Analysis of the Concept of Obstetric Violence: Scoping Review Protocol.

(1) Background: Obstetric violence has been highlighted in the political and social agenda of several countries. Efforts have been made to create policies to humanize obstetric care, guarantee the rights of pregnant women and respond to this form of violence. The lack of consensus on the appropriate terminology to name and define the behaviours that constitute obstetric violence, hinders this process.

The impact of COVID-19 on households´ income in the EU.

Unlabelled: This analysis makes use of economic forecasts for 2020 issued by the European Commission in Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020, and of a counterfactual under a no-policy change assumption, to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on EU households´ income. Additionally, our analysis assesses the cushioning effect of discretionary fiscal policy measures taken by the EU Member States. We find that the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to affect significantly households' disposable income in the EU, with lower income households being more severely hit.

Quantitative Whole Slide Assessment of Tumor-Infiltrating CD8-Positive Lymphocytes in ER-Positive Breast Cancer in Relation to Clinical Outcome.

There is a need for a reliable and reproducible quantification of the immune infiltrate within the heterogeneous microenvironment of tumors in order to support therapy selection in oncology. Here we present an automated, modular method for whole-slide image analysis of the spatial distribution of tumor-infiltrating CD8-positive lymphocytes. The method uses a deep learning tissue-type classification algorithm on the hematoxylin eosin (HE) stained tissue section to identify the central tumor (CT) and invasive margin (IM) of the tumor.

: What Makes It Tick as Successful Probiotic?

is a probiotic yeast often used for the treatment of GI tract disorders such as diarrhea symptoms. It is genetically close to the model yeast and its classification as a distinct species or a variant has long been discussed. Here, we review the main genetic divergencies between and as a strategy to uncover the ability to adapt to the host physiological conditions by the probiotic.
