Screening Tools for Sarcopenia in Community-Dwellers: A Scoping Review.
CONCLUSION: Our scoping review identified 6 candidate tools to screen for sarcopenia. Direct comparison studies in the community would help to provide insights into their comparative performance as screening tools. More studies are needed to reach a consensus on the best screening tool(s) to be used in clinical practice.

Clinical Determinants of Diabetes Progression in Multiethnic Asians with Type 2 Diabetes - A 3-Year Prospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: Young age at T2DM diagnosis, high baseline HbA1c and Malay ethnicity are independent determinants of diabetes progression in Asians with T2DM. Further mechanistic studies are needed to elucidate the pathophysiology underpinning progressive loss of glycaemic control in patients with T2DM.

Megatrends in Infectious Diseases: The Next 10 to 15 Years.
Abstract
It has been about 100 years since the Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918-19 that killed an estimated 50 million individuals globally. While we have made remarkable progress in reducing infection-related mortality, infections still account for 13 to 15 million deaths annually. This estimate is projected to remain unchanged until 2050. We have identified 4 megatrends in infectious diseases and these are "emerging and re-emerging infections", "antimicrobial resistance", "demographic changes" and "technological advances". Understanding these trends and challenges should lead to opportunites for the me...
