An optimization framework for large-scale screening under limited testing capacity with application to COVID-19
AbstractWe consider the problem of targeted mass screening of heterogeneous populations under limited testing capacity. Mass screening is an essential tool that arises in various settings, e.g., ensuring a safe supply of blood, reducing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, and mitigating the spread of infectious disease outbreaks. The goal of mass screening is to classify whole population groups as positive or negative for an infectious disease as efficiently and accurately as possible. Under limited testing capacity, it is not possible to screen the entire population and hence administrators must reserve testing a...

Understanding the potential role of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in managing patients with gonorrhoea: A systematic review of WGS use on human pathogens in individual patient care
The utility of whole genome sequencing (WGS) to inform sexually transmitted infection (STI) patient management is unclear. Timely WGS data might support clinical management of STIs by characterising epidemiological links and antimicrobial resistance profiles. We conducted a systematic review of clinical application of WGS to any human pathogen that may be transposable to gonorrhoea. (Source: Journal of Infection)

The healthcare needs of survivors of sexual assault
Sexual assault is a prevalent problem which will affect 1 in 4 women, 1 in 6 men, and an even higher proportion of transgender individuals in their lifetime. It is likely that most medical practitioners will encounter a patient reporting sexual assault during their career. Adopting a trauma-informed approach and having a good understanding of the physical, psychological and sociological sequelae of sexual assault will improve outcomes for these patients. This includes knowing when to refer for psychological support, how to prescribe emergency contraception for the best outcome, and how to test for and treat sexually transm...
