Introduction: Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a crucial role in extending health services, particularly for people who are medically underserved. Despite efforts to expand CHW programs nationally and in Iowa, challenges persist in defining their roles and responsibilities. Few studies have considered the perspectives of both CHWs and CHW employers simultaneously.

Background: Falls represent a significant health concern among the older adults, particularly geriatric cancer patients, due to their increased susceptibility from both age-related and cancer treatment-related factors. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize global data on the prevalence and risk of falls in this population to inform targeted fall prevention strategies.
Methods: Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to October 2024.

Medicinal plants, mushrooms, and endophytes offer a rich source of secondary metabolites (SMs), including flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and terpenoids, with proven antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2. Plant-associated microorganisms that colonize in living tissues of different parts of a plant possess the ability to produce SMs of immense therapeutic value and this biological interaction between plants and microbes can be exploited to develop antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2. The unprecedented lethality of the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the recent global pandemic has prompted extensive research into new treatment options and preventive strategies for COVID-19.

In this study, three chitosan quaternary phosphonium salts and three chitosan quaternary ammonium salts with varying spacer chain lengths were synthesized. Structure characterization of the obtained products was conducted using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. Additionally, the in vitro scavenging efficiency of these derivatives against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radicals, as well as their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (E.

Sub-Saharan Africa faces a dual public health crisis of HIV and nutritional deficiencies driven by profound socio-economic disparities. Despite significant micro-study research, macro-level, longitudinal patterns and causal dynamics remain underexplored. This study employs Panel Auto-regressive distributed lags, Panel Granger causality, and Vector auto-correction model to examine the influence of social determinants on HIV prevalence and nutritional deficiencies across Sub-Saharan Africa.
