BACKGROUND No large-scale epidemiological study has included adjustment disorders (AD) for consideration yet it is considered to be a common psychiatric diagnosis. METHODS Using a two stage screening method, those above a threshold score for possible caseness on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), were interviewed using SCAN to identify those with depressive episode and AD. Variables that mi...

Polysomnography, including EEG recording, is the standard method to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adults. Diagnosis of OSA would be considerably simplified if it was shown that sleep could be distinguished from wakefulness without EEG recordings. Therefore, we compared sleep/wakefulness classification using a simplified cardiorespiratory-video (CRV) method with standard...

We investigated protein abundance in order to differentiate radiation-associated papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) from other etiologies for e.g. forensic purposes. Proteins were extracted from frozen tissues originating from 91 sporadic PTCs and 86 post-Chernobyl PTCs. Proteins were separated gel-electrophoretically, gels were silver stained, spots scanned and their intensity quantified. After e...

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) structures are attached to many cell surface glycoproteins in lower and higher eukaryotes. GPI structures are particularly abundant in trypanosomatid parasites where they can be found attached to complex phosphosaccharides, as well as to glycoproteins, and as mature surface glycolipids. The high density of GPI structures at all life-cycle stages of African try...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore dimensionality of the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and examine whether self-reported pain and functioning can be distinguished in the form of subscales. METHODS This was a secondary data analysis of the UK NHS hospital episode statistics/patient-reported outcome measures dataset containing pre-operative OHS scores on 97 487 patients who were unde...
