Association Between Maternal Lead Exposure from Seafood Consumption and Neurodevelopment: A Systematic Review.

Background: Despite the essential nutrients, maternal seafood consumption during pregnancy or lactation (PL) is also a potential source of toxins, including lead (Pb). The association between exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment is uncertain.

Objective: This systematic review assessed the association of exposure to Pb from seafood during PL on children's neurodevelopment.

Infection Prevention observations and the expectations of cleaning practices in an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)/In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Clinic: The Challenges.

Infection Prevention (IP) observations in clinic and procedure areas is a growing area of interest and concern. IP guidance for observations in an IVF clinic are challenging. This is related to care of the mom and the embryo.

First-in-Human Phase 1 study of a CD16A bispecific innate cell engager, AFM24, targeting EGFR-expressing solid tumors.

Purpose: Innate immune cell-based therapies have shown promising antitumor activity against solid and hematologic malignancies. AFM24, a bispecific innate cell engager, binds CD16A on natural killer (NK) cells/macrophages and EGFR on tumor cells, redirecting antitumor activity towards tumors. The safety and tolerability of AFM24 was evaluated in this Phase 1/2a dose escalation/dose expansion study in patients with recurrent or persistent, advanced solid tumors known to express EGFR.

Informal Caregivers Connecting on the Web: Content Analysis of Posts on Discussion Forums.

Background: About 53 million adults in the United States offer informal care to family and friends with disease or disability. Such care has an estimated economic value of US $600 million.

Impact of parent-reported antibiotic allergies on paediatric Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs.

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is crucial for optimising antimicrobial use and restraining emergence of antimicrobial resistance. The overall increase in reported antibiotic allergies in children can pose a significant barrier to AMS, but its impact on clinical AMS care in children has not been addressed.

Objective: Compare the clinical outcomes for children with a reported antibiotic allergy label (AAL) with those with no AAL reviewed by AMS.
