Development and planning of health care services requires robust health information systems to define the burden of disease, inform policy development, and identify opportunities to improve service provision. The global coverage of kidney disease health information systems has not been well reported...

Plasma albumin concentration and intestinal permeability have been investigated in Bangladeshi children before and 9-14 d after successful treatment for ascariasis. Children infected with A. lumbricoides had lower plasma albumin concentrations than counterparts not harbouring this worm and values in...

BACKGROUND: Health information systems (HIS) are fundamental tools for the surveillance of health services, estimation of disease burden and prioritization of health resources. Several gaps in the availability of HIS for kidney disease were highlighted by the first iteration of the Global Kidney Hea...

Due to the worldwide rising prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a need to develop strategies through well-designed clinical studies to guide decision making and improve delivery of care to CKD patients. A cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the International Society of Nep...

Information about disease burden and the available infrastructure and workforce to care for patients with kidney disease was collected for the second edition of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas. This paper presents findings for the 8 countries in the South Asia regi...

The razor clam genus Novaculina represents an example of a marine-derived, secondary freshwater group. It was thought to comprise three species: N. gangetica (Ganges and smaller basins in Bangladesh and northwestern Myanmar), N. siamensis (Bang Pakong and Pasak rivers in Thailand and Mekong River in...

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2020xga and SN 2022xgc, two hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) at z = 0.4296 and z = 0.3103, respectively, which show an additional set of broad Mg II absorption lines, blueshifted by a few thousands kilometer second −1 with r...

Does the structure and connectivity of host populations influence the dynamics and evolution of their pathogens? This topical question is the essence of research investigating the ecology of a Pteropus fruit bat and its zoonotic Nipah virus (NiV) published by Olival et al. in this issue of Molecular...

ABSTRACT The Corbicula clams (Bivalvia: Cyrenidae) are an ecologically significant and widespread group of fresh‐ and brackish‐water molluscs, playing a keystone role in aquatic ecosystems. Some species of this genus are subglobal invaders. The taxonomy of Corbicula remains very confusing, which hin...

The razor clam genus Novaculina Benson, 1830 (Bivalvia: Pharidae: Pharellinae) is a group of secondary freshwater bivalves. Four allopatric species in this genus are distributed throughout Asian freshwater drainages from the Ganges River in India to the Yangtze River in China. Here, we present sever...

We present X-shooter spectroscopic and photometric observations of a sample of 21 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), spanning a redshift range of z = 0.13 − 0.95, aimed at searching for shells of circumstellar material (CSM). Specifically, we focused on identifying broad Mg II absorpt...

Background Systematic reviews (SRs) are being published at an accelerated rate. Decision makers may struggle with comparing and choosing between multiple SRs on the same topic. We aimed to understand how healthcare decision makers (e.g., practitioners, policymakers, researchers) use SRs to inform de...

The ESO/ELT ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph) project successfully completed the system architecture review and is currently finalizing its preliminary design phase. ANDES is the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT (ESO Extremely Large Telescope) capable of reaching a resol...
