Objective The purpose of this study was to examine among psychiatric inpatients (N=110) the relationship, if any, between the number of Axis I diagnoses and the number of self-harm behaviors (SHBs). We also wished to explore the role of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in mediating this possible relationship. Method We examined discharge diagnoses in relationship to scores on the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) for all participants as well as by BPD status. Results For the entire sample, there was a significant correlation between the number of Axis I disorders and the number of SHBs [Spearman's rho(110)=0.21, p=0.03]. When examining this relationship in terms of BPD status, there were no significant between-group differences in the number of Axis I diagnoses. While patients diagnosed with BPD endorsed significantly more SHBs (M=9.53, SD=3.89) than nonBPD patients (M=5.32, SD=3.89), there was only a significant correlation between the number of Axis I disorders and SHB for the nonBPD, but not the BPD subsample. Conclusions Among psychiatric inpatients, there is a relationship between the number of Axis I diagnoses and the number of SHBs.

RBM family proteins plays the critical role in the progression of numerous tumors. However, whether RBM family proteins involved in prostate cancer (PCa) progression is remain elucidated. In our study, an RNAi screen containing shRNA library targeting 54 members of the RBM family was applied to identify the critical RBM proteins involved in prostate cancer progression under docetaxel treatment, and RBM19 was selected.

Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.

Methods: This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of sleep deprivation (SD) on balance after normal sleep, 24 h of SD, and subsequent rest under eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) conditions. Our aim was to ascertain whether the reduced efficiency of balance control following SD is generalized or selective.

Method: Nineteen participants (12 females, 7 males) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
