Violent women, blame attribution, crime, and personality.

BACKGROUND: The attribution of blame for criminal act has an impact, both on the way the offender must come to terms with the offence and on the risk of recidivism. Blame attribution has been found to be related to the type of crime and personality. AIMS: This study examined the relationship of blame attribution and feelings of guilt in violent female offenders, according to factors related to crime, background and personality. METHODS: The Gudjonsson Blame Attribution Inventory (BAI) and the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ) were administered to 58 violent female offenders. The Hare Psychop

[Distribution of viruses from the Californian encephalitis serogroup (Bunyaviridae, Bunyavirus) in the northern expanses of Russia].

The study was carried out in 1983-1991 and covered a territory of about 10 x 10(6) km2 in various physico-geographic areas (East Fennoscandia, Northern Russian Plain, West Siberia, Central Siberia, North-Eastern Siberia, and Northern Pacific Region) in the Arctic, Subarctic, Northern-Central-Southern taiga, forest-steppe, and steppe in Northern Russia. A total of 251 strains were isolated from 1391,900 mosquitoes, identified as the California group snowshoe hare (83), Inkoo (44), and Tahyna (2) viruses; 122 strains were not completely identified. Some of the strains with uncommon antigenic com

Ex vivo infection model for Francisella using human lung tissue.

INTRODUCTION: Tularemia is mainly caused by Francisella tularensis (Ft) subsp. tularensis (Ftt) and Ft subsp. holarctica (Ftt) in humans and in more than 200 animal species including rabbits and hares. Human clinical manifestations depend on the route of infection and range from flu-like symptoms to severe pneumonia with a mortality rate up to 60% without treatment. So far, only 2D cell culture and animal models are used to study Francisella virulence, but the gained results are transferable to human infections only to a certain extent. METHOD: In this study, we firstly established an ex vivo…

Моделирование среды обитания, пригодной для случаев энцефалита, переносимого человеком в тикали (ТБЭ), в Финляндии.

В последние десятилетия в ряде эндемических регионов (включая Финляндию) возросло число зарегистрированных случаев заболевания энцефалитом, передаваемым через человека, что свидетельствует о растущей угрозе для здоровья населения. В этой связи важно определить регионы, подверженные риску, и наиболее влиятельные факторы, связанные с распределением ТБЭ, особенно в недостаточно изученных регионах. Цель этого исследования состояла в том, чтобы выявить области риска передачи ТБЭ в двух различных наборах данных, основанных на заболеваниях ТБЭ человека в период 2007−2011 годов (n = 86) и 2012−2017 го

First report of Leishmania infantum infection in the endangered orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) in Madrid, Spain.

BACKGROUND: Some wild animals have been recognized as potential reservoirs of Leishmania infantum infection (e.g. carnivores, lagomorphs, rodents, etc.). Leishmania infantum was also identified infecting humans and lagomorphs (i.e. hares and rabbits) over the period of 2009-2016, with the latter acting as the main reservoirs involved in the human leishmaniosis outbreak in Madrid. RESULTS: Two cases of clinical leishmaniosis are reported in orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) housed at two different centres in Madrid. The first is the case of a 36-year-old male orangutan with severe weight lo…

A meta-ethnographic systematic review of women's experiences of homelessness in high income environments.

BACKGROUND: Homelessness is a significant public policy and health service challenge globally. Often identified as a 'wicked problem' homelessness is hard to define with limited data confirming the exact numbers of people who are homeless due to varying metrics employed many of which likely exclude women by design. Research and policy have primarily focused on the experiences of single men, and the impact of homelessness on women and their experiences of it are not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To synthesise evidence from qualitative studies of homelessness to identify key dimensions of women i

Imaging-identified round window niche veil and intratympanic therapy efficacy in sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

BACKGROUND: Intratympanic (IT) therapy is a common procedure to deliver drugs into the cochlear for the treatment of inner ear diseases. Round window niche veil (RWNV) is an extra anatomical barrier potentially impending drug delivery. However, RWNV's identification is neglected, and its effect on IT efficacy awaits investigation. METHODS: Patients with unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), undergoing temporal bone HRCT examination and initiating IT therapy were enrolled and followed up for 30 days. Participants were independently assessed and identified into RWNV+ and RWNV- b

Physical Activity Enforces Well-being or Shame in Children and Adolescents With Asthma: A Meta-ethnography.

Asthma symptoms and experiences of dyspnea challenge participation in physical activity (PA). Therefore, in-depth understanding of experiences with PA is essential. In this meta-ethnography, we synthesized published qualitative studies of experiences of children and adolescents with asthma that influenced, or limited, participation in PA. We followed Noblit and Hare's 7 phases of meta-ethnography. We searched relevant databases by December 18, 2023 for published peer-reviewed studies (Medline (OVID), Embase (OVID), PsycINFO (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCHOhost), SPORTDiscus (EBSCHOhost), SocINDEX (EBSCH

PURPOSE: The purpose of this in vitro study was to digitally evaluate the machining accuracy and margin quality of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated using gel deposition and conventional soft milling processes by comparing 2 different margin types. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 40 monolithic zirconia crowns were produced usin

Leptospira borgptersenii and Leptospira interrogans identified in wild mammals in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Leptospira spp. are bacteria responsible for leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease with considerable impacts on the economy, animal health, and public health. This disease has a global distribution and is particularly prevalent in Brazil. Both rural and urban environments are habitats for Leptospira spp., which are primarily transmitted through contact with the urine of infected animals. Consequently, domestic and wild species can harbor these prokaryotes and serve as infection sources for other hosts. In the context of wild animals, there is a dearth of molecular studies elucidating the roles of

Family life and autistic children with sensory processing differences: A qualitative evidence synthesis of occupational participation.

