Residents in long-term care facilities (LTCF) are a vulnerable population group. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-related deaths LTCF residents represent 30-60% of all COVID-19 many European countries. This situation demands that countries implement local and national testing, infection prevention control, monitoring programmes for order to identify clusters early, decrease the spread within between reduce size severity outbreaks.
Background The aim of this study is to explore factors influencing the engagement health and social professions students during COVID-19 pandemic. While antecedents have been studied previously, under pandemic conditions not yet investigated. Furthermore, there a particular need for research among in programs, as these are particularly affected by As theoretical basis, draws on demands-resources-theory. It hypothesized that pandemic-related personal resources drive pandemic, demands...
Objective This article describes the characteristics and early implementation experiences of community behavioral health agencies that received Primary Behavioral Health Care Integration (PBHCI) grants from Substance Abuse Mental Services Administration to integrate primary care into programs for adults with serious mental illness.

Background Madagascar's maternal health mortality ratio in 2013 was 478 deaths per 100,000 live births. Most are related to direct complications during pregnancy and childbirth could be reduced by providing comprehensive antenatal care (ANC). Objective The objective of the study assess usability feasibility a mobile system (mHealth) provide high-quality ANC, according World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Methods PANDA (Pregnancy And Newborn Diagnostic Assessment) is an...
Background Despite many efforts, maternal mortality remains a major burden in most developing countries. Mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to improve access obstetric care through apps that help patients and providers.

Methods We included who attended visits from 2015 2019 using called...
Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in sub-Saharan countries, constituting a major public health concern. In Cameroon, cervical ranks as most common type and deaths, mainly due to lack prevention. Objectives Our first main objective was understand barriers affecting women’s decision-making process regarding participation screening program Dschang district (West Cameroon). Second, we aimed explore acceptability perception...

Background: Two-dose COVID-19 vaccination often results in poor humoral response rates patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs); yet responses to booster vaccines and the risk of infection post-booster are mostly uncertain. Methods: We included 200 outpatients HMs predominantly lymphoid neoplasms (96%, 191/200) our academic center reported on responses, which were assessed by measurement anti-spike IgG antibodies peripheral blood as early 14 days after mRNA-based prime-boost vaccination,...
ABSTRACT Provirus Integration site for Moloney leukemia virus (Pim) family members are well‐known oncogenes, with an expression that is restricted to few cell types including hematopoietic cells in adult organisms, making it a promising target lymphoma treatment. Indeed, previous studies mature T‐cell (mTCL) revealed frequent upregulation of Pim expression. Nevertheless, inhibition kinases showed only minor effects on the viability mTCL so far. Thus, we here addressed cellular responses...
In 2020, approximately 281 million people lived in a country other than their of birth. Geneva, Switzerland, born countries constitute 40.2% the population. We aimed to describe population pregnant women delivering at University Hospitals Geneva (HUG) maternity department and identify associations between legal status, migration economic precarity with quality care health outcomes. performed an exploratory cross-sectional retrospective study including all who delivered HUG’s May 2019...
Abstract Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent among women, with 90% of cervical cancer-related deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries like Cameroon. Visual inspection acetic acid often used low-resource settings to screen for cancer; however, its accuracy can be limited. To address this issue, Swiss Federal Institute Technology Lausanne University Hospitals Geneva are collaborating develop an automated smartphone-based image classifier that serves as a...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling (Self-HPV) is a promising strategy to improve cervical cancer screening coverage in low-income countries. However, issues associated with women who prefer conventional HPV clinical-sampling over may affect participation. To address this issue, our study assessed factors women's preferences related Self-HPV. This was embedded large clinical trial recruiting aged 30-49 years primary HPV-based termed "3T-Approach" (for Test-Triage-Treatment), launched...
