Our material consists of the patients treated for poisonings with street-drugs in Clinic of Acute Poisonings, Lódź, Poland during the period 1993-1996. During the time of 4 years, the number of hospitalised patients have grown up 4.5 times. The structure of used drugs has also changed. Up to 1993 the most popular were opiates derivatives and narcotic analgetics-morphine derivatives. In 1996 almost all narcotics are common, opiates (both natural and synthetic), cocaine, LSD, amphetamine and commonly used (by youngsters especially) Cannabis sativa (marihuana etc). The most common sources of poisoning in our material were opiates and amphetamine, followed by tetrahydrocannabinol derivatives-marijuana.

Prevalence and risk factors of under-five mortality due to severe acute malnutrition in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Syst Rev

Bill and Joyce Cummings Institute of Global Health, University of Global Health Equity (UGHE), Butaro, Rwanda.
Background: Despite a global drop of under-five mortality by 59% between 1990 and 2019, it remains high in Low- and Middle- income Countries (LMICs)with a preponderance in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Southern and Central Asia. Besides preterm and intrapartum complications, undernutrition contributes 45% of the deaths in these developing regions. In Africa, under-five mortality due to severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has stagnated at 10-40%, higher than WHO targets and the SDGs projections.

Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet Herne, Ruhr University Bochum, Herne, Germany.
Background: Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic method capable of quantifying inflammation in the finger and wrist joints of arthritis patients by assessing the blood-specific absorption of light transmitted through a tissue. The diagnostic performance of this modality has not been adequately examined and data regarding OST associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are limited. Aim of this study was therefore to investigate the performance of OST in assessing joint inflammation as compared to MRI in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA).

Rearrangements involving the DUX4 gene (DUX4-r) define a subtype of paediatric and adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with a favourable outcome. Currently, there is no 'standard of care' diagnostic method for their confident identification. Here, we present an open-source software tool designed to detect DUX4-r from short-read, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data.
