Anemia design effects in cluster surveys of women and young children in refugee settings.

Background: Nutrition surveys in many refugee settings routinely estimate anemia prevalence in high-risk population groups. Given the lack of information on anemia design effects (DEFF) observed in surveys in these settings, the goal of this paper is to better understand the magnitude and distribution of DEFFs and intracluster correlation coefficients (ICCs) in order to inform future survey design.

Methods: Two-stage cluster surveys conducted during 2013-2016 were included if they measured hemoglobin in refugee children aged 6-59 months and/or non-pregnant women aged 15-49 years.

Hemangioblastoma: An Unsuspected Pitfall in PSMA PET/CT.

Hemangioblastoma (HB) is the most common primary intra-axial posterior fossa tumor in adults and is a benign vascular neoplasm. We report the case of a 73-year-old man suffering from biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer where intense overexpression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was observed in HB in a PSMA PET/CT. Overexpression of PSMA in tumor-associated vascular structures has been proposed as an explanation of PSMA ligand uptake in several nonprostatic tumors.

The burden of anaemia among displaced women and children in refugee settings worldwide, 2013-2016.

Introduction: Displaced persons have a unique risk for developing anaemia due to often limited diets, overcrowding, new infections and inadequate sanitation and hygiene. The lack of anaemia prevalence estimates among the displaced inhibit global planning for anaemia reduction.

Methods: We analysed population representative, cross-sectional nutrition surveys from 2013 to 2016 conducted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and partner agencies.

Enteral nutritional therapy for induction of remission in Crohn's disease.

Background: Corticosteroids are often preferred over enteral nutrition (EN) as induction therapy for Crohn's disease (CD). Prior meta-analyses suggest that corticosteroids are superior to EN for induction of remission in CD. Treatment failures in EN trials are often due to poor compliance, with dropouts frequently due to poor acceptance of a nasogastric tube and unpalatable formulations.

Distribution of clinical risk factors for fracture in a Brussels cohort of postmenopausal women: The FRISBEE study and comparison with other major cohort studies.

Objectives: The estimation of fracture risk using clinical risk factors (CRFs) is of primary concern in osteoporosis management, but only some risk factors have been thoroughly evaluated and incorporated in predictive models. We have launched a large prospective study, the 'Fracture Risk Brussels Epidemiological Enquiry' (FRISBEE), to develop a new predictive model for osteoporotic fractures. The aims of this report are to describe the methodology of the FRISBEE study and to compare the distribution of CRFs in our cohort with those reported in other large studies.
