9 and 24.4 more LYG, respectively. With perfect adherence, screening initiation at age 45 versus 50years resulted in 26.1 and 28.6 CRC cases, respectively, with mt-sDNA and 22.8 and 25.5 cases with FIT; with reported real-world adherence there were 28.5 and 31.2 cases, respectively, with mt-sDNA and 37.1 and 40.2 cases with FIT. Similar patterns were observed for CRC deaths. With screening initiation at age 45 and reported adherence, mt-sDNA averted 8.6 more CRC cases and 3.3 more deaths per 1000 individuals than FIT.

Estimated CRC screening outcomes improved by lowering the initiation age from 50 to 45 years. Incorporating reported adherence rates yields greater benefits from triennial mt-sDNA versus annual FIT screening.

JEEs are 1 of 4 components of the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR) Monitoring and Evaluation Framework. Compared with the mandatory State Party Self-Assessment Annual Reporting tool, JEEs use a transparent, rigorous, and collaborative process with international and in-country experts to evaluate IHR implementation. Because it is voluntary and not all States Parties have completed JEEs, we conducted a multiple linear regression model using publicly available JEE data to estimate global IHR implementation. We extracted JEE scores from the published JEE reports for 78 States Parties to the IHR and 12 sociodemographic, economic, and health indicator variables from 3 official reports and 3 official databases for all 194 World Health Organization Member States. Our final model consisted of 4 variables that significantly account for the variance of JEE score total score from IHR annual reporting, lost disability-adjusted life years due to communicable diseases, gross domestic product, and health professional density (adjusted R2 = 0.833; P  less then  .0001). We estimated only 1 in 10 countries (n = 19, 9.7%) worldwide had achieved average scores indicating demonstrated capacity or sustainable capacity across the 19 technical areas in the JEE tool. All 19 of these countries were in the high-income group, according to the World Bank classification, and were ranked very high on the Human Development Index, according to the United Nations Development Programme. These findings highlight the importance of ongoing efforts toward advancing global health security, especially in middle- to lower-income countries with limited resources.Introduction The standard treatment of hemophilia A consists of the prophylactic administration of a coagulation factor concentrate, to be administered intravenously several times a week. Newly approved factor concentrates and non-factor products reduce the frequency of injection and offer better protection against bleeding.Areas covered New treatment options for hemophilia A are either coagulation factor concentrates based on innovative active principles extending half-life (EHL) or non-factor products allowing subcutaneous application with an extended half-life, so that their broader application only needs to be made every one to four weeks. Other new therapeutic options are still in clinical studies, such as the inhibition of TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) or small interfering mRNA molecule against antithrombin and gene therapy for hemophilia A.Expert opinion It can be expected that patients with hemophilia will benefit significantly from the new treatment options and that the protection against bleeding and joint damage as well as the quality of life will increase. The availability of alternatives to classical replacement therapy will require the development of treatment algorithms for patients with hemophilia. HS-10296 It is still unclear to what extent factor substitution will be challenged by the new therapies as first-line therapy.Purpose The reproductive concerns of emerging adult survivors of childhood cancer are not well described, and valid measurement tools tailored to this population are lacking. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate a modified version of the Reproductive Concerns Scale (mRCS) among male and female survivors of childhood cancer. Methods This is a secondary analysis of cross-sectional survey data collected from patients enrolled on an infertility-educational intervention study. Participants completed the mRCS at baseline. Cancer treatment data were abstracted from participant medical records. Principal component analyses were conducted to evaluate the factor structure of the mRCS for males, females, and the entire sample. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha. Open-ended responses were analyzed and used to assess the validity of relevant quantitative items on the mRCS. Results The sample consisted of N = 98 participants who were an average of 19.1 (±1.1) years of age, 45.9% were male, and 61.2% were non-Hispanic white. Factor analyses revealed three domains Fertility Concerns (Cronbach's alpha = 0.77), Health Concerns (α = 0.74), and Information Seeking (α = 0.57). Sex-specific factor analyses identified differences in scale items for males. The open-ended responses aligned well with participant scores on the Fertility Concerns subscale. Conclusion The mRCS consists of three subscales relevant to emerging adult survivors of childhood cancer. Further analysis by sex suggests that separate scales for males and females are warranted. Future research is warranted to determine the clinical utility of using the mRCS as a screening tool to identify and address reproductive concerns among emerging adult survivors.Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) entails the surgical implantation of a subcutaneous pump to deliver chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver in the setting of primary or secondary liver cancer. The purpose of HAI chemotherapy is to maximize hepatic drug concentrations while minimizing systemic toxicity, facilitating more effective treatment. HAI is used in combination with systemic chemotherapy and can be considered in several clinical scenarios, including adjuvant therapy, conversion of unresectable disease to resectable disease, and unresectable disease. Radiologists are key members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the selection and management of these patients with complex liver disease. As these devices begin to be used at more sites across the country, radiologists should become familiar with the guiding principles behind pump placement, expected imaging appearances of these devices, and potential associated complications. The authors provide an overview of HAI therapy, with a focus on the key imaging findings associated with this treatment that radiologists may encounter.
