It is the most common cancer among women living with HIV (WLWH) and is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women in East Africa, with 10,241 new cases reported in Tanzania in 2020. In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) present...

INTRODUCTION: The neuroregenerative effects of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in animal models of perinatal brain damage are presumed to rely on secreted factors including MSC-derived exosomes. Thus, the aim of this study is the evaluation of the oligodendroglial fate specification capacity of human Wharton’s jelly-derived MSC (WJ-MSC) o...

Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) insult in the perinatal phase harbors a high risk of encephalopathy in the neonate. Brain cells undergo apoptosis, initiating neurodegeneration. So far, therapeutic approaches such as cooling remain limited. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibits therapeutic success despite the short-time survival in the hos...

OBJECTIVE: We have previously shown that the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in animal models of perinatal brain damage has neuro-regenerative effects in spite of low long-term survival in host tissue. Thus, the therapeutic effect of MSC may be due to secreted factors including MSC-derived exosomes. The aim of this study is the char...

On May 26th, the World Health Organization (WHO) Executive Board (EB) unanimously passed the agenda item, ‘Strengthening Emergency and Essential Surgical Care and Anaesthesia as a Component of Universal Health Coverage’ for a resolution at the 68th World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2015. Over 30 Member States and six NGOs, the Assistant Director G...

Introduction - Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) currently represents the standard of care in early-phase axilla staging of breast cancer patients. To identify sentinel node, different techniques can be used. The most common method is based upon the use of radioactive colloid (99mTc-NanoColloid, NC) as a direct guidance on the operation field.
