The antimicrobial properties of silver and silver complexes have been known in medicine since ancient times. However, limitations in stability and solubility have impaired medicinal chemistry and drug development research. With the advent of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) as ligands, the development of synthesis methods for organometallic silver species of the type (NHC)AgX (where X = halide) has brought significant improvements, and the class of antimicrobial silver NHC complexes has emerged.

This cohort study examines the socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination in Western Attica, Greece. The data was collected in two phases: In the first phase (December 2021-January 2022), 269 people who had initially refused the vaccination were surveyed.

Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, non-metastasizing but locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor arising from fibroblasts or myofibroblasts. We report a solitary case of DF involving the retropharyngeal and danger spaces, a location rarely documented. The patient, a woman in her 70s, presented with progressive pharyngeal discomfort over six months.

Introduction Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-documented cause of cervical cancer, leading to significant mortality that may be decreased through screening and the administration of HPV vaccination. Our understanding of New Zealand immigrants' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the HPV vaccine is limited. Preliminary research shows that immigrants have low knowledge and negative perceptions of the HPV vaccine and that cervical cancer and HPV awareness was low among African parents.

It is well-established that algorithms can be instruments of injustice. It is less frequently discussed, however, how current modes of AI deployment often make the very discovery of injustice difficult, if not impossible. In this article, we focus on the effects of algorithmic profiling on epistemic agency.
