We collected data from 426 infants enrolled in the Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital respiratory disease surveillance platform to estimate the household and health system costs of managing RSV and other respiratory pathogens in Malawian infants. Total household cost per illness episode, including direct and indirect costs and lost income, was reported by parents/guardians at the initial visit and 6 weeks post discharge. The total cost to the health system was based on patient charts and hospital expenditures. All-cause acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and RSV costs for inpatient and outpatients are presented separately. All costs are in the 2018 US Dollar. The mean costs per RSV episode were $62.26 (95% confidence interval [CI] $50.87-$73.66) and $12.51 (95% CI $8.24-$16.79) for inpatient and outpatient cases, respectively. The meanial impact of RSV and acute respiratory illness preventive interventions in Malawi. Primary frozen shoulder (pFS) has three phases that differ in clinical presentation. It is characterized by contracture of the joint capsule. We hypothesized that there is a general upregulation of collagens in pFS, and that this is highest in the first phase of the disease. The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of various collagens and degradation of collagens in patients with primary pFS and relate this to the three phases of the condition. From twenty-six patients with pFS and eight control patients with subacromial impingement, biopsies were obtained during shoulder arthroscopy from the middle glenohumeral ligament and the anterior capsule, and mRNA levels for collagens, MMP-2 and -14 and TGF-β1, - β2 and -β3 in the tissue were analysed using real-time PCR. Genes for collagens type I, III, IV, V, VI and X
