Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the Chagas Western Blot IgG assay as a confirmatory serologic test, showing 100% sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. The method was found to be a simple and quick diagnostic tool for Chagas disease, with potential for use in large-scale studies.

Summary: This paper conducts a scientometric analysis of global academic production on the SDGs from 2015 to 2020, using the Web of Science (WoS) database. The results show that over five thousand research papers have been published on the SDGs, mainly in the field of green and sustainable sciences. The analysis reveals the emergence of prolific authors and schools of knowledge in key topics such as climate change, health, and global governance, but also highlights existing research gaps.

Summary: The study evaluated two algorithms for the diagnosis of chronic and congenital Chagas disease, with CMIA showing potential as a single diagnostic test in non-endemic countries and the revised algorithm with the >= 6 S/CO proving to be an efficient method for chronic CD diagnosis. For infants with congenital infection, CMIA could potentially be used as a single test for screening at 10 months or earlier, but further research is needed.

Summary: This study evaluated the successes and challenges of the malaria vaccine implementation program in Ghana, finding that the vaccine introduction process was smooth and contributed to an improvement in routine immunization services. The vaccine had a positive impact on under five malaria morbidity. The study recommends a phased subnational approach for nationwide scale-up of the vaccine, along with intensive advocacy, community engagement, and regular supportive supervision.

Summary: Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, has developed mechanisms of antigenic variability to evade the host immune response. CD8(+) T cells play a key role in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy, and specific peptide stimulation can activate multifunctional immune responses. Anti-parasitic treatment improves CD8(+) T cell response, and the quality of CD8(+) T cell responses correlates with the outcome of chronic infection. These findings provide valuable resources for discovering new biomarkers, vaccines, and immunotherapy strategies.

Summary: Based on literature data, a QSAR model was developed to predict the activity of TSCs. New TSCs were designed and tested against CZP, resulting in highly potent inhibitors. Molecular docking and QM/QM ONIOM refinement studies confirmed the expected binding mode for the active TSCs. Kinetic experiments showed that the new TSCs act through the formation of a reversible covalent adduct. These findings highlight the effectiveness of QSAR and molecular modeling techniques in the design of potent CZ/CZP inhibitors.
