Hepatitis C infection and HIV/AIDS contaminations are normal in certain areas of the world, and because of their geographic overlap, co-infection can't be precluded as the two illnesses have a similar transmission course. This current work presents a co-infection model of HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C virus with fuzzy parameters. The application of fuzzy theory aids in tackling the issues associated with measuring uncertainty in the mathematical depiction of diseases. The fuzzy reproduction number and fuzzy equilibrium points have been determined in this context, focusing on a model applicable to a specific group defined by a triangular membership function. Furthermore, for the model, a fuzzy non-standard finite difference (NSFD) technique has been developed, and its convergence is examined within a fuzzy framework. The suggested model is numerically validated, confirming the dependability of the devised NSFD technique, which successfully retains all of the key properties of a continuous dynamical system.

Critical care department, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: The incidence of invasive infection of (Kp) in the community is increasing every year, and the high disability and mortality rates associated with them pose great challenges in clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the clinical and microbiological characteristics of Kp invasive infection in the community.
Method: This study investigated the data of 291 patients with Kp infection in the community in three hospitals (Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province) from January 2020 to August 2023.

Background: Seasonal vaccination is the mainstay of human influenza prevention. Licensed influenza vaccines are regularly updated to account for viral mutations and antigenic drift and are standardised for their haemagglutinin content. However, vaccine effectiveness remains suboptimal.

Co-infections of different pathogenic microorganisms usually cause complex effects, and receive more attention. Red-grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) and Vibrio are the common viral and bacterial pathogens of fish, and are often detected simultaneously in diseased fish. However, the understanding of co-infection of RGNNV and Vibrio is still unclear.

Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) include bacterial infections of the skin, muscles, and connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. SSTI in patients with immunocompromising diseases may lead to chronic, hard-to-heal infected wounds, resulting in disability, amputation, or even death. To treat SSTI and rebuild the defensive barrier of the skin, here we utilize recombinant type XVII collagen protein (rCol XVII) to construct biodegradable, regenerative collagen microneedles (rCol-MN) for transdermal delivery of antibacterial agents.

Background: Historically, soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control and prevention strategies have relied on mass drug administration efforts targeting preschool and school-aged children. While these efforts have succeeded in reducing morbidity associated with STH infection, recent modeling efforts have suggested that expanding intervention to treatment of the entire community could achieve transmission interruption in some settings. Testing the feasibility of such an approach requires large-scale clinical trials, such as the DeWorm3 cluster randomized trial.
