Pre-migration trauma and post-migration health burdens among sexuality and gender minority forced migrants: an exploratory qualitative study.

Worldwide, too many sexuality and gender minority individuals face significant danger due to their identity(ies), compelling them to seek refuge in another country. This qualitative study explored the pre-migration trauma and post-migration health burdens of sexuality and gender minority forced migrants in Sweden. Between April and June 2023, 34 participants were recruited using convenience, purposive, and snowball sampling and interviewed individually using semi-structured interviews.

Aims: To describe and synthesise qualitative studies exploring sexual and gender minority migrants' experiences of health service access and utilisation.

Design: Systematic meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

Data Sources: Systematic searches in four databases and citation screening were conducted in 2023 and 2024.

Association of clinical signs of possible serious bacterial infections identified by community health workers with mortality of young infants in South Asia: a prospective, observational cohort study.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed guidance for community health workers (CHWs) in identifying sick young infants based on clinical signs. We conducted a prospective, observational cohort study to characterise mortality risk of young infants based on their clinical signs.

Methods: We conducted a population-based, prospective observational cohort study at five sites in Bangladesh (Sylhet, November 01, 2011-December 31, 2013), India (Vellore and Odisha, September 01, 2013-February 28, 2015), and Pakistan (Karachi, January 01, 2012-December 31, 2013; Matiari, March 01, 2012-December 31, 2013) to identify newborn infants who were followed-up by CHWs through 10 scheduled home visits over the first 60 completed days after birth to identify signs of possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI).

Optimization and characterization of bioactive secondary metabolites from Streptomyces sp CMSTAAHL-4 isolated from mangrove sediment.

Background: Ten morphologically different actinomycetes were isolated from mangrove sediments of Manakudy, Kanyakumari District, India. The potent strain was selected based on their primary screening against Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Gram negative Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi bacterial pathogens. The selected strain was identified as Streptomyces sp CMSTAAHL-4 by 16S rRNA sequencing.

Intrapericardial Corticosteroids and Colchicine Prevent Pericarditis and Atrial Fibrillation After Epicardial Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Background: Postprocedural pericarditis (PP) can occur in up to 29.4% of patients undergoing epicardial catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Despite several proposed strategies to mitigate this adverse outcome, rates of PP and pericarditic pain remain high.
