Digital solutions for migrant and refugee health: a framework for analysis and action.

Digital technologies can help support the health of migrants and refugees and facilitate research on their health issues. However, ethical concerns include security and confidentiality of information; informed consent; how to engage migrants in designing, implementing and researching digital tools; inequitable access to mobile devices and the internet; and access to health services for early intervention and follow-up. Digital technical solutions do not necessarily overcome problems that are political, social, or economic.

Current Perspectives of Diabetic Dyslipidemia and Treatment Modalities.

Reassessing very long chain fatty acids elevations: Sitosterolemia as a non-peroxisomal cause.

Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are commonly used to diagnose peroxisomal disorders, but elevated levels may also result from other non-peroxisomal causes, leading to diagnostic challenges. We report the case of a 2-year-old girl presenting with growth retardation and diarrhea, with laboratory investigations revealing elevated VLCFA levels suggestive of a peroxisomal disorder. Despite initial suspicion, genetic panels for peroxisomal and dyslipidemia-associated genes were negative.
