This study aimed to explore the consumers' level of interest in environmental, ethical, cultural, and global claims associated with sustainable beekeeping management and identify which factors influence perceptions of sustainable management and honey purchase. 1100 Belgian respondents were surveyed on their honey purchasing behavior and interest in the benefits of sustainable beekeeping management, complemented with socio-demographic questions. The data were evaluated using descriptive, non-parametric and multivariate statistics.

Methods: We performed a literature search and underwent in-depth discussions to provide practical tools for physicians.
Results: HAE is a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder.
Objectives: To prospectively assess, using polysomnography (PSG), the evolution in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in infants with Robin Sequence (RS) during their first year of life and to evaluate the role of PSG in OSA treatment.
Methods: Prospective and longitudinal study conducted in 2 tertiary hospitals (2018-2021). Data from 2 PSG (PSG1 0-3 months of life, PSG2 6-10 months of life) performed in RS infants in different sleep positions/conditions (without treatment: supine [SP]; with treatment: lateral [LP], prone [PP], respiratory support) were analyzed.
Aims/hypothesis: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 14% of all pregnancies worldwide and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to exploit high-resolution wearable device time-series data to create a fine-grained physiological characterisation of the postpartum GDM state in free-living conditions, including clinical variables, daily glucose dynamics, food and drink consumption, physical activity, sleep patterns and heart rate.
Methods: In a prospective observational study, we employed continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), a smartphone food diary, triaxial accelerometers and heart rate and heart rate variability monitors over a 2 week period to compare women who had GDM in the previous pregnancy (GDM group) and women who had a pregnancy with normal glucose metabolism (non-GDM group) at 1-2 months after delivery (baseline) and 6 months later (follow-up).
