AI Article Synopsis
- The article examines the history of HIV/AIDS through the lens of a specific Indonesian transgender group known as waria, highlighting how their experiences have been largely shaped by research since the 1980s.
- It critiques the dominance of Global North perspectives, which often prioritize biomedical approaches, in shaping policies and programs related to HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention.
- By utilizing oral histories, the study aims to offer a more nuanced understanding of global health concepts and challenge the hierarchical narratives in existing ethnographic accounts of HIV/AIDS.
Article Abstract
The history of HIV/AIDS is often told from the Global North, a viewpoint that is naturalized in policies and programs that privilege biomedical models of treatment and prevention. This article explores how one Indonesian transgender population known as became the subject of various forms of research since the 1980s. Research was one way that waria came to be classified as part of the key population of "transgender people." Drawing on an oral history project conducted in 2021/2022, we show how - while necessarily hierarchical - ethnographic accounts of other HIV/AIDS histories can rethink fundamental global health concepts.

As an important receptor in a host's immune and metabolic systems, NOD1 is usually activated by Gram-negative bacteria having -diaminopimelic acid (-DAP) in their peptidoglycan (PGN). But some atypical Gram-positive bacteria also contain -DAP in their PGN, giving them the potential to activate NOD1. The prevalence of -DAP-type Gram-positive bacteria in the gut, however, remains largely unknown.

Objectives: Multicancer early detection (MCED) testing could result in earlier cancer diagnosis, thereby improving survival and reducing treatment costs. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of MCED testing plus usual care (UC) screening while accounting for the impact of clinical uncertainty and population heterogeneity for an MCED test with broad coverage of solid cancer incidence.
Study Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis of MCED testing plus UC vs UC alone in an adult population in the US.
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with significant comorbidities, including cardiovascular and respiratory complications, leading to increased hospitalization rates in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CICUs). This study examines factors related to ICU/CICU admissions among Polish RA patients from 2011 to 2021.
Objectives: The study aims to analyze trends in ICU/CICU admissions, identify key factors influencing outcomes, and assess the impact of comorbidities on RA patient ICU/CICU mortality in critical care settings.
