Purpose: To analyse and discuss screening for the detection of congenital cataract in two Nordic countries, Denmark and Sweden. Methods: Until 2011, in Denmark, no guideline concerning screening for congenital cataract existed. Since 2011, Danish guidelines regarding eye examination include examination with a pencil light at age 5 weeks, whereas newborn red reflex examination using a handheld opht

A bacterium that could completely metabolize phenol in batch culture supplied with up to 1200mg phenoll(-1) at room temperature (25 degrees C) was isolated from the activated sludge of the industrial wastewater treatment plant of a Coke company (Cairo, Egypt). Morphological and physiological characterization showed strain TW1 was a motile, strictly aerobic, gram negative and short-rod occurring si

We calculated a simple indicator of food availability using data from 93 sites in 17 countries across contrasted agroecologies in sub-Saharan Africa (>13,000 farm households) and analyzed the drivers of variations in food availability. Crop production was the major source of energy, contributing 60% of food availability. The off-farm income contribution to food availability ranged from 12% for hou

Women constitute a minority among patients in forensic psychiatric care, which aims to improve the patients’ health while ensuring safety for patients, caregivers, and society. Participation in forensic psychiatric care can be complex; its definition depends on the context and perspective and is influenced by several factors. This study examined the perceptions of female patients and caregivers re

We employ small-angle x-ray and dynamic light scattering to investigate the microscopic structure and dynamics of dense suspensions of ultra-low crosslinked (ULC) poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels. By probing the supercooled and glassy regimes, we characterize the relationship between the structure and dynamics as a function of effective volume fraction φ and probed length scale. We demonstrat

Most forensic psychiatric patients are diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Psychotherapy is recognized as an important part of treatment for this patient population, yet no clinical guidelines exist. This mixed-method systematic review aimed to evaluate the scope, quality, and findings of psychotherapy research involving this population. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute

A lot of previous research has studied the effect that social capital has on trust in the police and describe a person's social network as an important part in deciding the level of social capital, but none have analyzed social relationships and interactions by itself. This study examines the association between social relationships and interactions, generalized trust and trust in the police i

In ultra high-energy collisions, nuclei with very low binding energies are not expected to survive the dense and hot final state environment. The traditional view has therefore been that nuclei form via coalescence after the hot environment has dissipated. However, statistical thermal models, where hadrons are produced from a fireball at thermal equilibrium, can describe the relative abundances of

With climate change and urbanisation increasing wildfire risk in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), enhancing community evacuation preparedness is crucial. This study evaluates different data collection methods for measuring traffic flows during a community wildfire evacuation drill in Roxborough Park, Colorado, in June 2024. A multi-method strategy was applied, including drone footage, human obs

We have used local vibrational mode (LVM) spectroscopy to monitor the formation of oxygen-related thermal double donors (TDDs) at 45 0 degrees C and their annihilation at 650 degrees C in carbon-lean Czochralski-grown (Cz-) Si crystals. A few samples were treated at 650 degrees C under high hydrostatic pressure. It is found that the annihilation of TDDs at 650 degrees C results not only in a parti

A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and severe storms can devastate coastal communities and habitat, but in many areas these processes are essential for maintaining the integrity of barrier islands while creating new habitat. This review covers general studies of

Treatment of type 3 von Willebrand disease (vWD) relies on infusion with plasma-derived factor concentrates containing von Willebrand factor (vWF). Patients with types 1 and 2 vWD who do not respond satisfactorily after receiving desmopressin need treatment with concentrates. The rationale for long-term prophylaxis in vWD is obvious: prophylaxis has been successfully used in hemophilia, and joint
