Persons with disabilities face substantial barriers that impede their integration and participation in social and economic activities. Households with disabled members may be vulnerable to poverty due to the extra cost of living with a disability. However, there exists a knowledge gap in the magnitude of the extra cost of disabilities in sub Saharan Africa. Using data from a nationally representat

This Letter presents a search for the production of new heavy resonances decaying into a Higgs boson and a photon using proton-proton collision data at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. The analysis is performed by reconstructing hadronically decaying Higgs boson (H→bb¯) candidates as single large-radius jets. A novel

A search for Higgs boson decays into a Z boson and a light resonance in two-lepton plus jet events is performed, using a pp collision dataset with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1 collected at s=13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN LHC. The resonance considered is a light boson with a mass below 4 GeV from a possible extended scalar sector or a charmonium state. Multivariate discriminant

Background: This study determined the pharmacokinetics of the contrast agent gadobutrol in marmosets by quantitative MRI to derive guidelines for neuroimaging protocols. Methods: Local concentrations of gadobutrol were determined from consecutive gradient echo-based mapping of the relaxation rate R1 on a clinical 3T MRI scanner. Half-time of renal elimination was measured after injection of a trip

Cytochrome c oxidase encoded by multiple mitochondrial genes (COXI, COXII, and COXIII) and nuclear genes is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that catalyzes the reduction of molecular oxygen by reduced cytochrome c. Subunits COXI and COXII of cytochrome c oxidase are known to play the most essential role in proton pumping and electron transfer. In this study we screened

Objective: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases that have similar clinical and immunologic characteristics. To date, several shared SSc–RA genetic loci have been identified independently. The aim of the current study was to systematically search for new common SSc–RA loci through an interdisease meta–genome-wide association (meta-GWAS) strategy. Methods: T

Carrier and prenatal diagnosis based on the identification of the gene defect (direct diagnosis) increases the proportion of haemophilia B families that can be offered precise genetic counselling from the 50-60% attainable by DNA markers, to 100%, and they also provide information on the molecular biology of the disease. We propose that in order to maximize the practical and scientific benefits of

Intensive surveys of staging and wintering diving ducks in the Öresund area,southern Sweden, were undertaken during the winters 1995/96, 1996/97 and1997/98 as a part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) related to theestablishment of a Fixed Link (bridge–tunnel–artificial island) between Swedenand Denmark. Monitoring of the benthic fauna made it possible to compare thecalculated food requi

Cytogenetic studies over the past few decades have revealed clonal chromosomal aberrations in almost 27,000 human neoplasms. Many of these neoplasia-associated chromosomal abnormalities have been characterised at the molecular level, revealing previously unknown genes that are closely associated with the tumorigenic process. Information on chromosome changes in neoplasia is growing rapidly, making

A total of six high-resolution FT-IR spectra for trans-glyoxal-d(2), trans-glyoxal-d(1) and trans-glyoxal-C-13(2) were recorded with a resolution ranging from 0.003 to 0.004 cm(-1). By means of a simultaneous ground state combination difference analysis for each of these isotopologues using the Watson Hamiltonian in A-reduction and I-r-representation the ground state rotational constants are obtai

The Na-33 beta decay was studied online using mass separation techniques and a first description of the level structure of the neutron-rich isotope Mg-33, with N=21, has been obtained. The experiment involved the measurement of beta-gamma, beta-gamma-gamma, and beta -n-gamma coincidences as well as neutron spectra by time-of-flight technique. The first low energy level scheme for the daughter nucl

The aim of this study was to determine the risk and burden of vertebral fractures judged as those coming to clinical attention and as morphometric fractures. Incidence and utility loss were computed from data from Malmo, Sweden. Clinical fractures accounted for 23% of all vertebral deformities in women and for 42% in men. The average 10-year fracture probability for morphometric fractures increase
