Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included.

Tuberculosis diagnostics refers to a tool or test with high sensitivity and specificity for TB diagnosis and tracking the effectiveness of treatment. Tuberculosis diagnostics are used to identify acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in clinical specimens and to detect tuberculosis.

Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the tuberculosis diagnostics market in 2022. The regions covered in the tuberculosis diagnostics report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

The various types of tuberculosis diagnostic markets include radiographic testing, laboratory testing, nucleic acid testing, cytokine detection testing, drug resistance testing, and others.Radiographic tests are used to detect chest abnormalities in the case of tuberculosis symptoms.

The radiographic test refers to the diagnosis of lesions that may develop anywhere in the lungs and vary in terms of cavitation, density, size, and shape.The tests include nucleic acid testing (NAT), skin testing or Mantoux test (TST), blood testing or serology tests, smear microscopy, cultured-based tests, radiography tests, and others, used for disease stages such as latent tuberculosis and active tuberculosis.

The end-users of tuberculosis diagnostics include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, physician's office laboratories, reference laboratories, academic institutions, and research facilities.

The rise in the incidence of tuberculosis is driving the demand for the tuberculosis diagnostics market going forward.Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that affects the lungs and can be severe.

Tuberculosis is spread through coughing and sneezing, releasing tiny germs into the air.Tuberculosis diagnostics aid in patient detection, with earlier diagnosis and detection of diseases.

For instance, in March 2022, in the weekly report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, tuberculosis infections in the United States increased by 9.4% in 2021, with a total of 7,860 TB cases were reported in 2021, an increase from 7,173 cases in 2020 but a decrease from 8,900 cases in 2019. Therefore, the rise in the incidence of tuberculosis is driving the growth of the tuberculosis diagnostics market.

Technological innovations are the key trend gaining popularity in the tuberculosis diagnostics market.Major companies operating in the market are introducing new technologies, such as advanced point-of-care (POC) diagnostic methods that work on AI technology to sustain their position in the market.

Tuberculosis-Infectious Woman Refuses To Get Treatment And Isolate, Putting Public At Risk

When you have a contagious disease like tuberculosis (TB), refusing treatment and refusing to isolate are not personal choices. Such choices affect not only you but also everyone around you, at least those with nostrils or mouths. That's why there is now a warrant for the arrest of a woman in Tacoma, Washington, as reported by KOMO News. She has TB yet for over a year now has refused to be treated or to be isolated. That's two not-to-be's that be bad for preventing the spread of TB. Although Pierce County judge Philip Sorenson signed off on that arrest warrant last month, that TB move doesn't appear to be having much effect as the woman was recently spotted taking public transit and going to a casino.

This has been an "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again fifteen times" situation. So far, there have been 16 court orders for this woman to submit to the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD) for involuntary detention, testing, and treatment. This has meant that a whole lot of taxpayer money has gone into getting one person to take steps to protect not only her own health but also the health of those around her. This would mean taking a medication called isoniazid (INH) in combination with three other drugs: rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. While treatment would last three to nine months, she would have to stay isolated no longer than 45 days or until testing has shown that she is no longer contagious.

TB can result when you breathe in Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that's exhaled by someone who is infected. So if you are infected, you can spread Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the air by coughing, speaking, or singing the Doors song, "Break on Through to the Other Side" or any song for that matter. When you air such infectious grievances, they can hang in the air for others to breath into their lungs. This is why those with active TB are often kept in negative pressure rooms. In this case, negative pressure doesn't mean being in a room with someone who is telling you to do something because you suck. Instead, it's a room where the air pressure inside is lower than the air pressure outside the room. As a result, whenever the door is opened, this pressure difference effectively sucks air into the room so that any dangerous airborne pathogens don't leave the room.

Getting TB is not to be a fun thing. The infection can ravage your lungs as well as other parts of your body such as your kidneys, spine, and brain. Typical symptoms include a chronic cough, coughing up sputum or blood, and chest pain. You may become weak and fatigued, suffer fever, chills, and night sweats, and lose your appetite and weight. You may have any combination of these symptoms. Of course, these symptoms aren't always specific to TB. For example, just because you lose your appetite after watching that vomiting scene in the 2011 movie Bridesmaids doesn't necessarily mean that you have TB.

You can be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis without having symptoms. This is called latent TB. When you have latent TB, you aren't infectious. However, you should still get treatment because latent TB could always become active TB.

Now, TB treatment is not like eating a hot dog. Once you start, you had better finish the entire course. Ending treatment early could end up selecting for and promoting Mycobacterium tuberculosis that's resistant to antibiotics. Taking the full course of treatment makes it more likely that you will wipe out all the Mycobacterium tuberculosis in your body and not just the weaker ones.

Speaking of hot dogs, not too many people relish getting TB. It can be a killer, and not in a positive sense of the word. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that "A total of 1.6 million people died from TB in 2021," and that "Worldwide, TB is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19." While TB in its early stages is very treatable, those who go untreated may have a 50% probability of dying.

