There is a lack of ethical triage and treatment guidelines for the entrapped mangled extremity (E&ME) in resource-scarce environments (RSE): mass casualty incidents, low- to middle-income countries, complex humanitarian emergencies including conflict, prolonged transport times (RSE). The aim this study use modified Delphi (mD) approach produce statements develop E&ME RSE. Experts rated their agreement with each statement on 7-point linear numeric scale. Consensus amongst experts was defined...
Abstract Objectives Explosive ordnance (EO) and explosive weapons (EW) inflict significant suffering on civilian populations in conflict post-conflict settings. At present, there is limited coordination between humanitarian mine action (HMA) emergency care for victims of EO/EW. Key informant interviews with sector experts were conducted to evaluate strategies enhanced engagement HMA capacity-building EO/EW-affected Methods A cross-sectional qualitative study was interview health experts....
Civilians bear a significant burden of morbidity and mortality in modern armed conflicts, particularly when explosive weapons are used densely populated areas. Many civilian facilities were attacked the war Tigray since beginning hostilities November 2020. This study assessed impact airstrikes on civilians from June 2021 until signing Agreement for Lasting Peace through Permanent Cessation Hostilities between Ethiopian Government People's Liberation Front 2022. A retrospective review was...
Abstract Objectives Simulation materials for layperson first responder (LFR) trainings used in high-resource settings are prohibitively expensive use low- and low-middle income countries. To date, no structured approach to community-engaged design identifying accessible acceptable simulation LFR has been developed. Methods We conducted 2 workshops with male (18) female participants (10) a rural village the Centre-Est region of Burkina Faso using principles research define solutions...
Cattle raiding, a longstanding practice among pastoralists in South Sudan, was historically governed by cultural authorities and ritual prohibitions. However, after decades of on-and-off integration into armed forces, raiders are now heavily armed, military-style attacks claim dozens if not hundreds lives at time. Beginning with the emergence infamous Lou Nuer "White Army" Bor Massacre early 1990s, which Riek Machar mobilized local herders to mount devastating attack against heartland Sudan...
Abstract Background Decades of war left the Republic South Sudan with a fragile health system that has remained deprived resources since country’s independence. We describe coverage interventions for women’s and children’s in Upper Nile Unity states, explore factors affected service provision during protracted conflict. Methods conducted case study using desk review publicly available literature 2013 secondary analysis intervention conflict-related events from 2010 to 2017. During June...
Armed conflict in the 21st century poses new challenges to a humanitarian surgical response, including changing security requirements, access patients, and communities need, limited deployable assets, resource constraints, requirement address both traumatic injuries as well emergency needs of population. At same time, recent improvements trauma care systems have reduced injury-related mortality. This combination medical capabilities warrants reconsideration long-standing surgery protocols.To...
Nomadic pastoralists are among the world's hardest-to-reach and least served populations. Pastoralist communities difficult to capture in household surveys because of factors including their high degree mobility over remote terrain, fluid domestic arrangements, cultural barriers. Most use census-based sampling frames which do not accurately demographic health parameters nomadic As a result, "invisible" population data such as Demographic Health Surveys (DHS). By combining sensing geospatial...
To characterize humanitarian trauma care delivered by US military treatment facilities (MTFs) in Afghanistan and Iraq during combat operations.International Humanitarian Law, which includes the Geneva Conventions, defines protections standards of to victims armed conflicts. In 1949, these expanded include injured civilians. 2001, Global War on Terror began 2003. MTFs provided all forces, civilians, enemy prisoners. A thorough understanding scope, epidemiology, resource requirements, outcomes...
Pediatric melanomas are rare tumors that have clinical and histological differences from adult melanomas. In melanoma, the immunohistochemical marker PRAME is increasingly employed as a diagnostic adjunct. also under investigation target structure for next-generation immunotherapies including T-cell engagers. Little known about characteristics of expression in pediatric melanoma. this retrospective study, samples 25 were compared with control groups young adults (18-30 years; n = 32),...
Genomic characterisation has led to an improved understanding of adult melanoma. However, the aetiology melanoma in children is still unclear and identifying correct diagnosis therapeutic strategies remains challenging.Exome sequencing matched tumour-normal pairs from 26 paediatric patients was performed study mutational spectrum melanomas. The cohort grouped into different categories: spitzoid (SM), conventional (CM), other melanomas (OT).In all with CM (n = 10) germline variants associated...
The effects of COVID-19 have gone undocumented in nomadic pastoralist communities across Africa, which are largely invisible to health surveillance systems despite the fact that they key significance setting emerging infectious disease. We expose these landscapes as a "blind spot" global surveillance, elaborate on ways current infrastructure is ill-equipped capture populations and animals with coexist, highlight consequential risks inadequate among pastoralists their livestock health. As...
