Gender Analysis, Milk Value Chain, Kabale Uganda. Kabale: Kabale University. by Tugume, Samuel

“…While comparing the challenges faced by the male and female genders, men have better access to education and training than women(4.2 vs. 2.2) women perform a larger share of unpaid or underpaid labour(4.6 vs. 1.7), women face greater challenges in accessing markets and value-addition opportunities. (4.6 vs. 2.1); women likely have less time to dedicate solely to farm activities (4.2 vs. 2.3); men hold more decision-making authority (3.9 vs. 2.7) while both genders might face challenges in accessing these services, but women are still disadvantaged (4.7 vs. 4.5). …”

Predictive value of ENLIGHT-DP in patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and platinum chemotherapy directly from histopathology slid... by Eli Pikarsky, Anna Elia, Gal Dinstag, Omer Tirosh, Tuvik Beker, Ranit Aharonov, Hovav Nechushtan, Leon Gugel, Yaron Kinar, Michael Tabi, Tzivia Gottlieb, Aron Popovtzer, Johnathan Arnon, Yakir Rottenberg, Philip Blumenfeld

“…ENLIGHT-DP is the only biomarker in this cohort significantly correlated with progression-free survival (HR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.2 to 0.99, p=0.048).Conclusion We demonstrate the application of ENLIGHT-DP, a transcriptome-based biomarker for accurate prediction of treatment of LUAD with ICI and platinum-based chemotherapy, outperforming PD-L1 and TMB, and relying solely on accessible H&E scanned slides. Further studies on different tumor types, ICI monotherapy and bigger NSCLC cohorts are warranted.…”

Central venous oxygen saturation changes as a reliable predictor of the change of CI in septic shock: To explore potential influencing factors by Ran An, Xi-Xi Wan, Yan Chen, Run Dong, Chun-Yao Wang, Wei Jiang, Li Weng, Bin Du

“…Conclusion: ΔScvO2 served as a reliable surrogate marker for ΔCI and could be utilized to assess fluid responsiveness, given that the change in CI was the sole contributing factor to the ΔScvO2. In stable hemoglobin conditions, the absolute value of ScvO2 could serve as a monitoring indicator for adequate oxygen delivery independent of oxygen consumption.…”

Brown, Luke Wolfenden

“…Relative to control, we found increased odds of adoption in Trial 1 that employed a combination of the educational materials and local facilitation strategies (OR 8.78; 95%CI 2.90, 26.56; p < 0.001), but no significant differences in adoption in Trial 2 or 3 that employed solely the educational materials strategy. Pooled data suggests the combination of educational materials and local facilitation has a greater effect on adoption compared to educational materials alone (OR 4.18; 95%CI 1.60, 10.04; n = 3 studies; indirect effect). …”
