Immune history shapes human antibody responses to H5N1 influenza viruses.

Avian H5N1 influenza viruses are circulating widely in cattle and other mammals and pose a risk for a human pandemic. Previous studies suggest that older humans are more resistant to H5N1 infections due to childhood imprinting with other group 1 viruses (H1N1 and H2N2); however, the immunological basis for this is incompletely understood. Here we show that antibody titers to historical and recent H5N1 strains are highest in older individuals and correlate more strongly with year of birth than with age, consistent with immune imprinting.

Identifying the impact of climate variables on biological and chemical contaminants of preharvest foods and their associated food safety risks: a scoping review protocol.

Background: Foodborne and waterborne illnesses affect over four million Canadians annually and pose a preventable burden on the nation's healthcare system. Climate change can increase the risk of such illnesses by increasing the likelihood of exposure to contaminants. As climate change progresses, it is imperative to better understand its impact on the dissemination of foodborne and waterborne contaminants throughout the food system.

Comparative Analysis of Hemostasis and Staple-Line Integrity between Medtronic Tri-Staple with Preloaded Buttress Material and the AEON Stapler in Bariatric Surgery.

Background And Objectives: Haemostasis-related complications associated with Medtronic Tri-staple with preloaded buttress material and the novel, naked AEON gastrointestinal staplers have not been extensively studied in bariatric surgery. The study aimed to assess and compare the 30-day haemostasis-related complications between Medtronic Tri-staple and AEON GIA staplers.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on data from patients who underwent primary or revision sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or the sleeve component of single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with SG (SADI-S) in a private hospital in Australia between November 2021 and December 2022.

Profile of Irish female GPs and factors affecting long-term commitment: a descriptive study.

Background: Over the past two decades, many countries have reported an increased percentage of female staff in the general practice workforce. Considering the importance of general practice workforce planning, it is necessary to investigate the current working patterns of female GPs.

Aim: To describe the female GP workforce in Ireland and to investigate factors that may affect their long-term commitment to general practice.

An Occupational Perspective on Psychedelic Therapy: A Scoping Review.

Interest in the use of psychedelics for mental health therapy is burgeoning. Qualitative research methods are increasingly used to understand patient's experiences; however, there is a lack of literature that explores psychedelic use from an occupational perspective. To conduct a scoping review of qualitative literature on the experiences of psychedelic use for the purpose of mental health therapy, through an occupational lens.
