The objective was to investigate how state level strategies in South Carolina could maximize HPV vaccine uptake. An environmental scan identified barriers, facilitators, and for improving vaccination Carolina. Interviews were conducted with leaders from relevant organizations such as public health agencies, medical associations, K-12 schools, universities, insurers, cancer advocacy organizations. A thematic content analysis design used. Digital interview files transcribed, a data dictionary...
40 million people in the world are need of palliative care, but only one-seventh that population receive services. Underuse care low resource countries exacerbates suffering patients with life limiting illnesses such as cancer.The current study was conducted to identify barriers, facilitators and recommended strategies for informing development a home-based intervention poor medically underserved rural Kolkata, India.Semi-structured interviews were 20 clinical patient stakeholders India....
The SARS-CoV-2 viral pandemic has induced a global health crisis, which requires more in-depth investigation into immunological responses to develop effective treatments and vaccines. To understand protective immunity against COVID-19, we screened over 60,000 asymptomatic individuals in the Southeastern United States for IgG antibody positivity Spike protein, approximately 3% were positive. Of these 3%, with highest anti-S or anti-RBD level showed strong correlation inhibition of ACE2...
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of mortality among Malawian women, despite being preventable through screening and preventive therapy. In 2004, Malawi implemented a national program, using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) cryotherapy, but its success has been limited due to equipment human resources challenges. Since development that new technologies for treatment are less resource-intensive more scalable have become available. GeneXpert systems provide fast, accurate HPV...
To explore the experiences of Malawian women who underwent a human papillomavirus (HPV)-based screen-triage-treat algorithm for cervical cancer (CxCa) prevention. This included GeneXpert® HPV testing self-collected vaginal samples, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and colposcopy HPV-positive women, thermal ablation ablation-eligible women. In-depth interviews were conducted participants trial that evaluated feasibility HPV-based among living HIV negative in Lilongwe, Malawi....
Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the leading cause of incidence and mortality among Malawian women, despite being a largely preventable disease. Implementing cervical screening preventive treatment (CCSPT) program that utilizes rapid human papillomavirus (HPV) testing on self-collected cervicovaginal samples for thermal ablation may achieve greater coverage than current programs use visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) cryotherapy treatment. Furthermore, self-sampling creates...
253 Background: Oncology providers regularly face death and serious illness while shepherding patients through the cancer journey. International research shows that oncologists frequently experience grief is linked to compassion fatigue. Providing care for with terminal has been burnout, but relationship between burnout not explored. We sought describe prevalence of in oncology US its link burnout. Methods: surveyed 255 Duke providers, including Cancer Network. Our survey included...
