Background: Sweden has a longstanding history of promoting sexual reproductive health and rights. Reproductive decision-making is a fundamental right, but an individual's decision-making power differs across contexts. We examined self-reported reproductive agency and the acceptability of divorce, abortion and homosexuality among migrants in Sweden originating from the Middle East or North Africa (MENA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Less is known about their impact on the trajectory of biomarker changes. Neurofilament light chain (NfL), a marker of neurodegeneration, begins to accumulate in plasma about 20 years prior to the clinical onset of ADAD.

The majority of mutation carriers develop dementia, typically commencing in their late 30 s, with a median onset age of 49 years. Cognitive decline is a hallmark feature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Information and knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) plays a crucial role in promoting safe sexual practices among young migrants. We aimed to assess the sociodemographic factors of migrants associated with knowledge of condoms and the prevention, treatment, and transmission of HIV to highlight the need for SRHR information, including comprehensive sexual health education.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted (2018-2019) among migrants at Swedish language schools and high schools across Sweden.
Article Synopsis
- Triclosan, an antimicrobial additive linked to antibiotic resistance, may negatively impact the microbiome, prompting a review of existing studies on its effects.
- The review analyzed evidence from various studies, primarily focusing on rodents, fish, and humans, indicating triclosan may reduce microbiome diversity and alter specific microbial communities, though findings were inconsistent.
- The overall conclusion highlights a lack of adequate research on triclosan's effects on the microbiome, calling for more targeted studies and guidelines to improve future research comparability.
