First insight into latent tuberculosis infection among household contacts of tuberculosis patients in Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan: using tuberculin skin test and QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background: The objectives were to estimate the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among household contacts (HHCs) with active TB patients, and to identify their risk factors.

Can a fourth-generation interferon gamma release assay predict progression to TB disease? [PDF]

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death from a single infectious agent - Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). A key aspect of TB control is the provision of TB Preventative Therapy (TPT) to prevent to progress to disease ...

Global and microlocal aspects of Dirac operators: Propagators and Hadamard states

Mathematische Nachrichten, Volume 298, Issue 9, Page 2942-2974, September 2025.
Abstract We propose a geometric approach to construct the Cauchy evolution operator for the Lorentzian Dirac operator on Cauchy‐compact globally hyperbolic 4‐manifolds. We realize the Cauchy evolution operator as the sum of two invariantly defined oscillatory integrals—the positive and negative Dirac propagators—global in space and in time, with ...

Comparing patterns of recent and remote Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection determined using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay in a high TB burden setting.

PLOS Global Public Health
One quarter of the world's population is estimated to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Identifying recent TB infection (TBI) offers an avenue to targeted TB preventative therapy provision, and prevention to disease progression.

Precision targeting of preventative therapy for tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2021
Background: Scale-up of preventative treatment for tuberculosis (TB) represents a cornerstone of global control efforts. I examined a range of approaches to enable more precise targeting of preventative treatment to people at highest risk.

Axion‐Like Interactions and CFT in Topological Matter, Anomaly Sum Rules and the Faraday Effect

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 4, Issue 7, July 2025.
This review investigates the connection between chiral anomalies and their manifestation in topological materials, using both perturbative methods based on ordinary quantum field theory and conformal field theory (CFT). It emphasizes the role of CFT in momentum space for parity‐odd correlation functions, and their reconstruction by the inclusion of a ...
