Guidelines for Preventing Child Sexual Abuse and Wrongful Allegations against Staff at Danish Childcare Facilities

open access: yesSocieties, 2019
Since the 1980s, the fear of child sexual abuse (CSA) has become a major cultural feature of a large part of the Western world. Internationally, the unintended consequences of the fear surrounding CSA are rarely investigated and doing so is often ...

Statistical discrimination [PDF]

open access: yesThe Philosophers' Magazine, 2016
Racial discrimination uses race as grounds to discriminate in the treatment owed to others; sexual discrimination uses people's sexual features as grounds for determining how they should be treated compared to others. Analogously, statistical discrimination treats statistical inferences about the groups to which individuals belong as grounds for ...

Characterization of WAC interactions with R2TP and TTT chaperone complexes linking glucose and glutamine availability to mTORC1 activity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TTT and R2TP chaperone complexes are required for the assembly and activation of mTORC1. WAC directly interacts with components of TTT, R2TP, and mTORC1, and these interactions are affected by the availability of glucose and glutamine, correlating with changes in mTORC1 activity.

Discrimination of Stereoisomers by Their Enantioselective Interactions with Chiral Cholesterol-Containing Membranes

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
Discrimination between enantiomers is an important subject in medicinal and biological chemistry because they exhibit markedly different bioactivity and toxicity.

Discriminating among the discriminator bases of tRNAs

open access: yesChemistry & Biology, 1997
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases must select their specific tRNAs from the 20 structurally similar tRNAs present in a cell. The discriminator base, at position 73 of the tRNA, is important for this selection but its effects on aminoacylation are variable depending on context. Recent structural studies provide insight into this variability.

Blocking the voltage‐gated sodium channel hNav1.5 as a novel pH‐dependent mechanism of action for tamoxifen

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Patch‐clamp recordings revealed that tamoxifen inhibits voltage‐gated sodium channels, especially under acidic conditions, both common in metastatic cancer cells. These effects may explain certain antitumor properties of tamoxifen, highlighting a novel mechanism of action beyond its known endocrine effects.

French Translation and Validation of Three Scales Evaluating Stigma in Mental Health

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2017
ObjectiveThe concept of stigma refers to problems of knowledge (ignorance), attitudes (prejudice), and behavior (discrimination). Stigma may hinder access to care, housing, and work. In the context of implementation of programs such as “housing first” or

High LRIG1 expression predicts lymph node metastasis in patients with uterine cervical cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Lymph node status is crucial in determining treatment for women with early‐stage cervical cancer. We demonstrate that high LRIG1 protein expression in primary tumors can predict lymph node metastases. Our findings support further investigation of LRIG1 as a biomarker to improve staging accuracy and guide treatment decisions in cervical cancer patients.

Detecting rs‐fMRI Networks in Disorders of Consciousness: Improving Clinical Interpretability

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Preserved resting‐state functional MRI (rs‐fMRI) networks are typically observed in Disorders of Consciousness (DOC). Despite the widespread use of rs‐fMRI in DOC, a systematic assessment of networks is needed to improve the interpretability of data in clinical practice.
