The review presents modern view on the global problem of chlamydial infections. Current nomenclature of chlamydiae was adduced. Epidemiology, etiology, clinical features, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of chlamydiosis received full coverage. The potential involvement of chlamydiae in the progression of various infectious and somatic diseases was revealed. Special attention was paid to pathomorphological alterations in human tissues, which develop during primary infection with chlamydia as well as during chronic infection. Key problems were demonstrated: underestimation of prevalence of chlamydiae among humans in worldwide clinical practice, the difficulty of detection of extragenital chlamydiosis, the lack of effective methods for diagnosis and treatment of persistent forms, the paucity of descriptions of pathomorphological picture of human chlamydiosis, the absence of specific prevention of infection.

Left Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortical Activity During Reward Expectancy and Mania Risk.
JAMA Psychiatry
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: Mania/hypomania is the pathognomonic feature of bipolar disorder (BD). As BD is often misdiagnosed as major depressive disorder (MDD), replicable neural markers of mania/hypomania risk are needed for earlier BD diagnosis and pathophysiological treatment development.
Objective: To replicate the previously reported positive association between left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) activity during reward expectancy (RE) and mania/hypomania risk, to explore the effect of MDD history on this association, and to compare RE-related left vlPFC activity in individuals with and at risk of BD.
Cost-Effectiveness of Breast Cancer Screening Using Digital Mammography in Canada.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Medical Oncology, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: Evolving breast cancer treatments have led to improved outcomes but carry a substantial financial burden. The association of treatment costs with the cost-effectiveness of screening mammography is unknown.
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of population-based breast cancer screening in the context of current treatment standards.
Glutamatergic Medications for Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Center for OCD and Related Disorders, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Importance: Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) encompass various neuropsychiatric conditions that cause significant distress and impair daily functioning. Although standard treatments are often effective, approximately 60% of patients may not respond adequately, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.
Objective: To evaluate improvement in OCRD symptoms associated with glutamatergic medications as monotherapy or as augmentation to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, with a focus on double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
High incidence of tuberculosis in young children living with HIV in the Western Cape, South Africa.
J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr
January 2025
Centre for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Research, School of Public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa.
Background: Data on tuberculosis (TB) incidence and risk factors among children living with HIV (CLHIV) in the universal ART era are limited.
Methods: We analysed routinely-collected data on TB diagnoses for CLHIV age ≤5 years, born 2018-2022, in the Westen Cape, South Africa. We examined factors associated with TB diagnosis, with death and loss to follow-up as competing events.
