Healthcare professionals' perspectives on the challenges in the vaccination of Ukrainian child migrants and war refugees: findings from a qualitative study in Poland.

Objectives: The aim of this qualitative research study was to explore the barriers encountered by Ukrainian war migrants and refugees in accessing vaccinations in Poland and the challenges related to delivering vaccinations observed by healthcare professionals (HCPs).

Material And Methods: The study was based on an analysis of data from 18 in-depth interviews with HCPs working with Ukrainian refugees conducted in Poland in July and August 2023. The authors analyzed the data using the UNICEF Journey to Health and Immunization (JHI) framework in order to identify bottlenecks and possible interventions that could solve existing problems in preventive healthcare for migrants.

The Prevalence and Changes in Alcohol Consumption across Three Trimesters of Pregnancy Assessed by Ethyl Glucuronide Concentration in Maternal Hair and Self-Reports: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The teratogenic effect of alcohol is well known, but its prevalence is usually underestimated. This study presents the findings of a cross-sectional study conducted in Poland, which aimed to assess the prevalence and changes in alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The study utilized ethyl glucuronide (EtG) concentration in maternal hair and self-reports as measures to evaluate alcohol intake across the three trimesters of pregnancy.

Prenatal ultrasound markers for prediction of complex gastroschisis-single-center retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate prenatal ultrasound markers for distinguishing simple gastroschisis (sGS) from complex gastroschisis (cGS) and identifying fetuses at risk of complications.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study analyzed 61 fetuses with isolated gastroschisis at a tertiary center from 2011 to 2021, utilizing serial ultrasounds from 14 to 35 weeks' gestation. A general linear model, quantile regression, and logistic regression assessed ultrasound markers, fetal weeks, and gastroschisis risk, yielding predictive models.

Liver damage profile in COVID-19 pregnant patients.

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 unsparingly impacts all areas of medicine. Pregnant women are particularly affected by the pandemic and COVID-19 related liver damage seems to be another threat to maternal and fetal health. The aim of this study is to define liver damage profile including bile acids serum levels in COVID-19 pregnant patients and to determine predictors of disease aggravation and poor obstetrics outcomes.
