Recent findings The public health approach to tackling HIV in low-income and middle-income settings relied on standardized treatment regimens and monitoring approaches, task sharing and community involvement, and decentralized and integrated service delivery. These approaches can all be applied to three key epidemics that commonly co-occur with HIV TB, viral hepatitis, and STIs. Summary HIV, viral hepatitis, and STIs share common routes of infection, and HIV weakens the immune system, increasing the risk of TB. A public health approach can be applied to address these syndemics.Background Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) techniques have been shown to improve implant placement and reduce the radiation time during cephalomedullary nailing in cadaveric and pilot clinical studies of intertrochanteric hip fractures. However, clinical comparisons of CAS and conventional techniques are lacking. It is unclear whether CAS offers clear advantages in terms of radiation time, operative time, and accuracy of lag-screw placement in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric hip fractures and whether any potential difference in accuracy is associated with a change in the risk of lag-screw cut-out postoperatively. Questions/purposes In patients undergoing cephalomedullary nailing for intertrochanteric hip fractures compared with the conventional technique, we asked (1) Is the CAS technique associated with a decrease in tip-apex distance (TAD), with less variation and fewer outliers at the standard (25 mm) and lower (15 mm) TAD thresholds? (2) Is the CAS technique associated with a decrease inullary nailing. Compared with the conventional technique, fewer outliers were noted with the CAS at the s
