Background: SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with a higher proportion of asymptomatic infections and lower mortality in sub-Saharan Africa than high-income countries. However, there is currently a lack of data on cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 in people living in Africa compared with people in high-income regions of the world. We aimed to assess geographical variation in peripheral and mucosal immune responses.

The main research questions of this review were as follows: (1) "How do 3D-assisted versus 2D-assisted distal radius fracture surgery compare in terms of intraoperative metrics (i.e.

Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted in which four databases were systematically searched for the period January 2007 to November 2024. All articles were reviewed by two independent authors and asses for quality using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the views and experiences of individuals who have had major lower limb amputations due to blood circulation issues, focusing on their nutritional habits and challenges.
- Thirteen participants shared insights through interviews, leading to four key themes: food choices are influenced by non-health factors, there is a lack of understanding about nutrition's impact on health, support for nutrition mainly comes from personal networks rather than professionals, and there is minimal motivation to change eating habits.
- The study emphasizes the need for better awareness of healthy eating and suggests that personalized nutritional care, using motivational interviewing techniques, could enhance health outcomes for these individuals.
Transcription-associated proteins (TAPs) fulfill multiple functions in regulatory and developmental processes and display lineage-specific evolution. TAPscan is a comprehensive and highly reliable tool for genome-wide TAP annotation via domain profiles. Here, we present TAPscan v4, including an updated web interface (https://tapscan.
