Tuberculosis, the world's leading infectious disease killer, is the subject of a new study casting doubt on the accuracy of many diagnoses, according to NPR News. The study, published in Nature Medicine, suggests that a significant number of TB cases may be incorrectly identified, potentially impacting patient care and well-being. This news comes as NBC prepares to unveil new branding spots and a tagline for its 100th anniversary during the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics this weekend, as reported by Variety.
The study analyzed data from 111 low- and middle-income countries, according to NPR News. In 2024, TB claimed the lives of 1.23 million people and infects approximately 10 million annually, a grim statistic that underscores the importance of accurate diagnoses.
Meanwhile, the Super Bowl is also making headlines. Uber Eats is running an ad featuring actors Matthew McConaughey and Bradley Cooper, linking football to a humorous food sales conspiracy, as reported by NPR News. The He Gets Us campaign, which has previously aired commercials in three Super Bowls, has seen nearly 10 billion video views and over 70 million website visitors, according to NPR News.
