BACKGROUND: Paliperidone palmitate is a once-monthly injectable, atypical antipsychotic. To our knowledge, there has been only one report of paliperidone palmitate-induced angioedema presenting with acute laryngeal edema with subsequent respiratory arrest. Here, we present a case report of paliperidone palmitate-induced angioedema with a relatively mild clinical presentation compared with the prev

Spatial variation in community composition may be driven by a variety of processes, including environmental filtering and dispersal limitation. While work has been conducted on the relative importance of these processes on various taxa and at varying resolutions, tests using high-resolution empirical data across large spatial extents are sparse. Here, we use a dataset on the presence/absence of br

The emergent patterns of collective motion are thought to arise from application of individual-level rules that govern how individuals adjust their velocity as a function of the relative position and behaviours of their neighbours. Empirical studies have sought to determine such rules of interaction applied by 'average' individuals by aggregating data from multiple individuals across multiple traj

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is available worldwide, is carbon neutral, and can be converted to various types of products depending on the market and on the specific applications. Among different technologies of biomass utilization, thermochemical conversion of biomass is the most efficient method with the shortest time scale of the process. Thermochemical conversion can be used to produ

In the late stage of Parkinson's disease (PD), there is an increasing disease burden not only for the patients but also for their informal caregivers and the health and social services systems. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of late-stage PD patients' and their informal caregivers' satisfaction with care and support, in order to better understand how they perceive the treatment a

The high rate of disability pensioners is alarming in many industrial countries today. In Sweden the rate was 9.5% of the population aged 16-54 years in March 2005. Through new legislation, which came into force 2000, disability pensioners in Sweden are able to go back to work without jeopardising their benefit. This 'resting disability pension' was used by 0.2% of all disability pensioners in SweThe high rate of disability pensioners is alarming in many industrial countries today.

Estimating age distributions, or star formation histories, of stellar populations in the Milky Way is important in order to study the evolution of trends in elemental abundances and kinematics. We build on previous work to develop an algorithm for estimating the age-metallicity distribution which uses the full age-metallicity probability density functions (PDFs) of individual stars. No assumptions

Social entrepreneurship is often depicted as the solution to the various problems we have in society today. In the mainstream literature, it tends to be presented as a site of empowerment, inclusion, morality and compassion. However, while much attention has been granted the ‘entrepreneurship’ part of the term, we know less about the ‘social’ in social entrepreneurship. The meaning of the ‘social’

The essay follows the theoretical framework of the fantastic as settled by TzvetanTodorov and aims at identifying the place of the Romanian novella within this classification. For the fantastic as strangeness the essay identifies within the novella: the hesitation of the reader between the reality and the imaginary, the events as a result of one’s imagination due to madness or to dream; the hesita

We show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three genomic nomenclature systems to all sequence data from the World Health Organization European Region available until 10 July 2020. We highlight the importance of real-time sequencing and data

Discordant U–Pb data of zircon are commonly attributed to Pb loss from domains with variable degree of radiation damage that resulted from α-decay of U and Th, which often complicates the correct age interpretation of the sample. Here we present U–Pb zircon data from 23 samples of ca. 1.7–1.9 Ga granitoid rocks in and around the Siljan impact structure in central Sweden. Our results show that zirc

In this paper, paraffin mixed with nanoparticles Al2O3, CuO, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared for cooling multiple heat sources. For thermal management of heat sources, performances of the composite phase change materials (PCMs) were investigated at different heating power. Enhanced performance in terms of heat sources temperature, temperature difference between two heat so

Water purification is one of the most essential services provided by wetlands. A lot of concerns regarding wetlands subjected to climate change relate to their susceptibility to hydrological change and the increase in temperature as a result of global warming. A warmer condition may accelerate the rate of decomposition and release of nutrients, which can be exported downstream and cause serious ec
