Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis is becoming more common in Latin America, partly because more people are going to prison, with the number almost quadrupling since 1990.
- A study looked at how this rise in incarceration has helped spread tuberculosis and found that it caused a lot more cases than expected.
- If countries reduce the number of people admitted to prison and the time they spend there, it could help lower tuberculosis cases by more than 10% by 2034.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined whether Mas-receptor activation by BIO101 could help balance the Renin-Angiotensin System and reduce severe respiratory issues in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
- It was a double-blind, randomized trial involving 238 participants, with findings showing a 11.4% lower rate of respiratory failure or early death in the BIO101 group compared to placebo.
- Results suggest BIO101 may reduce the risk of severe outcomes in COVID-19 patients, although further research is needed due to the low sample size.
