In no country has the duel prevailed to such a great extent as in France where the matter of dueling and affairs of honor were of frequent occurrence until the 20th century. The term duel has since been established for any contest between 2 persons or parties, be they sporting, intellectual, political, or in other matters. Despite their worldwide recognition and great scientific production, Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine became rivals at the end of the 19th century. While Marie defended Charcot's neurological school at Salpêtrière Hospital, Dejerine had his own neurology school to contend. The fierce antagonism between them materialized to the verge of a real death duel in 1892 and later to an intellectual duel in the famous debate about aphasias, held in Paris in 1908.

Background: Adiposity can be measured using BMI (which is based on weight and height) as well as indices of abdominal adiposity. We examined the association between BMI and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) within and across populations of different world regions and quantified how well these two metrics discriminate between people with and without hypertension.
Methods: We used data from studies carried out from 1990 to 2023 on BMI, WHtR and hypertension in people aged 20-64 years in representative samples of the general population in eight world regions.

Introduction: Genetic variants may influence Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in the immune response to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and lead to cervical cancer. In this study, we investigated the pattern of TLR expression in the transcriptome of HPV-positive and HPV-negative cervical cancer samples and looked for variants potentially related to TLR gene alterations in exomes from different populations.
Materials And Methods: A cervical tissue sample from 28 women, which was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, was used to examine TLR gene expression.
Background: Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 200 countries and territories.
Methods: We used data from 3663 population-based studies with 222 million participants that measured height and weight in representative samples of the general population.
Article Synopsis
- - Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health issue, especially for people living with HIV, who face high rates of TB-related illness and death, and survivors may experience post-TB lung disease.
- - The TB Sentinel Research Network (TB-SRN) is set to conduct a study involving 2600 individuals aged 15 and older, both with and without HIV, to evaluate TB treatment outcomes across 16 sites in 11 countries, collecting extensive health-related data over 12 months.
- - The study has received ethical approval, ensuring participant safety and informed consent procedures, and aims to share its findings with national TB programs to shape future TB policies and practices globally.
Prevalence of neurotoxicity symptoms among postpartum women on isoniazid preventive therapy and efavirenz-based treatment for HIV: an exploratory objective of the IMPAACT P1078 randomized trial.

Article Synopsis
- - This analysis focused on postpartum women undergoing HIV treatment to explore the prevalence and risk factors for neurocognitive toxicity, particularly in relation to the interaction between Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) and Efavirenz.
- - Involving 956 women, the study evaluated depression, cognitive function, sleep quality, and peripheral neuropathy at various postpartum weeks, revealing peaks of mild depression (13%), cognitive complaints (8%), and poor sleep quality (10%) at 12 weeks.
- - Results indicated no significant differences in neurotoxic symptom odds based on the timing of IPT initiation or use of Efavirenz, suggesting the need for further investigation into neurotoxicity risk factors.
