This article supports SDG 3 as chronic hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) infections represent significant public health issues internationally. This paper aims to evaluate the efficacy of hepatitis B vaccination in HCV-related chronic liver disease and identify possible factors that may contribute to hypo-responsiveness in those patients.
This Article supports SDG 3 as the results show that two doses of the HEV 239 vaccine produces broad and likely functional immune responses against HEV that remain for at least two years. The safety profile was acceptable and a phase four study of HEV 239 in rural Bangladesh is feasible.
This article ties to SDG 3. This scoping review looks at the role of place in refugee mental health.
This paper looks at the effect of the SARS-CoV2 vaccination on people living in HIV, in terms of their immune responses.
This study investigated the survival and predictors of mortality among HIV/AIDS patients that started taking antiretroviral therapy.
Background: In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), thoracic morphology and its role in respiratory function is conditioned by anthropometric factors, as well as by pathological changes. While the lungs are continuously monitored, examinations of potential thoracic cage adaptations to the disease are rare. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate thoracic configuration, and its correlation to spirometry measures over time. Methods: In total, 344 high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) examinations from 90 patients were assessed and analysed. Those results were subsequently related to spirometry measurements performed within the same period. Results: The cohort displayed no homogenous change in thoracic configuration over time, and correlation between thoracic area and spirometry variables could not be supported statistically. Conclusions: Although the current study included a larger cohort of patients with CF compared to previous studies on thoracic morphology, no patient group-specific changes in thoracic configuration were revealed. Furthermore, no correlations between structural findings and functional respiratory measurements were found.
The article discusses the urgent need for alternative food sources due to growing food security challenges exacerbated by overpopulation, pandemics, political conflicts, and climate change. Microalgae are highlighted as promising alternative protein sources due to their high protein content, essential amino acids, and environmental benefits. However, challenges like cultivation costs, protein extraction, and sensory qualities need to be addressed. The article advocates for the use of systems biology and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize the growth and protein yield of microalgae, leveraging omics data and computational models for improved outcomes.
This article ties to SDG 3. Analyzing relations among neuronal, endocrine, immune, and biochemical signatures of trauma and internalizing and externalizing behaviors, including the role of personality traits in shaping these conducts, this review highlights that the marked effects of traumatic experience on the brain/body involve changes at nearly every level of analysis, from brain structure, function and connectivity to endocrine and immune systems, from gene expression (including in the gut) to the development of personality.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 5, focusing on assessing cardiovascular mortality risk in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, compared with normal blood pressure during pregnancy.
The editorial calls for action to reduce noise pollution that has detrimental impact on humans, terrestrial and marine life
