Placental malaria
Background: Pregnant women in malaria-endemic countries are at risk of placental malaria (PM), which can lead to adverse outcomes for both mothers and children. Histology of placental tissue is the gold standard for diagnosing PM, as it can detect current and past infections. Prior reviews focussed on malaria in pregnancy generally; in this systematic review, we specifically examine PM due to Plasmodium falciparum, its associated risk factors, an…
Tuberculosis treatment and resulting abnormal blood glucose
BACKGROUND: Hyperglycaemia is a risk factor for tuberculosis. Evidence of changes in blood glucose levels during and after tuberculosis treatment is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compile evidence of changes in blood glucose during and after tuberculosis treatment and the effects of elevated blood glucose changes on treatment outcomes in previously normoglycaemic patients. METHODS: Original research studies (1980 to 2021) were identified in PubMed, Web o…
