A Longitudinal Interview Study of People with Long COVID: Uncertainties, Liminality, and Processes of Becoming.

Current estimates indicate around 6% of US adults have experienced long COVID symptoms. Given the novelty of both COVID and long COVID, those who continue to be ill after an initial SARS-CoV-2 infection have little precedence on which to rely when navigating the medical (e.g.

Clinician Perspectives Highlight the Need for Early Dyadic Coping Skills for People Living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Context: A diagnosis of ALS can be challenging, and many people find ways to adapt. At the same time, emotional distress can arise early after an ALS diagnosis even when high quality multidisciplinary care is provided. When emotional distress occurs, it can become chronic over time, and can affect both the person living with ALS and their care-partner (together called a dyad).

Size and canopy characteristics of community reserves determine primate occupancy in the state of Meghalaya, India, and implications for its conservation.

Globally, the effective protected area network is one of the last resorts for conserving biodiversity. The nature of protected areas depends on the land ownership of the respective countries including India. The landholding in the northeastern states of India remains with native people, thus, 'Community Reserve' (CR) was introduced in 2003.

Immunological mechanisms of tuberculosis susceptibility in TB-infected individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus: insights from mycobacterial growth inhibition assay and cytokine analysis.

Unlabelled: Several studies have highlighted the increased risk of active tuberculosis (TB) in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), especially in TB-endemic regions. This dual burden poses significant challenges for TB control efforts. However, there is a lack of reliable laboratory tools to identify individuals at higher risk, and the immunological mechanisms underlying this susceptibility are poorly understood.
