TL;DR: This study provides the first large-scale quantitative approach to contact patterns relevant for infections transmitted by the respiratory or close-contact route, and the results should lead to improved parameterisation of mathematical models used to design control strategies.

TL;DR: This first global assessment of country-level population prevalence of chronic HBV infection found a wide variation between countries and highlights the need for continued prevention and control strategies and the collection of reliable epidemiologic data using standardised methodology.

TL;DR: A generic reference for fetal weight and birthweight that can be easily adapted to local populations and has a better ability to predict adverse perinatal outcomes than has the non-customised fetal-weight reference, and is simpler to use than the individualised reference without loss of predictive ability.

TL;DR: A systematic review of ecologic studies published between 2000 and 2014 found a strong inverse relationship between CS rates and the mortality outcomes so that maternal, neonatal and infant mortality decrease as CS rates increase up to a certain threshold, which could be interpreted to mean that at CS rates below this threshold, socio-economic development may be driving the ecologic association betweenCS rates and mortality.

TL;DR: Data show consistent associations between unhealthy food consumption and depressive symptoms and perceived stress among female students from three European countries, but not among male students, which suggests that efforts to reduce depressive Symptoms and stress amongfemale students may also lead to the consumption of healthier foods and/or vice-versa.
