Article Abstract
To end or curtail the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to incorporate mobile vaccination programs into the national vaccination strategy. Mobile COVID-19 vaccination programs play an important role in providing comprehensive vaccination from federally qualified institutions to underserved communities facing a higher risk for COVID-19 acquisition. The Meharry Medical College COVID-19 mobile vaccine program (MMC-MVP) has provided lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines, free of charge, to communities throughout Middle Tennessee. Mobile deployment is vital for those forced to travel long distances to get vaccinated and who have limited access to medical providers or vaccine clinics, lack access to public transportation, or may be homebound. The MMC-MVP, established on 13 April 2021, via funding from the Bloomberg Foundation, is sourced with infectious disease experts, nurse practitioners, and community engagement personnel to provide COVID-19 vaccinations and information in a culturally competent manner to diverse communities in Middle Tennessee. To provide broader access to COVID-19 vaccinations and vaccine-related information, the MMC-MVP partnered with the Tennessee Community Engagement Alliance, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing COVID-19 vaccine strike teams, non-academic, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. During the September 2021 COVID-19 surge in Tennessee, the MMC-MVP provided nearly 5000 free COVID-19 vaccinations to targeted, underserved communities. The MMC-MVP has provided vaccine equity in communities with the highest risk for acquiring COVID-19 and with greatest need in this pandemic.

Academia Latinoamericana de Medicina del Adulto Mayor - ALMA.
Background: Respiratory infections significantly impact older adults in Latin America, highlighting the need for regionally adapted consensus-based vaccination recommendations to guide preventive strategies. This study aimed to develop a consensus among Latin American experts on vaccination against respiratory diseases in older adults in the region, including influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and pertussis.
Methods: A two-round Delphi methodology was employed, involving 35 specialists from various medical fields.
Development and Validation of a Scaffold-Free Human Multilineage Spheroid Model for Early Stage Cholangiopathies Driven by Cholangiocyte Senescence.

GastroZentrum Hirslanden, Digestive Disease Center, Zürich, Switzerland.
Background And Aims: Cholangiopathies, including primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy (PCC), involve chronic cholangiocyte injury, senescence, epithelial-stromal crosstalk, and progressive fibrosis. However, effective in vitro models to capture these interactions are limited. Here, we present a scaffold-free 3D multilineage spheroid model, composed of hepatocyte-like cells (HepG2), cholangiocytes (H69), and hepatic stellate cells (LX-2), designed to recapitulate early fibrogenic responses driven by senescent cholangiocytes.

Department of Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY.
Background: Disparities in posttransplant outcomes persist and worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, disproportionately affecting individuals with social risk factors. This study examined the total and residual (ie, direct) associations between individual- and neighborhood-level income and posttransplant outcomes among deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) and living donor kidney transplant recipients transplanted in the United States in 2020.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study linked Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data with estimated individual annual income from LexisNexis and neighborhood median annual household income from the American Community Survey.
