Life expectancy is rising more rapidly in Africa than in any other continent globally. A new University of Bristol-led study, published in The Lancet Regional Health - Africa, has shown that the age at which people are diagnosed with tuberculosis in Zimbabwe increased by approximately 12 years over a 24-year period. The findings highlight the need to adapt tuberculosis services to an ageing population.

Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV) was initially discovered in a bat sample but has since been isolated from patients with acute respiratory tract diseases. Accumulating reports of NBV isolation from patients with respiratory tract viral infections suggest that NBV is able to transmit and cause disease in humans. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We previously established a

How protective is air conditioning in preventing deaths amid soaring temperatures and record heat levels? Yale researchers found that AC usage cut the amount of annual heat-related deaths by half in the U.S., saving more than 5,000 lives a year. However, while AC is a highly effective heat-adaption tool, protective effects level off once usage passes a certain point. On days of extreme heat, risk
