Prediction of helminthiases in travellers and migrants with eosinophilia: a cohort study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine predictors for helminthiasis among travellers and migrants with eosinophilia for which a visit to tropical regions or endemic regions for common helminthiasis had been registered.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using electronic health records of 23 905 patients with eosinophilia (January 2011-August 2021) at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, including patients tested for helminthiasis with a registered stay in a helminth endemic region. Outcomes were diagnosis of any helminthiasis and diagnosis of schistosomiasis and strongyloidiasis.

Adsorption of aqueous insensitive munitions compounds by graphene nanoplatelets.

Mitigation strategies for potential environmental impacts of insensitive munition (IM) compounds, including 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), nitroguanidine (NQ), and methylnitroguanidine, (MeNQ) are being considered to enhance sustainability of current or potential IM formulations. Graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) were investigated for adsorptive removal of each compound. GnPs were characterized to determine surface areas, along with particle size and zeta potential at different pH and ionic strength conditions.

Human resources for health: a framework synthesis to put health workers at the centre of healthcare.

Background: Human resources are a key determinant for the quality of healthcare and health outcomes. Several human resource management approaches or practices have been proposed and implemented to better understand and address health workers' challenges with mixed results particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of this framework synthesis was to review the human resources frameworks commonly available to address human resources for health issues in LMIC.
