Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) occur frequently as comorbid diagnoses among adolescents. Historically, these conditions have been treated using a sequential model; however, emerging evidence suggests that an integrated treatment model may be most effective. This article presents two de-identified clinical case studies from an ongoing randomised controlled tr

A microcalorimetric vessel for monitoring the initial phases of cytotoxic reactions in the micro-submicrowatt region has been designed and tested. The vessel is intended to be used witha multichannel microcalorimetric system from Thermometric, Järfälla, Sweden and can be built up stepwise in a modular way. The different functions of perfusion, stirring and addition of small amounts of soluble immu

The article explores the Norwegian ‘national ballad’ Draumkvæde (the Dream Song) in Maren Ramskeid’s version. This work has traditionally been interpreted as a folklore adaptation of medieval visionary literature such as the Vision of Tundale, related to Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. The ballad, however, lacks demons and devils and infernal torture – it is even almost completely devoid of humanThe article explores the Norwegian ‘national ballad’ Draumkvæde (the Dream Song) in Maren Ramskeid’s version.

Covid-19 innebär en extrem utmaning för den svenska sjukvården. Denna rapport är en sammanställning utifrån en enkätstudie med sjukvårdsanställda om deras arbetsförhållande, upplevelse av smittskydd, om organisationens ledningsarbete, arbetsmiljö, sin hälsa, etc. under Covid-19 pandemin september - december 2020.Studien ingår i en longitudinellt projekt där den första mätningen gjordes våren med s

The performance of the ATLAS Inner Detector alignment has been studied using pp collision data at s=13TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 (2015–2018) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The goal of the detector alignment is to determine the detector geometry as accurately as possible and correct for time-dependent movements. The Inner Detector alignment is based on the minimization

In magnetomotive ultrasound imaging, the tissue displacement due to a magnetic force on embedded magnetic nanoparticles is measured. It was previously shown that the nanoparticle contrast agent exhibits a non-linear magnetization characteristic, which is also reflected in the magnetomotive force. However, this non-linearity was rarely taken into account for the application. Here, the implications

Introduction: The benefits of simulation-based medical training are well described. The most effective way to plant and scale simulation training in rural locations remains undescribed. We sought to plant simulation training programmes for anaesthesia emergencies in two rural Indian hospitals. Methods: Two Indian consultant anaesthetists without experience in medical simulation underwent a 3-day c

Abstract SummaryIn the late 1920s, Åke Gustafsson and Herman Nilsson-Ehle started experiments of induced mutations at the Svalöf Plant Breeding Station in Sweden. Already in the mid-1930s, the first viable mutations appeared, and in 1940 an extended research program was set up. Gustafsson devoted much of his scientific career to mutation research. With funding granted by the Swedish government, he

Microvesicles are shed from cell surfaces during infectious or inflammatory conditions and may contribute to the pathogenesis of disease. During Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection, microvesicles are released from blood cells. These microvesicles play a part in inflammation, thrombosis, hemolysis, and the transfer of the main virulence factor of STEC strains, Shiga toxin, to ta

Det är på tiden att västvärlden och Sverige tar sin hand ifrån den egyptiske diktatorn, Mubarak, och stödjer det egyptiska folket i sin strävan mot demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter.

This study evaluated the role of endogenous and exogenous annexin A1 (AnxA1) in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in isolated peritoneal neutrophils. C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and AnxA1 knockout mice (AnxA1-/-) received 0.3% carrageenan intraperitoneally and, after 3 h, the peritoneal exudate was collected. WT and AnxA1-/- neutrophils were then stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, followed by t

The aims of this study was to review the practical of the immediate vaginal diagnosis by Gram staining in the gynecological practice. The elucidation and characterization of the vaginal microorganisms is important for providing a better understanding of the women’s health and diseases, as well as the search for adequate diagnosis and treatment. Here we described the processes about the approaches

Metolachlor is a selective pre-emergent herbicide widely used in agriculture to control weeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of metolachlor on reproductive performance of adult rats, as well as its teratogenic potential when administered during the period of organogenesis. Pregnant adult female rats were allocated into 4 experimental groups (n = 10 group-1), that recei

Recently, a 1.83 Å crystallographic structure of nitrogenase was suggested to show N2-derived ligands at three sites in the catalytic FeMo cluster, replacing the three μ2 bridging sulfide ligands (two in one subunit and the third in the other subunit) (Kang et al. in Science 368: 1381–1385, 2020). Naturally, such a structure is sensational, having strong bearings on the reaction mechanism of the e
