Evaluating the usefulness of a wordless picture book for adults with intellectual disabilities about the COVID-19 vaccination programme using co-production: The CAREVIS study.

Aim: To explore the usefulness of a co-designed wordless book showing processes of receiving COVID-19 vaccines designed by, and for, adults with intellectual disabilities.

Methods: A qualitative evaluation of the resource using mixed methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people with intellectual disabilities, carers and health professionals about resource content, and use.

Subcutaneous Alfaxalone-XylazineBuprenorphine for Surgical Anesthesia and Echocardiographic Evaluation of Mice ().

Alfaxalone is a commonly used injectable anesthetic in dogs and cats due to its minimal cardiovascular side effects. Data for its use in mice are limited and demonstrate strain- and sex-associated differences in dose-response relationships. We performed a dose-comparison study of alfaxalone-xylazine-buprenorphine (AXB) in Crl: (SW) mice.

Body mass index and blood glucose in psychiatric and general practice populations.

Aims and method Using a retrospective observational approach, we aimed to discern whether there was a difference in metabolic parameters between psychiatric and general practice populations in the same locality. Second, we aimed to establish differences in metabolic parameters of patients taking olanzapine, clozapine or aripiprazole. Results Patients with psychiatric illness had a body mass index (BMI) comparable to that of the general practice population (28.

Loss of Kv and MaxiK currents associated with increased MRP1 expression in small cell lung carcinoma.

Regulatory volume decrease and exocrine secretion studies suggest a functional relationship between K+ and organic anion efflux. To test the hypothesis that the expression of K+ channels and MRP1 is reciprocally related, we employed the patch clamp and RT-PCR techniques on weakly (H69) and strongly MRP1-expressing (H69AR) small cell lung cancer cells. H69AR cells do not express the time- and voltage-dependent delayed rectifying K+ current (Kv) reported earlier in H69 cells and confirmed here.
