Objective: To investigate single potentially traumatic events and cumulative effects of these events based on the reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress and dissociation. An additional goal was to evaluate the psychometric properties of Life Incidence of Traumatic Events-Student scale (LITE-S). Methods: 400 adolescents from the normative population answered the questionnaire Life Incidence of

A craniopharyngioma (CP) is an embryonic malformation of the sellar and parasellar region. The annual incidence is 0.5-2.0 cases/million/year and approximately 60 % of CP are seen in adulthood. Craniopharyngiomas have the highest mortality of all pituitary tumors. Typical initial manifestations at diagnosis in adults are visual disturbances, hypopituitarism and symptoms of elevated intracranial pr

The paper focuses on the uniqueness issue for scalar convection-diffusion equations where both the convective flux and diffusion functions have a spatial discontinuity. An interface entropy condition is proposed at such a spatial discontinuity. It implies the Kružkov-type entropy condition presented by Karlsen et al. in 2003. They proved uniqueness when the convective flux function satisfies an ad

Background One way of preventing and solving drug-related problems in frail elderly is to perform team-based medication reviews. Objective To evaluate the quality of the clinical pharmacy service to primary care using structured medication reviews, focusing on the clinical significance of the recommendations made by clinical pharmacists. Setting A random sample of 150 patients (out of 1541) who re

The combination of melphalan, prednisone and thalidomide (MPT) is considered standard therapy for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are ineligible for stem-cell transplantation. Long term treatment with thalidomide is hampered by neurotoxicity. Melphalan, prednisone and lenalidomide, followed by lenalidomide maintenance therapy showed promising results, without severe neuro

There is no general agreement on the spirometric definition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The global initiative for obstructive lung disease recommends a fixed ratio between forced expiratory volume in one-second (FEV1 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC) of 0·7.

Mass spectrometry is a fundamental tool for discovery and analysis in the life sciences. With the rapid advances in mass spectrometry technology and methods, it has become imperative to provide a standard output format for mass spectrometry data that will facilitate data sharing and analysis. Initially, the efforts to develop a standard format for mass spectrometry data resulted in multiple format

has a center frequency of 100MHz and a passband of 10MHz. The filter architecture is insensitive to parasitic capacitances, which allows for the implementation of bandpass filters over a very large frequency range. Intrinsic parasitic Q-enhancement techniques have been used, thus, obviating the need for any additional Q-tuning circuitry. The presented filter has small implementation losses with ch

This chapter begins by providing a general contextualisation of hate speech and the controversies around it. It then asks two questions: Is Holocaust denial a form of hate speech? If the answer is positive, should Holocaust denial be banned?The second section explains what is hate speech. The third section is concerned with the relationship between hate speech and hate crime. The fourth section di

The newly emerged pathogen, Candida auris, presents a serious threat to public health worldwide. This multidrug-resistant yeast often colonizes and persists on the skin of patients, can easily spread from person to person, and can cause life-threatening systemic infections. New antifungal therapies are therefore urgently needed to limit and control both superficial and systemic C. auris infectio

This chapter studies the entanglements of autobiographical writing with activism in the work of Hamed Farmand (1976–), an Iranian child rights activist who lives in the diaspora. Farmand spent five years of his childhood in 1980s Iran without his mother, who was a political prisoner during this period. As an adult, he began reflecting on this experience and writing about his life across different

Increasing evidence suggests that Lewy body disease (LBD) is associated with clinically important cardiac complications, including sick sinus syndrome, atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. The high prevalence of sick sinus syndrome and atrial fibrillation in LBD suggests the presence of disease-related atrial conduction disorders. To explore whether LBD is associated with atrial conductio
