Necroptosis-driving genes RIPK1, RIPK3 and MLKL-p are associated with intratumoral CD3+ and CD8+ T cell density and predict prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma by Akihiko Kawahara, Jun Akiba, Hirohisa Yano, Ambrogio Fassina, Rocco Cappellesso, Yoshiki Naito, Maria Guido, Paolo Simioni, Giuliana Cortese, Lorenzo Nicolè, Tiziana Sanavia, Valeria Maffeis, Claudia Maria Radu, Davide Serafin, Giacomo Zanus

“…As demonstrated in other solid neoplasms and HCC, infiltrating CD8+ T cells seem to be related to a better prognosis, but the mechanisms affecting the immune landscape in HCC are still mostly unknown. Necroptosis is a programmed, caspase-independent cell death that, unlike apoptosis, evokes immune response by releasing damage-associated molecular factors. …”

Scaling up tuberculosis case finding via private providers in Ghana: an impact evaluation using interrupted time series by Kenneth Mawuta Hayibor, Kenneth Mawuta Hayibor, Ernest Kenu, Gloria Ivy Mensah, Dziedzorm Awalime, Jabina Anaman, Adwoa Asante-Poku, Olena Ivanova, Bakuli Abhishek, Andrea Rachow, Andrea Rachow, Andrea Rachow, Nortey Nii Hanson-Nortey

“…BackgroundAlthough TB services are free in Ghana, TB case detection remains low and mostly limited to public facilities. To address this, a Public-Private Mix (PPM) Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) model was introduced, involving community private healthcare providers and the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to boost TB case detection rates.MethodsThis impact evaluation focuses on four key interventions targeting vulnerable populations in Ghana’s two largest metropolitan areas between the last quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2020. …”
