Article Abstract
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) negatively impacts the ability to achieve educational and occupational goals increasing vulnerability to socioeconomic challenges. In a cross-sectional analysis of 332 SCA adults, we investigated whether the distressed community index (DCI) was associated with SCA-related complications and nutritional status. More patients with higher DCI had Medicaid insurance. A higher DCI was independently associated with tobacco use and lower body mass index, serum albumin, and vitamin D 25-OH levels after adjusting for insurance status but was not associated with SCA-related complications. Future studies investigating access to healthy foods may help improve health equity in patients with SCA.

Background And Aim: Hematological parameters are critical indicators of health and physiological status in goats. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of location, feeding regimen, age, and body condition score (BCS) on hematological parameters in Creole goats reared under extensive systems on the southern coast of Peru and to establish context-specific reference values.
Materials And Methods: A total of 111 multiparous goats from nine herds were assessed.

Background: The CRP-albumin-lymphocyte (CALLY) index has potential clinical value as a novel marker integrating inflammatory, nutritional and immune status in the development of colorectal polyps. This study examined whether gender factors influence the association between CALLY and colorectal polyps; in addition to elucidating whether metabolic pathways mediate this relationship.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 5409 adult health screening participants who completed colonoscopy.

Introduction: The alarming rate of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) globally is a threat to treatment success among positive tuberculosis (TB) cases. Studies aimed at determining the prevalence, trend of DR-TB and socio-demographic and clinical risk factors contributing to DR-TB in the four regions of Ghana are currently unknown. This study sought to determine the prevalence and trend of DR-TB, identify socio-demographic and clinical risk factors that influence DR-TB, and analyse the relationship between underweight and adverse drug reactions and treatment outcomes among DR-TB patients in four regions of Ghana.
