In 2004, the government of Malawi took the ambitious step of offering antiretroviral therapy to anyone who needed it. Health on Delivery examines how the antiretroviral rollout unfolded, moving from World Health Organization boardrooms in Geneva to clinics held under trees in rural Malawi. This engaging and accessible ethnographic study focuses on the patients, healthcare providers, and policy-makers involved. It provides an analytic framework to address the processes by which global policy is made and implemented.
Various “omics” methods have recently revolutionized molecular diagnostics. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) makes it possible to sequence a human genome in just one day. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) greatly improves the ability to investigate the outbreaks of numerous pathogens. Metagenomics helps to analyze the microbiome, which aids greatly in identifying the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Proteomic-based methods, namely matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), have a promising role in identifying myctobacteria and fungi, and predicting antimicrobial resistance. While there are numerous scientific publications on “omics” a...
Abstract: The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance is one of the major global issues currently threatening the health and wealth of nations, with effective guidelines and intervention strategies urgently required. Such guidelines and interventions should ideally be targeted at individuals, communities, and nations, requiring international coordination for maximum effect. In this respect, the European Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance Transnational Working Group 'Antimicrobial Resistance - Rapid Diagnostic Tests' (JPIAMR AMR-RDT) is proposing to consider a 'mix-and-match' package for the implementation of point-of-care testing (PoCT), which is described in t...
