Achieving equity in international research remains a crucial concern of the 21st century. Despite initiatives by international organisations on governance frameworks and standards to guide research conduct, such efforts remain disparate and lack focus. In an interdisciplinary collaboration between multi-level ethics bodies, policy-advisors, civil society, funders, industry and academic scholars, the TRUST project combines long-standing, highly respected efforts to establish international governance structures along with networking opportunities between Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.The goal of TRUST is to catalyse a collaborative effort to improve adherence to high ethical standards in global research. The strategic outputs of the project encompass a set of ethics tools developed through participatory engagement traversing all continents: (i) a global code of conduct for funders, (ii) a fair research contracting web-tool (iii) and a compliance and ethics follow-up tool.Since project inception in October 2015, the TRUST consortium has a) created an international network on global research ethics governance to identify generic risks of exporting non-ethical practices; b) established funder and industry platforms; c) identified typical case studies of exporting non-ethical practices and reported on lessons learnt; d) developed a global code of conduct that will be used by the European Commission and like-minded funders to foster ethical research and equitable partnerships; e) designed an online Fair Research Contracting tool to empower vulnerable populations under non-ideal conditions; and f) drafted a compliance and ethics follow-up tool, for conditions of high vulnerability.TRUST envisages to make a tremendous impact on three major issues: a) enhancing the rights of indigenous people who have borne a disproportionate burden of research whilst being potentially highly vulnerable to exploitation; b) increasing civil society engagement and improving uptake of the ethics dimension in research and innovation; and c) improving global awareness of the highest ethical standards along with clear, defined incentives for research competitiveness.

The use of homografts in ossiculoplasty has been well documented in the literature. In the early 1980s, nonossicular homograft otic capsule bone was used as a prosthetic material in stapedectomy. We began using homograft femur as a prosthetic material in the early 1990s. In this article, we report the results of a retrospective study of the use of homograft femur prostheses. A series of 300 stapedectomies was performed between Aug. 24, 1992, and Jan. 20, 2000. Total footplate removal with preservation of the posterior crus was our procedure of choice. However, in 116 of these cases, the posterior crus could not be used, and a homograft femur prosthesis was substituted. For these prostheses, all homograft femurs were obtained from the American Red Cross. All prostheses were prepared in the bone laboratory and stored in the bone bank until needed. After an adequate period of follow-up, we tabulated our results. We found that in 89 of 113 cases (78.8%) available for follow-up, the air-bone gap was completely closed. In addition, the air-bone gap was closed to within 5 dB in 11 patients (9.7%) and closed to within 10 dB in five patients (4.4%). In all, 105 of the 113 homograft femur prosthetic procedures (92.9%) resulted in a successful outcome.

Governed as it is by the very nature of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, an emergency mission is more than a mere effort to restore essential services. Although it is undoubtedly best characterized by the relief activities set in motion during the acute phase, its full scope cannot be measured without taking into account the preparatory and subsequent rehabilitation and development phases.Such a mission thus consists invariably of three stages: preliminary, in situ and follow-up.

Abstract Objectives To describe the clinical characteristics, biochemical and histological features, outcomes and predictors of prognosis of children with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) from a paediatric centre in South Africa. Methods Thirty-nine children diagnosed with AIH at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital between 2005 and 2015 were included. Relevant patient’s data were retrieved from the hospital’s medical records and database. Liver biopsy slides were reviewed. Ethical approval was obtained. Data were analysed using SPSS. Results Females were 29 (74%). Mean age at presentation was 7.27 ± 3.35 years and the mean follow-up was 4.5 ± 2.4 years. Jaundice was present in 97% of patients at presentation. An acute presentation was observed in 26 (67%) even though cirrhosis was detected in 22 (56%). Autoantibody screening was completed in 35 patients, 20 (57%) were AIH-1, 1 (3%) was AIH-2 and 14 (40%) were seronegative AIH. Of the 25 patients who underwent magnetic resonance cholangiography 17 (68%) had associated autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis. The remission rate was 79%. However, 11 children relapsed later. One child required liver transplantation and one demised. Seronegative and seropositive patients have comparable characteristics and outcomes. While a higher alanine transaminase (ALT) level at presentation is a significant predictor of remission, a lower ALT level and cirrhosis are significant risk factors for unfavourable outcome. Overall survival rate was 97%. Conclusion AIH responds well to therapy with excellent survival. Hence, it should be considered in any child presenting with viral screen negative hepatitis and start therapy timeously to prevent disease progression.

