Article Synopsis
- There are two main modes of retrieving episodic autobiographical memories (EAMs): direct and generative, which differ based on the specificity of the memory cues used to elicit them.
- A literature review and advanced analysis of 32 neuroimaging studies reveal overlapping brain activations for both retrieval modes, particularly in regions linked to self-referential processes, suggesting a neural basis for accessing personal memories.
- The study highlights distinct differences in brain activation patterns between direct and generative retrieval, with the ventromedial prefrontal cortex associated with the more constructive nature of generative memory retrieval.
Purpose: Population-based prevalence surveys are essential for decision-making on interventions to achieve trachoma elimination as a public health problem. This paper outlines the methodologies of Tropical Data, which supports work to undertake those surveys.
Methods: Tropical Data is a consortium of partners that supports health ministries worldwide to conduct globally standardised prevalence surveys that conform to World Health Organization recommendations.
Article Synopsis
- Trachomatous trichiasis (TT) is a painful eye problem that can cause blindness, and women are affected more than men.
- Researchers studied data from 20 African countries to see how men and women are treated for TT and if there are differences.
- The results showed that women are more likely to have complications after surgery and are more likely to refuse surgery, suggesting there are some gender differences in how TT is managed.
Lessons learned in the implementation of programmes to eliminate trachoma within conflict zones.

Background: Global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem was targeted for 2020. We reviewed progress towards the elimination of active trachoma by country and geographical group.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis of national survey and implementation data, all countries ever known to be endemic for trachoma that had either implemented at least one trachoma impact survey shown in the publicly available Trachoma Atlas, or are in Africa were invited to participate in this study.
