Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the primary method that can measure the levels of metabolites in the brain in vivo. To achieve its potential in clinical usage, the reliability of the measurement requires further articulation. Although there are many studies that investigate the reliability of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), comparatively few studies have investigated the reliability of ...

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection is common in aquaculture of salmonids. The three known PRV genotypes (PRV-1-3) have host species specificity and cause different diseases, but all infect and replicate in red blood cells (RBCs) in early infection phase. PRV-1 is the causative agent of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), PRV-2 causes erythrocytic ...

Background - International guidelines are increasingly recommending direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as the first-line treatment for cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). However, data regarding treatment patterns and adherence to guidelines in patients with CAT are scarce.<p> <p>Objectives - This study aimed to explore anticoagulant treatment patterns in patients with CAT and to calculate the ...

Background: Dachaihu decoction (Dachaihu tang) plays a crucial role in treating acute illnesses. Recently, a significant number of clinical studies on Dachaihu decoction for acute cholecystitis (AC) have been published. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Dachaihu decoction in patients with this condition.<p> <p>Methods: To identify relevant randomized controlled trials ...

Background: In recent years, text-based e-consultations have been widely implemented in general practice and are appreciated by patients for their convenience and efficiency. Policymakers aim to enhance patient access to clinical services with the general practitioner (GP) through text-based e-consultations. However, concerns are raised about their efficiency and security. We aimed to investigate ...

The recent reforms in the Norwegian early childhood/primary/secondary education curriculum explicitly highlight the inclusion of Sámi perspectives across various subjects. In this context, one of several suggested educational practices is to include Sámi traditional practitioners in teaching activities. Against this backdrop, this paper explores the perspectives of five Sámi practitioners, concentrating ...

Facing the increasing quantity and richness of data related to modeling and simulations of maritime systems, advanced solutions that can maintain data coherence and traceability are becoming increasingly beneficial. In the context of modeling complex systems, such as ship design, retaining connections of systems data, whether quantitative or qualitative, helps to provide a traceable and comprehensive ...

The A-type granites are an important component of the Earth's continental crust and play a significant role in understanding crustal evolution and tectonic processes. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of A-type granites from Ataitir El Dehami granites (ADG), which are located in the northwestern part of the Wadi Seih area in South Sinai, using geochemistry, zircon geochemistry and ...

Vertebrate carrion is an integral part of foodwebs in ecosystems and can impact biodiversity at the local as well as the landscape scale. However, very little knowledge currently exists about the ecological role of carrion in the Arctic ecosystems. We conducted a ground survey on the cover of five plant functional groups at paired reindeer carcass and control sites and analysed the relationship ...

«Jeg har verdens beste jobb». Dette utsagnet har jeg hørt mange ganger, fra sykepleiere i norske nyfødtintensiv-poster. Selv hvor belastende det er, å erfare hvor mye strev mange prematurt fødte barn må utholde, så gir det «superkrefter» å erfare at man kan hjelpe dem over opprørt hav. Hjelpe barn og familien å komme til et bedre sted. Jeg tenker ofte på sangen «Bridge over troubled water» når jeg ...
