Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate a Health Service Executive (HSE) Foundation Programme in Sexual Health Promotion (FPSHP) with a specific emphasis on capacity building. Design: A mixed-method design using both quantitative and qualitative methods was used to collect the data. Setting: The FPSHP was delivered to staff working in health, education and community settings and was d...

Introduction: Studies of terrestrial peridotite and martian and achondritic meteorites have led to the conclusion that addition of chondritic material to growing planets or planetesimals, after core formation, occurred on Earth, Moon, Mars, asteroid 4 Vesta, and the parent body of the angritic meteorites [1-4]. One study even proposed that this was a common process in the final stages of growth...

In this thesis studies of two types of viral CNS-infections are presented; influenza related encephalitis and herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Influenza related encephalitis/encephalopathy has been reported to increase both in incidence and severity in the Japanese population the last decade. We wanted to assess the incidence of the disease in Sweden and evaluate the clinical picture of the d...

Diogenites and 4 Vesta: Diogenite meteorites are orthopyroxene ± olivine rich rocks that form part of the howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorite suite [1, 2]. The HED parent-body is thought to be the ~530 km diameter asteroid 4 Vesta [3, 4], target of the recently launched DAWN mission. Homogeneous Oisotope systematics for HED meteorites are consistent with wholesale melting of their paren...

A method to separate the effects of Heisenberg spin exchange (HSE) and dipole−dipole (DD) interactions on EPR spectra of nitroxide spin probes in solution by employing N and N nitroxide spin probes in parallel experiments is developed theoretically and tested experimentally. Comprehensive EPR measurements are reported of 4-oxo-2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidine-d16;1N-1-oxyl (perdeuterated N Tempone;...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies (NMDAR-Abs) can contribute to neurological relapse after herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE). We describe a child with NMDAR-Ab encephalitis after HSE, which was recognized and treated early. We discuss the case in the context of existing reports, and we propose a modified immunotherapy strategy to minimize risk of viral reactivation.

Methods: We held 8 PMT sessions (1.5 h each) for 20 staff members who were parents to children in the age range of 2–12 years. Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) and Occupational Descriptive Index [Health and Safety Executive (HSE)] were used for baseline and post-intervention data gathering. DAS higher scores indicate higher marital adjustment satisfaction and higher HSE scores indicate higher occu...

Background: Today, with the development of technology, the presence and role of human resources has been highlighted in industrial environments. Hence, the importance of safety culture is growing. Mining is the one of the most dangerous occupations. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of health, safety, and environment management system (HSE-MS) on safety climate in one ...

Three children are described in whom herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) followed a clearly biphasic course. The secondary deterioration may be due to a resurgence of the viral infection and calls into question the adequacy of current treatment regimens for HSE. Alternatively, a postinfectious neuroallergic process may be active in which case immunomodulatory treatment might be more appropriate t...

OBJECTIVES High index of suspicion is mandatory for early diagnosis of Herpes Simplex Encephalitis (HSE), since acyclovir therapy can prevent its mortality and limit morbidity. We report our observations on clinical spectrum, pitfalls in diagnosis and therapeutic aspects in patients of HSE. METHODS There were 34 patients of HSE (26 males and eight females) in age range 6 -72 (mean 23.8 +/- 8....
