Safe recovery after cesarean in rural Africa: Technical consensus guidelines for post-discharge care.

Despite increasing cesarean rates in Africa, there remain extensive gaps in the standard provision of care after cesarean birth. We present recommendations for discharge instructions to be provided to women following cesarean delivery in Rwanda, particularly rural Rwanda, and with consideration of adaptable guidelines for sub-Saharan Africa, to support recovery during the postpartum period. These guidelines were developed by a Technical Advisory Group comprised of clinical, program, policy, and research experts with extensive knowledge of cesarean care in Africa. The final instructions delineate between normal and abnormal recovery symptoms and advise when to seek care. The instructions align with global postpartum care guidelines, with additional emphasis on care practices more common in the region and address barriers that women delivering via cesarean may encounter in Africa. The recommended timeline of postpartum visits and visit activities reflect the World Health Organization protocols and provide additional activities to support women who give birth via cesarean. These guidelines aim to standardize communication with women at the time of discharge after cesarean birth in Africa, with the goal of improved confidence and clinical outcomes among these individuals.

Abstract 1903: GenePattern Notebook: An integrative analytical environment for cancer research

Abstract As the availability of genomic data and analysis tools from large-scale cancer initiatives continues to increase, with single-cell studies adding new dimensions to the potential scientific insights, the need has become more urgent for a software environment that supports the rapid pace of cancer data science. The electronic analysis notebook has recently emerged as a versatile tool for this purpose, allowing scientists to combine the scientific exposition with the code that runs the analysis, creating a single “research narrative” document. The Jupyter Notebook system has become the de facto standard notebook environment in data science and genomic analysis. However, the Jupyter environment requires familiarity with programming to run analyses, and even text must be formatted using a programming-style language.To extend notebook capabilities to researchers at all levels of programming expertise, we developed the GenePattern Notebook environment, which integrates Jupyter with the hundreds of genomic tools available through the GenePattern platform. This tool allows scientists to develop, share, collaborate on, and publish their notebooks, requiring only a web browser. Investigators can design their in-silico experiments, refine workflows, launch compute-intensive analyses on cloud-based and high-performance compute resources, and publish results that others can adopt to reproduce the original analyses and modify for their own work.GenePattern Notebook provides: (1) Access to a wide range of genomic analyses within a notebook. Hundreds of analyses are available, from machine learning techniques such as clustering, classification, and dimension reduction, to omic-specific methods for gene expression analysis, proteomics, flow cytometry, sequence variation analysis, pathway analysis, and others. (2) A library of featured genomic analysis notebooks, including templates for common analysis tasks as well as cancer-specific research scenarios and compute-intensive methods. Scientists can easily copy these notebooks, use them as is, or adapt them for their research purposes. To support the growing role of single-cell analysis, we have recently released single-cell RNA-seq preprocessing, cluster harmonization, pseudotime, and RNA velocity notebooks. (3) Notebook enhancements. A rich text editor allows scientists to format text as they would in a word processor. A user interface-building tool allows notebook developers to wrap code so it is displayed as a web form, with only the necessary inputs exposed. (4) Publication and collaborative editing. Authors can publish their notebooks, where they are then made available on the community section of the notebook workspace, where other scientists may copy, run, and edit their own version.The GenePattern Notebook environment is freely available at http://genepattern-notebook.org.

No-Code Platform-Based Deep-Learning Models for Prediction of Colorectal Polyp Histology from White-Light Endoscopy Images: Development and Performance Verification.

Background: The authors previously developed deep-learning models for the prediction of colorectal polyp histology (advanced colorectal cancer, early cancer/high-grade dysplasia, tubular adenoma with or without low-grade dysplasia, or non-neoplasm) from endoscopic images. While the model achieved 67.3% internal-test accuracy and 79.2% external-test accuracy, model development was labour-intensive and required specialised programming expertise. Moreover, the 240-image external-test dataset included only three advanced and eight early cancers, so it was difficult to generalise model performance. These limitations may be mitigated by deep-learning models developed using no-code platforms. Objective: To establish no-code platform-based deep-learning models for the prediction of colorectal polyp histology from white-light endoscopy images and compare their diagnostic performance with traditional models. Methods: The same 3828 endoscopic images used to establish previous models were used to establish new models based on no-code platforms Neuro-T, VLAD, and Create ML-Image Classifier. A prospective multicentre validation study was then conducted using 3818 novel images. The primary outcome was the accuracy of four-category prediction. Results: The model established using Neuro-T achieved the highest internal-test accuracy (75.3%, 95% confidence interval: 71.0–79.6%) and external-test accuracy (80.2%, 76.9–83.5%) but required the longest training time. In contrast, the model established using Create ML-Image Classifier required only 3 min for training and still achieved 72.7% (70.8–74.6%) external-test accuracy. Attention map analysis revealed that the imaging features used by the no-code deep-learning models were similar to those used by endoscopists during visual inspection. Conclusion: No-code deep-learning tools allow for the rapid development of models with high accuracy for predicting colorectal polyp histology.

Ethical evaluation of strategic plan for HIV prevention and control: Steps to minimize discrimination and health equity (A case study in Iran)

Evidence shows that to achieve HIV Strategic Plan's goals and health equity, ethical and legal issues of the National HIV Programmes need to be addressed. Thus, this study aimed to conduct ethical evaluation of the Iran's 4th National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV/AIDS prevention and control (2015–2019). In this qualitative study, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to collect necessary data through applying a framework for ethical evaluation of public health programmes which was designed by Akrami et al. (2018). After obtaining official permissions, two FGDs with participation of HIV programme experts and representatives from partner organizations were separately organized to evaluate the NSP. The ethical evaluation of the 4th NSP showed that the programme priorities have been set based on epidemiological evidence, and objectives, strategies and expected results have been separately set for general and key populations. Despite existence of related national guidelines, they have not been referred to and some of the risks such as breaching confidentiality leading to stigma and discrimination have not been clearly addressed that could affect the programme effectiveness. Universal access, capacity building, inter-sectoral collaboration and community participation were among points of strength. The procedural evaluation showed that despite participation of the programme partner organizations, public justification was not included in the NSP. Ethical evaluation of the 4thNSP shows that the programme is acceptable to be implemented with some refinements. It is required to address some ethical and legal issues and also to adopt administrative health laws to prohibit stigma and discrimination.
