Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of Anion Exchange Resin (AER) in reducing serum levels of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in adults exposed to high levels of PFAS.
- It was a controlled crossover trial with 45 participants, where one group received AER and the other was observed for 12 weeks.
- Results showed that treatment significantly decreased PFOS levels by a mean of 115 ng/mL (60%), with no serious side effects, indicating AER could be a viable treatment option for PFOS elimination.
The Mental Vulnerability Questionnaire was originally a 22 item scale, later reduced to a 12 item scale. In population studies the 12 item scale has been a significant predictor of health and illness. The scale has not been psychometrically evaluated for more than 30 years, and the aim of the present study was both to evaluate the psychometric properties of the 22 and 12 item scales and of three new scales.

Methods: Of 740 persons (aged 25 to 64 years) examined in a 1989 Danish cross-sectional headache study, 673 were eligible for follow-up in 2001. All interviews at baseline and at follow-up were conducted by medical doctors and based on the 1988 IHS-criteria.
Objective: The present study aims to compare the prevalence of primary headaches in Denmark in two periods as only few replicate studies have re-evaluated the prevalence of primary headaches.
Study Design And Setting: The 2001 study is a replicate of a cross-sectional survey of primary headaches in 1989, and compares 297 subjects aged 25-36 years from the general population, with the 294 comparable subjects invited in 1989. Medical doctors diagnosed all headaches using IHS-classification.
