Differences in antipsychotic treatment between depressive patients with and without a suicide attempt

Background: Depressed suicide attempters are, according to some earlier studies, treated more often with antipsychotics than depressive non-suicide attempters. Cluster B personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorder, are associated with a high suicide risk, and antipsychotics are commonly used for the reduction of symptoms. However, no previous study has taken comorbid personal

Oral delivery of all-trans retinoic acid mediated by liposome carriers

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a molecule that finds wide applications in medicine. Connection between cancer cell proliferation and ATRA is a well-established item. Driven by the potential applications of liposomes in stabilizing and protecting therapeutic compounds thus enabling effective delivery of encapsulated compounds, recent research efforts have been directed to understanding mechanism

Polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC) : The key enzyme for biopolyester synthesis

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered good candidates in replacing commercial petrochemical plastics in certain applications like single-use packaging since they are biodegradable, biocompatible and share similar properties with conventional plastics. PHA synthase (PhaC) is the key enzyme in PHA biosynthesis. There are four classes of PhaC, namely, class I, class II, class III and class IV,

The Mitochondrial Epigenome : An Unexplored Avenue to Explain Unexplained Myopathies?

Mutations in either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial proteins may lead to dysfunctional mitochondria, giving rise to mitochondrial diseases. Some mitochondrial myopathies, however, present without a known underlying cause. Interestingly, methylation of mtDNA has been associated with various clinical pathologies. The present study set out to assess whether mtDNA

Landscape of surfaceome and endocytome in human glioma is divergent and depends on cellular spatial organization

Therapeutic strategies directed at the tumor surfaceome (TS), including checkpoint inhibitor blocking antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, provide a new armament to fight cancer. However, a remaining bottleneck is the lack of strategies to comprehensively interrogate patient tumors for potential TS targets. Here, we have developed a platform (

Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Genetic Adaptation of Bartonella Adhesin A Among Different Bartonella henselae Isolates

Bartonella henselae is the causative agent of cat scratch disease and other clinical entities such as endocarditis and bacillary angiomatosis. The life cycle of this pathogen, with alternating host conditions, drives evolutionary and host-specific adaptations. Human, feline, and laboratory adapted B. henselae isolates often display genomic and phenotypic differences that are related to the express

Train Passes and Dwell Time Delays

Traffic on railways is increasing and this makes train traffic to be highly interconnected . This paper investigates how passing of train affects dwell time delays in Sweden. Three scenarios are considered by combining the scheduled and actual operations: passes that happened as scheduled, unscheduled passes that happened in operations, and scheduled passes that were cancelled. A logistic regressi

Passenger flows and dwell times for commuter trains in Stockholm

This study investigates how the volume and flow of passengers affect dwell times, usingdata from commuter trains in Stockholm. We show that dwell times often take longer thanscheduled and that most station stops involve rather limited numbers of passengers.Improving the performance at these stops with small volumes can thus have a sizeableimpact on the overall on-time performance.

Train delays due to trackwork in Sweden

Only well-maintained railway systems can function without severe interruptions. However,maintenance activities can themselves cause train delays if they conflict with trainmovements. Trackwork refers to maintenance performed on a railway track. This studyaims to investigate the effect of trackwork on train delays in Sweden. It presents a logisticregression analysis based on more than 225,000 plannOnly well-maintained railway systems can function without severe interruptions.

New Insights into the Interaction of Class II Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenases with Ubiquinone in Lipid Bilayers as a Function of Lipid Composition

The fourth enzymatic reaction in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, the oxidation of dihydroorotate to orotate, is catalyzed by dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Enzymes belonging to the DHODH Class II are membrane-bound proteins that use ubiquinones as their electron acceptors. We have designed this study to understand the interaction of an N-terminally truncated human DHODH (HsΔ29DHODH) an

Improving commuter train punctuality using lead indicators

Train delays are often monitored using lag indicators of achieved punctuality levels, but indicators can also be used proactively aslead indicators to help reach a certain level of punctuality. In this paper, two lead indicators – the share of delayed dwell times andthe share of delayed run times – are formulated and tested on Swedish commuter train data for the years 2001-2020.
