BACKGROUND Private practitioners with contracts with the regional health authorities have an important place among the treatment options provided by the psychiatric specialist health service. Little information is available on the part such specialists in private practice should play in the treatment of patients with personality disorders. This study describes private practitioners' experiences...

Immunohistochemical study of perivascular plaques (PPs) in 7 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 4 with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)(CAA with dementia in 3 patients and CAA with massive cerebral hemorrhage in 1 patient) demonstrated that PPs were also a common form of amyloid P (AP) deposits, like SPs and CAAs, in both AD and CAA, and that they had similar immunostaining characteris...

A packet switch with parallel switching planes is a parallel packet switch (PPS). A PPS can scale-up to faster line speeds than can a singleplane switch. It is an open problem to design a PPS that is feasible to implement using existing low-cost hardware components where no component runs faster than line speed. A PPS must be able to internally load balance traffic, have packet delays comparabl...

The space around the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal neurons integrating tactile, visual, and auditory stimuli occurring near the body. PPS is plastic, because it extends by using a tool to reach far objects. Although interactions with others occur within PPS, little is known ...

INTRODUCTION Exogenous surfactant has been explored as a potential therapy for acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the present study, a nebuliser driven by oxygen lines found in the hospital was developed to deliver aerosolised porcine pulmonary surfactant (PPS). We hypothesised that aerosolised surfactant inhaled through spontaneous breathing may effectiv...

Pretreatment of mice with anti-asialo GM1, which has been shown to deplete NK cytolytic activity without affecting cytotoxic T cells or macrophages, increased the weak anti-PPS 6 responses of adult mice to levels similar to that of their anti-PPS 3 responses, and increased the weak-to-absent anti-PPS 3 and anti-PPS 6 responses of weanling mice to the same levels as achieved by adult mice. By co...

The study was conducted to estimate the extent to which pressure pain sensitivity (PPS) and patient factors predict pain-related disability in patients with neck pain (NP), and to determine if PPS differs by gender. Forty-four participants with a moderate level of chronic NP were recruited for this cross sectional study. All participants were asked to complete self-reported assessments of pain,...

Antimicrobial resistance is a local, national and global health priority. With the emergence of new infections as demonstrated by COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to conserve effectiveness antimicrobials crucial. Public Health England’s (PHE) UK 20-year vision for antimicrobial stewardship states that one key objectives over next 20 years demonstrate optimal use antimicrobials. A digital approach...
