TL;DR: It is estimated that, globally, at least 421,000 envenomings and 20,000 deaths occur each year due to snakebite, with the highest burden exists in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: Modeling reveals differences in the unfolding COVID-19 epidemics and responses to their control among countries with different income levels and combines data on demography, contact patterns, disease severity, and health care capacity and quality to understand its impact and inform strategies for its control.

TL;DR: A randomized, controlled trial of induction therapy for cryptococcal meningitis in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, finding that amphotericin B plus flucytosine, as compared with amphoteric in B alone, is associated with improved survival.

TL;DR: This study unequivocally demonstrates that snake envenoming is a disease of the poor, and the negative association between snakebite deaths and government expenditure on health confirms that the burden of mortality is highest in those countries least able to deal with the considerable financial cost of snakebite.

TL;DR: It is reported that naturally occurring variant forms of p17-3, p 24-13 and p24-14 may cause antagonism of CTL lines derived from the same individuals, which is present if the epitopes are derived from synthetic peptides and when they are processed from full-length proteins expressed by either recombinant vaccinia constructs or replicating HIV.
