Patient-led use of patient-reported outcome measure in self-Management of a Rotator Cuff Injury.

Introduction: The patient is the person who experiences both the processes and the outcomes of care. Information held by the patient is vital for clinical and self-management, improving health outcomes, delivery of care, organization of health systems, and formulation of health policies. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) play an important role in supporting patient's self-management.

A palindrome-mediated recurrent translocation with 3:1 meiotic nondisjunction: the t(8;22)(q24.13;q11.21).

Palindrome-mediated genomic instability has been associated with chromosomal translocations, including the recurrent t(11;22)(q23;q11). We report a syndrome characterized by extremity anomalies, mild dysmorphia, and intellectual impairment caused by 3:1 meiotic segregation of a previously unrecognized recurrent palindrome-mediated rearrangement, the t(8;22)(q24.13;q11.

An updated liquid chromatographic assay for the determination of glyphosate in technical material and formulations.

An updated liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of glyphosate in technical material and formulations was tested by 7 laboratories. Samples were dissolved in water and injected into an LC system with a C18 guard column, an anion exchange analytical column, and a phosphate buffer mobile phase with 12 to 15% methanol. Detection was by UV absorption at 195 nm or refractive index.

Brief hypnosis for severe needle phobia using switch-wire imagery in a 5-year old.

We present a case of severe needle phobia in a 5-year-old boy who learned to utilize a self-hypnosis technique to facilitate intravenous (i.v.) cannula placement.
