Sharing this awesome job opportunity from the TB research group Emory Public Health staff-emory.icims.com/jobs/63839/job

Thanks to Matt Magee for presenting “TB, Pulmonary Impairment and stress hyperglycemia” at our Works in Progress meeting today. He shared design and plans for the NIAID News funded MIDST TB study and preliminary findings of Fogarty at NIH funded PITT study.

These studies are examining the intersection of TB and diabetes and patients’ health after TB cure and are in collaboration with the National Center for TB and Lung Disease (NCTLD) in Tblisi, Georgia.

MIDST TB will examine : 1. relationship between stress hyperglycemia & TB outcomes, 2. whether stress hyperglycemia increases risk of diabetes after TB cure, 3. relationship between adipose tissue inflammation during TB, stress hyperglycemia and diabetes risk

The PITT (Pulmonary Impairment after TB Treatment) study is 12 month prospective cohort study focusing on patients cured of TB to determine their long-term pulmonary impairment after they are cured of TB. Fogarty at NIH reporter.nih.gov/search/VIV9n39…

The PITT study also served as a platform for Argita Dyah Salindri’s PhD dissertation examining metabolic changes that occur after TB cure. She found that patients experience not only weight gain, but also increases in HbA1c and visceral adiposity following TB cure.

We also welcomed Teona Avaliani from the National Center for TB and Lung Disease in Tblisi to present her upcoming abstract for the The Union Conference. She examined the impact of COVID-19 on lung health in patients recently cured of TB, leveraging the PITT study. Fogarty at NIH

Mini-retreat, mini-concert, you name it! Grateful to join such a fun lab! Thanks for taking us, Jason!

Preventive treatment can be an effective tool for reducing TB burden, but remains underutilized in underserved populations. In this new piece, we argue for expanding provision of TPT for persons deprived of liberty as a crucial step to advancing equity: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…
