METHODS National population-based survey data regarding FGM/C prevalence were applied to female migrants in the Netherlands who migrated from 29 countries with available nationally representative data on FGM/C. RESULTS As of January 1st 2018, there were 95,588 female migrants residing in the Netherlands, originating from 29 countries with available nationally representative data on FGM/C. Our findings suggest that about 41,000 women had undergone FGM/C, of which 37% had Type III (infibulation). In total 4,190 girls are estimated to be at risk of FGM/C in the next 20 years, of whom 394 were first-generation girls. CONCLUSION These findings show the urgency to develop appropriate strategies and policies to prevent FGM/C, to protect girls and women at risk of the practice, and to provide adequate services and support for those affected by FGM/C in the Netherlands.PURPOSE To investigate the longitudinal findings of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in relation to the morphologic features in Rdh5 knockout (Rdh5-/-) mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mouse retina was segmented into four layers; the inner retinal (A), outer plexiform and outer nuclear (B), rod/cone (C), and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid (D) layers. The thickness of each retinal layer of Rdh5-/- mice was longitudinally and quantitatively measured at six time points from postnatal months (PM) 1 to PM6 using SD-OCT. Age-matched C57BL/6J mice were employed as wild-type controls. The data were statistically compared using Student's t-test. The fundus appearance was assessed, histologic and ultrastructural examinations were performed in both group
