Adolescents living with HIV are at higher risk of death and loss to follow up from care: Analysis of cohort data from eight health facilities in Ethiopia.

BACKGROUND:There are limited data on the treatment outcomes of adolescents living with HIV. Our objective was to compare mortality and loss to follow up (LTFU) rates between adolescent and younger age groups at enrollment in care.METHODS:This was a retrospective cohort study carried out in eight health facilities in two regions of Ethiopia.

Early repolarization pattern on ECG recorded before the acute coronary event does not predict ventricular fibrillation during ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Background: Generally considered benign, electrocardiographic (ECG) early repolarization (ER) pattern was claimed to be an indicator of increased susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias during acute ischemia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess in a nonselected population whether ER pattern documented before ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with risk of hem

Implementation of the Swedish Guideline for Prevention of Mental ill-health at the Workplace : study protocol of a cluster randomized controlled trial, using multifaceted implementation strategies in schools

BACKGROUND: Given today's high prevalence of common mental disorders and related sick leave among teachers, an urgent need exists for a more systematic approach to the management of social and organizational risk factors within schools. In 2015, we launched the first Swedish occupational health guideline to support a structured prevention of these risks at the workplace. The existence of guideline

A Photochemically Generated Selenyl Free Radical Observed by High Energy Resolution Fluorescence Detected X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

Selenium-based selenyl free radicals are chemical entities that may be involved in a range of biochemical processes. We report the first X-ray spectroscopic observation of a selenyl radical species generated photochemically by X-ray irradiation of low-temperature solutions of l-selenocysteine. We have employed high energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD-XAS) a

Can the lateralized readiness potential detect suppressed manual responses to pure tones?

Background: Willfully not responding to auditory stimuli hampers accurate behavioral measurements. An objective measure of covert manual suppression recorded during response tasks may be useful to assess the veracity of responses to stimuli. Purpose: To investigate whether the lateralized readiness potential (LRP), an electrophysiological measure of corticomotor response and suppression, may be of

Optical far-field extinction of a single GaAs nanowire towards in situ size control of aerotaxy nanowire growth

A substrate-free approach of semiconductor nanowire growth has been achieved by the aerotaxy technique previously. In this work, we propose an in situ method to monitor the size of nanowires through non-destructive optical-extinction measurements. Our work aims to build a theoretical look-up database of extinction spectra for a single nanowire of varying dimensions. We describe the origin of possi

Explaining decoupling in high income countries : A structural decomposition analysis of the change in energy footprint from 1970 to 2009

The decoupling of energy use from economic growth is an essential element in the transition to a sustainable future. However, little is known about the long-term drivers of decoupling, especially considering the possibility that it is at least partially due to increased trade. This study uses structural decomposition analysis to examine the main factors that contribute to changes in the energy foo

Identification of a bis-molybdopterin intermediate in molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis in escherichia coli

The molybdenum cofactor is an important cofactor, and its biosynthesis is essential for many organisms, including humans. Its basic form comprises a single molybdopterin (MPT) unit, which binds a molybdenum ion bearing three oxygen ligands via a dithiolene function, thus forming Mo-MPT. In bacteria, this form is modified to form the bis-MPT guanine dinucleotide cofactor with two MPT units coordina

O 2 reactions at the six-iron active site (H-cluster) in [FeFe]-hydrogenase

Irreversible inhibition by molecular oxygen (O 2) complicates the use of [FeFe]-hydrogenases (HydA) for biotechnological hydrogen (H 2) production. Modification by O 2 of the active site six-iron complex denoted as the H-cluster ([4Fe4S]-2Fe H) of HydA1 from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was characterized by x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the iron K-edge. In a time-resolved approach,
