This study reports the incidence of chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) recipients who received SARS-CoV2 vaccination. The overall rates of new and worsening chronic GvHD combined were
CONCLUSIONS: The phobic or counter-phobic reactions shown in the study participants highlighted the importance of the reliability of the information received and how previous feelings may influence the perception of the information.

CONCLUSIONS: Health inequities are an under-acknowledged source of physicians' occupational stress that requires solutions beyond the clinical context.
Bacterial or viral infections, such as Brucella, mumps virus, herpes simplex virus, and Zika virus, destroy immune homeostasis of the testes, leading to spermatogenesis disorder and infertility. Of note, recent research shows that SARS-CoV-2 can
Wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) cause millions of vertebrate mortalities globally, threatening population viability and influencing wildlife behaviour and survival. Traffic volume and speed can influence wildlife mortality on roads, but roadkill
