The evolution of rates were analyzed for the following categories: murder, larceny, bodily harm followed by death, homicide for resistance to police resulting in death, policeman killed, missing persons and dead bodies found in the state and city of Rio de Janeiro and in Integrated Public Security Area 16 (AISP 16). An ecological study was conducted for the period from 2002 to 2013, using data from the Public Security Institute. To analyze the time trend and evolution of murder charges, resistance to police resulting in death and missing persons rates, Joinpoint regression was performed, using these rates as the dependent variables and the calendar year as the independent variable. For the other categories only the time trends of the rates were analyzed for the relative change in rates at the beginning and end of the period. There were falls in rates in all categories, except for missing persons. The murder rate showed a significant downward trend in the three locations. The results contributed to definition of the pattern of violence in the three locations based on the dialogue between the social sciences, public health and safety that made it possible to establish subjective and objective aspects linked to the study findings.

Ten year analysis of missed injuries at a major trauma centre in South Africa.
Surg Pract Sci
June 2023
University of KwaZulu Natal, Department of Surgery, South Africa.
Introduction: This analysis retrospectively reviews a tertiary trauma service's experience with missed injuries over a decade.
Methods: The Pietermaritzburg Metropolitan Trauma Service (PMTS) has accumulated electronic data on all admissions since 2012. This data informs the monthly morbidity and mortality conference, where adverse events are discussed.
Perceptions and barriers of telehealth services among trauma and acute care surgery patients.
Surg Pract Sci
December 2022
University of Mississippi Medical Center, 2500 N State Street, Jackson, MS 39216, USA.
Background: Patients admitted to tertiary centers are often transferred from long distances and thus follow-up care presents a significant challenge for these patients. The use of telehealth in outpatient visits has been shown to decrease travel costs and increase patient satisfaction, but many studies were performed in urban settings and did not address usability limitations for patients in rural settings. The purpose of the study was to understand the patient-perceived feasibility of utilizing telehealth in a large rural referral trauma center and assess patient's perceptions of telehealth.

Open Forum Infect Dis
January 2025
Sorbonne Université, INSERM, Institut Pierre Louis d'Épidémiologie et de Santé Publique, Paris, France.
Background: We evaluated 1-year engagement in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care and associated factors among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in a large cohort of oral PrEP users in the Paris region, France.
Methods: We included in this analysis cisgender GBMSM enrolled in the ANRS PREVENIR cohort study from 3 May 2017 to 28 February 2019. We categorized 1-year PrEP engagement into 4 categories: high (consistent visits, attendance, and prescription refills at months 3, 6, 9, and 12), low (missed visits or no prescription refills), disengagement (PrEP discontinuation), and lost to follow-up.
Diagnostic value of third-generation nanopore sequencing in extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2025
Department of Tuberculosis, The Fourth People's Hospital of Nanning, Nanning, China.
Background: This study aimed to explore the accuracy of third-generation nanopore sequencing to diagnose extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB).
Methods: Samples were collected from the lesions of 67 patients with suspected EPTB admitted between April 2022 and August 2023. Nanopore sequencing, acid-fast bacilli (AFB) staining, DNA testing, and X-pert and mycobacterial cultures were performed.
Looking under the hood of a hybrid two-way texting intervention to improve early retention on antiretroviral therapy in Malawi: an implementation fidelity evaluation.
Implement Sci
January 2025
Department of Global Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Background: While key to interpreting findings and assessing generalizability, implementation fidelity is underreported in mobile health (mHealth) literature. We evaluated implementation fidelity of an opt-in, hybrid, two-way texting (2wT) intervention previously demonstrated to improve 12-month retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in a quasi-experimental study in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Methods: Short message service (SMS) data and ART refill visit records were used to evaluate adherence to 2wT content, frequency and duration through the lens of the Conceptual Framework for Implementation Fidelity.
