Background Tuberculosis (TB) research is a key component of the End TB Strategy. To track output, we conducted bibliometric analysis from past decade. Methods The Web Science database was searched for publications January 2007 to December 2016 with "tuberculosis" in title. References were analysed using R bibliometrix package. A year-stratified 5% random subset drawn extract funding sources and identify areas. Findings annual growth rate 7.3%, highest (13.1%) among Brazil, Russia, India,...
Abstract In general, chest radiographs (CXR) have high sensitivity and moderate specificity for active pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) screening when interpreted by human readers. However, they are challenging to scale due hardware costs the dearth of professionals available interpret CXR in low-resource, PTB burden settings. Recently, several computer-aided detection (CAD) programs been developed facilitate automated interpretation. We conducted a retrospective case-control study assess...
Recently, the number of artificial intelligence powered computer-aided detection (CAD) products that detect tuberculosis (TB)-related abnormalities from chest X-rays (CXR) available on market has increased. Although CXR is a relatively effective and inexpensive method for TB screening triaging, shortage skilled radiologists in many high TB-burden countries limits its use. CAD technology offers solution to this problem. Before adopting product, programmes need consider not only diagnostic...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease closely intertwined with stigma, discrimination, and the social determinants of health. Communities people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but field continues to fall short meaningfully engaging communities research. This a missed opportunity improve quality, relevance, person-centeredness, positive impact, sustainability research outputs. We acknowledge important progress that has been made date regarding community engagement TB,...
More than 9 million people develop tuberculosis (TB) every year, but nearly a third are not diagnosed or reported. The current diagnostic tools available range from 100-year-old microscopy technique to the newest generation automated nucleic acid amplification tests, they alone sufficient ensure that we meet goals of end TB strategy. Several new tests under development. As diagnostics developed, it is critical understand particular challenges arise in diagnosis, and existing implemented...
Patent law flexibilities outlined in the Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement make it possible for low-income nations to provide affordable essential medicine during health crises. During rise human immunodeficiency virus/acquired syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic South Africa, multinational pharmaceutical companies challenged implementation these flexibilities. In response this lawsuit, World Trade Organization enacted Doha Declaration, an affirmation right import and...
