In this relatively large cohort of allogeneic HCT recipients at risk for HBV reactivation, authors demonstrated that HBV vaccination with at least 2 doses of recombinant vaccine starting 1 year after transplantation is independently associated with a reduced risk for HBV reactivation and appears to be durable for years. Furthermore, authors confirmed that that HBV reactivation is a late complication of HCT, occurring at a median of 21 months after transplantation. Finally, authors confirmed that recipient HBsAb concentration above the threshold of protection (10 IU/L) before transplantation is independently associated with a reduced risk of reactivation after transplantation.
This Comment supports SDG 3 by highlighting the important of hepatitis C prevention, treatment, and risk reduction in prisons, calling for measures such as increased availability of point-of-care testing, direct-acting antiviral therapy, and education around HCV in carceral settings, as well as increased funding to support such measures.
This article aligns with the SDG goal 3 of Good health and wellbeing by demonstrating that direct-acting antiviral therapy is accompanied by an improvement in the quality of life of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Background: The environmental and social problems associated with increasing world population and industrial development have brought concerns related to water and atmospheric pollution, climate change, as well as the production of staple food. In addition, concerns about healthy food for improving life quality have also increased. Scope and approach: In this review, microalgae composition, nutritional and functional characteristics are detailed for justifying the feasibility of employing their biomass as ingredients in staple foods for human consumption.
Circular economy has provided the possibilities for recycling and sustainable management of plastic wastes.
This content links with Goal 3: Good health and well-being and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by providing information on paroxysmal dyskinesias, a group of uncommon movement disorders that are characterized by episodes of abnormal movements arising from a baseline of normal or nearly normal movement.
Experts from a range of fields and geographies describe key threats to global food security over the next two decades and suggest key research questions and gaps on this topic.

This chapter advances SDG goals 7, 9, and 11 by improving our ability to use smart grids to provide stable, demand- and market-responsive energy.
Drinking water supply requires energy, which in turn emits greenhouse gases with undesirable climate impacts. Water conservation, therefore, offers environmental benefits by reducing such emissions.
