Article Synopsis
- The study examined SARS-CoV-2 immunity in Cameroon from August 2021 to September 2022, assessing changes in antibody levels, mortality rates, and vaccination.
- Seroprevalence surged from 11.2% to nearly 60% while COVID-19-related deaths dropped dramatically, indicating improved immunity without a corresponding rise in vaccinations.
- The findings suggest that high vaccination rates may not be necessary for controlling outbreaks in Africa, urging policymakers to consider local research for better epidemic management strategies.
Over eight million surgical procedures are conducted annually in the United Stats to address organ failure or tissue losses. In response to this pressing need, recent medical advancements have significantly improved patient outcomes, primarily through innovative reconstructive surgeries utilizing tissue grafting techniques. Despite tremendous efforts, repairing damaged tissues remains a major clinical challenge for bioengineers and clinicians.

Aim: The study aimed to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake in Cameroon, and assess changes in these factors over a period of time.
Setting: The study was conducted in the ten regions of Cameroon.
Article Synopsis
- Musculoskeletal disorders are increasing, and while alternatives exist, orthopedic treatments still largely depend on biometal implants due to their strength and compatibility with the body.
- Traditional metallic implants face issues like poor interaction with cells, leading to failure from mechanical mismatches and bacterial infections.
- Recent advancements focus on surface engineering to improve cell-material interactions, with promising developments in smart coatings that can heal themselves or release drugs to reduce infections, highlighting the potential for enhanced implant longevity and effectiveness.
Aging is a complex, multifactorial, and inevitable process, which begins before birth and continues throughout the life. Multimorbidity prevailing among the geriatric population is an important health challenge for most of the developing countries. To examine the effect of gender and increasing age on the survival of the geriatric population suffering from multimorbidity.
