Insights on the Pooled Prevalence and Global Distribution of Leptospirosis in Goats: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

spp. infection in small ruminants is usually asymptomatic or presents nonspecific clinical signs and has an economic impact on goat farming and public health. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review with meta-analysis on the global seroprevalence and distribution of leptospirosis in goats.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System as a Clinical Tool for Capturing the Patient Perspective in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Narrative Review.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune-mediated chronic disease with a significant impact on quality of life. In pediatric patients, diagnosing and managing IBD is particularly challenging, and IBD often presents as a more severe and progressive disease. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are measures of treatment and disease management outcomes reported by patients and/or caregivers.

Tooth Anomalies in Patients With Nonsyndromic Orofacial Cleft: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of tooth anomalies (TA) in the deciduous and permanent dentition of patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC), both inside and outside the cleft area.

Methods: The following databases were searched for the relevant literature: Cochrane, OVID, SciELO, Embase, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The risk of bias was analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute.

Clinical usefulness of patient-reported-outcome-measurement information system in Pediatric Crohn's Disease: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study evaluated the clinical utility of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) by comparing it with objective clinical data and validated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) patients.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Pediatric CD patients (aged 8-17 years) were enrolled prospectively over eight months from an outpatient pediatric gastroenterology center.

Human Fascioliasis in Portugal: A Case Report.

Fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease that may affect humans as incidental hosts after the ingestion of contaminated water or aquatic plants. Despite the non-specificity of its signs and symptoms, a triad of abdominal pain, fever, and peripheral eosinophilia should increase suspicion. The diagnosis of fascioliasis can be particularly difficult in non-endemic countries.
