Risk factors for extrapulmonary dissemination of tuberculosis and associated mortality during treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis

TL;DR: Age ≥45 years, HIV+ status, excessive alcohol use within the past 12 months, ESRD, and abnormal chest radiographs were independent risk factors for EPTB mortality during TB treatment, and epidemiologic risk factors identified by multivariate analyses provide new information that may be useful to health professionals in managing patients with E PTB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiological, clinical and mechanistic perspectives of tuberculosis in older people.

TL;DR: In this article, the cellular and molecular perturbations interact inextricably with the immunological dysfunction biophysiologically inherent to ageing to contribute to the development of TB in the geriatric population and worsen the disease outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistent inflammation during anti-tuberculosis treatment with diabetes comorbidity.

TL;DR: Principal component analysis revealed virtually complete separation of TBDM from TB individuals in both cohorts at baseline, with hyper-inflammation in TBDM that continued through treatment completion at six months, and substantial convergence of mediator levels between groups within the India cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergence of non-communicable diseases and tuberculosis: a two-way street?

TL;DR: There is sufficient empirical evidence to justify a greater research emphasis on the syndemic interaction between TB and NCD, and biomedical hypotheses, findings from animal models, and emerging epidemiologic data related to the progression of DM, CLD and CVD during and after active TB disease are summarized.

Gestational diabetes and the incidence of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review.

TL;DR: Differences in rates of progression between ethnic groups was reduced by adjustment for various lengths of follow-up and testing rates, so that women appeared to progress to type 2 diabetes at similar rates after a diagnosis of GDM.

Globalization of Diabetes: The role of diet, lifestyle, and genes

TL;DR: Interactions between Westernized diet and lifestyle and genetic background may accelerate the growth of diabetes in the context of rapid nutrition transition, and primary prevention through promotion of a healthy diet andifestyle should be a global public policy priority.
