BACKGROUND A 10-question screening scale of psychological distress and a six-question short-form scale embedded within the 10-question scale were developed for the redesigned US National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). METHODS Initial pilot questions were administered in a US national mail survey (N = 1401). A reduced set of questions was subsequently administered in a US national telephone s...

Synthesis of indole derivatives was investigated and compared to the reaction of phenylhydrazine and ketones in the presence of the heterogeneous catalysts like kaolinite, montmorillonite K10 and Fe3O4 MNPs in ethanol under reflux conditions. After comparing the HPLC chromatogram of products it was compared and found that kaolin and montmorillonite K10 are better and more efficient candidate th...

The primary habitat of Staphylococcus aureus in man is the moist squamous epithelium of the anterior nares. We showed previously that S.aureus adheres to desquamated epithelial cells and that clumping factor B, a surface located MSCRAMM known for its ability to bind to the α-chain of fibrinogen, is in part responsible (O'Brien, L.M., Walsh, E.J., Massey, R.C., Peacock, S.J. and Foster, T.J., 20...

In the context of the superconformal N = 4 SYM theory the Konishi anomaly can be viewed as the descendant K10 of the Konishi multiplet in the 10 of SU(4), carrying the anomalous dimension of the multiplet. Another descendant O10 with the same quantum numbers, but this time without anomalous dimension, is obtained from the protected half-BPS operator O20′ (the stress-tensor multiplet). Both K10 ...

Psychological screening of large numbers of personnel returning from deployments should be as brief as possible without sacrificing the ability to detect individuals who are experiencing serious psychological difficulties. This study focused on screening for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology in 421 deployed male members of the Australian Army while they were on deployment and ...

The expression of distinct keratin pairs during epidermal differentiation is assumed to fulfill specific and essential cytoskeletal functions. This is supported by a great variety of genodermatoses exhibiting tissue fragility because of keratin mutations. Here, we show that the loss of K10, the most prominent epidermal protein, allowed the formation of a normal epidermis in neonatal mice withou...
