High-Resolution Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Stannane: Deconvolution of Superimposed Fragmentation Patterns.

In a pulsed laser plasma driven extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light, tin droplets undergo evaporation, eventually depositing on different surfaces. The removal of surface bound tin is commonly achieved with a hydrogen plasma, resulting in the formation of stannane (SnH). The mechanisms leading to the formation and decomposition of stannane remain incompletely understood.

Clinical characteristics and factors affecting disease severity in hospitalized tick-borne encephalitis patients in Norway from 2018 to 2022.

Purpose: To describe the clinical characteristics and factors associated with disease severity in a Norwegian cohort of hospitalized patients with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE).

Methods: This observational multicenter study included hospitalized patients with TBE in the endemic area in the southeastern region of Norway from 2018 to 2022. Clinical signs and findings from laboratory tests, EEG, CT and MRI scans were recorded.

The association between pre-diagnostic levels of psychological distress and adverse effects after radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: To prospectively analyse the associations between pre-diagnostic levels of anxiety and depression and patient-reported urinary and sexual adverse effects after radical prostatectomy in a population-based setting.

Patients And Methods: In three Norwegian county hospitals, men referred with a suspicion of prostate cancer were asked to fill out a patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) questionnaire prior to prostate biopsy. Those who later underwent radical prostatectomy were stratified into three distress groups according to their Hopkins Symptom Checklist 5-score.

Observation of Large, Charged Droplet Signatures within the High-Vacuum Region of a Commercial Electrospray TOF-MS.

Electrospray ionization (ESI) is one of the most prominent atmospheric pressure ionization techniques in modern mass spectrometry. It generates charged droplets from an analyte-containing solution as an initial step in the ionization process. Textbooks and the majority of the articles assume the entire droplet evaporation and release of bare analyte ions within the ionization chamber.

Risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection: a test-negative case-control study with additional population controls in Norway.

Objectives: This study aims to assess risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection by combined design; first comparing positive cases to negative controls as determined by PCR testing and then comparing these two groups to an additional prepandemic population control group.

Design And Setting: Test-negative design (TND), multicentre case-control study with additional population controls in South-Eastern Norway.

Participants: Adults who underwent SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing between February and December 2020.
