Microsporidia are intracellular parasites with significant impact on both animal and human health. The prevalence of microsporidia infections in rabbits, including the genera Enterocytozoon and Encephalitozoon, underscores the importance of understanding their epidemiology for effective control strategies. This systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the global prevalence of microsporidia infection in rabbits using five databases (Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) to retrieve articles published between 03 December 2003 and 26 March 2023.

Objective: We aim to provide a template structured report of fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) that was locally validated by the CDH study group in Mannheim.

Methods: A selection of 50 fetal MRIs of patients with an isolated diaphragmatic hernia and associated radiology reports from five different senior radiologists from a single center resulted in a primary structured report, which was put into practice by using dedicated software. A questionnaire survey of the interdisciplinary CDH study group Mannheim was used to adapt the report to the clinical requirements.
