Keeping Active with Texting after Stroke (KATS): a single-arm feasibility and acceptability study of a behavioural intervention to promote community-based physical activity after s... by Gozde Ozakinci, Stephan U Dombrowski, Andrew Murphy, Albert Farre, Jenna Breckenridge, Jacqui H Morris, Linda A Irvine, Keith Jenkinson

“…Effect sizes (Cohen’s d; per cent change) were demonstrated in step count (0.2; 13%), extended activities of daily living (0.24; 8.3%) and mental well-being (0.35; 7%). Participants perceived KATS as acceptable, valuing messages and motivational prompts, but personalised tailoring was desired by some.Conclusions Recruitment, retention and outcome measure completion were feasible, and KATS was perceived as acceptable. …”

Community-based HPV self-collection versus visual inspection with acetic acid in Uganda: a cost-effectiveness analysis of the ASPIRE trial by Joel Singer, Angeli Rawat, Heather Armstrong, Josaphat Byamugisha, Gina S Ogilvie, Alex K Mezei, Heather N Pedersen, Stephen Sy, Catherine Regan, Sheona M Mitchell-Foster, Musa Sekikubo, Jane J Kim, Nicole G Campos

“…The model was used to assess the cost-effectiveness of each arm of ASPIRE, as well as an HPV screen-and-treat strategy (‘HPV-ST’) involving community-based self-collected HPV testing followed by treatment for all HPV-positive women at the clinic.Outcome measures The primary outcomes were reductions in cervical cancer risk and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), expressed in dollars per year of life saved (YLS).Results HPV-ST was the most effective and cost-effective screening strategy, reducing the lifetime absolute risk of cervical cancer from 4.2% (range: 3.8%–4.7%) to 3.5% (range: 3.2%–4%), 2.8% (range: 2.4%–3.1%) and 2.4% (range: 2.1%–2.7%) with ICERs of US$130 (US$110–US$150) per YLS, US$240 (US$210–US$280) per YLS, and US$470 (US$410–US$550) per YLS when performed one, three and five times per lifetime, respectively. …”

Genome-wide identification and characterization of WRKYs family involved in responses to Cylindrocarpon destructans in Panax notoginseng by Manqiao Li, Xiaoli Che, Qiwen Liang, Kuixiu Li, Guisheng Xiang, Xuyan Liu, Yan Zhao, Fugang Wei, Shengchao Yang, Guanze Liu

“…Notably, the ectopic expression of PnWRKY35 in tobacco enhanced resistance to C. destructans, accompanied by increased levels of gibberellins (GA24, GA3, GA8), JA, SA, and brassinolide. KEGG enrichment analysis of 547 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) indicated their involvement pathways related to disease resistance, including the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes and triterpenes, JA biosynthesis, plant-pathogen interactions and the MAPK signaling pathway. …”
