To date, the factors predicting success following bariatric surgery remain uncertain. ⋯ The effect of emotional eating and depression on TWL was not detected. Emotional eating and depression trigger each other in the individuals who underwent bariatric surgery. Young individuals who undergo bariatric surgery are more vulnerable to emotional eating and depression than older patients.

Hearing loss is a global health issue and its etiopathologies involve complex molecular pathways. The ubiquitin-proteasome system has been reported to be associated with cochlear development and hearing loss. The gene related to anergy in lymphocytes ( GRAIL ), as an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has not, as yet, been examined in aging-related and noise-induced hearing loss mice models. ⋯ The present data demonstrated that GRAIL deficiency protects against aging-related and noise-induced hearing loss. The mechanism involved needs to be further clarified from the potential association with synaptic modulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

Commodifying Vaccines to Curtail Antibiotic Resistance Impact in Malaria Endemic Countries.
Rampant and prevalent deployment of an efficient malaria vaccine in Pakistan, together with basic control and preventive measures, could significantly decrease the economic and healthcare burden caused by drug-resistant malaria. Moreover, RTS, S/AS01 vaccine has attained a much-needed breakthrough after decades of growth, as an innovative vaccine for malaria in Phase III clinical trials, and presently undergoing implementation studies. ⋯ Vaccination is a potentially critical component of efforts to arrest the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance; though little is known about the impact vaccination may have within low-and-middle-income countries. Key Words: Antimicrobial resistance, Malaria, Vaccine.
