Acute-Phase Serum Amyloid A: An Inflammatory Adipokine and Potential Link between Obesity and Its Metabolic Complications

Da-Wei Gong and colleagues from the University of Maryland show that higher levels in obese individuals of acute-phase serum amyloid A, which is secreted by adipose tissue, may contribute to the chronic low-level inflammatory state that puts such individuals at higher risk for cardiovascular complications.

Improving Imperfect Data from Health Management Information Systems in Africa Using Space-Time Geostatistics

Peter Gething and colleagues from the University of Southampton combine incomplete data on malaria in Kenyan outpatients from a health management information system with a geostatistical modelling framework to predict values for the missing data and thus allow evidence-based decision making and allocation of resources.
