Review of 52 Studies Finds Low but Hidden Malaria Burden Among Mobile Populations in Mekong Border and Forest Areas
This synthesis mapped malaria evidence among migrant and mobile populations in the Greater Mekong Subregion across epidemiology, access, prevention, and health-system challenges. Of 847 records, 52 studies met inclusion criteria. Reported burden was generally low but highly variable, with hidden reservoirs from asymptomatic or submicroscopic infection in border and forest settings. Structural barriers contributed to delayed diagnosis, inconsistent prevention, and reliance on informal or cross-border care. The review exposes intervention-evaluation gaps rather than proving which approach works best.

An international expert statement spanning 22 countries reviews links among food systems, cardiometabolic health and the Sustainable Development Goals. It advocates plant-forward traditional diets rich in whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit, nuts and spices, with meat used sparingly.
The multicentre survey analysed 604 patients from 25 Thai hospitals between December 2023 and March 2024. SSRIs accounted for 70.2% of prescriptions, followed by TCAs at 13.9% and trazodone at 12.7%. The most common diagnoses were depressive disorders (55.0%), substance use disorders (15.2%) and psychotic disorders (13.7%). Clinicians cited limited availability (21.9%), reimbursement arrangements (36.3%) and patient finances (33.9%) as prescribing constraints.
A post hoc analysis of the DEN-301 placebo arm followed 30,620.6 person-years, identifying 560 virologically confirmed dengue cases among 9,698 febrile illnesses; 142 cases, or 25.4%, were hospitalized.
A 20-year-old man on automated peritoneal dialysis developed vague abdominal symptoms, weight loss and declining ultrafiltration. Repeated dialysate cultures, acid-fast staining and molecular tests were negative despite mononuclear-predominant leukocytosis. Contrast CT identified peritoneal nodules, CT peritoneography showed a trapped dialysate pocket, and targeted biopsy demonstrated necrotising granulomatous inflammation. Tissue culture grew M. kansasii resistant to rifampicin, moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin.
HITAP reviewed 278 HTA capacity-strengthening activities in 25 countries from 2010 to mid-2025. Asia accounted for 151 activities and 128 engagements were programmatic rather than ad hoc. Knowledge sharing represented 26% and research or project collaboration 21%. Among 11 African partner countries, only three had programmatic engagement, accounting for 30 activities.
Morphology combined with ITS, LSU, rpb2 and β-tub phylogenies distinguished Nigropunctata pseudohydei as a new species and confirmed the first Thai record of N. complanata.

An eight-country perspective argues that telemedicine, wearables and home sensors, augmented AI and mobile health can distribute expertise, observe symptoms between visits and support self-management, particularly where neurologists are scarce. Impact depends on infrastructure, interoperability, workforce, governance and equity-first hybrid care, not devices alone.
DJC6219 and NK62157 were isolated from municipal wastewater and characterised through host-range assays, electron microscopy, stability, multiplicity-of-infection optimisation, growth kinetics and genomics.
The authors review challenges in estimating preventable AMR burden and advocate explicit counterfactuals, confounding control and principled combination of individual studies.

Ten Asia-Pacific experts developed 11 consensus statements on mild traumatic brain injury and use of GFAP/UCH-L1 within 12 hours. Final agreement was 90-100%, emphasizing biomarkers as adjuncts while clinical assessment and locally available imaging remain central.
RGD-functionalized cannabidiol lipid nanoparticles increased cellular uptake threefold and in-vitro BBB transport by 65%, while reducing inflammatory and oxidative markers. In a preclinical Alzheimer's model, cognition, Aβ/tau pathology, metabolism and gut-barrier indicators improved. The findings are promising but not evidence in patients.
Researchers used the UNDRR Stop Disasters online game with students, water professionals and community members in Thailand and Malaysia. A post-game survey of 35 participants found high enjoyment, lively interaction and perceived reinforcement of declarative flood-management knowledge.
