Evaluating the potential of Kalanchoe pinnata, Piper amalago amalago, and other botanicals as economical insecticidal synergists against Anopheles gambiae.

Background: Synergists reduce insecticide metabolism in mosquitoes by competing with insecticides for the active sites of metabolic enzymes, such as cytochrome P450s (CYPs). This increases the availability of the insecticide at its specific target site. The combination of both insecticides and synergists increases the toxicity of the mixture.

ERN eUROGEN Guidelines on the Management of Anorectal Malformations, Part IV: Organization of Care and Communication between Providers.

Introduction:  Being born with an anorectal malformation (ARM) can have profound and lifelong implications for patients and parents. Organization of care and communication between health care providers is an overlooked area of patient care. The European Reference Network eUROGEN for rare and complex urogenital conditions assembled a panel of experts to address these challenges and develop comprehensive guidelines for the management of ARM.

ERN eUROGEN Guidelines on the Management of Anorectal Malformations Part III: Lifelong Follow-up and Transition of Care.

Introduction:  Anorectal malformations (ARMs) are complex congenital anomalies of the anorectal region, oftentimes also affecting the genitourinary system. Although successful surgical correction can often be achieved in the neonatal period, many children will experience functional problems in the long term. The European Reference Network for rare and complex urogenital conditions (eUROGEN) assembled a panel of experts to address these challenges and develop comprehensive guidelines for the management of ARM.
