Background: Significant disparities exist in laparoscopic training opportunities for surgeons in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). ALL-SAFE is an innovative, low-cost training system for LMIC surgeons' laparoscopic development. However, strategies to implement and scale ALL-SAFE are unstudied.

Background: Laparoscopic training remains inaccessible for surgeons in low- and middle-income countries, limiting its widespread adoption. We developed a novel tool for assessment of laparoscopic appendectomy skills through ALL-SAFE, a low-cost laparoscopy training system.

Methods: This pilot study in Ethiopia, Cameroon, and the USA assessed appendectomy skills using the ALL-SAFE training system.

Comparative Susceptibility of Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium falciparum Field Isolates to Reference and Lead Candidate Antimalarial Drugs in Ghana.

Article Synopsis
  • Malaria treatments have reduced the prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum, but other species, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, are becoming more common and lack effective treatment data.
  • A study evaluated the epidemiology and drug susceptibility of these infections over one year, finding that existing antimalarials like artesunate and lumefantrine were effective against different species, with chloroquine still inhibitory despite being withdrawn in Ghana.
  • The study highlighted the need for targeted therapies against specific species that can cause relapsing malaria, emphasizing the importance of new drug classes, such as imidazolopiperazines and PI4K inhibitors, for effective treatment strategies in combating malaria in Ghana.

Pleural disease is a common presentation and spans a heterogeneous population across broad disease entities; a common feature is the requirement for interventional procedures. Despite the frequency of such procedures, there is little consensus on rates of complications and risk factors associated with such complications. This narrative review was based on a structured search of the literature.
