    Abstract Health education can elevate health literacy, which is associated with health knowledge, health-seeking behaviors and overall improved health outcomes. Refugees are particularly vulnerable to the effects of low health knowledge and literacy, which can exacerbate already poor health stemming from their displacement experience. Traditional learning methods including classroom-based instruction are typically how health-related information is presented to refugees. Through a series of interactive classes focused on specific health topics relevant to the resettled refugee population, this study evaluated the effectiveness of a classroom-based health education model in enhancing the health knowledge of recently resettled refugees. We used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate differences in pre- and post-class knowledge through test performance. We found a significant improvement in health knowledge in two refugee groups: females and those who were employed. Culturally and socially sensitive considerations including language inclusiveness, class timing, transportation and childcare provisions are important when creating an educational program for individuals with refugee backgrounds. Developing focused approaches to instruction that enhance health knowledge could lead to better health literacy and ultimately improve health-related behaviors and outcomes in the refugee population.

    Abstract Lobular neoplasia has been traditionally recognized as a marker of increased risk for subsequent breast carcinoma development; however, molecular studies suggest that it also behaves in a non-obligate precursor manner. We do not know, as yet, how to identify the subgroup of cases that is most likely to progress, but the epidemiological data would indicate that this progression occurs after a long period of time. Thus, the current approach of conservative management of these lesions when identified in excision specimens is justified. Recently, several variants of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), most notably pleomorphic LCIS, have been recognized and these can be difficult to differentiate from ductal carcinoma in situ. Application of strict diagnostic criteria and the judicial use of immunohistochemistry, particularly E-cadherin, can be helpful in this differential diagnosis. Another challenging issue is the management of lobular neoplasia when diagnosed on core biopsy. This controversial issue will be discussed in detail. The goals of this review are (1) to describe the morphological criteria used to diagnose the spectrum of lobular neoplastic lesions, including atypical lobular hyperplasia, LCIS and variants of LCIS; (2) to discuss the data exploring the biological potential of lobular neoplasia from an epidemiological and molecular viewpoint; and (3) to outline the recommendations for management of lobular neoplasia when encountered in core biopsies.

    Abstract Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with significant mortality. Surgical embolectomy is a viable treatment option; however, it remains controversial as a result of variable outcomes. This review investigates patient outcomes after surgical embolectomy for acute PE.
    Methods: An electronic search was performed to identify articles reporting surgical embolectomy for treatment of PE. 32 studies were included comprising 936 patients. Demographic, perioperative, and outcome data were extracted and pooled for systematic review.
    Results: Mean patient age was 56.3 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 52.5, 60.1), and 50% were male (95% CI, 46, 55); 82% had right ventricular dysfunction (95% CI, 62, 93), 80% (95% CI, 67, 89) had unstable hemodynamics, and 9% (95% CI, 5, 16) experienced cardiac arrest. Massive PE and submassive PE were present in 83% (95% CI, 43, 97)] and 13% (95% CI, 2, 56) of patients, respectively. Before embolectomy, 33% of patients (95% CI, 14, 60) underwent systemic thrombolysis, and 14% (95% CI, 8, 24) underwent catheter embolectomy. Preoperatively, 47% of patients were ventilated (95% CI, 26; 70), and 36% had percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (95% CI, 11, 71). Mean operative time and mean cardiopulmonary bypass time were 170 minutes (95% CI, 101, 239) and 56 minutes (95% CI, 42, 70), respectively. Intraoperative mortality was 4% (95% CI, 2, 8). Mean hospital and intensive care unit stay were 10 days (95% CI, 6, 14) and 2 days (95% CI, 1, 3), respectively. Mean postoperative systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) was significantly decreased from the preoperative period (sPAP 57.8, mm Hg; 95% CI, 53, 62.7) to the postoperative period (sPAP, 31.3 mm Hg; 24.9, 37.8); P < .01). In-hospital mortality was 16% (95% CI, 12, 21). Overall survival at 5 years was 73% (95% CI, 64, 81).
    Conclusions: Surgical embolectomy is an acceptable treatment option with favorable outcomes.

    Abstract The presence of atypical or usual epithelial proliferations within papillary breast lesions complicates their interpretation on core biopsy. We evaluated the combination of estrogen receptor (ER) and cytokeratin 5 (CK5) as an aid in the distinction of usual duct hyperplasia from atypical proliferations in this setting. Core biopsies from 185 papillary lesions were reviewed and of these, 82 cases were selected for immunohistochemical study based on the presence of an epithelial proliferation between the fibrovascular cores. Fifty-two cases were used as the test set and 30 cases, with subsequent surgical excision, were used as the validation set. The epithelial proliferation was evaluated for staining intensity and percentage of positive cells using CK5 and ER. Expression of both CK5 and ER was significantly different in nonatypical lesions when compared with atypical lesions (P<0.0001). Nonatypical lesions typically showed an ER-low/CK5-high profile and atypical lesions showed an ER-high/CK5-low profile with ER-high expression defined as diffuse strong staining in >90% of cells. CK5-high expression was defined as a mosaic pattern of staining in >20% of cells and CK5-low as absent or staining in <20% of cells. On the basis of their staining profile, 29 of the 30 validation cases were correctly classified using the excision specimen as the gold standard. Patterns and extent of ER and CK5 staining, when used together, are valuable adjunct stains to differentiate usual duct hyperplasia from atypical proliferations within papillary lesions on core biopsy.

    Abstract Introduction: Understanding human mobility's role in malaria transmission is critical to successful control and elimination. However, common approaches to measuring mobility are ill-equipped for remote regions such as the Amazon. This study develops a network survey to quantify the effect of community connectivity and mobility on malaria transmission.
    Methods: We measure community connectivity across the study area using a respondent driven sampling design among key informants who are at least 18 years of age. 45 initial communities will be selected: 10 in Brazil, 10 in Ecuador and 25 in Peru. Participants will be recruited in each initial node and administered a survey to obtain data on each community's mobility patterns. Survey responses will be ranked and the 2-3 most connected communities will then be selected and surveyed. This process will be repeated for a third round of data collection. Community network matrices will be linked with each country's malaria surveillance system to test the effects of mobility on disease risk.
    Ethics and dissemination: This study protocol has been approved by the institutional review boards of Duke University (USA), Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador), Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (Peru) and Universidade Federal Minas Gerais (Brazil). Results will be disseminated in communities by the end of the study.

    Abstract Cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor's transcriptional output. However, the feed-forward mechanisms that shape cell-type-specific transcriptional fulcrums for steroid receptors are unidentified. Herein, we found that a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors regulates the differential effect of GREB1 on steroid hormones in a physiological or pathological context. In physiological (receptive) endometrium, GREB1 controls P4-responses in uterine stroma, affecting endometrial receptivity and decidualization, while not affecting E2-mediated epithelial proliferation. Of mechanism, progesterone-induced GREB1 physically interacts with the progesterone receptor, acting as a cofactor in a positive feedback mechanism to regulate P4-responsive genes. Conversely, in endometrial pathology (endometriosis), E2-induced GREB1 modulates E2-dependent gene expression to promote the growth of endometriotic lesions in mice. This differential action of GREB1 exerted by a common feed-forward mechanism with steroid receptors advances our understanding of mechanisms that underlie cell- and tissue-specific steroid hormone actions.
