SARS-CoV2 is dramatically impacting the global population. Worldwide, pharmacists are changing their roles and being increasingly recognized for their role as essential service providers. This commentary provides some examples collected from Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa, ranging from essential services to meet human rights basic needs, extended generalist services developed to ensure continuity of care and supply of essential medicines to the development of differentiated extended responsibilities in emergency care. All examples were collected using a network of pharmacists from 27 countries, representing various areas of pharmacy practice, education and research and outreaching to include patient advocates. Selected services illustrate good practice, capability to adapt and contribution to universal health coverage. Above all, it demonstrates the commitment and innovation of the pharmaceutical workforce in the fight against COVID-19.

Background: APOE is well recognized to be the most influential susceptibility gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). For the wild-type allele, e3, it is known that the e4 allele is a risk for AD, while the e2 allele is protective. Recently, genetic analyses with Caucasians have reported the critical associations between APOE rare missense variants (RMVs) and AD, and their importance has been pointed out in terms of disease pathogenesis of AD.

Background: Up to 13% of adolescents suffer from depressive disorders. Despite the high psychological burden, adolescents rarely decide to contact child and adolescent psychiatric services. To provide a low-barrier alternative, our long-term goal is to develop a chatbot for early identification of depressive symptoms.

Background: Teachers play important roles in influencing vaccine uptake decisions and should serve as examples for their students by willingly getting vaccinated. Given the low vaccination rates in this area, it is crucial to explore teachers' willingness to get vaccinated and emphasize their role in promoting vaccine acceptance.
Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the willingness of teachers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and its associated factors in Dambi Dollo town.

Ten cytochalasin derivatives, including six new methylthioether-containing chaetoglobosins (thiochaetoglobosins A-F, ), a new related congener (18-nor-prochaetoglobosin II, ), and three known unsulfured counterparts (), were isolated and identified from AS-506, an endozoic fungus isolated from a deep-sea sponge, which was collected from Magellan Seamounts in the Western Pacific Ocean. Their structures were determined by extensive interpretation of the spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data, as well as by ECD calculations. Structurally, thiochaetoglobosins A-F () represent the first examples of chaetoglobosin derivatives containing a methylthioether group in the molecules, while 18-nor-prochaetoglobosin II () is the first 18-nor-chaetoglobosin derivative.
