Background: People with learning disabilities are at substantially increased risk of COVID-19 mortality, but evidence on risks of COVID-19 mortality for disabled people more generally is limited. We aimed to use population-level data to estimate the association between self-reported disability and death involving COVID-19 during the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in England.

Understanding the cause and functional consequences of MINCR deregulation gives important insights on potential pathogenetic mechanisms both in cancer and in neurodegeneration.

Major challenges faced by the human population in recent times include population increase, resource depletion and deterioration of environmental quality. The scarcity of food for the rising population is a critical issue faced by the world in wake of the unpredicted change in climatic conditions. The aquaculture industry plays an important role in solving global food scarcity. It is projected that the share of fish for human consumption originating from aquaculture is projected to increase from 52% (average for the period 2016–2018) to 58% in 2028.

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked multisystem mitochondrial disease. It is caused by variants of the TAFAZZIN gene leading to abnormal cardiolipin. Normal cardiolipin is crucial for proper mitochondrial structure and function. This article reviews the little-discussed, but significant neuro/psychological aspects of BTHS and discusses potential pathogenic mechanisms and avenues for further research.
