: Nigeria is among the top five countries that have the highest gap between people reported as diagnosed and estimated to have developed tuberculosis (TB). To bridge this gap, there is a need for innovative approaches to identify geographical areas at high risk of TB transmission and targeted active case finding (ACF) interventions. Leveraging community-level data together with granular sociodemographic contextual information can unmask local hotspots that could be otherwise missed.

- Early recognition of adverse remodelling in patients with a systemic right ventricle (sRV) is crucial, as symptoms typically lead to poor outcomes; the study aims to identify prognostic markers for short-term clinical evolution in this group.
- Thirty-three patients, primarily male (76%), with histories of D-transposition or congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries underwent assessments over an average of 3 years, monitoring factors like exercise-induced cardiac performance and heart failure indicators.
- The study found that NT-proBNP was the strongest predictor of adverse outcomes, with increased left ventricle size and stroke volume during rest and exercise indicating potential early signs of sRV failure.
