Aim: To investigate self-reported needs for care, support and treatment among persons who frequently visit psychiatric emergency rooms (PERs).Design: A cross-sectional design. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected using an interview-based manual. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis, whereas quantitative data were analysed using descriptive, non-parametric statistical t
The interaction between living groups A, C and G streptococci and IgG Fc was studied using human IgG, IgG Fc and IgG Fc-intermediate (Fci) fragments, chemically modified human IgG and fragment D of staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Diethylpyrocarbonate modification of His or N-acetylimidazole modification of Tyr of human IgG resulted in the loss of its capacity to inhibit the binding of radiolabelle
Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway prolongs survival in patients with prostate cancer, but resistance rapidly develops. Understanding this resistance is confounded by a lack of noninvasive means to assess AR activity in vivo. We report intracellular accumulation of a secreted antigen-targeted antibody (SATA) that can be used to characterize disease, guide therapy, and monitor response. A
Background: Previous studies have suggested that targeting the site of latest mechanical activation of the left ventricle (LV) results in improved cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes. It is not known whether these benefits are sustained over medium-term follow-up. Objective: To assess the clinical outcome of imaging-guided LV lead position. Methods: We sought to assess the medium-term
Background: For patients investigated with radiopharmaceuticals, it is important to be able to perform valid calculations of the absorbed dose in organs and tissues. An internal dosimetry computer program, IDAC-Dose2.1, has been updated to be based on the ICRP specific absorbed fractions and computational framework of internal dose assessment for 12 adult and paediatric reference individuals given
