Abstract
BACKGROUND: Adverse effects (AE) to TB treatment cause morbidity, mortality and treatment interruption. The aim of these clinical standards is to encourage best practise for the diagnosis and management of AE.METHODS: 65/81 invited experts participated in a Delphi process using a 5-point Likert scale to score draft standards.RESULTS: We identified eight clinical standards. Each person commencing treatment for TB should: Standard 1, be counselled regarding AE before and during treatment; Standard 2, be evaluated for factors that might increase AE risk with regular review to actively identify and manage these; Standard 3, when AE occur, carefully assessed and possible allergic or hypersensitivity reactions considered; Standard 4, receive appropriate care to minimise morbidity and mortality associated with AE; Standard 5, be restarted on TB drugs after a serious AE according to a standardised protocol that includes active drug safety monitoring. In addition: Standard 6, healthcare workers should be trained on AE including how to counsel people undertaking TB treatment, as well as active AE monitoring and management; Standard 7, there should be active AE monitoring and reporting for all new TB drugs and regimens; and Standard 8, knowledge gaps identified from active AE monitoring should be systematically addressed through clinical research.CONCLUSION: These standards provide a person-centred, consensus-based approach to minimise the impact of AE during TB treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Optimal drug dosing is important to ensure adequate response to treatment, prevent development of drug resistance and reduce drug toxicity. The aim of these clinical standards is to provide guidance on 'best practice´ for dosing and management of TB drugs.METHODS: A panel of 57 global experts in the fields of microbiology, pharmacology and TB care were identified; 51 participated in a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale was used to score draft standards. The final document represents the broad consensus and was approved by all participants.RESULTS: Six clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, defining the most appropriate initial dose for TB treatment; Standard 2, identifying patients who may be at risk of sub-optimal drug exposure; Standard 3, identifying patients at risk of developing drug-related toxicity and how best to manage this risk; Standard 4, identifying patients who can benefit from therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM); Standard 5, highlighting education and counselling that should be provided to people initiating TB treatment; and Standard 6, providing essential education for healthcare professionals. In addition, consensus research priorities were identified.CONCLUSION: This is the first consensus-based Clinical Standards for the dosing and management of TB drugs to guide clinicians and programme managers in planning and implementation of locally appropriate measures for optimal person-centred treatment to improve patient care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the outcomes of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) transported to hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. METHODS This was a multi-centre observational study of patients presenting with OHCA to one of five tertiary care hospital EDs in Hanoi from 2017 to 2019. RESULTS We analysed data from 239 OHCA cases of which 70.7% were witnessed, and 8.4% received bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The emergency medical services (EMS) transported 20.5% of cases to hospital with the remaining being transported by private vehicle. No patients received external defibrillation before arriving to hospital. Return of spontaneous circulation in hospital was 33.1%, with 3.8% of patients survived to hospital discharge and only one patient (0.4%) discharged from hospital with a favourable neurological outcome. CONCLUSIONS In cases of OHCA in Hanoi, both the proportion of cases receiving bystander CPR and EMS transportation were small. Urgent investments in pre-hospital capacity, training and capabilities are required to improve outcomes for OHCA in Hanoi.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few innovative anti-microbial products have been brought to market in recent years to combat the global multidrug resistant-tuberculosis (MDR-TB) epidemic. Bedaquiline, a novel oral diarylquinoline, was approved by the US FDA as a part of combination therapy in adults with pulmonary MDR-TB based on phase II trials. AREA COVERED Pubmed searches were conducted using search terms bedaquiline, diarylquinoline, R207910, and TMC207 was performed. Supplementary sources included World Health Organization, Clinicaltrial.gov, US Food and Drug Administration. Bedaquiline is an ATP synthase inhibitor specific for M. tuberculosis and some nontuberculous mycobacteria. It is metabolized by CYP3A4 and it's drug exposure can be influenced by inducers and inhibitors of this enzyme. Phase II studies showed promising results on efficacy of bedaquiline when being used in combination with a background regimen for MDR-TB. Main safety concerns include QTc prolongation and hepatotoxicity. Phase III trials are ongoing to confirm efficacy findings from phase II studies and provide additional evidence of safety and efficacy. Expert commentary: Critical data for long-term efficacy and safety are incomplete and scarce, supporting the cautious use of bedaquiline.

METHODS A simulated patient method combined with an interview in 128 randomly selected private pharmacies and 10 private pharmacies near TB hospitals. RESULTS In the simulated patient method and interview, respectively 59 (46%) and 70 (55%) of HCPs referred the TB suspect to general health care. Only 11 (9%) referred the simulated patient to a TB care facility. Fifty-two (42%) of the HCPs identified suspected TB from a fictitious case described on paper; 34 (27%) were aware that free treatment was provided under the National Tuberculosis Programme (NTP). Knowledge about free NTP treatment predicted a higher rate of direct referrals to TB facilities (OR 5.80, 95%CI 1.88-19.62) and greater ability to identify suspected TB from a fictitious case on paper (OR 5.14, 95%CI 2.36-11.73). Pharmacies with Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) certification were less likely to refer simulated patients to TB facilities than non-GPP pharmacies (OR 0.10, 95%CI ≤0.01-0.79). CONCLUSIONS Nearly half of HCPs in private pharmacies do not refer TB suspects, possibly contributing to delays in diagnosis and treatment. Knowledge about free NTP treatment predicted better performance of HCPs.

