Despite availability of effective treatments, migrants in high-income countries seek care for conditions associated with stigma to a lower extent than the rest of the population. We conducted a scoping review to map the literature on interventions to increase migrants' care-seeking behaviour in high-income countries for stigmatised conditions. Main body of the abstract We searched 15 electronic databases and journals, hand-searched references and citations, to identify studies on interventions to increase migrants' care-seeking in high-income countries for stigmatised conditions. We applied language restrictions for English and Swedish, and searched the full time period up to 5 July 2019. Our primary outcome of interest was care utilisation.

5447 records were identified in the literature searches. We identified 16 eligible studies, all from North America, that reported interventions to increase migrants' care-seeking behaviour for hepatitis B (n = 1) and mental health (n = 15). Three approaches were identemaining gaps and to boost the scope and reliability of the evidence.

Sedation with chloral hydrate or anesthesia using propofol allow ocular examination and testing in young children, but these drugs may affect electrophysiologic recordings. We compared the flash and pattern ERGs and VEPs recorded with each drug in a cohort of young children enrolled in a prospective study of optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) syndrome.

ERGs and VEPs to light-adapted, standard, full-field flashes, to standard and steady-state pattern-reversal (PR) were recorded with cycloplegia in 9 participants. Age range at the first session, with chloral hydrate was 8-23 mo; at the second session with propofol it was 20-29 mo. Examiners masked to the drug and clinical conditions measured the waveforms for longitudinal, paired comparisons between the sessions.

Flash ERG amplitudes did not differ between sessions; peak times were longer at the second session (propofol) by clinically insignificant amounts (< 2ms, p = 0.002). Standard PERGs had larger amplitudes and later peaks in the second session (propofothe waveforms may be drug-related. There are insufficient VEP data from these children with ONH to identify drug-related or maturational effects on VEPs.

Light-adapted flash ERG waveforms were generally similar with chloral hydrate and with propofol. Larger PERGs with later peaks, found in the second session (propofol) could reflect maturation of the PERG generators, as the differences found were associated with a greater age difference between the sessions, but we do not rule out that small differences in the waveforms may be drug-related. There are insufficient VEP data from these children with ONH to identify drug-related or maturational effects on VEPs.

To investigate the relationship of habitual FV intake, different types of FV, and vegetable diversity with depressive symptoms.

Australian men and women (n = 4105) aged > 25years from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study were included. Dietary intake was assessed using a Food Frequency Questionnaire at baseline, 5 and 12years. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the validated 10-item Centre for Epidemiology Studies Short Depression Scale at 12years. Multiple logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the exposures of interest and depressive symptoms using odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) across quartiles of FV intake and vegetable diversity. Analyses were multivariable-adjusted for confounding factors.

At 12years, 425 (10.4%) participants had "any depressive symptoms". Habitual FV intake was inversely associated with depressive symptoms at 12years. After adjustment, participants in quartile 2 of FV intake (Q2; median 317g/day) had intake, may have a significant public health impact.

This study aimed to identify the association between health-related physical indicators-sarcopenia-related factors, physical fitness, independence in activities of daily living (ADL) and habitual physical activity-and self-rated quality of life (QoL) in people with neurocognitive disorder (NCD).

This cross-sectional study included 115 participants (78.22 ± 7.48years; 74.8% female) clinically diagnosed with NCD. Self-rated QoL was evaluated using The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QoL-AD). Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry, handgrip strength, Short Physical Performance Battery, and the 6-m Walk test were used to assess sarcopenia-related factors. Senior Fitness Test and One Leg Balance test, Barthel Index, Baecke Modified Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire were used to determine physical fitness, independence in ADL and physical activity, respectively. Regressions analyses were performed to examine associations between these variables and QoL-AD.

Data from univariable linear regression analysis revealed that self-rated QoL was associated with sarcopenia-related factors (lower body function, handgrip strength, gait speed, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index-ASMI), physical fitness (upper-and-lower-body strength, agility/dynamic balance, cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index), habitual physical activity and independence in ADL. Results from multivariable regression analysis showed that ASMI (B = 1.846, 95% CI 0.165-3.527, p = 0.032) and lower body function (B = 0.756, 95% CI 0.269-1.242, p = 0.003) were positively associated with self-rated QoL. These variables explained 20.1% of the variability seen in self-rated QoL, controlling for age, sex, marital status and education.

Sarcopenia-related factors, namely lower body function and ASMI, should be acknowledged in future research studies as critical health-related indicators associated with QoL in people with NCD.
