The potential of the Patterson methods for X-ray diffraction studies of textures is examined in DNA fibres. Patterson analysis, which is rarely used in these situations, is shown to yield important information on the preliminary interpretation of diffraction patterns and to increase the reliability of the three-dimensional structural pattern obtained for polymeric molecules. We also show how the screw symmetry of helical molecules can be used to calculate their electron density by means of the three-dimensional Patterson function.

Background And Objectives: An adverse social exposome negatively affects many diseases, but its association with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) survival is unknown. This study examined the association between the social exposome measure Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and ALS survival.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients with ALS at the University of Michigan Pranger ALS Clinic diagnosed after January 1, 2012.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of heart rate-guided basic resuscitation compared to Helping Babies Breathe on neonatal outcomes and resuscitation practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Methods: We conducted a pre-post clinical trial comparing heart rate-guided basic resuscitation to Helping Babies Breathe in three facilities, enrolling in-born neonates ≥28 weeks gestation. We collected observational data during a convenience sample of resuscitations and extracted clinical data from the medical record for all participants.

Antarctica is one of Earth's most untouched, inhospitable, and poorly known regions. Although knowledge of its biodiversity has increased over recent decades, a diverse, wide-ranging, and spatially explicit compilation of the biodiversity that inhabits Antarctica's permanently ice-free areas is unavailable. This absence hinders both Antarctic biodiversity research and the integration of Antarctica in global biodiversity-related studies.

Mixed-methods priority-setting study. The CAG was established, grounded in a participatory action research approach and using the Patient Engagement in Research Framework, to inform a 4-phase process: (1) understand, (2) plan, (3) undertake, and (4) evaluate.

Purpose: The study aims to identify determinants of implementation behavior among physical therapists frequently promoting physical activity (PA) in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey incorporating the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire (DIBQ) and anchored by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was sent to physical therapists working in cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation practices in Australia and Singapore. All items on the DIBQ were scored on a 7-point Likert scale from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree.
