DOUBLE BURDEN OF MALNUTRITION AMONG MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES: A MIXED-METHODS SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

Double burden of malnutrition among migrants and refugees in developed countries: A mixed-methods systematic review.

Migrants and refugees living in high income countries (HICs) have an increased risk of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) due to malnutrition at different stages over their life course.This systematic review aims to examine the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) among migrants and refugees in developed countries.This review was informed b

Mass spectrometry of the white adipose metabolome in a hibernating mammal reveals seasonal changes in alternate fuels and carnitine derivatives

Mammalian hibernators undergo substantial changes in metabolic function throughout the seasonal hibernation cycle.We report here the polar metabolomic profile of white adipose tissue isolated from active and hibernating thirteen-lined ground squirrels (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus).Polar compounds in white adipose tissue were extracted from five grou

Using weakly conserved motifs hidden in secretion signals to identify type-III effectors from bacterial pathogen genomes.

BackgroundAs one of the most important virulence factor types in gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, type-III effectors (TTEs) play a crucial role in pathogen-host interactions by directly influencing immune signaling pathways within host cells.Based on the hypothesis that type-III secretion signals may be comprised of some weakly conserved sequence
