In recent years, nanotechnology-based approaches have resulted in the development of new alternative sustainable technologies for water purification. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are an emerging class of materials for nanofiltration membranes. In this work, we report the production, characterisation and testing of a promising nanofiltration membrane made from water-exfoliated boron nitride (BN) 2D nanosheets.

- Subclinical delusional ideas, like persecutory beliefs, are heritable and can indicate a higher risk for psychotic illness, possibly showing a continuum in psychosis severity.
- A study using resting-state fMRI on 131 young adults revealed that those with more severe delusional beliefs exhibited greater amygdala-visual cortex connectivity, especially among individuals with persistent persecutory ideas.
- The findings suggest that misattributing threats to sensory stimuli may contribute to the development of delusional thoughts, indicating that altered amygdala-visual cortex connectivity could be a marker for psychosis-related issues.
Study Design: Prospective questionnaire administration study.
Objectives: To assess the ability to translate total and domain scores from Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-24 to SRS-22r in a surgical-range, medical/interventional adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patient population.
Summary Of Background Data: Conversion of SRS-24 to SRS-22r is demonstrated in an operative cohort of patients with AIS, but not in a medical/interventional patient population.
