Social media is obsessed with turning every meal into a protein shake, profee, or powder scoop. Our hyperactive obsession with protein is missing the point of true nutrition entirely.

Shorter All-Oral Regimens for Drug-Resistant #TB are Cost-Effective in India: Indian Journal of Medical Research (#ICMR) Study

The study was conducted by ICMR–National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis (ICMR-NIRT). It assessed the cost-effectiveness of bedaquiline-based regimens—BPaL (bedaquiline, pretomanid and linezolid) and BPaLM (with moxifloxacin)—in comparison with the existing bedaquiline-containing shorter (9–11 months) and longer (18–20 months) treatment regimens used under the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP)

The analysis revealed that the BPaL regimen is both more effective and cost-saving. For each additional Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) gained, the health system spends INR 379 less per patient compared to the standard regimen, indicating better health outcomes at lower costs
