Turning 18 in mental health services: a multicountry qualitative study of service user experiences and views.

Background: Worldwide, the division between Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) has frequently resulted in fragmented care with an unprepared, non-gradual transition. To improve continuity of care and other service transition experiences, service user input is essential. However, such previous qualitative studies are from a decade ago or focused on one mental disorder or country.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutation of Eil1 transcription factor genes affects exogenous ethylene tolerance and early flower senescence in Campanula portenschlagiana.

Improving tolerance to ethylene-induced early senescence of flowers and fruits is of major economic importance for the ornamental and food industry. Genetic modifications of genes in the ethylene-signalling pathway have frequently resulted in increased tolerance but often with unwanted side effects. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to knockout the function of two CpEil1 genes expressed in flowers of the diploid ornamental plant Campanula portenschlagiana.

Sexual Problems as Late Effects: Awareness and Information Needs Among 1870 Long-term Norwegian Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors (The NOR-CAYACS Study).

Treatment-related sexual problems are common, but understudied, among survivors of Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors (CAYACS). We investigated awareness of, and information needs regarding, sexual problems as late effects in a nation-wide sample of long-term CAYACS. Five-year survivors were identified by the Cancer Registry of Norway, diagnosed between 1985 and 2009 with any childhood cancer (0-18 years of age, excluding central nervous system tumors), leukemia, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or malignant melanoma (19-39 years of age).

"Data is the new oil": citizen science and informed consent in an era of researchers handling of an economically valuable resource.

As with other areas of the social world, academic research in the contemporary healthcare setting has undergone adaptation and change. For example, research methods are increasingly incorporating citizen participation in the research process, and there has been an increase in collaborative research that brings academic and industry partners together. There have been numerous positive outcomes associated with both of these growing methodological and collaborative processes; nonetheless, both bring with them ethical considerations that require careful thought and attention.

CRISPR/Cas9 and Transgene Verification of Gene Involvement in Unfolded Protein Response and Recombinant Protein Production in Barley Grain.

The use of plants as heterologous hosts to produce recombinant proteins has some intriguing advantages. There is, however, the potential of overloading the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) capacity when producing recombinant proteins in the seeds. This leads to an ER-stress condition and accumulating of unfolded proteins.
