The behaviour of TB patients in East Lombok through a health belief model approach.
J Health Popul Nutr
January 2025
Department of Pharmacy, Institut Teknologi Sumatera, Lampung, Indonesia.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem, including in Indonesia, with East Lombok as a high prevalence region. Although control programmes have been implemented, TB cases remain high. Patient behaviours that are less supportive of treatment, such as non-compliance and social stigma, pose a challenge to TB control efforts in this area.

Department of Statistics, University of South Africa, c/o Christiaan de Wet Road & Pioneer Avenue, Private Bag X6, Florida, 1710, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Background: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the distribution of HIV and TB in Ethiopia during four years (2015-2018) at the district level, considering both spatial and temporal patterns.
Methods: Consolidated data on the count of TB case notifications and the number of patients with HIV for four years, 2015-2018, were provided by the Ethiopian Federal Ministry of Health. The data was analyzed using the Bayesian hierarchical approach, employing joint spatiotemporal modelling.

Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is an infectious disease of livestock and wildlife species that is caused by pathogenic members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex such as Mycobacterium bovis. Due to the introduction of M. bovis-infected bison in the 1920s, BTB is now endemic in wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) population within the Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) in northern Canada.

Division of Cancer Early Detection, National Cancer Control Institute, National Cancer Center, 323 Ilsan-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang 10408, Korea. Electronic address:
Background: In 2019, Korea initiated the world's first national low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening (LCS) program, adapting the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) to counteract the high false-positive rates driven by prevalent tuberculosis.
Research Question: Does the modified Lung-RADS enhance screening specificity while maintaining sensitivity?
Study Design And Methods: This nationwide, retrospective, cohort study included high-risk current smokers aged 54 to 74 with at least 30 pack-years, participating in the national LCS program from 2019 to 2020. The modified Lung-RADS 1.
