METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Child Health Information Services records within the NHS England South (South Central) commissioning boundary. The sample population included children born 1 September 2000-31 August 2001, in school year 9 during the 2014-15 academic year. RESULTS The primary outcome findings show an increase in coverage of at least one dose of MMR by 1.6% (n = 334) in the cohort receiving catch-up MMR, compared to 0.2% (n = 12) in the cohort signposted to general practice. Over time, the difference in increase between the two cohorts was 1.4%, analysed using the chi-squared comparison of proportions test, providing strong evidence (P  less then  0.0001) that school nurse delivery of catch-up MMR is effective at increasing coverage. The findings also suggest that school nurse delivery of catch-up MMR may benefit Black, Asian and minority ethnic children and those from more deprived backgrounds. CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that commissioners of school-aged immunization services incorporate the delivery of catch-up MMR doses in their contracts with school nurses. © The Author(s) 2020.

Recent animal data suggest that GLP-1 may also influence reproduction. As GLP-1 receptor agonists are currently widely used in clinical practice to treat obesity/type 2 diabetes, it is necessary to determine the effects of GLP-1 on the reproductive system in humans. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of GLP-1 administration on the reproductive axis in humans. DESIGN Single-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled crossover study. SETTING Clinical Research Facility, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. PARTICIPANTS Eighteen healthy men (mean age 24.7±0.1years, mean BMI 22.1±0.4kg/m2). INTERVENTION Eight-hour intravenous infusion of 0.8pmol/kg/min GLP-1 or rate-matched vehicle infusion. Tween 80 MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Number of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulses, LH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone levels. RESULTS The number of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulses (number of LH pulses/500min vehicle 4.2±0.4, GLP-1 4.5±0.3, p=0.46), LH area under the curve (AUC) (vehicle 1518±88min.IU/L, GLP-1 1524±101min.IU/L, p=0.95), follicle stimulating hormone AUC (vehicle 1210±112min.IU/L, GLP-1 1216±112min.IU/L, p=0.86) and testosterone AUC (vehicle 10893±615min.nmol/L, GLP-1 11088±792min.nmol/L, p=0.77) did not significantly differ during vehicle and GLP-1 administration. GLP-1 significantly reduced food intake (vehicle 15.7±1.3kcal/kg, GLP-1 13.4±1.3kcal/kg, p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS In contrast to the animal literature, our data demonstrate that acute GLP-1 administration does not affect reproductive hormone secretion in healthy men. © Endocrine Society 2020.The attraction of necrophagous insects, particularly blow flies, to corpses and carrion is of ecological, economic, and agricultural importance, although the mechanisms by which it occurs are not well understood. Much of the published research on blow fly attractants has focused on volatiles emitted from carrion surrogates, but little attention has been given to the possibility that blow fly eggs themselves may emit chemical cues that are responsible for conspecific and heterospecific insect attraction. In this study, the headspace volatiles emitted from eggs representing two aggregated oviposition events that were collected 1 mo apart from two species of the Calliphoridae family (Order Diptera), Lucilia sericata (Meigen), and Phormia regina (Meigen) were analyzed via solid-phase microextraction-facilitated GC-MS. The volatiles' profiles were found to be consistent between samples representing the same species, but unique between the two species. Over 100 molecules covering a wide range of compound classes that included alcohols, aldehydes, esters, amines, ketones, and organosulfur compounds were identified. The profile of volatiles emitted from the L. sericata eggs contained several alkanes and aldehydes, whereas salient features of the P. regina headspace included numerous esters and ketones. Between the two species, 42 compounds were shared, several of which were carboxylic acids. Little overlap between the range of compounds detected and those reported to be emitted from decomposing remains was observed. © The Author(s) 2020.

Many mosquito species are rarely collected in Canada and their history is poorly understood; thus assessing their potential role as vectors for pathogenesis is difficult. Mosquitoes were collected from four trapping sites in Quebec Province, Canada, from June to September during 2018 and 2019 using BG sentinel traps. From all morphologically identified female mosquitoes, at least one specimen was selected for identification confirmation using the DNA-barcoding technique. Sequences were subjected to alignment and a Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree was created using Geneious software. In total, 2,752 female mosquitoes belonging to 20 species over five genera including Aedes (Ae.), Anopheles (An.), Culex (Cx.), Culiseta (Cu.), Coquillettidia (Cq.) were collected. The predominant mosquito was found to be Ae. cinereus. The highest number of mosquito species was captured in July, followed by August, September, and then June.
