Objectives: This study aimed to examine timebound prison healthcare governance amendments and current structures in Europe two decades after the World Health Organization (WHO) Declaration on Prison Health as part of Public Health adopted in Moscow on 24 October 2003 (Moscow Declaration), which recommended prison health care be closely linked with public health systems to ensure quality prison health care, connected health surveillance, and continuity of care.
Study Design: We present here a regional evolutionary mapping of the Council of Europe Member State transfer of prison healthcare governance to the auspices of the Ministry of Health.
Methods: The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture database and WHO Regional Office for Europe Health In Prison European Database were scrutinised for Council of Europe (CoE) Member State status regarding the Ministry responsible for prison healthcare governance and if this had changed since the adoption of the Moscow Declaration in 2003.
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to understand the impact of paternal age on live birth rates (LBR) in egg donation cycles, given the rising trend of delayed parenthood globally.
- The analysis included 11 studies with over 10,500 egg donation cycles and found a significant decrease in LBR as paternal age increased, indicating that older fathers may have slightly lower success rates in IVF.
- Despite the findings showing a decline in live birth rates with older paternal age, no specific age threshold was determined, highlighting the need for further research and the importance of this information for men considering having children later in life.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated intramammary antibiotic usage on 65 dairy farms in Ticino from 2017 to 2019 during efforts to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus genotype B (SAGTB).
- In the elimination year of 2018, farms with SAGTB-positive animals showed a significantly higher incidence of antibiotic treatment during lactation compared to SAGTB-free control farms.
- No reduction in antibiotic use was observed between 2017 and 2019, but farms strictly allowing only SAGTB-negative animals had lower antibiotic use, while a new federal monitoring system is expected to track future antibiotic usage reduction.
Cyclic fertilin peptide (cFEE: phenylalanine, glutamic acid; glutamic acid) improves gamete interaction in humans. We investigate whether it could be via improvement of sperm movement parameters and their mitochondrial ATP production. Sperm movement parameters were studied using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) in sperm samples from 38 patients with normal sperm in medium supplemented with cyclic fertilin against a control group.

The microscopes are now fully automated and next expected to be smart by making acquisition decisions based on the images. It calls for analysing them on the fly.
