Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (ACAD) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, characterized as an inflammatory process due to damage to blood vessel walls by risk factors like aging, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, and diabetes. Infectious agents, including (Cpn), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and (HP), have been implicated in ACAD's pathophysiology. A study with 56 subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) aimed to detect Cpn, CMV, and HP DNA in unaffected artery segments and explore associations with disease progression and inflammation markers.

Setting: Manitoba experiences sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBI) incidence rates above the national average and fundamental public health sector responses face human resource constraints.
Intervention: Manitoba implemented a paraprofessional role, the Communicable Disease Technician (CD Tech), to complete low-complexity STBBI investigations and support STBBI testing, care engagement initiatives, provider reporting, harm reduction supply distribution, and community engagement. Secondary roles included tuberculosis directly observed treatment (DOT) and virtual DOT, and flu and COVID immunization support.
High prevalence of STIs among men engaged in transactional sex and alcohol use in western Kenya: important implications for STI prevention interventions.

Impact Research and Development Organisation, Kisumu, Kenya.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to gather data on the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among men in Kenya, focusing on men engaged in transactional sex and heavy alcohol use to support better STI prevention efforts for both men and women.
- - A total of 1500 men aged 18-39 participated in the research, revealing significant STI rates: 9.5% for HIV, 38.7% for HSV-2, and higher rates for other bacterial STIs (CT: 14.3%, NG: 2.5%).
- - The findings showed that younger participants with more sexual and transactional partners had higher STI rates and lower condom use, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention strategies for this demographic.

Intracellular parasites, including and , are entirely reliant on the active scavenging of host-derived nutrients to fuel their replicative cycle, as they are confined within a specialized membrane-bound compartment, the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Initial observations, based on the proximity of host vesicles to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM), suggested that parasites utilize host vesicles to obtain essential nutrients. However, mounting evidence has now unequivocally demonstrated that intracellular pathogens establish membrane contacts with host organelles, establishing control over host cellular machinery.
