Diabetes

From the abstract: " Few young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) meet glucose targets. Continuous glucose monitoring improves glycemia, but access is not equitable. We prospectively assessed the impact of a systematic and equitable digital-health-team-based care program implementing tighter glucose targets (HbA1c?<?7%), early technology use (continuous glucose monitoring starts <1?month after diagnosis) and remote patient monitoring on glycemia in young people with newly diagnosed T1D enrolled in the Teamwork, Targets, Technology, and Tight Control (4T Study)."

Pathogen genomics

From the article: "Genetic sequencing of pathogens has revolutionized the surveillance of infectious diseases, empowering scientists and health officials to anticipate and respond effectively to outbreaks. Despite their transformative potential, next-generation sequencing technologies have traditionally been inaccessible to many in the global scientific community, particularly in the Global South. This is primarily due to the prohibitively high capital costs and a widespread deficiency in laboratory infrastructure and genomics expertise. Ironically, it is in these regions where genomic surveillance could yield the most crucial insights, underscoring the urgent need for equitable access to such transformative technologies. "
