Psychological antecedents of vaccine inequity: keys to improve the rates of vaccination.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses the importance of worldwide vaccine coverage of coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) vaccination. This study fills a critical gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and inequity in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This study investigated the determinants of psychological antecedents and other factors behind COVID-19 vaccination and their role in vaccine coverage in MENA.

USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES TO ENHANCE CANCER THERAPY AND DRUG DISCOVERY: A NARRATIVE REVIEW.

Background: This paper looks at how AI and machine learning have been applied over the last ten years to the development of anti-cancer drugs. By speeding up the synthesis of more desirable compounds and the identification of new ones, artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated substantial contributions to the research and therapy of anti-cancer therapies.

Methods: This work is a narrative review that examines numerous uses of AI-based techniques in the development of anti-cancer medications.

Exploring Adiposity and Chronic Kidney Disease: Clinical Implications, Management Strategies, Prognostic Considerations.

Obesity poses a significant and growing risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), requiring comprehensive evaluation and management strategies. This review explores the intricate relationship between obesity and CKD, emphasizing the diverse phenotypes of obesity, including sarcopenic obesity and metabolically healthy versus unhealthy obesity, and their differential impact on kidney function. We discuss the epidemiological evidence linking elevated body mass index (BMI) with CKD risk while also addressing the paradoxical survival benefits observed in obese CKD patients.
