Summary: The study estimated the contributions of migration, latent reactivation, and local transmission to TB cases in Shanghai's Songjiang District. It found that additional interventions targeting migrants, such as active screening and preventive treatment, could further reduce TB incidence by 20% by 2035.

Summary: A study was conducted to investigate the status of haemoglobinopathy in Sichuan, China, involving 13,298 subjects. It was found that 4.80% of the subjects were carriers, mainly of beta-thalassaemia. The carrier rate of beta-thalassaemia in Sichuan was higher compared to alpha-thalassaemia.

Summary: Migration flows in Europe have led to a more diverse population and the presence of multiple languages in migrant-hosting countries and their education systems. However, European countries have been hesitant to adopt public policies promoting the preservation of migrant languages. This article analyzes external constraints and incentives to explain the lack of migrant language promotion policies in European education systems. The findings reveal a reluctance among international and supranational organizations to actively promote the preservation of migrant languages, leading to a generalized absence of such policies in Europe.

Summary: In Northern Ireland, migrants with chronic poor mental health are less likely to receive psychotropic medication compared to the settled population, with an adjusted OR of 0.32. There is also considerable variation between individual migrant groups. The study suggests the need for further qualitative research to better understand how different migrant groups respond to mental ill-health.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between implementation of mass media campaigns and community-based campaigns for increased fruit and vegetable consumption in Thailand. The results showed that exposure to these campaigns was associated with a significant increase in fruit and vegetable consumption, particularly among those who had a high level of perception and had heard or seen campaign information. Factors such as living in rural areas, being a farmer, and growing fruits and vegetables at home were also associated with higher consumption.

Summary: The study identifies the environmental drivers of population dynamics of a migratory butterfly, showing that factors such as vegetation productivity and wind conditions in sub-Saharan Africa play crucial roles in determining the size of immigration to western Europe. These findings suggest that regular mass migrations link populations of the painted lady butterfly on both sides of the Sahara, making it the longest known annual insect migration circuit.

Summary: The eMEN project aims to increase the dissemination and quality of eMH services in Europe through providing eight policy recommendations to support the implementation of eMH. Countries are at different stages of implementing eMH in mental healthcare, with common barriers including limited legal and regulatory frameworks. Policy recommendations include raising awareness, creating strong political commitment, and establishing reliable standards related to ethics and data security.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of peer reviews on healthcare quality improvement for people with haemoglobinopathy in the UK. The findings showed that haemoglobinopathy centres significantly improved their compliance to quality standards during the initial peer review programs, but not in the final program. Haemoglobinopathy departments were also less successful in addressing critical peer review recommendations compared to other disease groups.

Summary: This study examines the mediating role of dispositional optimism and intolerance to uncertainty in the relationship between discrimination and mental health. By surveying 919 adult Colombian migrants residing in Chile, it is found that both dispositional optimism and intolerance to uncertainty have a mediating effect on the relationship between discrimination and mental symptomatology.

Summary: Preconception genetic risk assessment is important in identifying couples at risk of genetic diseases and helping them make informed reproductive decisions before pregnancy. However, there is currently a lack of randomized controlled trials on preconception genetic risk assessment for thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and Tay-Sachs disease.
