Understanding the development and maintenance of immunological memory is important for efforts to eliminate parasitic diseases like leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis encompasses a range of pathologies, resulting from infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the subgenera and of the genus A striking feature of these infections is that natural or drug-mediated cure of infection generally confers life-long protection against disease. The generation of protective T cell responses are necessary to control infections.

In glomerulopathies, endothelial dysfunction and the presence of histological vascular lesions such as thrombotic microangiopathy, arteriolar hyalinosis, and arteriosclerosis are related to a severe clinical course and worse renal prognosis. The endothelial cell, which naturally has anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic regulatory mechanisms, is particularly susceptible to damage caused by various etiologies and can become dysfunctional due to direct/indirect injury or a deficiency of protective factors. In addition, endothelial regulation and protection involve participation of the complement system, factors related to angiogenesis, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), endothelin, the glycocalyx, the coagulation cascade, interaction between these pathways, interactions between glomerular structures (the endothelium, mesangium, podocyte, and basement membrane) and interstitial structures (tubules, arterioles and small vessels).

Rationale: There is limited guidance on the best ways to stop using nicotine-containing vapes (otherwise known as e-cigarettes) and ensure long-term abstinence, whilst minimising the risk of tobacco smoking and other unintended consequences. Treatments could include pharmacological interventions, behavioural interventions, or both.
Objectives: To conduct a living systematic review assessing the benefits and harms of interventions to help people stop vaping compared to each other or to placebo or no intervention.

Introduction: The COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease-2019) pandemic highlighted the importance of assessing the rationales behind vaccine hesitancy for the containment of pandemics. In this nationwide study, representative of the Luxembourgish population, we identified hesitant groups from adolescence to late adulthood and explored motivations both for and against vaccination.
Methods: We combined data collected via online surveys for the CON-VINCE (COvid-19 National survey for assessing VIral spread by Non-affected CarriErs) study, 1865 respondents aged 18-84, and for the YAC (Young people And Covid-19) study, 3740 respondents aged 12-29.
