Very cool example of decision analytic modeling in TB sepsis from UVA ID mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/6…

“It’s also clear that we cannot truly #EndTB unless we address its drivers: poverty, malnutrition, diabetes, HIV, tobacco and alcohol use, poor living and working conditions, stigma and discrimination, and more” - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus #WorldTBDay2023 World Health Organization (WHO)

TB is set to reclaim the dubious crown of being the leading infectious killer. Here’s a message I was asked to record for AIIMS, New Delhi 🇮🇳 on the leading (and possibly most neglected) risk factor for TB. The Union BU_TIARA Stop TB Partnership McGill TB Centre

On #WorldTBDay2023, a round up of our latest research on TB diagnosis, care & treatment. 🧵 Starting here: Beauty Umana (BFH Umana) & colleagues argue that we need to be more purposeful about language used in describing and projecting ideas about TB: plos.io/3FMKGBw

Was happy to have seen the original microscope & equipment used by Robert Koch in the museum at Robert Koch-Institut Berlin! He worked on many infectious diseases & travelled the world for research. #WorldTBDay2023 is observed for his discovery of Mycobacterium as the cause of #TB in 1882

One of the innovative initiatives of the TB program is #Nikshay Mitra which encourages citizens to support one or more patients with nutritional & other needs. It reduces stigma, increases awareness & helps needy TB patients #WorldTBDay2023 Ministry of Health Stop TB Partnership World Health Organization (WHO) Confederation of Indian Industry

Very proud of Alex Richards who on this World TB day had not 1 but 2 papers published from her PhD, and wrote some wise words to accompany them. Fantastic and important work!

Working in the TB clinic is always a joy. This world TB day, I just wanted to give a shout out to the amazing and dedicated public health nurses Boston Medical Center. Unlike sputa, I did not need any inducement. Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH @id_bmc BU_TIARA

Looking forward to seeing you at the Union/TB science. There is an exciting program being prepared. The Union Conference #tbscience

At long last: short, all-oral regimens for multidrug resistant tuberculosis in the United States ✅ Just Accepted 🔓 Open Access 🔗 bit.ly/3K9lQgK

I learned a lot by writing this perspective on scaling up short all-oral regimens for drug-resistant TB in the US with Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH, Bob Horsburgh & Carlos Acuña-Villaorduña. bit.ly/3UgR7CV @id_bmc The Union McGill TB Centre @Marcoandlungs @TB_NewsDaily BU_TIARA

Achieving 2030 End TB Targets will require >20% year-on-year decline in incidence and mortality, for 8 years. In the ERJ (ERS publications), we (Justin Denholm, GB Migliori & others) argue for a renewed vision of TB elimination, using a staged approach. bit.ly/3H3iX08

BPaL in the US is a BIG deal! Key points of our editorial: - BPaL is safe, effective, & cost-saving - We need to monitor for BDQ resistance as we scale up - Therapeutic drug monitoring for LZD is critical @id_bmc Paul Sax Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH BU_TIARA academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

We’d all like to see TB rates dropping faster than they are! Engaging corporations to help end TB in workplaces, communities, and countries is an inadequately tapped strategy. Our reflection: tinyurl.com/2p93eayf natasha hochberg BU-CHART @id_bmc JIPMER - Official @paimadhu

To improve quality of #midwifery education, we explored the clinical learning experience for midwifery students in #SierraLeone. Clinics provided access to direct, hands-on opportunities or patient care and were more supportive learning environments. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/f8…

Denial of universal access to antiretroviral therapy for HIV was based on the false premise of limited resources. This same argument still kills people with TB, malaria, malnutrition, cholera every minute. Are #EA adherents conditioning the #Titan rescue effort on its cost/DALY?
