A study was made of the establishment of biocenosis in the early neonatal period in healthy full-term neonates born to healthy mothers and in children belonging to a group at risk with an aggravated anamnesis but with no history of pyoinflammatory diseases. The study was related to bacterial colonization of the mother, amniotic fluid and placenta as well as to the immune status of the lying in woman and fetus.

As migrant populations age, the care system is confronted with the question how to respond to care needs of an increasingly diverse population of older adults. We used qualitative intersectional analysis to examine differential preferences and experiences with care at the end of life of twenty-five patients and their relatives from Suriname, Morocco and Turkey living in The Netherlands.

We examined form-meaning systematicity, where words share phonological templates and carry similar categorical meanings of manner-of-motion (e.

Childhood obesity is a growing global concern due to its long-term health consequences. Yet, more research relying on multiple time-point BMI measurements is warranted to gain further insight into obesity's temporal trends.
