Standard of care in advanced HIV disease: review of HIV treatment guidelines in six sub-Saharan African countries
CONCLUSION: National guidelines addressing the care of advanced HIV disease in sub-Saharan Africa are available. Besides optimal timing for start of ART in presence of tuberculosis, most national recommendations are in line with the 2021 WHO standards.PMID:37996881 | PMC:PMC10668471 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-023-00581-5 (Source: AIDS Research and Therapy)

Performance of CHROMagar ESBL media for the surveillance of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant < em > Enterobacterales < /em > (ESCrE) from rectal swabs in Botswana
Conclusion. The performance characteristics of CHROMagar ESBL media suggest that they may be a viable screening tool for the identification of ESCrE from hospitalized and community participants and could be used to inform infection prevention and control practices in Botswana and potentially other low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Further studies are required to analyse the costs and the impact on time-to-result of the media in comparison with available laboratory methods for ESCrE surveillance in the country.PMID:37991431 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001770 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Higher Mortality Is Not a Universal Cost of Dispersal: A Case Study in African Wild Dogs
Am Nat. 2023 Nov;202(5):616-629. doi: 10.1086/726220. Epub 2023 Oct 19.ABSTRACTAbstractMortality is considered one of the main costs of dispersal. A reliable evaluation of mortality, however, is often hindered by a lack of information about the fate of individuals that disappear under unexplained circumstances (i.e., missing individuals). Here, we addressed this uncertainty by applying a Bayesian mortality analysis that inferred the fate of missing individuals according to information from individuals with known fate. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that mortality during dispersal is higher than mortality among nond...
