Breaking the paradigm: Optimized Case Finding multiplies tuberculosis detection among key populations in Ukraine

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2021
Introduction: In 2018, there were 3 million “missed” tuberculosis (TB) cases globally, much of which was disproportionally concentrated among key populations.

Outreach screening to address demographic and economic barriers to diabetic retinopathy care in rural China

PLoS ONE, 2022
Importance Poor access to existing care for diabetic retinopathy (DR) limits effectiveness of proven treatments. Objectives We examined whether outreach screening in rural China improves equity of access.

Two-thirds of smear-positive tuberculosis cases in the community were undiagnosed in Northwest Ethiopia: population based cross-sectional study.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundTuberculosis (TB) case detection rate remains low in Ethiopia. One of the underlying reasons is the emphasis on passive case finding strategy which may seriously underestimate the burden of the disease.

Personalized information system for the control of tuberculosis in resource-limited settings: A simplistic proposal approach

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2016
Passive case finding remains the mainstay of tuberculosis (TB) control in several resource-limited countries. Although TB prevalence and mortality rates have declined in recent years, an estimated 3 million cases a year still go undetected and/or ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
