Overview of fungi and mycotoxin contamination in capsicum pepper and in its derivatives
Capsicum products are widely commercialised and consumed worldwide. These substrates present unusual nutritional characteristics for microbial growth. Despite this, the presence of spoilage fungi and the co-occurrence of mycotoxins in the pepper production chain have been commonly detected. The main aim of this work was to review the critical control points, with a focus on mycotoxin contamination, during the production, storage and distribution of Capsicum products from a safety perspective; outlining the important role of ecophysiological factors in stimulating or inhibiting mycotoxin biosynthesis in these food commodities. Moreover, the human health risks caused by the ingestion of peppers contaminated with mycotoxins were also reviewed. Overall, Capsicum and its derivative-products are highly susceptible to contamination by mycotoxins. Pepper crop production and further transportation, processing and storage are crucial for production of safe food.Chilean National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research

Sexual risk among Colombian adolescents: knowledge, attitudes, normative beliefs, perceived control, intention, and sexual behavior
Background: Colombia has one of the highest rates of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and pregnancies -
both of which are influenced by lack of condom use -, among adolescent population in Latin America; however,
the mechanisms underlying the inconsistent use of condoms in this population are poorly understood. This descriptive
and cross-sectional study’s purpose was to examine sexual behavior and its precursors using the theory of planned
behavior (TPB) and considering gender-based differences. Another objective was to study the mediating effect of
intention in the relationship between behavior precursors and condom use based on the TPB.
Methods: We recruited 1100 adolescents aged between 14 and 19 years old (M = 15.94, SD = 1.30, 54.4% female) from
Bogotá and Barranquilla, two of the cities with highest adolescent birth rates among adolescents in Colombia.
Sociodemographic variables, knowledge on HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV/AIDS-related
attitudes, including attitudes toward the use of condoms, normative beliefs, perceived behavioral control,
behavioral intention, and sexual behavior were assessed using self-reports. All analyses were run using SPSS v25.
The indirect effect of intention to explain the relationship between precursors and the use of condoms during
sexual intercourse was estimated using the PROCESS v3 macro.
Results: Descriptive analyses suggest a high risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections and unplanned
pregnancies associated to inconsistent condom use, medium-low level of knowledge about sexual health, low
normative beliefs regarding peers’ condom use, and a certain perceived difficulty for using condoms. Condoms
are used 71% of the times they have sex, but only 22% of the participants use them consistently; girls use
condoms more consistently than boys. Sexual risk characteristics differed significantly by gender. Mediation
analyses indicated that condom use intention mediates the relationship between behavioral precursors and
frequency of condom use, according to the TPB.
Conclusions: Findings provide a better understanding of sexual risk and highlight important implications for the
sexual and reproductive health of adolescents. There is a need of designing and implementing protocolized sexual
health promotion programs in schools with the aim of reducing sexual risk behaviors in Colombian adolescents
Adaptation of an effective school-based sexual health promotion program for youth in Colombia
Rationale: Given the disproportionate impact of HIV and STIs among youth in Latin America, there is a compelling need for effective sex education programs. In particular, Colombia lacks a nationally standardized youth
sex education program, despite the fact that 15 to 24-year-olds accounted for the highest incidence and prevalence rates of HIV and STIs in the nation. In an attempt to fill this void, our team adapted COMPAS, a Spanish
school-based sexual health promotion intervention, for Colombian adolescents. Objective: This study describes
the adaptation process that resulted in a modified version of COMPAS for youth in Colombia. Method: We
employed a systematic cultural adaptation process utilizing a mixed methods approach, including intervention
adaptation sessions with 100 young adolescents aged 15–19. The process included six steps: 1) consulting international researchers and community stakeholders; 2) capturing the lived experiences of a diverse sample of
colombian youth; 3) identifying priorities and areas in need of improvement; 4) integrating the social cognitive
theory, information-motivation-behavioral skills model, and an ecological framework for colombian youth; 5)
adapting intervention content, activities, and materials; and 6) quantitative evaluation of COMPAS by
Colombian youth. Results: The adapted intervention incorporates elements common to effective youth sex
education interventions, including: a solid theoretical foundation, sexual communication skills and social support for protection, and guidance on how to utilize available cultural- and linguistic-appropriate services. In
addition, the adapted intervention incorporates cultural and linguistic appropriate content, including an emphasis on tackling machismo to promote risk reduction behaviors. Conclusions: The systematic adaptation approach to sexual health intervention for youth can be employed by researchers and community stakeholders in
low-resource settings for the promotion of health wellness, linkage to care, and STI and unplanned pregnancy
prevention for youth
Intentional Storytelling to Sustain Low-cost/Free Breast Cancer Services: A Latina Example of Community-driven Advocacy
Background: Community-based public health advocacy efforts are crucial to sustaining the low-cost/free breast cancer services that support underserved populations.
