INTRODUCTION AND AIMS This study adds to the meagre body of longitudinal research on the link between emotional distress and alcohol use among young people. We address the following research questions: Are symptoms of anxiety and depressed mood likely to be causally related to heavy episodic drinking (HED)? Does the association change as individuals move from adolescence to early adulthood? D...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare syndrome associated with aberrant development of the hair, teeth, and eccrine sweat glands (1). The majority of cases of HED are X-linked and are due to mutations of the gene coding for ectodysplasin-A, a member of the TNF superfamily (2). A minority of cases are autosomal recessive and are due to mutations in the ectodysplasin-A receptor, which...

Abstract Background The Holuhraun volcanic eruption September 2014 to February 2015 emitted large amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ). aim this study was determine the association between SO gases on general population respiratory health some 250 km from site, in Icelandic capital area. Methods Respiratory outcomes were: asthma medication dispensing (AMD) Medicines Register, medical doctor consul...

Autosomal recessive hereditary ectodermal dysplasia (HED) has not been described in sub-Saharan Africa. It is acknowledged to be rarer than the occasionally reported x-linked and autosomal dominant variants. We report a pair of Nigerian female twins with family history and clinical features suggestive of recessive HED, thereby showing the existence of this rare form in sub-Saharan Africa.

Research Article Guram Bezhanishvili, Nick Bezhanishvili, Joel Lucero-Bryan and Jan van Mill S4.3 and hereditarily extremally disconnected spaces Abstract: Themodal logic S4.3 de nes the class of hereditarily extremally disconnected spaces (HED-spaces). We construct a countable HED-subspaceX of the Gleason cover of the real closed unit interval [0, 1] such that S4.3 is the logic ofX.

AIM The aim of this study was to perform psychometric testing and estimate minimal important change (MIC) of two new patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments - Sexual Arousal, Interest and Drive Scale (SAID) and Hypogonadism Energy Diary (HED). METHODS New PRO instruments were administered immediately after screening (Time 1, test-retest subset only) and immediately prior to both randomisat...

Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare hereditary disorder. Its Hypohidrotic (HED) variant is also known as ChirstSiemens-Touraine syndrome. It is inherited as an Xlinked trait. Such Patients are characterized by the clinical manifestations of Hypodontia, Hypotrichosis, Hypohidrosis and a highly characteristic facial physiognomy. This article, reports a typical case of Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia...

The influence of damping is examined by comparing the flutter critical speeds and frequencies obtained using the complete equations of motion and those obtained when all the damping terms are omitted. The calculations are made for binary flexure-torsion flutter of a wing in incompressible flow and the comparisons extend over ranges of values of the principal parameters. When the ratio of air de...
