Early Recognition and Intervention in SIBlingS at High Risk for Neurodevelopment Disorders (ERI-SIBS): a controlled trial of an innovative and ecological intervention for siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder.

Background: It has been widely demonstrated that siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have an increased risk of abnormal developmental trajectories. In response to this, early recognition protocols have been developed worldwide, aiming to promote early interventions that can positively impact the neurodevelopment of this population. This paper presents the protocol of a controlled trial: ERI-SIBS (Early Recognition and Intervention in SIBlingS at High Risk for Neurodevelopment Disorders) is an innovative and ecological early recognition and intervention program designed specifically for siblings of children with ASD.

Global perspectives in acute and emergency general surgery in low and middle-income countries: a WSES project protocol for scoping review on global surgery.

Background: Around five billion people globally lack access to safe, timely, and affordable surgical facilities and care in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Global initiatives have been launched, including efforts led by organizations. Also, regional efforts have shed light on the unique challenges faced by different areas within LMICs.

Increasing temperature counteracts the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation on Microcystis aeruginosa under future climate scenarios in relation to physiological processes.

Heat waves, are a major concern related to climate change, and are projected to increase in frequency and severity. This temperature rise causes thermal stratification, exposing surface-dwelling organisms to higher levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). This study aims to understand how the toxic bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa adapts to changing climatic conditions.

Influence of ESBL colonization status on gut microbiota composition during allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

After allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT), the diversity of the intestinal microbiota significantly decreases. The changes can be rapid and are thought to be caused by chemotherapy, antibiotics, or intestinal inflammation. Most patients are exposed to prophylactic and therapeutic antibiotics during neutropenia and several patients are colonized by ESBL bacteria.

Level of interest among Belgian consumers of the cultural, environmental, ethical, and global benefits of sustainable beekeeping management.

This study aimed to explore the consumers' level of interest in environmental, ethical, cultural, and global claims associated with sustainable beekeeping management and identify which factors influence perceptions of sustainable management and honey purchase. 1100 Belgian respondents were surveyed on their honey purchasing behavior and interest in the benefits of sustainable beekeeping management, complemented with socio-demographic questions. The data were evaluated using descriptive, non-parametric and multivariate statistics.
