This Article supports SDG 3 by investigating the role of CD8+ T cell count on suppressive ART as a predictor of clinical progression in HIV, suggesting its potential use as a clinical biomarker in evaluations of novel therapies for ongoing immune dysfunction during treated infection.
Background: An alarming number of public health-care facilities in low-income and middle-income countries lack basic water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), and waste management services. This study estimates the costs of achieving full coverage of basic WASH and waste services in existing public health facilities in the 46 UN designated least-developed countries (LDCs). Methods: In this modelling study, in-need facilities were quantified by combining published counts of public facilities with estimated basic WASH and waste service coverage.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 6 by assessing the level of hand hygiene implementation and its drivers in health-care facilities through a global WHO survey; 25% of health-care facilities in low-income and middle-income countries were found to lack basic hygiene services, including access to clean water.
This study supports SDGs 3 and 6 by reporting findings from the first WHO global survey assessing infection prevention and control programme implementation at the facility level, and highlighting key gaps: for example, only 68% (302 of 446) of low-income countries had continuously available water services.
Globally, about 18 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year1 and 450 million people (equally composed of both sexes) suffer from severe mental illnesses (SMI).

Despite its significant adverse impacts on the environment, society, and economy, food waste is unavoidable around the world. The increase in population and income will worsen the situation and put more pressure on food security.
Cirium develops a methodology to calculate the most accurate, historic, and predicted flight emissions data in the marketplace. This will allow airlines to track the fuel efficiency of their operations and customers to track and choose the lowest possible carbon footprint when they travel. This supports climate action and SDG 13.
Wheat is a major staple food in many diets worldwide. Authors identify a rapid and robust method for identifying fungi-infected damage to wheat crops, with the aim of reducing economic losses and hunger.
