Fighting tuberculosis hand in hand
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease closely intertwined with stigma, discrimination, and the social determinants of health. Communities of people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but the TB field continues to fall short of meaningfully engaging communities in TB research. This is a missed opportunity to improve the quality, relevance, person-centeredness, positive impact, and sustainability of TB research outputs. We ackn…
A rapid systematized review of evaluated health care programmes for Indigenous peoples in Canada with First Nations authentication of cultural safety domains
A rapid systematized review of health care programmes for Indigenous peoples in Canada from January 1 2019 to March 9 2022 resulted in two programmes that were evaluated as safe by the Indigenous recipients of care. Thematic analysis identified four cultural safety domains that created a safe, high-quality, patient-centred approach to health programming for Indigenous peoples from the evaluated programmes, a scoping review and the grey literature…
Exploration of inter-jurisdictional TB programming and mobility in a Canadian First Nation community
Indigenous peoples living in remote communities face unique push/pull factors that motivate mobility. When these motivations exist in communities with increased risk of contagion by communicable infectious diseases such as TB, public health risks extend into increasingly large areas with competing jurisdictional authority. Such mobility poses several threats to TB elimination. We have identified a gap in TB services to systematically accommodate …
The Catalan Guitar, Part 2
A review of two studies by Josep María Mangado of the history of the guitar in Catalonia: Josep María Mangado Artigas, La guitarra en Cataluña, 1769–1939: Con especial referencia a los guitarristas José Ferrer (1835–1916), Sor, Brocá, Viñas, Bosch, Costa, Más, y otros, version 2.0 (Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Barcelona): Self-published, Tecla, 2010), PDF Josep María Mangado Artigas, Los conciertos de guitarra en el Palau de la Música Catalana (Barce…

Treating latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) with isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) in an inner-city population with psychosocial barriers to treatment adherence
In Canada, preventive therapy for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has required multiple doses of medication over an extended period of time. Such regimens are associated with poor adherence and completion rates. A shortened treatment regimen of once weekly isoniazid plus rifapentine for 3 months (3HP), is now available, and holds promise in populations facing challenges to treatment adherence. Although many factors impact treatment adherence…

Community Setting as a Determinant of Health for Indigenous Peoples Living in the Prairie Provinces of Canada
Indigenous Peoples in Canada experience disproportionately high tuberculosis (TB) rates, and those living in the Prairie Provinces have the most advanced TB presentations (Health Canada, 2009). The community settings (i.e., urban centres, non-remote reserves, remote reserves, and isolated reserves) where Indigenous Peoples live can help explain high TB rates. Through qualitative description, we identify how community setting influenced Indigenous…
Would program performance indicators and a nationally coordinated response accelerate the elimination of tuberculosis in Canada
Twenty years ago, a National Consensus Conference on Tuberculosis (TB) recommended that the provinces and territories of Canada jointly declare a commitment to TB elimination with national coordination and assured funding, executed by a committee of federal and provincial/territorial representatives. Canada has committed to the global TB elimination targets set forth by the World Health Organization but lacks a coordinated response. In particular…

“Finally when I started falling down”
This paper adds evidence to a growing body of literature seeking to understand the disproportionate occurrence of tuberculosis (TB) in Indigenous populations of Canada and reveals insights that may inform effective interventions. As a disease, TB is recognized as a disorder of the body, for which there are successful treatments. Its persistence in some populations, however, requires an understanding of TB as an illness, whereby disease is shaped …
Contact investigation outcomes of Canadian-born adults with tuberculosis in Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Alberta
Years ago”
For First Nations tuberculosis (TB) patients in the Prairie Provinces, the past matters. In this paper, we draw on the analysis of historical statements made by 20 First Nations interviewees with infectious TB to explore the function of talking about the past in relation to a current diagnosis of TB and the implications of historicity on contemporary TB prevention, programming and care. Despite interviewees not being asked directly about past con…
Old Keyam – A Framework for Examining Disproportionate Experience of Tuberculosis Among Aboriginal Peoples of the Canadian Prairies
On the Canadian Prairies, First Nations and Métis peoples are disproportionately affected by tuberculosis (TB) compared to other Canadians. Statistics show enduring transmission and high rates of active TB disease. Despite awareness of the social determinants of TB transmission—such as substance abuse, comorbidities, and basic needs being unmet—transmission and outbreaks continue to occur among Aboriginal people. The Determinants of Tuberculosis …
Increase in Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Alberta Among Foreign-born Persons
Sanitoriums and the Canadian Colonial Legacy
Sanitoriums served a much-needed purpose in the age prior to antituberculosis drugs: They removed the infected patient from wider society and created an environment that promoted recovery. We aimed to (a) describe sanitoriums from the perspective of a First Nations reserve community in northern Canada and (b) understand the impact of the sanitorium experience at a community level. Semistructured interviews ( n = 15) were conducted in a First Nati…

Orientation and mobility research
This article provides an overview of research about orientation and mobility (O&M) of persons with blindness or severe visual impairment. It reviews the development of measures that assess mobility and discusses the use of these measures in the study of factors that influence travel in “natural” travel environments. It then traces the development of measures related to spatial orientation and provides a review of orientation research. The final s…
The impact of HIV on the usefulness of sputum smears for the diagnosis of tuberculosis
In a developing country, 289 patients were examined for active pulmonary mycobacterial disease (sputum smear and culture) and HIV infection (serology) to compare the sensitivity and positive predictive value of sputum smears for diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with and without antibodies to HIV. Seventy-nine percent of HIV-seronegative vs 66% of HIV-seropositive patients with positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis were sme…

Treatment of Tuberculosis in Haiti
We read with interest the study by Desvarieux et al. reported in the January 2001 issue of the Journal1 and commend them on their efforts to develop flexible approaches to directly observed therapy (DOT), integrating behavioral knowledge, cost considerations, and practicality to improve tuberculosis treatment completion rates and program effectiveness. However, we would urge caution in the wider application of deferred DOT (D-DOT) until more data…
