Social Maltreatment and Symptomatology: Validating the Social Discrimination and Maltreatment Scale-Short Form in a Diverse Online Sample.

There are few psychometrically valid measures of exposure to social maltreatment that simultaneously assess sexism, racism, and anti-LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other nonheteronormative) behavior, despite the commonness of these phenomena. The (SDMS) meets this requirement but is, as a result, somewhat lengthy (36 items). This article introduces a short form of the SDMS containing only half the number of items but generally retaining the psychometric qualities of the original measure.

Untargeted metabolomics screening reveals unique secondary metabolite production from section .

section is comprised of many species that infect a broad diversity of important crop plants and cause post-harvest spoilage. section species, such as and , are prolific producers of secondary metabolites that act as virulence factors of disease and are mycotoxins that accumulate in infected tissues-metabolites that can vary in their spectrum of production between individuals from the same fungal species. Untargeted metabolomics profiling of secondary metabolite production using mass spectrometry is an effective means to detect phenotypic anomalies in secondary metabolism within a species.

Extreme precipitation appears a key driver of mercury transport from the watershed to Cottage Grove Reservoir, Oregon.

An abandoned cinnabar mining and roasting site is in the major sub-basin of the watershed for Cottage Grove Reservoir, Oregon. Average surface sediment total mercury concentration in the river draining this sub-basin (0.61 ± 0.

Interprofessional group intervention for parents of children age 3 and younger with feeding difficulties: pilot program evaluation.

Background: Feeding difficulties are common with an estimated prevalence of 25%-45% in normally developing children. Clinicians and researchers emphasize the need for timely and effective treatment because a proportion of children develop failure to thrive with possible long-term impairments. Interprofessional assessment and treatment has emerged as an optimal approach to reduce parental anxiety and increase children's acceptance of a wider variety of foods.

Effect on tissue vitamin A levels in the rat following subchronic exposure to four individual PCB congeners (IUPAC 77, 118, 126, and 153).

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect on tissue vitamin A levels in rats exposed to 3,3',4,4'-tetraCB (CB-77), 2,3',4,4',5-pentaCB (CB-118), 3,3',4,4',5-pentaCB (CB-126), and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexaCB (CB-153). The obtained results show that hepatic vitamin A levels are reduced both in male and female rats following dietary exposure to individual PCB congeners for 13 weeks. However, there are pronounced potency differences between congeners.

Spinal cord testing: development of a screening tool.

The Acute Spinal Cord Injury Program at Sunnybrook Medical Centre has treated more than 950 patients in the 13 years since development of the program. Ongoing assessment is essential in the care and rehabilitation of these patients. Nurses at Sunnybrook developed a screening tool which specifies muscle groups and dermatomes to be tested, and a means to quantify muscle power.

Epidemiology of tardive dyskinesia Part I.

We have performed an epidemiological study concerning tardive dyskinesia on a sample of 332 chronic schizophrenic patients (142 males and 190 females, mean age 48.6 years, mean duration of neuroleptic treatment 14.5 years).
