Background: Brain Injury Case management involves coordinating and organizing services and systems around people with acquired brain injuries' and their families. This review aimed to answer the question: What is the current available evidence for the use of case management in supporting survivors of ABI?
Methods: Searches were conducted in seven databases (Medline (all), CINAHL, Embase, PsychInfo, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed), using a search strategy based on key terms: 'case management' and 'brain injury.' Quality of studies was assessed by the Mixed Methods Assessment Tool (MMAT), and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklists.
Intestinal mucins play a crucial role in the mucosal barrier, serving as the body's initial defense against microorganisms. However, how the host regulates the secretion and glycosylation of these mucins in response to bacterial invasion remains unclear. Our study demonstrates that when exposed to (), a gut pathobiont, the host mucosa promptly adjusts the behavior of specialized goblet cells (GCs) located in the middle of the crypts.

Delivering multiple antigens individually, however, complicates manufacturing and increases cost, thus it would be beneficial to express both proteins from a single mRNA.
