Although vaccines have been early available, vaccination has been hindered by COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, including in conflict and fragile regions.Yet, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy remains poorly understood in these settings. This study aimed to determine the scope of and identify associated factors to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Beni city.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 continues to threaten mankind and new variants entail uncertainty. Vaccination, a critical public health strategy for Coronavirus Disease 2019 prevention and control has been compromised by Coronavirus Disease 2019 vaccine hesitancy. The root causes of Coronavirus Disease 2019 vaccine hesitancy and strategies for its reduction are poorly understood in Beni City. This study aimed to identify them and to describe strategies to address them among Beni inhabitants.

The knowledge of bacterial communities in the brackish shrimp farming in Kerala is still insufficient.16S rRNA gene-based high-throughput sequencing revealed distinct and diverse microbial communities in the analyzed sample. Analysis of the results showed a high abundance of Betaproteobacteria, followed by Alphaproteobacteria, Clostridia, Actinobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli in the metagenome retrieved from the gut sample. Unclassified bacteria also contributed a significant portion of the metagenome.

Introduction: Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent, both in women and in men, worldwide, including in Brazil, being considered a condition that causes more morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the clinical, epidemiological and mortality profile of gastric cancer in Brazil from 2010 to 2020, as well as the prevalence and risk factors involved in the development of this disease. Methodology: To prepare the study, a bibliographic survey was carried out, through research in the LILACS, Scielo and MEDLINE databases, using descriptors.

Introduction: Recognition of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children may be difficult because of the non-specific presenting symptoms, particularly in younger children. Urine culture is still considered the gold standard in diagnosis of UTI, but culture takes 48 hours for the result, and culture facility may not be available in rural setup of our country. So dip sticks have the advantage of being quick and easy to perform, interpret and cost effective. Leucocyte esterase (LE) and Nitrite (NIT) Dip stick test have been commonly used in diagnosing UTI.

The direct discharge of lead containing wastewater into the environment without treatment poses a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health. Therefore, efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-carbon treatment of lead-containing wastewater is one of the critical issues that need to be addressed urgently.

Extended reality technology assists the professional with planning, design, guides and navigation of procedures. This study demonstrates the direct veneer technique in composite resin layered and made up on element 11, guided virtually by the Bio immersive reality platform, which provided navigation and interaction of the procedure via the link received by WhatsApp or e-mail, the entire process is virtual, contributing to biosafety and the professional does not need a physical guide and specific skills.

Background: Knee injuries are more common now days due to increase case of RTA and active participation on sports activities.
