Access to Medicines Research Centre, Faculty of Economics and Business, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium.
Background: Immunization is pivotal for health-related sustainable development, necessitating resilient and sustainable immunization systems. This scoping review explores challenges and strategies for sustained vaccine uptake in the new Decade of Vaccines (2021-2030) within sub-Saharan Africa, encompassing routine and non-routine vaccines.
Methods: The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute's methodology to examine English-language articles published from January 01, 2021, to May 29, 2023.
Effectiveness and Safety of the TRIO Optimal Health Management Program in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) Initiating Basal Insulin Therapy: Real-World Study.
J Med Internet Res
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology, Endocrine and Metabolic Disease Medical Center, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, No.321 Zhongshan Road, Nanjing, CN.
Background: Diabetes, a chronic disease necessitating long-term treatment and self-management, presents significant challenges for patients who spend most of their treatment time outside of hospitals. The potential of digital therapeutics for diabetes has garnered recognition from different organizations. Although some prior studies have demonstrated successful reductions in patients' blood glucose levels and body weight through digital diabetes programs, many studies were limited by including prediabetes patients, patients treated with mostly premixed insulin, or evaluating user engagement outcomes rather than clinical outcomes.

College of Health Sciences, University of Liberia, Monrovia, Liberia.
Background: The burden of the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of morbidity and mortality differentially affected populations. Between and within populations, behavior change was likewise heterogeneous. Factors influencing precautionary behavior adoption during COVID-19 have been associated with multidimensional aspects of risk perception; however, the influence of lived experiences during other recent outbreaks on behavior change during COVID-19 has been less studied.

December 2024
Uganda Tuberculosis Implementation Research Consortium, Walimu, Kampala, Uganda.
Introduction: Adolescents and young adults are at risk of poor adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment and subsequently worse TB treatment outcomes. Digital adherence technologies, including the mobile phone-based 99DOTS platform, can support TB treatment, but there is limited data on their use among adolescents.
Objective: To evaluate factors associated with the uptake of 99DOTS among adolescents with TB.
Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostics: Enhancing Urine Test Accuracy Using a Mobile Phone-Based Reading System.
Ann Lab Med
December 2024
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Chungnam National University School of Medicine, Daejeon, Korea.
Background: Urinalysis, an essential diagnostic tool, faces challenges in terms of standardization and accuracy. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) with mobile technology can potentially solve these challenges. Therefore, we investigated the effectiveness and accuracy of an AI-based program in automatically interpreting urine test strips using mobile phone cameras, an approach that may revolutionize point-of-care testing.