Objectives: We introduce two ways in which narrative theory may be a useful tool for developing advocacy materials and provide an example, using a community–academic partnership to promote Latina breast health in Chicago, Illinois.
Methods: Community and academic partners 1) engaged 25 Spanish-speaking Latinas in an advocacy workshop, 2) leveraged narrative theory to develop multi-media advocacy materials, and 3) disseminated materials to policymakers.
Lessons Learned: Our project highlights 1) that narrative theory may be useful to describe how Latinas engage policy-makers in relation to their needs and cultural norms, 2) the importance of flexibility and offering community members multiple options to engage policymakers, and 3) the importance of leveraging partners’ complementary strengths.
Conclusions: Narrative theory may be a useful tool for developing advocacy materials in community–academic partnerships
La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Departamento del Tolima y Huila
Por medio de esta experiencia se logró realizar un reconocimiento a varios escenarios de violencia y sea la oportunidad para resaltar el caso de peñas coloradas, porque son historias muy conmovedores y a la vez interesante para abordar, debido a los emergentes psicosociales, a los impactos socio-políticos, las fracturas del tejido social y la resiliencia que se transmiten en los textos por las víctimas, las cuales requieren de un abordaje profesional con estrategias psicosociales que fortalezcan las emociones y el sentido de vida en los sobrevivientes con acciones de apoyo que permitan la reconstrucción y superación de su historia, con un verdadero sentido de vida.In the diploma on psychosocial support in scenes of violence, we found several cases from which the story of Carlos Arturo was selected, a story that takes place in a context of violence. This case provides the opportunity to formulate strategic, circular and reflective questions allowing an approach to the protagonist, who suffers the pain of violence caused by anti-personnel mines, irreparable human losses, which considerably affected the lives of several families, with psychosocial affectations, in these territories framed by violence, facing forced displacement, the loss of the value of life and their life projects.
Through this work, it was possible to recognize various scenarios of violence and this is the opportunity to highlight the case of peñas coloradas, because they are very moving stories and at the same time interesting to address, due to the psychosocial emergencies, the socio- social impacts. politics, the fractures of the social fabric and the resilience that are transmitted in the texts by the victims, which require a professional approach with psychosocial strategies that strengthen the emotions and sense of life in the survivors with supportive actions that allow reconstruction and overcoming its history, with a true meaning of life.
Taking into account each of the readings carried out and the approach to all the inputs for this phase, it is important to mention the photo-voice technique in violence scenarios, through which an analytical and reflective report was made that allowed learning significant in the professional training process, giving us relevant tools for the development of the new role, reaching impact conclusions, in addition, the wix page was prepared with photo-voice stories in scenes of violence.
