<b>Introduction</b> Successful treatment of tuberculosis relies on microbiological diagnosis and drug sensitivities. Due to the pauci-bacillary nature childhood infection, this is often not possible. We describe successful using thoracoscopic pleural nodule biopsy. <b>Material Methods</b> In seven patients presenting with pulmonary involvement, but in whom could be established, biopsy was performed analyzed for histology, acid-fast bacilli, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA, culture,...
Abstract Background The unmet global burden of surgical disease is substantial. Lancet Commission on Global Surgery (LCoGS) estimated that 5 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable and timely care, with 80% those without living in low‐ middle‐income countries. Milne Bay Province (pop 331 000) Papua New Guinea, an archipelago islands up 750 km from its capital, Alotau, has only one hospital capable performing Caesarean Section, Emergency Laparotomy managing open fracture, the...
Pacific Island Countries (PICs) face unique challenges in providing surgical care. We assessed the care capacity of five PICs to inform development National Surgical, Obstetric and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAP).
Carcinoma of the pancreas is fifth leading cause cancer death, with majority patients presenting unresectable disease. Research into new adjuvant therapies hampered by lack suitable in vivo and vitro models. We have examined potential seven pancreatic carcinoma cell lines to grow as multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS). Three (43%) were scored positive for MTS formation, growth characteristics spheroid models PANC1 MIAPaCa2 are presented. Implantation athymic nude mice produces tumors...
Abstract Background Simulation‐based education (SBE) has been increasingly used to train healthcare workers in low‐resource settings and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Consideration of educational cultural context is important maximize effectiveness SBE. Despite its demonstrable benefits, there have no studies general approach Pacific Islands. This study aimed determine factors that influence uptake success SBE Methods In this qualitative study, participants were recruited...
