- - MERS-CoV, with a high mortality rate, causes severe respiratory illness, highlighting the urgent need for effective therapeutic vaccines against the virus.
- - This review analyzes immune responses in the upper and lower respiratory tracts to MERS-CoV, focusing on key players such as macrophages, T cells, and B cells that produce antiviral substances to combat infection.
- - While innate and adaptive immune systems show potential to control MERS-CoV, research on human mucosal immune responses is limited due to the lack of relevant tissue studies, indicating a need for deeper investigation.
Background: Obesity and overweight are major health problems in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Concern about increasing carbapenem and piperacillin/tazobactam use led the Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group (SAPG) to develop national guidance on optimal use of these agents, and to implement a quality improvement programme to assess the impact of guidance on practice.
Objectives: To evaluate how SAPG guidance had been implemented by health boards, assess how this translated into clinical practice, and investigate clinicians' views and behaviours about prescribing carbapenems and alternative agents.
Methods: Local implementation of SAPG guidance was assessed using an online survey.
