✅ In this study, we have summarized available data on how exercise and nutritional factors help promote immunity against various infections. More importantly, this review provides practical and valuable guidance for sedentary adult people and non-professional athletes on how to do aerobic and resistance training and stretching exercises at home with no special types of equipment required during the outbreaks of delta variant-COVID-19.

✅ Wound infections are the primary cause of sepsis in burn wound patients and increase burn-related morbidity and mortality.  Conventional antimicrobial therapy is recognized as the most successful therapeutic intervention to combat infections of burn wounds. This study reviewed several aspects of phage therapy in burn wound patients.

✅ Identifying and monitoring significant topics and conceptual priorities of the A. baumannii area with scientometric techniques is an appropriate tool for determining the intellectual structure of the A. baumannii area, leading optimal and efficient decisions in officials' research financial policy.

✅ It seems phenotypic methods are more successful in distinguishing true negatives (higher specificity). Also, sensitivity to cefoxitin is not a criterion for not producing the enzyme AmpC. For this reason, it is recommended that national monitoring be performed to identify the genes of AmpC producing bacteria.

✅ In Iran, COVID-19 showed similar behavior patterns compared to the studied developed countries. The family of XGBoost models showed practical results and high precision in forecasting behavior patterns of the virus. Concerning the rapid spread of the virus worldwide, these models can be used to forecast the behavior patterns of SARS-CoV-2. Preventing the spread of the coronavirus, controlling the disease, and breaking down its chain necessitates community assistance, and in this mission, the role of statisticians cannot be neglected.

✅ Establishing the pH range from 7.4-9.0 as optimum growth conditions for Proteus and the best functional stability of Choline TMA-Lyase.
✅ Experimental findings infer that CAD patients reported low serum choline and high serum TMAO concentration.
✅ The area under the curve (AUC) for the ROC graph was 0.893. TMAO was found to be a significant and powerful predictor for CAD in Indian patients (P<0.05).

✅ This is the first molecular evidence on the infection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in sheltered dogs of the region.
✅ The identified strains of A. phagocytophilum in the present study have genetic similarities with those strains of pathogen identified in humans, dogs, and goats, representing the importance of our isolates from a zoonotic point of view.

✅ This study shows the high prevalence and antibiotic resistance rate of VRE strains of E. faecalis in water resources in Guilan province, which can be alarming and needs to be considered.

✅ The results of this study revealed that males are more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-19. Underlying diseases were common among patients and clinical and laboratory symptoms aggravated with a rise in hospitalization time.

✅ Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) is a helminth, which infects humans widely in tropical and subtropical countries. This parasitic infestation usually does not produce symptoms in humans; however, severe and life-threatening forms of this infection can occur in immunocompromised individuals.
