Nutritionally acquired immunodeficiency must be addressed with the same urgency as HIV to end tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious killer worldwide, with 10.6 million cases and 1.6 million deaths in 2021 alone.

Accessibility and TB patient satisfaction in Nigeria.

Nigeria ranks first in Africa and sixth among countries with a high Tuberculosis burden globally. The increasing incidence of drug resistance following poor treatment adherence among drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) patients necessitates reviewing TB services in Nigeria. This study explored accessibility and patient-reported experiences in newly established TB treatment facilities.

Clearing the air: microcosting the carbon impact of drug-susceptible pulmonary TB treatment.

More than 10 million individuals develop active TB each year. The diagnosis and treatment of TB create greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. This study estimates the carbon footprint (CF) of successfully treating one person with drug-susceptible pulmonary TB (DS-PTB) in India.

A Novel Stem Cell Model to Study Preeclampsia Endothelial Dysfunction.

Preeclampsia is a common pregnancy complication affecting 5% to 7% of all pregnancies worldwide annually. While the pathogenesis is not fully understood, maternal endothelium dysfunction is thought to be a central component to preeclampsia development. Studies to dissect maternal endothelial dysfunction, particularly on a patient-specific basis, are hampered by limited access to systemic primary endothelial cells (ECs).

A protocol for the longitudinal investigation of cancer related fatigue in head and neck cancer with an emphasis on the role of physical activity.

Background And Aim: Cancer related fatigue significantly impairs the ability to undertake sustained physical activity across the domains of daily living, work and recreation. The purpose of this study is to monitor cancer related fatigue and the factors affected or caused by it for 12 months in head and neck cancer patients following their diagnosis. Their perceptions of how fatigue might affect their activity levels in addition to identifying avenues to improve engagement with physical activity will be also explored.
