  • Diagnostic accuracy of a simplified minimally invasive tissue sampling protocol for stillbirths in low-resource settings

    Open AccessNúria Peñuelas, Adela Saco et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Background Stillbirth rates remain unacceptably high in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Understanding the causes of death (CoD) is mandatory to develop effective strategies to reduce this high mortality. Minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) is a promising alternative to conventional autopsy (CA) but its validation in stillbirths remains limited. Existing evidence indicates that most samples of conventional MITS (c-MITS) lack diagno…

  • Contribution of malnutrition to infant and child deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

    Open AccessZachary J Madewell, Adama Mamby Keita et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Introduction Malnutrition contributes to 45% of all childhood deaths globally, but these modelled estimates lack direct measurements in countries with high malnutrition and under-5 mortality rates. We investigated malnutrition’s role in infant and child deaths in the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network. Methods We analysed CHAMPS data from seven sites (Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and…

  • Accuracy of verbal autopsy, clinical data and minimally invasive autopsy in the evaluation of malaria-specific mortality

    Open AccessNatalia Rakislova, Dercio Jordao et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Global malaria mortality estimates are hindered by the low reliability of the verbal autopsy (VA) and the clinical records, the most common sources of information used to estimate malaria-specific mortality. We aimed to determine the accuracy of these tools, as well as of the minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), a needle-based postmortem sampling method, to identify malaria-specific mortality in a large series of deceased patients from M…

    Malacoplakia is an uncommon chronic granulomatous inflammation that rarely affects the female genital tract. A case of a 78-year-old woman with malacoplakia involving the uterine cervix and the vagina is described. The patient complained of vaginal bleeding. Clinically, a 13-mm mass was detected in the cervix, which was confirmed by ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Histological examination showed a dense histiocytic infiltrate with…
