Exploring the contribution of integrated healthcare practices to malaria control in Ghana: perspectives of medical herbalists.
BMC Complement Med Ther
January 2025
Public Health and Tropical Medicine, James Cook University, Townsville, QLD, 4811, Australia.
Background: The integration of herbal and orthodox medicines has gained momentum in global health, ensuring improved management of infectious diseases like malaria. This study explored the experiences of medical herbalists working in Ghana's diverse ecological zones to understand the contributions of integrated healthcare to malaria control.
Methods: A phenomenological design was employed to conduct in-depth interviews with 19 purposively sampled medical herbalists.
Incentives for smoking cessation.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Background: Financial incentives (money, vouchers, or self-deposits) can be used to positively reinforce smoking cessation. They may be used as one-off rewards, or in various schedules to reward steps towards sustained smoking abstinence (known as contingency management). They have been used in workplaces, clinics, hospitals, and community settings, and to target particular populations.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Purpose: Randomized trials have demonstrated similar local tumor control in patients treated with accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) compared with whole-breast irradiation. However, the optimal APBI dose for maximizing tumor control and minimizing toxicity is uncertain.
Methods And Materials: We enrolled patients ≥18 years of age with grade 1 or 2 ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I invasive breast cancer and resection margins ≥2 mm between 2003 and 2011 to a sequential dose-escalation trial using 3-dimensional conformal external beam APBI giving twice daily 4 Gy fractions with total doses of 32 Gy, 36 Gy, and 40 Gy.
Estimated prevalence of post-intensive care cognitive impairment at short-term and long-term follow-ups: a proportional meta-analysis of observational studies.
Ann Intensive Care
January 2025
School of Nursing, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, 5/F, 3 Sassoon Road, Academic Building, Pokfulam, Hong Kong.
Objective: Evidence of the overall estimated prevalence of post-intensive care cognitive impairment among critically ill survivors discharged from intensive care units at short-term and long-term follow-ups is lacking. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of the post-intensive care cognitive impairment at time to < 1 month, 1 to 3 month(s), 4 to 6 months, 7-12 months, and > 12 months discharged from intensive care units.
Methods: Electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO via ProQuest were searched from inception through July 2024.
Infliximab and adalimumab in the treatment of fistulizing Crohn's disease: a propensity score-matched analysis from the prospective Persistence Australian National IBD Cohort (PANIC4) study.
Am J Gastroenterol
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Sydney, Australia.
Background/aims: There are spare data on comparative medication efficacy in fistulizing Crohn's disease (FCD), particularly with immunomodulator co-therapy. Persistence is a unique way to assess real-world outcomes.
Methods: The persistence of all dispensed biological agents were analysed from the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) registry data 2005-2021 for FCD.
