Researchers will follow up to 300 participants over two years to examine how often AGS develops after tick bites, which factors may increase risk, how the immune system changes over time and how the condition affects patients’ daily lives and health care use. 

A PET scan can detect possible bone marrow involvement in people with rhabdomyosarcoma as reliably as the bone marrow sampling that has been the standard procedure to date. This was shown in a study by the University Medicine Halle and researchers from the Netherlands, Italy, and the United States, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The team analyzed data from over 300 patients. According to the findings, most patients — primarily children and adolescents — could be spared the painful tissue sampling.

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) conducts assessments of the volumes of antibiotics used in cattle, pigs, chickens and turkeys, as well as the frequency of treatment across various types of livestock, including purchased calves, dairy cows, fattening piglets and pigs, chickens raised for meat production, laying hens and young hens, and fattening turkeys. The latest report for 2025 shows a slight decline in total consumption of around three per cent compared with the previous year. “Since the introduction of the antibiotic minimisation scheme, the use of substances important for human medicine has been significantly reduced,” says BfR President Professor Andreas Hensel. “Furthermore, slight reductions in antibiotic use are already being recorded in many animal categories newly included in the system. However, a further reduction should be aimed for in the case of animals raised for meat production.”
