In children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM), tuberculosis is common, difficult to diagnose and often fatal. In 2024, the GHiGS team, together with partners including the University of Zambia (UNZA) and others, published the main results of the TB-Speed SAM diagnostic cohort study funded by Unitaid. In order to improve the management and early […]
A study based on rich data from the CKD-REIN cohort identified five typical haemoglobin trajectory profiles in patients with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease. It emerged that two-thirds of the population studied belonged to a profile with a stable haemoglobin trajectory over time and one-third belonged to a profile with a declining haemoglobin trajectory. […]
