The authors analyze 218 cases of death from pulmonary tuberculosis in the Vinnitsa Province Tuberculosis Dispensary from 1984 to 1987. A high proportion of mortality was noted among those who died at term under one year after diagnosis, patients with recurrences of the process indicating unsatisfactory measures for early diagnosis of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, inadequate dispensary treatment and antirecurrence measures.

Heterogeneity of OAS family expression in tuberculosis and the impact of different sample selection: a comprehensive analysis.
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis

Clinical Laboratory Center, Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, PR China. Electronic address:
The 2'-5' oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS)family, comprising OAS1, OAS2, OAS3, and OASL, has been shown to participate in the host immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). However, their expression profiles in tuberculosis (TB) remain inconsistent. In two TB-related datasets, the OAS family exhibits contrasting expression trends.

Background: There are few data on the treatment of children and adolescents with multidrug-resistant (MDR) or rifampicin-resistant (RR) tuberculosis, especially with more recently available drugs and regimens. We aimed to describe the clinical and treatment characteristics and their associations with treatment outcomes in this susceptible population.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
The role of non-respiratory arousals in residual daytime sleepiness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea treated with positive airway pressure: An analysis of the European Sleep Apnea Database registry.

January 2025
Department of Pulmonology, Louvain University Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders (LUCS), University Hospitals Leuven Campus Gasthuisberg, Leuven, Belgium.
Study Objectives: To assess the impact of the non-respiratory arousal burden at baseline polysomnography (PSG) on residual daytime sleepiness in positive airway pressure (PAP)-treated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: We included OSA patients from the European Sleep Apnea Database registry with available arousal data who had at least 2 treatment follow-up visits. The primary outcome was the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score under PAP.
Performance of five dynamic models in predicting tuberculosis incidence in three prisons in Thailand.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Preventive and Social Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
This study examined the ability of the following five dynamic models for predicting pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) incidence in a prison setting: the Wells-Riley equation, two Rudnick & Milton-proposed models based on air changes per hour and liters per second per person, the Issarow et al. model, and the applied susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) tuberculosis (TB) transmission model. This 1-year prospective cohort study employed 985 cells from three Thai prisons (one prison with 652 cells as the in-sample, and two prisons with 333 cells as the out-of-sample).
