What should we consider when discussing new treatments for primary sclerosing cholangitis?

We welcome the correction to the Seminar by Erik von Seth and colleagues,1 which clarifies that no vancomycin-resistant enterococci were found in published studies of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis treated with oral vancomycin. The incidence reported initially in the Seminar (8·7%) has been corrected to 0%.1

What steps can countries take together to better prepare for and respond to natural disasters like floods?

On Aug 26, 2026, glacial lake outburst floods affecting Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts in Nepal swept away entire communities, killing 1204 people (as established by recovery of deceased bodies and body parts), with around 4216 people reported missing (as of Sept 2, 2026).1 Global media reported this catastrophic disaster as a Himalayan tsunami.2 Nestled in the Himalayas, Nepal faces an ongoing climate threat and is further vulnerable due to settlements along riverbanks. There are thousands of glacial lakes storing meltwater, and their number is increasing as global temperatures rise, making them akin to ticking time bombs

How can Uganda and DR Congo work together to improve health responses during crises like Ebola?

The declaration on July 28, 2026, that the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in Uganda had ended marks a crucial milestone in outbreak control.1 WHO considers an Ebola outbreak resolved 42 consecutive days after the second negative PCR test result of the last patient, or their safe burial.2 Although this threshold effectively captures the interruption of transmission, it remains strictly epidemiological. In reality, the true end of an epidemic is not a singular event but a complex clinical, health system, and social transition that extends far beyond the final detected case

How can we better address the connection between HIV and sepsis in global health policies?

We read with interest the Seminar by Mervyn Singer and colleagues,1 which highlights advances and ongoing challenges in sepsis pathobiology and therapeutics. The authors discuss immunosuppression as a key modifier of sepsis risk, clinical presentation, and outcomes, particularly among individuals with organ transplantation, autoimmune disease, and malignancy.1 However, despite being a major determinant of sepsis epidemiology and outcomes in high-burden settings, HIV co-infection is left unmentioned

How might the discovery of plasma biomarkers for Alzheimer's in middle-aged people affect health policies and community support programs?

Alzheimer's disease has a long preclinical phase in which neuropathological changes, such as amyloid β (Aβ) and tau pathology, accumulate over many years.1 This preclinical phase provides an opportunity for earlier disease detection and interventions to prevent or delay dementia. Emerging blood-based biomarkers provide a minimally invasive approach to assess Alzheimer's disease-related pathology and show promising diagnostic and prognostic value in symptomatic individuals.2 However, performance of these biomarkers in cognitively unimpaired, middle-aged populations remains unclear

How can we improve our humanitarian system to better address inequalities and support mutual aid efforts?

The humanitarian system presents itself as a beacon of hope amid humanitarian crises, a vision that drew many of us into the field of humanitarian work. Yet once inside, the ideal unravels. Rooted in colonial histories and perpetuated by enduring global power asymmetries and the neoliberal logic of the aid sector, the humanitarian system frequently reinforces the very inequities it purports to resolve.1 These inequities manifest through policies and frameworks, as well as via interpersonal and cultural practices that, implicitly or explicitly, marginalise the most vulnerable

How should we change our approach to global health to make it better for everyone?

The Offline piece1 by Richard Horton is right that global health is on the brink: funding is collapsing, political volatility persists unabated, and powerful actors are renegotiating international engagement. But the answer is not simply a new narrative organised around climate, pandemics, conflict, migration, demography, or digital transformation. What global health requires is structural reorientation
