Trends of mortality attributable to child and maternal undernutrition, overweight/obesity and dietary risk factors of non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, 1990-2015: Fi... by Melaku Y.A.

“…Results In 2015, CMU, overweight/obesity and dietary risks of NCD accounted for 826204 (95 % uncertainty interval (UI) 737346, 923789), 266768 (95 % UI 189051, 353096) and 558578 (95 % UI 453433, 680197) deaths, respectively, representing 10·3 % (95 % UI 9·1, 11·6 %), 3·3 % (95 % UI 2·4, 4·4 %) and 7·0 % (95 % UI 5·8, 8·3 %) of all-cause mortality. While the age-standardized proportion of all-cause mortality accounted for by CMU decreased by 55·2 % between 1990 and 2015 in SSA, it increased by 63·3 and 17·2 % for overweight/obesity and dietary risks of NCD, respectively. …”

Structural evaluation, preliminary in vitro stability and electrochemical behavior of apatite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates by Yaser E. Greish

“…Results showed the formation of an amorphous apatite layer onto the alloy, that was further shown to partially crystallize upon heat treatment. As a result of SBF treatment, the apatite layer was found to remodel through a dissolution-precipitation mechanism due to its amorphous and non-stoichiometric nature, forming a smooth layer with better homogeneity and decreased surface roughness. …”

Reinfections in COVID-19 Patients: Impact of Virus Genetic Variability and Host Immunity by Fakhroo, Aisha

“…Reinfection was attributed to several viral and/or host factors, including (i) underlying immunological comorbidities; (ii) low antibody titers due to the primary infection or vaccination; (iii) rapid decline in antibody response after infection or vaccination; and (iv) reinfection with a different SARS-CoV-2 variant/lineage. Infections after vaccination were also reported on several occasions, but mostly associated with mild or no symptoms. …”
