Implementation of a Recovery College Embedded in a Swedish Psychiatry Organization: Qualitative Case Study.

Background: Recovery colleges are service user-led educational interventions aiming at empowering people with mental health issues and promoting recovery through peer learning. Despite the increasing interest in recovery colleges in recent years and the demonstrated beneficial effects for users, there is limited research addressing aspects that influence their implementation. This knowledge is necessary for the successful integration of such interventions in various contexts.

Mind the gap: analysis of two pilot projects of a home telehealth service for persons with complex conditions in a Swedish hospital.

Background: Developing and implementing home telehealth (HTH) services for patients with chronic conditions is a challenge. HTH services provide continuous and integrated care to patients, but very often pilot projects face non-adoption and abandonment issues. Change processes in healthcare are often complex and require learning to adapt to non-linear and unpredictable events.

Surgical Outcomes of Anterior Versus Posterior Fusion in Lenke Type 1 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Objective: To describe surgical results in two and three dimensions and patient-reported outcomes of scoliosis treatment for Lenke type 1 idiopathic curves with an open anterior or posterior approach.

Summary Of Background Data: Different surgical techniques have been described to prevent curve progression and to restore spinal alignment in idiopathic scoliosis.

Patients With Idiopathic Scoliosis Run an Increased Risk of Schizophrenia.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To investigate a possible linkage between idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and schizophrenia in an adolescent population.

Summary Of Background Data: There is an interesting link between schizophrenia and idiopathic scoliosis: schizophrenia is a disturbance of mental equilibrium, and scoliosis of physical equilibrium, both are multifactorial, genetically determined, start at a young age, and brain development is thought to play a role.

Engineered synthetic antibodies as probes to quantify the energetic contributions of ligand binding to conformational changes in proteins.

Conformational changes in proteins due to ligand binding are ubiquitous in biological processes and are integral to many biological systems. However, it is often challenging to link ligand-induced conformational changes to a resulting biological function because it is difficult to distinguish between the energetic components associated with ligand binding and those due to structural rearrangements. Here, we used a unique approach exploiting conformation-specific and regio-specific synthetic antibodies (sABs) to probe the energetic contributions of ligand binding to conformation changes.
