    Abstract Certain species of true fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are worldwide pests of fruits and vegetables, and many countries operate trapping programs to detect and monitor invasions. Food-based traps are an important component of detection programs because they are general attractants that are neither sex- nor species-specific. Torula yeast borax solution is a food bait that is used widely, but little is known regarding its attractiveness in terms of distant-dependent capture rates in field settings. The goal of the present study, which was conducted in a Hawaiian mango (Mangifera indica L.; Anacardiaceae) orchard, was to measure capture probabilities of oriental fruit flies, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), and Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), released at 5, 10, or 20 m from a centrally located trap baited with torula yeast borax solution. For both species, capture probabilities were relatively low and decreased with increasing release distance from the trap. Trap captures were female-biased strongly in B. dorsalis, while the sex ratio of captured C. capitata was more variable and differed among the release distances. Based on data pooled over the sexes, B. dorsalis was captured at significantly higher rates than C. capitata for release distances of 5 and 10 m, and a marginally significantly higher rate (P = 0.053) for the 20 m releases. These findings are compared with other release-recapture studies of tephritids that involved food baits, and the relative attractiveness of torula yeast borax solution and male lures are noted for B. dorsalis and C. capitata.

    Abstract Background: There is an emerging role for minimally invasive magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) in the treatment of pediatric epilepsy refractory to medication. To date, predictors of MRgLITT success have not been established in a sizeable singular experience. Correspondingly the aim of this study was to elucidate if previous surgical history predicts MRgLITT success in this setting.
    Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of our MRgLITT procedures for pediatric (aged <19 years) epilepsy from 2011-2020 with documented seizure outcomes at 1- and 2-years after procedure. Categorical and continuous data were compared using Chi-squared and student's t-test respectively.
    Results: A total of 41 patients satisfied all criteria with 16 (39%) females and 25 (61%) males. Following MRgLITT, seizure-freedom at 1-year was achieved in 15 (37%) patients. In the cohort, there were 14 (34%) patients who had undergone previous open surgery for epilepsy at mean age of 9.4 ± 5.5 years. Patients with a previous open surgery history were found to statistically experience longer length of hospitalization after MRgLITT (P=0.04) with a statistically lower proportion of seizure-freedom at 1-year after MRgLITT (14% vs 48%, P=0.03). However, there was no difference in the rate of seizure-freedom at 2-years (29% vs 41%, P=0.44), as well as no difference in subsequent surgical interventions for seizure management between groups.
    Conclusions: Based on our institutional experience, patients with previous open surgery history may experience longer length of hospitalization after MRgLITT for pediatric epilepsy and lesser response in seizure-freedom within the first year but with non-inferior seizure-freedom by the second year.

    Abstract Knowledge co-production can improve the quality and accessibility of health, and also benefit service users, allowing them to be recognised as skilled and capable. Yet despite these clear benefits, there are inherent challenges in the power relations of co-production, particularly when experts by experience (EBE) are structurally disadvantaged in communication skills or literacy. The processes of how knowledge is co-produced and negotiated are seldom described. This paper aims to describe processes of co-production building on the experiences of EBE (people with lived experience of psychosocial or physical disability), practitioners and researchers working together with a non-profit community mental health programme in North India. We describe processes of group formation, relationship building, reflexive discussion and negotiation over a 7-year period with six diverse EBE groups. Through a process of discussion and review, we propose these five questions which may optimise co-production processes in communities: (1) Who is included in co-production? (2) How can we optimise participation by people with diverse sociodemographic identities? (3) How do we build relationships of trust within EBE groups? (4) How can we combine psychosocial support and knowledge co-production agendas in groups? and (5) How is the expertise of experts by experience acknowledged?

    Abstract Background: Cancer is growing concern for every country. Reliable data is a source to define the magnitude of the problem, which then helps to plan for necessary action. This epidemiological study involves the collection and analysis of hospital registry data to assess the quantum of the problem of cancer over a five-year period from 2012-16 and to plan priority action.
    Materials and methods: Hospital-based data for five years from 2012-2016 was retrieved from the department of radiotherapy at M. P. Shah Government Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India, and analysed to define the magnitude of the problem. All data was studied using Microsoft Excel 2016.
    Results: A total of 7355 patients were registered between 2012 and 2016, out of which 62 percent were male. Cancers of the cervix and uterus were discernibly less common in the Saurashtra region and accounted for only 12.37% of all cancers in females. Lung cancer was the leading cancer as a single site in males (24.13% of all cancers in males) and breast cancer in females (37.36% of all cancers in females). Head and neck cancer, all sites clubbed, was most common in males (42%). Jamnagar taluka represented around 50% of all cases at the study center.
    Conclusion: Tobacco-related cancers were most common in the male population, and stringent implementation of a national tobacco control program is the most appropriate measure to curtail incidences and hence mortality in this male population. Non-modifiable risk factors like gender-related cancer were more common in the female population, and resource-appropriate screening is a suitable option for these diseases. A population-based cancer registry is required to further define the pattern pertinently, or an epidemiological study is required to find causes of the noticeably lower incidence of cancer of the cervix,.

    Abstract Introduction: Although women's health is prioritised in global research, few studies have identified structural barriers and strategies to promote female leadership and gender equality in the global health research workforce, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.
    Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate gender equality in the mental health research workforce in Nepal. The scoping review assessed gender disparities in authorship of journal publications for Nepal mental health research, using databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, NepJol, NepMed) for 5 years. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 Nepali researchers to identify structural barriers limiting women's leadership.
    Results: Of 337 articles identified, 61% were by Nepali first authors. Among Nepali first authors, 38.3% were women. Nepali women had half the odds of being first authors compared with men, when referenced against non-Nepali authors (OR 0.50, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.16). When limiting publications to those based on funded research, the odds were worse for first authorship among Nepali women (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.71). The qualitative analysis supported the scoping review and identified a lack of gender-friendly organisational policies, difficulties in communication and mobility, and limited opportunities for networking as barriers to women's leadership in global health research.
    Conclusion: Efforts are needed for greater representation of Nepali women in global mental health research, which will require transformative organisational policies to foster female leadership. Those in leadership need to recognise gender inequalities and take necessary steps to address them. Funding agencies should prioritise supporting organisations with gender equality task forces, policies and indicators.

    Abstract Multifocal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is very rare and usually regional. We report three cases that initially appeared to be multifocal, but subsequent detailed imaging revealed unsuspected tracking along nerves in two cases. This neural spread is reminiscent of neuromuscular choristoma (NMC), a rare developmental lesion in which mature skeletal muscle cells, or rarely smooth muscle cells, infiltrate and enlarge peripheral nerves. NMC is frequently associated with DTF. These two cases suggest that DTF spread along nerves and appeared as distinct multifocal lesions while actually being contiguous. The third case was felt to represent true multifocal tumor development, possibly due to tumor seeding at the time of chest surgery. The relationship of DTF to NMC is discussed.
