Women from sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, are underrepresented in biomedical research due in part to limited access to high-quality research training and mentorship. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in Ethiopia, with a limited number of female Ethiopian scientists engaged in TB-related research. To improve access to TB-related research training among junior women scientists, our NIH Fogarty International Center-funded D43 program released an all-women request for applications (RFA), which substantially increased the number of women applying for research training and the number of women trained in our program.

- * Out of 1,032 participants, 3.3% died during treatment and 8.7% after, with a median death time of 21 months post-TB treatment, particularly within the first 3 years.
- * Those with HIV co-infection had a significantly higher risk of post-TB mortality (almost four times higher) compared to those without HIV, highlighting the need for better care for TB patients with comorbidities.
Article Synopsis
- * Neuroimaging studies, particularly using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have identified early brain differences in individuals with BD and those at high risk, which can help pinpoint the developmental processes associated with the disorder.
- * The research suggests that disruptions in specific brain regions, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, are linked to various symptoms of BD, and understanding these changes could pave the way for better treatment and prevention strategies.
