New treatment gives hope in fight against tuberculosis in Asia
#treatment #hope #fight #tuberculosis #Asia
Faster and much more effective treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis is being rolled out in Asia-Pacific, raising hopes of a “new era” in the fight against one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this region will account for the largest proportion of the 10.6 million new cases of tuberculosis worldwide in 2022, and more than half of 1.3 million deaths.
Although TB can be cured with antibiotics, more than 3% of new patients with the infectious disease have a drug-resistant form.
Until recently, treatments involved daily injections or large doses of tablets for at least 18 months, sometimes with strong side effects: nausea and, in extreme cases, blindness. Many patients abandoned their treatment.
A new product that is lighter and with fewer side effects is starting to be offered in the region, particularly in the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia. Trials have shown a cure rate of over 90% after six months.
The BPaL treatment, which combines the antibiotics bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid, has been approved in more than 60 countries, according to the nonprofit TB Alliance, which developed it.
Long distance relationship: how can it be successful? Stahl and Klaschinski have advice
Stefanie Stahl is a best-selling author and psychotherapist, Lukas Klaschinski is a podcast star and psychologist. In their joint column this week, they talk about long-distance relationships – and how love can work at a distance.
by Stefanie Stahl and Lukas Klaschinski
Lukas Klaschinski: We often talk in this column about what separates people emotionally in their relationships. Today we want to deal with physical distance, which has its own pitfalls, but which in no way excludes emotional closeness. On the contrary, many people in long-distance relationships feel very close. There are quite a few couples who live at a distance; one in eight relationships is a long-distance relationship. On average, they are separated by 650 kilometers. Steffi, are you one of those people who have ever had a long-distance or weekend relationship?
Stefanie Stahl: Actually, yes. It started as a close relationship, but then became a long-distance relationship between Germany and America. The man was transferred to the USA and before we gave up the relationship we just wanted to try it out.
Lukas Klaschinski: How was this change? Has it been good for your relationship? And what didn’t work so well?

Help=Jo Jun-hee, director of ophthalmology of Seoul Pacific
[바이오타임즈] The eyes, an important tissue for life, are composed of a complex structure. Despite the need for such care and management, it is common for people to be exposed to eye diseases from a young age due to the development of electronic devices and media. The problem is that, due to the nature of the eye disease, it is difficult to recognize it in the early stages and, in many cases, it has already worsened significantly by the time of diagnosis. Therefore, if you are genetically at high risk of exposure to an eye disease or suddenly have vision problems, you need to visit a hospital as soon as possible.
Of course, many eye diseases require prompt treatment, but among them there are diseases that require timely treatment to prevent deterioration of vision. A retinal tear is a hole in the retina. Since retinal tear is a disease of the retina, understanding the retinal structure is necessary. The retina is a tissue that helps light enter the eye and form images, and corresponds to the nerve membrane that covers the innermost layer of the eye.
