Inferring < em > Mycobacterium Tuberculosis < /em > Drug Resistance and Transmission using Whole-genome Sequencing in a High TB-burden Setting in China
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that drug-resistant strains are more transmissible than susceptible strains and that transmission is the major driving force of the current DR-TB epidemic in Kashgar.PMID:38582978 | DOI:10.3967/bes2023.116 (Source: Biomedical and Environmental Sciences : BES)

Effectiveness of Histopathological Examination of Ultrasound-guided Puncture Biopsy Samples for Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound-guided puncture sampling is safe and effective for the diagnosis of EPTB. Compared with culture, smear, and Xpert, histopathological examination showed higher sensitivity but lower specificity. The combination of histopathology with Xpert showed the best performance characteristics.PMID:38582979 | DOI:10.3967/bes2024.017 (Source: Biomedical and Environmental Sciences : BES)

Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Lancet. 2024 Apr 3:S0140-6736(24)00367-2. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(24)00367-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of...