The Youth Red Cross (Palang Merah Remaja (PMR)) is a forum for fostering and developing Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI)) youth members, PMR is one of PMI's strengths in carrying out humanitarian activities in the health sector. Various health problems that may occur anywhere and anytime that have fatal consequences such as choking can cause respiratory system disorders that can lead to death. The purpose of this activity is to increase the knowledge and management of PMR members in choking management. The method of this activity is to collaborate with the teacher of the Genteng 1 Public Middle School in informing the holding of Community Service about education and training in the management of choking, then follow-up to the principal of the Genteng 1 Public Middle School. Dissemination to students involved in training events. Training for students who are accompanied by PMR advisors about education and training in the management of choking. To support the success of this event, students were allowed to practice directly to the panthom and friends. The results of this activity showed an increase in knowledge about the management of 75% of choking  with high expertise and increased ability (practice) in the control of 85% of choking with top practice ability. With this training, it is expected that all schools, especially PMR, will be able to carry out optimal handling of choking.

Resolution 1 adopted by the 26th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (Geneva, 1995) endorsed the recommendations drawn up by an intergovernmental group of experts charged with translating the Final Declaration of the International Conference for the Protection of War Victims (Geneva, August/September 1993) into proposals for “concrete and effective measures”. These recommendations are addressed primarily to the States party to the Geneva Conventions, including the depositary of those instruments. However, the ICRC, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are also urged to contribute to the effort of achieving better implementation of international humanitarian law, the main objective being to prevent violations from occurring.

All the 560 glaucomatous eyes of 375 Japanese subjects (181 men, 194 women; mean age ± standard deviation, 76.0 ± 13.2 years) who underwent microhook ab interno trabeculotomy (µLOT) alone (159 eyes, 28%) or combined µLOT and cataract surgery (401 eyes, 72%) performed by one surgeon at Matsue Red Cross Hospital between May 2015 and March 2018 to control intraocular pressure (IOP) were retrospectively assessed. Preoperative and postoperative IOPs, numbers of antiglaucoma medications, the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity (logMAR VA), anterior chamber (AC) flare, visual field mean deviation (MD), and corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) were compared up to 36 months. Surgical complications and required interventions were described. The duration of the follow-up was 405 ± 327 (range, 2–1326) days. The mean preoperative IOP (20.2 ± 7.0 mmHg) and number of antiglaucoma medications (2.8 ± 1.1) decreased to 13.9 ± 4.5 mmHg (31% reduction, p < 0.0001) and 2.5 ± 1.0 (11% reduction, p < 0.0001), respectively, at the final visit. After combined surgery, compared with preoperatively, the final VA improved 0.11 logMAR (p < 0.0001), AC flare increased 4.5 photon counts/msec (p = 0.0011), MD improved 0.6 decibel (p < 0.0001), and the CECD decreased 6% (p < 0.0001). Layered hyphema (172 eyes, 31%) and hyphema washout (26 eyes, 5%) were the most common postoperative complication and intervention, respectively. At the final visit, 379 (69%) eyes achieved successful IOP control of ≤18 mmHg and ≥20% IOP reduction, and 349 (64%) eyes achieved successful IOP control of ≤15 mmHg and ≥20% IOP reduction. Older age, steroid-induced glaucoma, developmental glaucoma, and the absence of postoperative complications were associated with lower final IOP; exfoliation glaucoma, other types of glaucoma, and higher preoperative IOP were associated with higher final IOP. µLOT has a significant IOP-lowering potential in patients with glaucoma, and improves visual function when combined with cataract surgery.
