Perspectives on climate action and the changing burden of infectious diseases among young Italian doctors and students
Background The eco-climatic crisis has been defined by the World Health Organization as the “single biggest health threat facing humanity,” influencing both the emergence of zoonoses and the spread of vector-borne and water-borne diseases. The aim of this survey was to explore knowledge, eco-anxiety and attitudes toward the ecological and climate crisis among young Italian doctors and medical students. Methods A cross-sectional, multicenter surve…
Comparative effectiveness of chest ultrasound, chest X-ray and computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) for tuberculosis diagnosis in low-resource setting
Introduction Early and accurate diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is crucial for timely treatment and prevention of transmission, but diagnostic challenges persist due to complex symptoms and limitations in diagnostic tools. Chest X-ray (CXR) is the standard imaging modality, but its sensitivity and specificity may vary. Recently, some promising alternatives emerged such as chest ultrasonography (CUS) – particularly valuable in resource-li…
Measuring preparedness to infectious diseases among people exposed to climate disasters in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique
In climate-vulnerable communities in Mozambique, households practicing family planning, providing access to primary education and birth certificate for all children were less vulnerable to water-borne and vector-borne infectious disease outbreaks. Being family planning and childcare primarily performed by women, our findings can inform policymakers and practitioners on the importance of addressing women to mitigate the impact of climate disasters…
Stool Xpert MTB/RIF as a possible diagnostic alternative to sputum in Africa
Subacute Cardiac Tamponade Due to Tuberculous Pericarditis Diagnosed by Urine Lipoarabinomannan Assay in a Immunocompetent Patient in Oyam District, Uganda
Our case highlights the potential usefulness of a LF-LAM-based diagnostic approach, suggesting that, in low-resource settings, this test might be used as part of routine diagnostic workup in patients with pericardial disease or suspected extra-pulmonary tuberculosis
