The Power of Beliefs in Recovery-Oriented Practice: A Brief Report from the STIGMAPRO Survey.

Despite the international incentives and the worldwide development of recovery-oriented policies, it has proven challenging to establish recovery-oriented mental health services that take into account users' subjectivity and perspectives (Slade et al., World Psychiatry 13(1):12-20, 2014. https://doi.

Humanizing neuropsychological assessment: The role of empathy.

Context: Recent research and the majority of neuropsychological testing manuals emphasize the importance of establishing a proper relationship between the evaluator and the evaluatee. However, there is relatively little empirical research on this point.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to operationalize empathy in the evaluator/evaluatee relationship during neuropsychological assessment.

Cleft palate associated with an unbalanced karyotype in piglets sired by a heterozygous carrier boar with a balanced constitutional reciprocal translocation.

The progeny of a commercial (Landrace x Duroc) x Large White boar contained a number of piglets with cleft palates. Chromosomal analyses of five affected piglets showed that they all had an identical unbalanced karyotype with partial monosomy of chromosome 16 and partial trisomy of chromosome 3, whereas the normal piglets in the litters had balanced karyotypes. The chromosomal imbalance was the direct result of a constitutional balanced reciprocal translocation carried by their heterozygote sire, described, according to the standard nomenclature, as t(3;16)(q23;q22).

A new reciprocal translocation in a subfertile bull.

Three bulls of the Montbéliarde breed that exhibited fertility rates lower than 30% following more than 400 artificial inseminations were examined. Semen quality (sperm motility and morphology) from these bulls was normal. Fertilizing ability estimated from in vitro embryo production results was studied for two of them.

Cytogenetic and molecular characterization of eight new reciprocal translocations in the pig species. Estimation of their incidence in French populations.

Eight new cases of reciprocal translocation in the domestic pig are described. All the rearrangements were highlighted using GTG banding techniques. Chromosome painting experiments were also carried out to confirm the proposed hypotheses and to accurately locate the breakpoints.

Chromosomal abnormalities in hypoprolific boars.

Four new chromosomal rearrangements are reported in the domestic pig: 3 reciprocal translocations, rcp(4;12)(p13;q13) in a crossbred boar, rcp(1;7)(q17;q26) in a Large White purebred boar, rcp(1;6)(q17;q35) in a purebred synthetic paternal line boar, and a pericentric inversion inv(2)(p13q11) in a crossbred boar. The 1/7 reciprocal translocation and the pericentric inversion were detected in animals that had sired small litters. The effect of the 1/7 translocation was accurately determined: -4.

Characterization of reciprocal translocations in pigs using dual-colour chromosome painting and primed in situ DNA labelling.

We report the use of dual-colour chromosome painting to determine the exact nature of certain chromosome rearrangements observed in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica). The chromosomal abnormalities were detected by GTG- and RBG-banding techniques. The initially proposed interpretations were: (1) rcp(6;13)(p1.

Five new cases of reciprocal translocation in the domestic pig.

Five new cases of reciprocal translocation in the domestic pig are described. Three of them, rep(3;5)(p1.3;q2.

Nine new cases of reciprocal translocation in the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica L.).

Nine pigs with decreased litter size or sired by boars with decreased litter size were found to be reciprocal translocation carriers. Four Large White animals (two females and two males) demonstrated translocations involving chromosomes 1 and 9 (1p-;9p+), 11 and 13 (11q+;13q-), 3 and 13 (3;13)(p1.5;q3.

Chromosomal evolution in gazelles.

The chromosomes of nine gazelle species and two other Antilopinae species (Antidorcas marsupialis and Antilope cervicapra) were prepared from fibroblast cultures. G- and C-band karyotypes were constructed, and when possible, autosomal arms were numbered according to the cattle standard karyotype. Diploid chromosome numbers ranged from 30 to 58.
