TL;DR: Metaprop was applied on two published meta-analyses of HPV-infection in women with a Pap smear showing ASC-US and cure rate after treatment for cervical precancer using cold coagulation, both of which showed a pooled HPV-prevalence of 43%.

TL;DR: This updated guidance does not call for a general re‐evaluation of previous assessments where the NOAEL approach or the BMD approach as described in the 2009 SC guidance was used, in particular when the exposure is clearly smaller than the health‐based guidance value.

TL;DR: The resulting estimates indicate that school closure can have a substantial impact on the spread of a newly emerging infectious disease that is transmitted via close (non sexual) contacts.

TL;DR: Some individual signs have high specificity and a serious infection can be excluded based on a limited number of signs and symptoms, and a multivariable triage instrument is created.

TL;DR: Penicillins represented the most widely used antibiotic subgroup in all 33 participating countries, albeit with considerable variation in their use patterns, and a continuous increase in overall penicillin use and of COP use was observed during the period 1997-2009.
