Systematic differences in TB treatment outcomes across Brazil by patient- and area-related factors
BACKGROUND: Many individuals initiating tuberculosis (TB) treatment do not successfully complete the regimen. Understanding variation in treatment outcomes could reveal opportunities to improve the effectiveness of TB treatment services. METHODS: We extracted data on treatment outcomes and patient covariates from Brazil's National Disease Notification Information System, for new TB patients diagnosed during 2015-2018. We analysed whether or not p…
Distribution and transmission of M. tuberculosis in a high-HIV prevalence city in Malawi
Delays in identifying and treating individuals with infectious tuberculosis (TB) contribute to poor health outcomes and allow ongoing community transmission of M. tuberculosis ( Mtb ). Current recommendations for screening for tuberculosis specify community characteristics (e.g., areas with high local tuberculosis prevalence) that can be used to target screening within the general population. However, areas of higher tuberculosis burden are not n…
Uncertainty in tuberculosis clinical decision-making
Tuberculosis is a major infectious disease worldwide, but currently available diagnostics have suboptimal accuracy, particularly in patients unable to expectorate, and are often unavailable at the point-of-care in resource-limited settings. Test/treatment decision are, therefore, often made on clinical grounds. We hypothesized that contextual factors beyond disease probability may influence clinical decisions about when to test and when to treat …
A spatial-mechanistic model to estimate subnational tuberculosis burden with routinely collected data
Reliable subnational estimates of TB incidence would allow national policy makers to focus disease control resources in areas of highest need. We developed an approach for generating small area estimates of TB incidence, and the fraction of individuals missed by routine case detection, based on available notification and mortality data. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by creating municipality-level burden estimates for Brazil. We …
Racial/Ethnic Segregation and Access to Covid-19 Testing
Objectives. To quantify the relationship between the segregation of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities and COVID-19 testing sites in populous US cities. Methods. We mapped testing sites as of June 2020 in New York City; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; and Houston, Texas; we applied Bayesian methods to estimate the association between testing site location and the proportion of the population that is Black, Latinx, or Indigenous…
Changing Patterns of Spatial Clustering of Schistosomiasis in Southwest China between 1999–2001 and 2007–2008
We compared changes in the spatial clustering of schistosomiasis in Southwest China at the conclusion of and six years following the end of the World Bank Loan Project (WBLP), the control strategy of which was focused on the large-scale use of chemotherapy. Parasitological data were obtained through standardized surveys conducted in 1999-2001 and again in 2007-2008. Two alternate spatial cluster methods were used to identify spatial clusters of c…
Prospective evaluation of a complex public health intervention
Evaluation of a complex public health intervention is challenging. In this example, the immediate national roll-out of the TB-STS meant that a controlled survey design was not possible. This study informs the future development of the TB-STS by identifying the need for training to reach wider professional groups, and argues for its continuation based on service users' perception that it is useful. By highlighting the importance of a well-defined …
Negative Controls
Noncausal associations between exposures and outcomes are a threat to validity of causal inference in observational studies. Many techniques have been developed for study design and analysis to identify and eliminate such errors. Such problems are not expected to compromise experimental studies, where careful standardization of conditions (for laboratory work) and randomization (for population studies) should, if applied properly, eliminate most …
Estimating the magnitude and direction of bias in tuberculosis drug resistance surveys conducted only in the public sector
In locations where large numbers of tuberculosis patients are diagnosed and treated by private sector practitioners who are not typically included in drug resistance surveys, targeted surveys for assessing drug resistance are required to validly estimate resistance
Three Problems in Kant's Aesthetics
What does the faculty of Understanding do during the execution of a judgement of taste? How are singular judgements of beauty related to general judgements of beauty? For what reason is beauty the symbol of morality? The first question has a tentative answer, although one not obviously congenial to Kant. The second two questions have no compelling answers
« If I were someone else… » Metaphors in Human Understanding
Pouvoir se penser comme un autre est une condition essentielle de la vie morale et de l'expérience esthétique. Il s'agira ici de décrire ces phénomènes d'identification sous la catégorie de la métaphore. Se penser dans un autre temps, comprendre la vie morale d'un autre, comprendre les personnages d'une fiction ou percevoir le sens d'un œuvre en se «mettant à la place» de l'artiste, sont autant d'identifications métaphoriques qui sont au cœur de …

Jokes
Jokes is a book of jokes and a book about them. Cohen loves a good laugh, but as a philosopher, he is also interested in how jokes work, why they work, and when they don't. The delight at the end of a joke is the result of a complex set of conditions and processes, and Cohen takes us through these conditions in a philosophical exploration of humor. He considers questions of audience, selection of joke topics, the ethnic character of jokes, and th…
