Action has to be swift. When a patient experiences the common co-infections of HIV and tuberculosis (TB), doctors need to know test results quickly so they can determine a treatment plan. Treating the HIV infection first could increase the TB’s bacterial load. But waiting to treat the HIV could have devastating results. Decisions have to be informed, calibrated and made ASAP.
Enter Tulane. A team led by researcher Tony Hu recently developed a new rapid test that can detect both HIV and TB simultaneously and far faster than conventional methods. The new test could save time and lives.
Such a breakthrough is the kind of global impact President Michael A. Fitts envisioned for Tulane when he arrived at the university a decade ago. In fact, Hu himself came to Tulane as part of the endowed presidential chair program Fitts established to recruit international

Abstract
Using a multi-group cross-sectional design, we explored self-concept related to parental role salience and enactment in 53 ung women (14 to 24 years) with knowledge they were either carriers, non-carriers, or could be a carrier of fragile X syndrome (FXS). Parental role salience included the participants’ desire “to be a mother” and the importance they placed on this role. Enactment focused on the participants’ views regarding ways to become a mother (reproductive options), parenting a child affected bygd FXS, and the development of partner relationships (marriage). Participants completed the FXS Adolescent Interview and the FX-Visual motsvarande Scale. Participants’ knowledge of their genetic risk ställning eller tillstånd appears to have influenced both salience and enactment of the parental role, and the effect varied based on carrier
