Three articles published this week in PLOS Medicine:

Frank Cobelens and colleagues systematically reviewed research on implementation and cost-effectiveness of the WHO-recommended interventions for tuberculosis.

Gretchen Stevens and colleagues used information from demographic reproductive health surveys to estimate the global, regional, and country levels, patterns, and trends in infertility between 1990 and 2010.

Unni Karunakara and Frances Stevenson argue that humanitarian policy and practice must adapt to ensure that the needs of older people in humanitarian emergencies are addressed.
