Summary
Global tuberculosis control efforts over the past decade are reviewed. The new Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan emphasizes social protection and research for high-burden countries like Brazil.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Infectious Disease Control
- Global Health Policy
Background:
- Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge.
- Past decade saw various TB control actions worldwide.
- The Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan outlines future strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review global tuberculosis control actions from the last decade.
- To assess the prospects for achieving the goals of the new Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan.
- To highlight the strategic role of social protection and research in TB elimination.
Main Methods:
- Review of global tuberculosis control initiatives.
- Analysis of the Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan framework.
- Examination of the integration of social protection and research.
Main Results:
- The review covers TB control actions over the last ten years.
- The Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan incorporates innovative strategies.
- Social protection (Pillar 2) and research (Pillar 3) are identified as key components.
Conclusions:
- The Global Tuberculosis Elimination Plan offers a strategic path towards TB elimination.
- Social protection and research are crucial for advancing TB control.
- High-burden countries, including Brazil, will particularly benefit from these integrated approaches.

01:23Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells
3.3K
The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the...

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Medical management of tuberculosis (TB) patients involves a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring. The specific strategies can vary depending on the type of tuberculosis (latent or active), the patient's overall health status, and other considerations.
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when TB bacteria are present in a person's body, but are not causing illness or symptoms. It is not contagious, and preventive treatment is crucial to avoid the...

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
2.1K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
3.1K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...
