Article Synopsis
- There is an increasing prevalence of sexting among youth, with the study aiming to identify demographic, technology use, and social context factors that predict sexting behaviors in minors.
- The research surveyed a total of 996 youths aged 9-17, analyzing their responses regarding sexting behaviors, technology use, and social attitudes through logistic regression.
- Key predictors of sexting included gender, age, use of dating apps, attitudes towards sharing images, and perceived norms among friends, highlighting the significance of these factors for potential interventions.
Article Synopsis
- - A 75-year-old man with a past thoraco-abdominal surgery experienced sudden severe stomach pain, leading to a CT scan that revealed small bowel loops herniating into the chest through a diaphragm defect.
- - Although conventional CT results showed a potential normal appearance of the bowel, advanced imaging techniques like spectral imaging indicated that the herniated bowel lacked blood flow, suggesting it had died (infarcted).
- - The quick diagnosis helped the patient undergo surgery to remove the affected bowel, resulting in a successful outcome.
Objectives: To determine the optimal window setting for displaying virtual monoenergetic reconstructions of third generation dual-source, dual-energy CT (DECT) angiography of the abdomen.
Methods: Forty-five patients were evaluated with DECT angiography (90/150 kV, 180/90 ref. mAs).
Evidence indicates that astronauts experience significant bone loss in space. We previously showed that simulated microgravity (μXg) using the NASA developed rotary cell culture system (RCCS) enhanced bone resorbing osteoclast (OCL) differentiation. However, the mechanism by which μXg increases OCL formation is unclear.

Protein kinase C (PKC), Ca2+-dependent enzymes and mitogen-activated protein kinase (p42/44 MAPK) have previously been shown to be essential modules of the signalling pathway leading from the pertussis-insensitive 5-HT2A receptor to the induction of Cox-2 mRNA expression. In the present study, PKC activation was linked to the 5-HT-mediated phosphorylation and thus the activation of p42/44 MAPK: the inhibition of PKC by the specific inhibitor GF109203x prevented p42/44 MAPK activation.
