Introduction: Global migration has increased in recent decades due to war, conflict, persecutions, and natural disasters, but also secondary to increased opportunities related to work or study. Migrants' risk of tuberculosis (TB) differs by reasons for migration, socioeconomic status, mode of travel and TB risk in transit, TB incidence and healthcare provision in country of origin. Despite advances in TB care for migrants and new treatment strategies, decisions for the management of migrants at risk of TB often rely on expert opinions, rather than clinical evidence.

- - This paper discusses the discovery of new alien species of South American rust fungi in Europe, particularly in Switzerland, Germany, and France, marking the first identification of these species outside of South America
- - The identification was based on specific genetic characteristics, including nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences, and has mainly been found affecting plants in the Malvaceae family, especially common mallow
- - Notably, it was found that these fungi can exhibit phenotypic plasticity, meaning they can produce different types of spores under varying conditions, including spermogonia and aecidium-type aecia, which suggests complex life-cycle behavior
Prioritisation of early pregnancy risk factors for stillbirth: An international multistakeholder modified e-Delphi consensus study.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol
November 2024
Objective: To identify and prioritise early pregnancy risk factors for stillbirth to inform prognostic factor and model research.
Study Design: We used a modified e-Delphi method and consultation meeting to achieve consensus. Risk factors for early, late and stillbirth at any gestation identified from an umbrella review of risk factors for stillbirth were entered into a two-stage online Delphi survey with an international group of stakeholders made up of healthcare professionals and researchers.
Intestinal anti-endomysium antibodies are a specific marker of celiac disease. The diagnostic accuracy of this marker seems high in pediatric patients and has not yet been investigated in adults, so the aim of this prospective multicentric study was to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of this marker in childhood and adulthood. Pediatric and adult patients undergoing intestinal endoscopy for any intestinal condition were enrolled.

Objectives: To assess the predictive performance of existing models predicting fetal growth restriction and birthweight, and if needed, to develop and validate new multivariable models using individual participant data.
