Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Capturing Recent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection by Tuberculin Skin Test vs. Interferon-Gamma Release Assay

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Reductions in tuberculosis (TB) incidence require identification of individuals at high risk of developing active disease, such as those with recent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. Using a prospective household contact (HHC) study in Kampala,

Transition state theory for wave packet dynamics. II. Thermal decay of Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range interaction

, 2012
We apply transition state theory to coupled Gaussian wave packets and calculate thermal decay rates of Bose-Einstein condensates with additional long-range interaction.

Effect of Metal–Metal Distance on the Performance of Dual‐Atom Catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: A Density Functional Theory and Micro‐kinetics Study

Small, EarlyView.
Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic modeling were carried out on 108 dual‐atom catalysts with varied metalmetal distances ranging from 2.2 to 3.5 Å. The results reveal that moderate spacing of around 3.0 Å promotes bridging oxygen adsorption and dissociative reduction pathways, weakens the hydroxylhydroperoxyl scaling relationship ...

Early Prediction of Outcome Using Lactate Dehydrogenase and Amplitude‐Integrated EEG in Transported Newborn Infants with Hypoxic–Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate whether early lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and amplitude‐integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) improve the prediction of outcome in outborn infants transported for therapeutic hypothermia. Method Secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial (2016–2019) including 113 asphyxiated newborn infants randomised to ...

Improving access to help with poor sleep across youth mental health services: Interim implementation and clinical outcomes

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives There is a high, unmet sleep need in young people with mental health difficulties. We took a whole‐system approach to improving access to sleep support across a youth mental health system (14–25 years). Methods We used the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment (EPIS) framework to develop an implementation ...

Broad adaptive immune responses to M. tuberculosis antigens precede TST conversion in tuberculosis exposed household contacts in a TB-endemic setting.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe identification of Mycobacterium-tuberculosis (Mtb) infected individuals remains a challenge due to an insufficient understanding of immune responses detected with the current diagnostic tests for latent tuberculosis i.e. the tuberculin skin

Using sleep to enhance exposure treatment for anxious children: A pilot study

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives: Exposure therapy is a well‐established treatment for anxiety disorders in children; however, many young people do not fully respond to treatment. Advances in strategies to enhance extinction learning from exposure therapy are urgently needed.

Comparison of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay and Tuberculin Skin Test in Screening for Latent Tuberculous Infection Among Students from High-Burden Areas: A Prospective Head-to-Head Study in Qingdao, China

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Background: Identifying latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is critical for pediatric TB control in China, especially among students from high-burden areas.

Tuberculosis screening by tuberculosis skin test or QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Assay among an immigrant population with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and BCG vaccination.

PLoS ONE, 2013
RationaleEach year 1 million persons acquire permanent U.S. residency visas after tuberculosis (TB) screening. Most applicants undergo a 2-stage screening with tuberculin skin test (TST) followed by CXR only if TST-positive at > 5 mm.