Abstract
The coracoclavicular ligaments vary widely in morphology and anatomic descriptions. Few authors have adequately described the coracoclavicular ligaments' anatomy, and a number of discrepancies exist in the anatomy literature. This study examines the complex anatomy of the coracoclavicular ligaments and their relationships to clinically important bony landmarks. The geometric dimensions of 24 coracoclavicular ligament specimens from fresh human cadaveric shoulders were examined and quantified with 13 different measurements. Particular attention was given to any inter-specimen anatomic variance. The coracoid insertions of the conoid ligaments displayed high variance, with 33% (8/24) being confluent with the lateral fibers of the superior transverse scapular ligament. A further 15% (3/24) presented an additional lateral fascicle. The distance from the lateral trapezoid ligament to the distal clavicle averaged 15.3 mm. Three distinct and previously unreported conoid ligament variants lend themselves to an anatomic classification (types I, II, and III). A safety margin of 15 mm is suggested for distal clavicle resection in incomplete acromioclavicular joint injuries to preserve the intact coracoclavicular ligament.

Abstract
Bioassay-directed fractionation led to the isolation of 14 compounds, six of which possess antimalarial activity, from the dried leaves and stems of Rhaphidophora decursiva. Polysyphorin (1) and rhaphidecurperoxin (6) showed strong activities against Plasmodium falciparum. Rhaphidecursinol A (2), rhaphidecursinol B (3), grandisin (4), and epigrandisin (5) were less active against the same organism. Among the isolates, rhaphidecursinol A (2) and rhaphidecursinol B (3) were determined to be new neolignans, and rhaphidecurperoxin (6) is a new benzoperoxide. Known compounds isolated include polysyphorin (1), grandisin (4), epigrandisin (5), (+)-medioresinol, (-)-pinoresinol, (-)-syringaresinol, (+)-glaberide I, (+)-dehydrovomifoliol, (-)-liliolide, (-)-hydroxydihydrobovolide, and N-butylbenzamide, of which compound 1 appears worthy of further evaluation as an antimalarial agent. Structure elucidation and identification were accomplished by spectroscopic means including 1D and 2D NMR analyses.

Abstract
An investigation of the complex boundaries between adjacent lobes and segments in human cadaveric lungs was undertaken to provide information for the later construction of a three-dimensional model of the segmental and subsegmental anatomy of the human lungs. This was performed by analyzing scanned cross-sections of the lungs after color-coded gelatin had been injected into segmental bronchi and the lungs embedded in gelatin and frozen. The resulting images provided information regarding the pattern of boundaries present between both lobes and segments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The investigation of pulmonary embolism using scintigraphic tomography requires a model of the internal architecture of the segments and subsegments in the human lung. Such a model has been developed by the segmentation and subsegmentation of an existing whole-body tissue-segmented phantom. MATERIALS AND METHODS By using information from suitably windowed human axial CT scans, combined with the information gained from the injection of color-coded dyes into the segmental bronchi of human cadaveric lungs, the lobar and segmental boundaries were added to the existing phantom. Further refinements were added from reports in the literature regarding the predominant pattern of subsegmental bronchi in a series of human cadavers, enabling the creation of subsegmental boundaries. RESULTS A digitized model of the segmental and subsegmental anatomy of the human lung was successfully created. External, or pleural, projections of the complex internal arrangement of the segments closely corresponded with the projections of the best available authorities on the subject. CONCLUSION The model provides the opportunity to address several issues germane to scintigraphy and important for diagnosing pulmonary embolic disease. In particular, the model allows the manipulation of three-dimensional data sets to explore issues of importance to tomographic lung scanning.

Abstract
The changes in distribution and density of the serotoninergic innervation of the cerebral cortex were studied in kittens from birth (PO) to 60 days of age (P59). Three cortical areas were sampled: prefrontal, primary auditory, and primary visual areas. Two systems of serotoninergic axons were demonstrated by immunocytochemical techniques: the fine axon system characterized by small fusiform varicosities up to 1 micron in diameter, and the beaded axon system, the fibers of which have round varicosities up to 5 microns in diameter. The density of the two types of fibers across the cortical layers at different ages was measured with a semiautomatic computerized system. In all three areas, the density of fine axons increased steadily from birth, although the pattern of innervation changed from an even distribution at PO to a distinct concentration of the fibers in layers I-III by week 2 in the prefrontal cortex and by week 3 in auditory and visual cortices. By contrast, the beaded axons first appeared in the cortex at week 2 for the prefrontal cortex, at week 3 in auditory and visual areas. Initially, these fibers were distributed throughout all cortical layers and were of much lower density than the fine axons. At later ages the beaded axons became confined to layers I-III where they gradually increased in number, and from week 4, they formed pericellular arrays which were only observed in the prefrontal and auditory cortices, not in visual cortex. These findings provide further evidence for the existence of two parallel subsystems of serotoninergic axons which are different not only in their morphology and nuclear origin, but also in their development. Our finding that the two serotoninergic fiber systems arrive in the cortex in two different stages suggests that they have differential roles in development. The late formation of the pericellular arrays indicates that the formation of the specific connections made by the beaded fibers could be dependent on a certain degree of maturity of the target neurons.
