Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally and in Sub-Saharan Africa in particular. There is evidence that early detection and early management of cases are the best strategies to prevent and control this health threat, since treatment of the later stages of the diseases are very expensive. The objectives of the review were: (1) to identify and review studies on the prevalence of cervical cancer and determinants of early detection in Sub-Saharan Africa, and (2) to recommend further studies and interventions based on the findings of this review. Extensive literature search was conducted using the MeSH terms. Articles on cervical cancer and/or determinants of early detection which fulfilled inclusion criteria were reviewed independently by three reviewers. The prevalence of cervical cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasing. Although there are evidences that cervical cancer screening programs are practical and feasible even in resource-limited settings in Sub-Saharan Africa, there is a very low uptake of cervical cancer screening and there are key factors that need to be addressed in order to make these programs established and effective.

Early Management

BackgroundThis was part of the Southern Derby shire CCG AKI awareness and improved management in primary and secondary care. The programme involved educating the primary care staff (GPs nurses) about AKI, identifying and early management in at risk groups. The secondary care aspect involved protocol development for AKI risk/identification to reduce morbidity.AimAs two-thirds of AKI originates in the community we aimed to increase awareness and knowledge levels of AKI in primary care via a CCG wide education programme. This included nephrology a peer review audit of cases with an evaluation of the programme’s acceptability and impact.MethodOver a 12month period, peer review audit sessions were delivered to GPs and the primary care MDT. These sessions consisted of a short presentation by a consultant nephrologist followed by discussion of cases. Qualitative feedback was collected from all participants. Web-based, CCG-wide questionnaires incorporating factual and clinical questions were used to assess baseline and post-intervention knowledge level.Results93% of participants (94 responses) found the peer review audit sessions useful, particularly the presence of nephrologist. 45% of participants were anxious about group discussion of cases, although 36% thought they were the most useful component of the sessions. Formal presentations were ranked as the most popular format of receiving education. 996 individuals completed the questionnaires. At baseline 61% were GPs, 27% practice nurses and 8% Advanced Practitioners, with similar proportions at 1yr. Exposure to AKI teaching, self-reported awareness and confidence levels were higher in the second questionnaire and there was a significant improvement in test scores.ConclusionPrimary care education can improve knowledge and awareness of AKI. Small group teaching with involvement of a nephrologist was popular. These results suggest that there is a need to tailor education styles to individual preferences, and peer review audit may not be universally acceptable in primary care.

AbstractEarly management of sepsis and septic shock is crucial for patients’ prognosis. As the Emergency Department (ED) is the place where the first medical contact for septic patients is likely to occur, emergency physicians play an essential role in the early phases of patient management, which consists of accurate initial diagnosis, resuscitation, and early antibiotic treatment. Since the issuing of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines in 2016, several studies have been published on different aspects of sepsis management, adding a substantial amount of new information on the pathophysiology and treatment of sepsis and septic shock. In light of this emerging evidence, the present narrative review provides a comprehensive account of the recent advances in septic patient management in the ED.
