Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic venous insufficiency manifestation following an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). It is an important and frequent long-term adverse event of proximal DVT affecting 20-50% of patients. This position paper integrates data guiding clinicians in deciding PTS diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.Treatment for metastatic non-small-cell lung carcinoma has seen important advances in recent years with the introduction of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, which target the programmed death 1 receptor and programmed death ligand-1, alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, have become standard of care in the first-line setting for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma without targetable driver mutations. However, several clinical questions have now since emerged. Physicians treating lung cancer lack guidance when treating patients who have a poor performance status, patients who are receiving corticosteroids, and those known for pre-existing autoimmune disorders. Furthermore, data are scarce on rechallenging a patient with immune checkpoint inhibitors after the occurrence of a significant immune-related adverse event. In this review, we aim to shed light on these topics.

Burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment because of chronic occupational stress. Approximately one third of pediatric hematology-oncology physicians experience burnout. The goal of this mixed methods study was to determine the prevalence and drivers of burnout among physicians caring for pediatric hematology-oncology patients at our institution.

This mixed methods, cross-sectional study was conducted at a large academic cancer center. Validated survey instruments were used to measure burnout, job demands, experience with patient safety events, and workplace culture. Quantitative data informed development of a semistructured interview guide, and physicians were randomly selected to participate in individual interviews. Camostat Sodium Channel inhibitor Interviews were transcribed and analyzed via content analysis based on a priori codes.

The survey was distributed to 132 physicians, and 53 complete responses were received (response rate 40%). Of the 53 respondents, 15 (28%) met can be targeted for intervention. This methodology can be easily adapted for broad use and may represent an effective strategy for identifying and mitigating institution-specific drivers of burnout.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. In Nigeria, it accounts for 22.7% of all new cancer cases among women. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) entails using the results from healthcare research to enhance the clinical decision-making process and develop evidence-based treatment guidelines. Level 1 and 2 studies, such as randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials, yield more robust types of evidence. This study reviewed the levels of evidence of breast cancer publications in Nigeria.

We conducted an electronic literature search of all studies published on breast cancer in Nigeria from January 1961 to August 2019. We reviewed all the articles found under the search term "Breast Cancer in Nigeria" on medical databases.

Our search identified 2,242 publications. One thousand two hundred fifty duplicates were removed, and 520 were excluded. A total of 472 articles were considered eligible for this review. Most of these articles were case series or reports (30.7%), qualitative studies (15.7%), followed by cross-sectional studies (13.3%), laboratory studies (12.9%), case-control studies (6.1%), case reports (7%), and cohort (5.7%).

Breast cancer research in Nigeria is yet to produce much evidence of the types considered to best support EBM. The scarcity of data hampers the implementation of EBM in Nigeria. Currently, most treatment guidelines are adapted from those developed in other countries, despite genetic differences among populations and different environmental influencing factors.

The fungal pathogen can rapidly evolve, producing new virulent races infecting previously resistant cultivars and genotypes adapting to different environments. The objective of this study was to investigate the long-term population dynamics of Pst in the US. Through genotyping 1,083 isolates of 1968 to 2009 using 14 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and 92 secreted protein single nucleotide polymorphism (SP-SNP) markers, 614 and 945 genotypes were detected, respectively. In general, the two types of markers produced consistent genetic relationships among the Pst populations over the 40 years. The prior 2000 and 2000-2009 populations were significantly different, and the latter showed higher genotypic diversity and higher heterozygosity than the former populations. Clustering analyses using genotypes of either SSR and SP-SNP markers revealed three molecular groups (MGs), of which MG1 and MG2 existed in both the prior 2000 and 2000-2009 populations while MG3 mainly emerged in 2000 to 2009. Some of the isolates in the period of 2000-2009 formed individual clusters, suggesting exotic incursions; whereas other isolates of the same period were clustered together with prior-2000 isolates, indicating that they were developed from the previously established populations. The data suggest the co-existence of newly introduced populations with established populations in the United States. Twenty SP-SNP markers were significantly associated to individual avirulence genes. The results are useful for developing more accurate monitoring systems and provides guidance for the disease management.
