title: Breast lesions and cancer: histopathology and molecular classification in a referral hospital in Ghana

description: <b>Background</b>: Histological diagnosis is crucial to the management of breast diseases. It determines the kind of disease, the treatment modalities, and the outcome of management. Our department receives breast biopsies from the northern sector of Ghana constituting over 50% of the Ghanaian population. This study aimed at elucidating the pattern of disease and associated traditional prognostic indices of breast cases in our department over a period of 9 years. <b>Methods</b>: Information on the demographic characteristics and the histological diagnoses made on all breast cases received and processed in the department were accessed and entered into an Excel spreadsheet. Slides were reviewed and IHC was done on suitable cases. Descriptive statistics were generated using IMB-SPSS version 23. <b>Results</b>: A total of 4276 breast cases were received by the department within the study period, with 97.6% being female. Age ranged (female/male) from 10 to 98/13 to 102 years, with mean ages of 38.2 years (SD ± 16.7) and 41.15 years (SD ± 21.6), respectively. Cases were evenly distributed in both left and right breasts and 4.3% were bilateral. Inflammatory conditions were seen in 7.5% of cases. The most diagnosed benign tumor was fibroadenoma (54%), followed by fibrocystic change (8.1%). Gynecomastia was diagnosed in 66.3% of males. Malignant cases were 38.6%, with invasive carcinoma NST being the most frequent (87.5%). Histological grades were I = 9.4%, II = 41.6%, and III = 49%. Molecular subtypes were luminal A (19.8%), luminal B (9.9%), Her2 (16%), and TNBC (54.3%). <b>Conclusion</b>: Our findings show an increase in breast cancer cases compared to previous studies in our center, suggesting increased awareness and improved diagnosis. However, this increase is consistent with most studies in sub-Saharan Africa.

title: The characterisation data of selected ZnO and TiO2 particles

description: Physiochemical properties play an important role in the biological activity of nanoparticles, especially when assessing nanotoxicity. Nanoparticles have unique properties due to their surface area, shape, size, and structure, hence they can be expected to have different toxicities when compared to conventional size materials. Therefore, in order to provide a better understanding of the toxicity of ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles, the particle size distribution, crystalline structure, composition, and surface area have been studied. The aim of this study was to characterise and compare the physicochemical properties of sunscreen particles and further determine the potential impact they have on overall toxicity.

title: Elements of Cancer Care (EoCC)

description: EoCC is a study of non small cell lung, colorectal and breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy in 12 treatment facilities in NSW. Two cohorts of patients were recruited. The first cohort of 310 patients were recruited from January to November in 2009 and the second cohort of 189 patients from April to October in 2010. Treatment, resource utilisation and demographic data were collected using medical record reviews and interviews with patients. Patients also consented to person-level linkage of their secondary health data: cancer notifications, pharmaceutical dispensing records, medical services claims, hospital separations, emergency department visits, death registrations. Originating source(s): 12 treatment facilities/hospitals: Albury, Griffith, The Mater, North Shore Private, Prince of Wales, Riverina, Southern Medical Day Care, St George Public, St George Private, St Vincents Hospital Darlinghurst, Sutherland, Wollongong Public.

title: Size-fractionated chlorophyll from the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO), ongoing since 2003 (NES-LTER since 2017)

description: Size-fractionated chlorophyll a and phaeopigments are measured from water column bottle and bucket samples taken on Northeast U.S. Shelf Long-Term Ecological Research (NES-LTER) day cruises in the vicinity of the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO), as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass. Sampling frequency near MVCO is approximately monthly, ongoing since 2003. Size fractions in addition to whole seawater (&gt;0.7 micron) include &lt;10 and &lt;80 microns. Pigments were analyzed using fluorometers in which fluorescence was measured versus a blank and a standard, and final concentrations were calculated in micrograms per liter (or mg per cubic meter).

title: Data and Code for: Housing Lock: Dutch Evidence on the Impact of Negative Home Equity on Household Mobility

description: This paper employs Dutch administrative population data to test the “housing lock hypothesis”: the conjecture that homeowners with negative home equity, low levels of financial assets and restricted opportunities to borrow reduce their mobility. Variation in home equity driven by the timing of home purchase within a municipality and the harshness of Dutch recourse laws facilitates identification of housing lock effects. The 2SLS estimate for the effect of negative home equity is a 74-79% decline in mobility, where effects are substantially larger for households with low financial asset holdings or moves over longer distances.

