Patterns of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) validity scale elevation across veterans seen in a Veterans Affairs (VA) assessment clinic: The impact of compensation status.

The purpose of this investigation is to provide descriptive information on veteran response styles for compensation and pension (C&P) evaluations Veterans Affairs (VA) referral types using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), which has well-supported embedded validity scales capturing invalid response styles. The total sample included 356 veterans from a single VA psychological testing clinic who were administered the MMPI-2-RF during a broader psychological evaluation, with 201 veterans undergoing C&P evaluations. This study examines frequencies of protocol invalidity based on the MMPI-2-RF's validity scales and provides comprehensive descriptive findings on validity scale scores across appointment types (i.

Hyperkalemia secondary to iatrogenic overdose of intravenous dextrose supplementation in a diabetic dog undergoing anesthesia for phacoemulsification.

A 13-year-old, male castrated, Jack Russell Terrier dog was presented for bilateral phacoemulsification for treatment of diabetic cataracts. While the dog was under general anesthesia, a blood glucose concentration of 3.8 mmol L (70 mg dL) was noted.

Adjuvant treatment decisions of patients with stage IIB/C and III melanoma in routine clinical practice.

The introduction of modern adjuvant therapies for melanoma has marked a paradigm shift for stage III in 2018 and stage IIB/C in 2022. However, patients' decisions sometimes deviate from the advice of physicians. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate adjuvant treatment decisions, influencing factors, and outcomes for melanoma patients with stage IIB/C and III receiving routine care at the Vivantes Skin Cancer Center, which operates across three locations in Berlin, Germany.

A genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor for visualization of acetyl-CoA in live cells.

Acetyl-coenzyme A is a central metabolite that participates in many cellular pathways. Evidence suggests that acetyl-CoA metabolism is highly compartmentalized in mammalian cells. Yet methods to measure acetyl-CoA in living cells are lacking.
