BACKGROUND The term nutcracker phenomenon (NCP) elucidates anatomical structure and hemodynamics, whereas nutcracker syndrome (NCS) refers to clinical manifestations. We present three cases of similar clinical features of hematuria and flank pain with different clinical outcomes. CASE REPORT Case 1: A 36-year-old Caucasian female with a past medical history (PMH) of HIV infection presented for ...

This paper discusses processes and experiences gained from creating a national portal (Uppsök) for Swedish undergraduate theses, using a common metadata model and set structure with agreements on semantics on top of OAI-PMH and harvesting from several data providers into a central service provider at the Swedish Royal Library.

OAC (Open Archives Cataloger) is a project aimed at improving metadata management for large corpora of multilingual texts, allowing document storage in distributed repositories. The main technical contribution is the implementation of the OAI-PMH protocol for the Zope web server, including the full repertory of functions: data provider, metadata harvester, static repository gateway, and service...

We will present a new component of our technical framework that was built to provide a brought range of reusable web services for the enhancement of typical scientific retrieval processes. The proposed component computes betweenness of authors in co-authorship networks extracted from publicly available metadata that was harvested using OAI-PMH.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CTA is becoming the frontline modality to reveal aneurysms in patients with SAH. However, in about 20% of SAH patients no aneurysm is found. In these cases, intra-arterial DSA is still performed. Our aim was to evaluate whether negative findings on CTA can reliably exclude aneurysms in patients with acute SAH. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis ...

BACKGROUND The dual continuum model suggests that positive mental health not only implies the absence of mental illness, but also constitutes an entity of its own. Measures that encompass both positive and negative mental health in young adults are rare. Thus, we assessed whether dimensions corresponding to positive and negative mental health could be identified in a sample of young individuals...

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, young adults have experienced many maladaptive symptoms that consequently affected their mental health. Most studies examined risk factors of health while ignoring protective factors. This longitudinal study aims to investigate whether daily stress, depression, anxiety and positive a predictive effect on psychological burden COVID-19. We ...