title: Data and Code for: Checking and Sharing Alt-Facts

description: Using an online randomized experiment in the context of the 2019 European elections campaign in France, we study how fact-checking affects sharing of false news on social media. We exposed a random sample of French voting-age Facebook users to statements on the role of the European Union made by the far-right populist party Rassemblement National. A randomly selected subgroup of participants was also presented with fact-checking of these statements; another subgroup was offered a choice whether to view the fact-checking information. Then, all participants could choose whether to share the false statements on their Facebook pages. We show that (i) both imposed and voluntary fact-checking reduce sharing of false statements by about 45%; (ii) the size of the effect is similar between imposed and voluntary fact-checking; and (iii) each additional click required to share false statements substantially reduces sharing. These results inform the debate about policy proposals aimed at limiting propagation of false news on social media.<br><br>

title: Data and Code for: Political Parties Do Matter in U.S. Cities ... For Their Unfunded Pensions

description: This paper studies public-sector pension obligations, the biggest fiscal challenge currently facing many U.S. cities. Employing a regression discontinuity design around close elections, benefit payments out of a city's public-sector pensions are shown to grow faster under Democratic-party mayors, while contributions into the pensions do not. Previous research showed that parties do not matter for a wide range of cities' fiscal expenditures, and explained this with voters imposing fiscal discipline. This paper replicates previous results, but shows that parties can matter for shrouded expenditure types that voters do not pay attention to, especially if they benefit well-organized interest groups.<br>

title: Code for: Human Trafficking and Regulating Prostitution

description: Code accompanying article with the following abstract: Certain markets are illicit because part of the supply is coerced, but little is known about the optimal regulation of such markets. We model a prostitution market with voluntary and coerced prostitutes and askwhat regulation can restore the benchmark outcome that would arise under laissez-faire absent coercion. Whereas current policies -- decriminalization, criminalization of the buy or sell sides, and licensing -- are ineffective against trafficking or harm voluntary suppliers, we show that an alternative policy can restore the benchmark outcome. Our results are relevant to the ongoing debate about decriminalizing prostitution and provide guidance for empirical work on prostitution regulation.<br>

title: The use and impact of trastuzumab (Herceptin) for early and late stage HER-2 positive breast cancer in Australia

description: This project was established to conduct a long-term evaluation of the way in which trastuzumab (Herceptin) is used to treat early and late stage breast cancer in the real world clinical setting. Secondary health data sets were linked to examine all patients receiving trastuzumab since the inception of the Herceptin Program (for late stage disease) in December 2001 and since its listing on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for early stage disease in October 2006. The data linkages have been set up in such a way that it is possible to track individuals receiving PBS-subsidised trastuzumab for early stage disease and upon disease progression patients receiving the drug via the Herceptin Program for metastatic disease. Data access and linkage was facilitated by Medicare Australia, the administering body of both programs. The study currently has approval for annual data updates until 2015.

title: Data and Code for: Does Virtual Advising Increase College Enrollment? Evidence from a Random Assignment College Access Field Experiment

description: Although in-person college access programs can be effective, less is known about whether low-cost and scalable virtual interventions can achieve the same benefits. We evaluate two variants of a virtual college counseling program. Students randomly assigned to the program felt more supported applying to college and applied more broadly to four-year colleges, but were not more likely to be accepted or enroll. We analyze rich and extensive survey data to explore mechanisms and why the program did not improve college enrollment. We conclude that low-intensity programs may work for some students, but many probably need in-person and intensive help.

title: Data and Code for: Out of the Woodwork: Enrollment Spillovers in the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment

description: We analyze the impact of expanded adult Medicaid eligibility on the Medicaid enrollment of already-eligible children. To do so, we exploit the 2008 Oregon Medicaid lottery, in which some low-income uninsured adults were randomly selected for the chance to apply for Medicaid. Children in these households were eligible for Medicaid irrespective of whether the household won the lottery. We estimate statistically significant but transitory impacts of adult lottery selection on children’s Medicaid enrollment: for every 9 adults who enroll in Medicaid due to the lottery, one additional child also enrolls at the same time. Our results shed light on the existence, magnitude, and nature of so-called “woodwork effects”.<br>
