Aim: This study investigated the association between mothers' migration background and infant regulatory problems and analysed the mediating role of maternal mental health. We also explored whether the child's sex, parity and length of residence moderated the effect of a maternal migrant background.
Methods: Child health surveillance data from the Danish home visiting programme were used. Community health nurses followed infants from birth to 12 months of age. The source population comprised 103 813 infants born between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2018. The final sample comprised 62 964 infants, including 3.4% with a refugee background. A maternal migrant background was the primary exposure. The results are presented as risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results: A maternal refugee background increased the risk of regulatory problems in offspring (RR 1.34, 95% CI: 1.18-1.51). The effect was partially mediated by maternal postpartum mental health concerns. The association between maternal refugee background and infant regulatory problems was more pronounced in first-time mothers (RR 1.80, 95% CI: 1.51-2.15).
Conclusion: The risk of infant regulatory problems was higher in the first-born children of refugee mothers. First-time refugee parents may need tailored support to identify mental health needs and infants with regulatory problems.

Background: The inheritance of the short allele, encoding the serotonin transporter (SERT) in humans, increases susceptibility to neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders, with aging and female sex further exacerbating these conditions. Both central and peripheral mechanisms of the compromised serotonin (5-HT) system play crucial roles in this context. Previous studies on SERT-deficient (Sert) mice, which model human SERT deficiency, have demonstrated emotional and metabolic disturbances, exacerbated by exposure to a high-fat Western diet (WD).

Overexpression of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) plays a vital role in the advancement of reproductive malignancies such as ovarian, endometrial, and prostate cancer. Peptidomimetic GnRH antagonists are a substantial therapeutic development, providing fast and reversible suppression of gonadotropins by directly blocking GnRH-R. Unlike typical GnRH agonists, these antagonists prevent the early hormonal flare, have a faster onset of action, and have a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

The growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria within the human microbiome has become a pressing global health crisis. While antibiotics have revolutionized medicine by significantly reducing mortality and enabling advanced medical interventions, their misuse and overuse have led to the emergence of resistant bacterial strains. Key resistance mechanisms include genetic mutations, horizontal gene transfer, and biofilm formation, with the human microbiota acting as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

The increasing consumption of pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, and their improper disposal have resulted in both pharmaceuticals and their metabolites being released into the environment, where they pose a risk to both ecosystems and human health. One of the most serious threats to public health associated with the presence of antibiotics in the environment is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In order to combat AMR, the legal aspect of water protection becomes a critical area of action.

Background: Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the most important problems associated with the severe decrease of yield and quality under disaster weather of continuous rain in wheat harvesting stage. At present, the functions and mechanisms related to the involvement of post-transcriptional regulation has not been studied very clearly in PHS resistance.
Results: This study compared the differences of germinated seeds in miRNAome between the PHS-tolerant and PHS-susceptible white wheat varieties.
