Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate how demographic factors influence medical students' attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines and their perceptions of vaccine education in medical school curricula.

Methods: A 28-question anonymous online survey was distributed to 640 medical students at one academic medical institution. Individual attitudes toward vaccines were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), the propagation and spreading of CNS tau pathology closely correlates with cognitive decline, positioning tau as an attractive therapeutic target. Amyloid beta (Aβ) has been strongly implicated in driving tau spread, whereas primary tauopathies such as primary age-related tauopathy (PART)-which lack Aβ pathology-exhibit limited tau spread and minimal-to-no cognitive decline. Emerging evidence converges on a trans-synaptic mechanism of tau spread, facilitated by the transfer of misfolded tau aggregates (e.

Background: The Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus, is responsible for the zoonotic disease known as MPX. Primarily found in western and central Africa, emerging studies indicate a shift in transmission dynamics. Ongoing MPX outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have escalated into significant public health concerns.

Article Synopsis
  • Linezolid-resistant enterococci are on the rise globally, linked to the spread of resistance genes across various environments, including clinical and animal settings.
  • A study in an anorectal surgery ward in Hangzhou, China, analyzed 173 wound secretion samples, finding 15 (8.67%) positive for these resistant enterococci, with the majority being of the ST16 type.
  • The research identified eight variants of the optrA gene and demonstrated that the resistance gene can be transferred between bacterial strains, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring of these resistant infections in healthcare settings.