UNLABELLED: Autistic children with sensory processing differences successfully navigate and engage in meaningful family daily occupations within home and community environments through the support of their family. To date however, much of the research on autistic children with sensory processing differences, has primarily been deficit focused, while much of the caregiver research has focused on issues of distress, burden, effort, and emotional trauma in coping with their child's diagnosis. This study aimed to conduct a qualitative evidence synthesis, using a meta-ethnographic approach to explo

Exposure of Free-Ranging Wild Animals to Zoonotic Leptospira interrogans Sensu Stricto in Slovenia.

A total of 249 serum samples from 13 wild animal species namely fallow deer (Dama dama, n = 1), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus, n = 80), red deer (Cervus elaphus, n = 22), chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra, n = 21), mouflon (Ovis musimon, n = 4), brown hare (Lepus europaeus, n = 2), nutria (Myocastor coypus, n = 1), red fox (Vulpes vulpes, n = 97), stone marten (Martes foina, n = 12), European badger (Meles meles, n = 2), golden jackal (Canis aureus, n = 2) Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx, n = 2) and grey wolf (Canis lupus, n = 3) were analysed for the presence of antibodies against Leptospira interrogans

Seroprevalence of Jamestown Canyon virus in the Japanese general population.

BACKGROUND: Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) is a mosquito-borne orthobunyavirus that causes acute febrile illness, meningitis, and meningoencephalitis, mainly among adults. JCV is widely distributed in North America and the number of JCV cases in the U.S. has increased in recent years. Therefore, the central nervous system disease caused by JCV can be considered a potentially re-emerging viral disease. However, the seroprevalence of JCV is unknown in Japan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of JCV in the Japanese population. METHODS: We used an IgG enzyme-linked immunos

Sedative and cardiovascular effects of intranasal or intramuscular dexmedetomidine in healthy dogs.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects and sedation scores following either intranasal (IN) or intramuscular (IM) administration of dexmedetomidine in dogs. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, blinded, randomized, clinical study. ANIMALS: A total of 20 client-owned dogs scheduled for noninvasive diagnostic procedures. METHODS: Dogs were allocated to be administered dexmedetomidine 0.02 mg kg-1 IN (IN group) or IM (IM group). Sedation was scored before and at 5 minute intervals (for 45 minutes) after drug administration using a composite simple descriptive sedation scale giving a score of 0 (not

The violent female perpetrator and her victim.

The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between violent female offenders and their victims as well as the putative differences in the motives and specific psychological factors among three groups of female offenders: women who have victimised someone closely related to them, those who have victimised an acquaintance and lastly women who have victimised a stranger. More than half (N=61) of all violent female offenders hospitalised or incarcerated in Finland during the year of study were interviewed and assessed by Structured Clinical Interview II for DSM-IV (SCID-II) and Ha

Serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) does not correlate positively with isometric strength, fatigue, and quality of life in post-polio syndrome.

OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND: To determine if serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels are associated with strength, body mass index (BMI), fatigue, or quality of life in post-poliomyelitis syndrome (PPS). PPS is likely due to a distal disintegration of enlarged post-polio motor units as a result of terminal axonal sprouting. Age-related decline in growth hormone and IGF-I (which support terminal axonal sprouts) is proposed as a contributing factor. METHODS: As part of the North American Post-Poliomyelitis Pyridostigmine Study (NAPPS), baseline data on maximum voluntary isometric contra

Experiencing Sepsis: A Meta-Ethnography.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and synthesize the adverse and transformative experiences of sepsis survivors and their caregivers, to generate novel, experience-based insights that inform recovery support and future care strategies. DATA SOURCES: Five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science) were searched from 2000 to 2025. STUDY SELECTION: Eligible studies included qualitative or mixed-methods research reporting experiences of adult sepsis survivors and/or caregivers. Studies focusing solely on healthcare providers or published in languages other than English were excluded. Nine

Changing distribution, diversity, and health impact of Echinococcus multilocularis in Europe and North America: Comparison, connections, and opportunities.

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis is a rare but serious animal and human disease in the northern hemisphere. We review published data and reports of E. multilocularis in animals and humans in Europe and North America since 2015. New findings in Europe include the first detection of AE in a wild canid (golden jackal, Canis aureus) and brown hare (Lepus europaeus); evidence for and against the role of domestic and wild felids as definitive hosts of E. multilocularis; new reports in wildlife in 2 countries and human AE in 8 countries; slow range expansion in Franc

Accounts of women identified as drinking at 'high risk' during pregnancy: A meta-ethnography of missing voices.

BACKGROUND: Drinking alcohol during pregnancy is associated with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), and women who drink at higher levels are more likely to have a baby with FASD. Public health responses focus on population-level approaches to FASD prevention such as promoting abstinence and alcohol brief interventions. Efforts to better understand and respond to 'high risk' drinking during pregnancy have been largely ignored. This meta-ethnography of qualitative research aims to inform this policy and practice agenda. METHODS: Ten health, social care, and social sciences databases were
