"Children in the prison nursery": Global progress in adopting the Convention on the Rights of the Child in alignment with United Nations minimum standards of care in prisons
CONCLUSIONS: Achieving a balance between protection of the child and punishment of the mother is inconsistent globally, and exacerbates the multiple vulnerabilities of the child.PMID:36215755 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2022.105829 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Department of Energy requires plans to promote diversity from grant applicants
Researchers seeking funding from the United States’s single biggest funder of the physical sciences will now have to think about how they can structure their own efforts to promote greater participation by researchers and students of color and from other underrepresented groups. This week, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Science, which has an annual budget of $7.5 billion, announced on its website that researchers responding to funding opportunities, including those at the office’s 10 national laboratories, must include a Promoting Inclusive and Equitable Research (PIER) Plan in their a...

Update of aims population data and test with the genogeographer admixture module
Individuals from Slovenia, Greece, Albania, and Eritrea were typed with the Precision ID Ancestry Panel and included among GenoGeographer ’s nine reference populations (Sub-Saharan Africa, Horn of Africa, North Africa, Middle East, Europe, South/Central Asia, East Asia, and East and West Greenland). We tested the performance of GenoGeographer with the Admixture Module on AIM profiles of 3,548 individuals assumed to belong to one of the reference populations. A total of 3,387 (95.5%) profiles were assigned to one or more of the reference populations, either a single population or an admixture of two or more populations, w...

Occurrence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is associated with geographical origin: spatial characteristics of the Frankfurt TB cohort 2013 –2018
ConclusionGeographical origin is a predictor for the occurrence of extrapulmonary TB. This might be linked to a delay in diagnosis in these patients, as well as specific responsible impairments of the host ’s immune system, possible virulence factors of MTB, and relevant comorbidities.

COVID-19 vaccination rates among healthcare workers by immigrant background: A nation-wide registry study from Norway
CONCLUSIONS: Substantial differences in vaccination rates among immigrant groups employed in the healthcare sector in Norway indicate that measures to improve vaccine uptake should focus on specific immigrant groups rather than all immigrants together. Lower vaccination rates in some immigrant groups appear to be largely driven by the occupational composition, suggesting that some of the differences in vaccine rates can be attributed to variation in vaccine access.PMID:36171739 | DOI:10.1177/14034948221100685 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Plasmodium falciparum pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 Gene Deletions and Relatedness to Other Global Isolates, Djibouti, 2019-2020
We examined 1,002 samples from suspected malaria patients in Djibouti City, Djibouti, to investigate pfhrp2/3 deletions. We performed assays for Plasmodium antigen carriage, pfhrp2/3 genotyping, and sequencing for 7 neutral microsatellites to assess relatedness. By PCR assay, 311 (31.0%) samples tested positive for P. falciparum infection, and 296 (95.2%) were successfully genotyped; 37 (12.5%) samples were pfhrp2+/pfhrp3+, 51 (17.2%) were pfhrp2+/pfhrp3-, 5 (1.7%) were pfhrp2-/pfhrp3+, and 203 (68.6%) were pfhrp2-/pfhrp3-. Histidine-rich protein 2/3 antigen concentrations were reduced with corresponding gene deletions. Dj...