So it would totally make sense to get treated if you are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. And it would totally make sense for others to want you to get treated if you are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After all, no one should say, "It would be great for there to be more TB."

As they say, it's all fun and games until someone gets TB. You can cry freedom all you want, but that doesn't mean that you have the freedom to put others in danger.

James Bradshaw Lauded For Efforts At Grand Forks Air Force Base

GRAND FORKS — Without James Bradshaw's lifelong commitment to Grand Forks Air Force Base, this community may not still have the strategic military installation, some local leaders say.

The Association of Defense Communities has recognized that commitment by awarding Bradshaw the Defense Communities Champion Award. The award was presented for the first time at the association's annual meeting last month in Washington, D.C.

Ten recipients, representing communities across the nation, were selected for the honor, which recognizes those who have excelled at creating military-community collaborations that support mission readiness and quality of life for service members, military families and veterans.

Grand Forks County is a member of the Association of Defense Communities.

"The inaugural group of Defense Community Champions demonstrates what it takes to serve a community's military mission, military families and veterans," said ADC President Bob Ross. "Our national security successes and community connections rely on individuals like James who know how to develop relationships and who will help their communities and installations support our military families."

Todd Feland, Grand Forks city administrator, said Bradshaw exemplifies what the award represents, because of Bradshaw's "unconditional love for our country, and for our Grand Forks Air Force Base and the airmen. He has really given unconditionally of his time, his talent and his treasure."

Among many contributions, Bradshaw has served for years on the Grand Forks Regional Base Realignment Impact Committee, or BRIC. Over the years, when local representatives attended BRIC meetings at the Pentagon and other meetings, "Jim always said, 'Keep us in the fight,' " emphasizing the need to keep GFAFB open to maintain national security, said Feland.

"I think because of that, we still have a Grand Forks Air Force Base here ..." Feland said, adding that "the value of Grand Forks Air Force Base looking into the future is going to become greater and greater, and that's thanks to the fight of Jim — and not only fighting, but fighting for what is right. (Bradshaw) always felt that Grand Forks Air Force Base was a strategic asset to defending our liberty, our freedom, and not to be short-sighted in making decisions. He really elevated that conversation."

Because of his dedication to GFAFB, his community and his country, "Jim Bradshaw symbolizes what people mean when they say 'servant leader,' " Feland said.

Col. Tim Curry, wing commander at GFAFB, said the Grand Forks community has fostered the growth of the base "and cared for its airmen for 65 proud years, and Jim Bradshaw has dedicated his life to taking care of our airmen and their families. For that, I speak for the long line of wing commanders when I say, we will always be grateful."

Behind-the-scenes support

Bradshaw has been "a quiet, behind-the-scenes supporter of Grand Forks Air Force Base for five decades," Tom Ford, Grand Forks County's director of administration, said in a nomination document. "He is one who never looks for the spotlight."

"His wisdom and passion over his many decades of supporting GFAFB has been a hallmark and driving force in the relationship between the community and the base," Ford said.

Bradshaw's support of GFAFB is exemplified through his service on the BRIC and other ways, said Ford, "whether it was supporting major infrastructure projects or serving as an ambassador to (the base), opening up his home for airmen over the holidays if they didn't have a place to go.

"He considers supporting the air base his duty as a citizen of the U.S.," Ford said. For years he has "selflessly supported the commanders, the airman, the families, supporting and advocating for new missions. However he's been needed, he has stepped up, over and over, to support the air base."

Timothy Curry, Tom Swoyer, James Bradshaw, Mayor Brandon Bochenski, City Administrator Todd Feland, Lt. Gen. Rusty Findley, and Grand Forks Chamber CEO Barry Wilfahrt.

Bruce Gjovig, who serves as U.S. Air Force civic leader, said Bradshaw "deserves national recognition" as one of the first recipients of the Defense Community Champion Award.

"He is an exemplary community leader who has had a significant impact on our community through his leadership in business, Air Force Base retention, and selfless community service. He has an amazing record of making a difference to our community as a servant leader …"

Early commitment

As a young man, Bradshaw wanted to serve in the military, but, while he was attending UND, his father died unexpectedly. His family was counting on him to help run the family business, Strata Corp., a construction and construction materials company, Ford said. He stayed home and began a career in business leadership that spans 58 years.

Some of his close friends did serve in the military in Vietnam; two were killed in action.

"Their names were Gary and Mel," Bradshaw said in an ADC profile. "I know what they'd have told me — it wouldn't have been really good English, either — it would be to get going and do something, don't sit there like a witness."

That led to Bradshaw becoming active in "serving in any way he can" the service members and their families at GFAFB, Ford said.

Bradshaw has served as an honorary wing commander and honorary squadron commander and is one of a small cadre of community ambassadors at GFAFB. In 2012, he became the first and only Grand Forks citizen to be named honorary chief master sergeant.
