Introduction: Typically, magnetic resonance spectroscopy sequences attempting to measure glutamate aim to utilize the shortest echo time achievable to reduce the effects of J-coupling and T2 relaxation. However, in 2017, Wong et al. described the optimal echo time for glutamate detection for 7T semi-LASER proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to be in the range of 100 to 125ms, which ...

In the tripodinium cation of the title compound {systematic name: 2-[(E)-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-3-(pyrrolidin-1-ium-1-yl)prop-1-en-yl]pyridinium bis-(2,4,6-trinitro-phenolate)}, C(19)H(24)N(2) (+)·2C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), the N atoms on both the pyrrolidine and pyridinium groups are protonated. The pyrrolidine group adopts a slightly distorted envelope configuration. Strong N-H⋯O cation-anion hydro...

results no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of chronic low back pain; frequency of low back pain in clinical staff was 18% (18 individuals) and in office staff this was 17% (17 individuals) (p < 0.05). chronic low back pain in the clinical group might be related to flexion and extension, twisting, pulling or pushing, carrying, handling of patients, and sitting...

During taxonomic investigations of nematodes that parasitize millipedes, we reviewed the literature on the nematode genus Robertia Travassos & Kloss, 1961. This literature search also revealed the existence of two other identical genusgroup names for taxa in Chordata and Arthropoda: Robertia Boonstra, 1948 (extinct Permian non-mammalian synapsid) and Robertia Saaristo, 2006 (theridiid spider fr...

background: in order to evaluate educational courses, usually different criteria of student and academic staff are being used. these criteria for students include their number, fields, the ratio of post-garaduate students to all students, and for staff, they are composed of their number, their rank in the academic pyramid, as well as the ratio of students to academic staff classified based on t...

We examined the use of a staff-completed measure, the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for Children and Adolescents (HoNOSCA), to record mental health problems in adolescents in local authority secure accommodation. It proved possible to train staff and implement completion of the HoNOSCA on 64 consecutive admissions. Interrater reliability was high. The HoNOSCA identified high levels of psy...

After major incidents and disasters psychosocial support for the people affected is urgent and sometimes predominant. To plan and train staff for psychosocial intervention European and national guidelines have been developed. The European Policy Paper "Psychosocial support in situations of mass emergencies" offers guidance for policy-makers and health-planners. The quality and time of early psy...

Breaking bad news is one of the most burdensome tasks physicians face in their everyday practice. It becomes even more challenging in the context of HIV+ patients because of stigma and discrimination. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the quality of giving HIV seroconversion news according to SPIKES protocol. Numbers of 154 consecutive HIV+ patients from Imam Khomeini Hospital testing...