This work allows developing skills, competencies and appropriation of knowledge, to analyze
narrative approaches through different stories from real life. Achieving an empowerment that allows the implementation of tools and techniques to carry out safe approaches that lead victims to receive quality help to get out of the crisis

Antimicrobial resistance among migrants in Europe: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are rising globally and there is concern that increased migration is contributing to the burden of antibiotic resistance in Europe. However, the effect of migration on the burden of AMR in Europe has not yet been comprehensively examined. Therefore, we did a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and synthesise data for AMR carriage or infection in migrants to Europe to examine differences in patterns of AMR across migrant groups and in different settings. METHODS: For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus with no language restrictions from Jan 1, 2000, to Jan 18, 2017, for primary data from observational studies reporting antibacterial resistance in common bacterial pathogens among migrants to 21 European Union-15 and European Economic Area countries. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to report data on carriage or infection with laboratory-confirmed antibiotic-resistant organisms in migrant populations. We extracted data from eligible studies and assessed quality using piloted, standardised forms. We did not examine drug resistance in tuberculosis and excluded articles solely reporting on this parameter. We also excluded articles in which migrant status was determined by ethnicity, country of birth of participants' parents, or was not defined, and articles in which data were not disaggregated by migrant status. Outcomes were carriage of or infection with antibiotic-resistant organisms. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled prevalence of each outcome. The study protocol is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42016043681. FINDINGS: We identified 2274 articles, of which 23 observational studies reporting on antibiotic resistance in 2319 migrants were included. The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or AMR infection in migrants was 25·4% (95% CI 19·1-31·8; I2 =98%), including meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (7·8%, 4·8-10·7; I2 =92%) and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (27·2%, 17·6-36·8; I2 =94%). The pooled prevalence of any AMR carriage or infection was higher in refugees and asylum seekers (33·0%, 18·3-47·6; I2 =98%) than in other migrant groups (6·6%, 1·8-11·3; I2 =92%). The pooled prevalence of antibiotic-resistant organisms was slightly higher in high-migrant community settings (33·1%, 11·1-55·1; I2 =96%) than in migrants in hospitals (24·3%, 16·1-32·6; I2 =98%). We did not find evidence of high rates of transmission of AMR from migrant to host populations. INTERPRETATION: Migrants are exposed to conditions favouring the emergence of drug resistance during transit and in host countries in Europe. Increased antibiotic resistance among refugees and asylum seekers and in high-migrant community settings (such as refugee camps and detention facilities) highlights the need for improved living conditions, access to health care, and initiatives to facilitate detection of and appropriate high-quality treatment for antibiotic-resistant infections during transit and in host countries. Protocols for the prevention and control of infection and for antibiotic surveillance need to be integrated in all aspects of health care, which should be accessible for all migrant groups, and should target determinants of AMR before, during, and after migration.

Immunological non-inferiority of a new fully liquid presentation of the MenACWY-CRM vaccine to the licensed vaccine : results from a randomized, controlled, observer-blind study in adolescents and young adult
A fully liquid MenACWY-CRM vaccine presentation has been developed, modifying the meningococcal serogroup A (MenA) component from lyophilized to liquid. The safety and immunogenicity of the liquid presentation at the end of the intended shelf-life (aged for 24 or 30 months) were compared to the licensed lyophilized/liquid presentation. This multicenter, randomized (1:1), observer-blind, phase 2b study (NCT03433482) enrolled adolescents and young adults (age 10-40 years). In part 1, 844 participants received one dose of liquid presentation stored for approximately 24 months or licensed presentation. In part 2, 846 participants received one dose of liquid presentation stored for approximately 30 months or licensed presentation. After storage, the MenA free saccharide (FS) level was approximately 25% and O-acetylation was approximately 45%. The primary objective was to demonstrate non-inferiority of the liquid presentation to licensed presentation, as measured by human serum bactericidal assay (hSBA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) against MenA, 1-month post-vaccination. Immune responses against each vaccine serogroup were similar between groups. Between-group ratios of hSBA GMTs for MenA were 1.21 (part 1) and 1.11 (part 2), with two-sided 95% confidence interval lower limits (0.94 and 0.87, respectively) greater than the prespecified non-inferiority margin (0.5), thus meeting the primary study objective. No safety concerns were identified. Despite reduced O-acetylation of MenA and increased FS content, serogroup-specific immune responses induced by the fully liquid presentation were similar to those induced by the licensed MenACWY-CRM vaccine, with non-inferior anti-MenA responses. The safety profiles of the vaccine presentations were similar.GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SAhttps://www.tandfonline.com/journals/KHVIMedical Microbiolog
