon Repair Performed in Operating Rooms Versus Clinic-Based Procedure Rooms.
Plast Surg (Oakv)
January 2025
Plastic Surgery Division, Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.
Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has demonstrated its value in hand surgery allowing surgeons to safely operate patients in different settings outside of a formal operating room (OR). Flexor tendon lacerations have historically been repaired in the controlled setting of an OR. Plastic surgeons at our university-affiliated center have increasingly been performing flexor repairs in clinic-based procedure rooms (PRs).

Oncoimmunology
December 2025
Université de Franche-Comté, EFS, INSERM, UMR RIGHT, Besançon, France.
Tissue-resident memory (T) T cells have emerged as key players in cancer immunosurveillance, and their presence has been linked to a favorable clinical outcome in solid cancer patients. Liver metastases exhibit a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, however, the role and clinical impact of T cell infiltration in colorectal cancer remain elusive. The expression of several tissue residency and activation biomarkers has been investigated on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes isolated from 26 patients' colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRC liver metastases) and compared to 16 peripheral blood samples of patients with CRC liver metastases.

Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Digestive Surgery and Liver Transplantation Unit, Archet 2 Hospital, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice, Nice, France.
Aim: The lungs represent the second most common site of colorectal cancer metastases. Although surgery is commonly considered the best treatment, many other invasive and noninvasive procedures and treatments have been adopted to improve patient survival and there is no clear evidence in the literature of which is the more effective. The aim of this work was to identify which treatment confers the best gain in overall survival for patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.
