2023, Women and BirthCitation Excerpt :All other aspects of prolonged pregnancy care remained the same. The impact of this policy on clinical outcomes [16] and clinicians’ experiences [17] have been previously reported, however the experiences of women subject to this policy have not been examined [17,18] Migrant women may have additional care requirements including challenges with communication [18,19] lack of understanding of a new health care system [20,21] and social isolation arising from immigration [22]. Any policy or care that identifies specific groups based on ethnic background may be perceived as being discriminatory, as was observed following the draft NICE guidelines [23–25].
The effect of Vitamin C and Zn supplementation on the immune system and clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients
2022, Clinical Nutrition Open ScienceCitation Excerpt :Zn is necessary for adequate innate and adaptive immune system function [28]. According to the world health organization (WHO), approximately one-third of the world's population is deficient in Zn and Zn deficiency is responsible for nearly 16% of severe lung infections worldwide [29,30]. Zn deficiency may reduce immune system function, and in some cases, deficiency in Zn can cause several forms of infection (e.g., respiratory, inflammatory, and autoimmune) and in the most extreme case, could even increase mortality from infection [31,32].
