Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) remains the Achilles' heel of pediatric lung transplant limiting its long-term success. Unfortunately, therapy options for CLAD are still restricted. The last option for progressive CLAD would be consideration for lung re-transplant; however, numbers of pediatric patients undergoing lung re-transplantation are very small and its success depends highly on the optimal selection of the most suitable candidate.
Peach scab, caused by Venturia carpophila, can significantly reduce both the yield and quality of peach fruit. It is difficult to distinguish peach scab from other peach diseases such as black spot and bacterial spot. An efficient assay is needed to identify V. carpophila in order to develop scientific management strategies.

A set of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) primers was designed based on the internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) sequence to detect V. carpophila. Compared with the conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, the LAMP method not only exhibited higher sensitivity and specificity in the detection of V. carpophila, but also required simpler equipment and less operational time. The minimum detectable concentration of V. carpophila genomic DNA with the LAMP method was 56.6 fg μl
, which was 100 times lower than with the conventional PCR method. When eight fungal species including V. carpophila (23 isolates from 14 provinces) and one bacterial species were used with LAMP detection, only V. carpophila showed a color change, from brown to yellowish green, and ladder-like bands in electrophoresis, indicating successful amplification. Moreover, when crude DNAs of peach fruit samples were used in LAMP detection, amplification was observed only from diseased fruits, and not from healthy fruits and the negative control.

The LAMP assay shows simplicity, rapidity, high sensitivity and specificity, and will be useful in distinguishing scab caused by Venturia carpophila from other diseases with similar symptoms. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Forensic psychiatric care involves the treatment of patients with serious mental illnesses who also have committed a crime, and there are known challenges for mental health staff to create a health-promoting climate. The aim of the present study was to describe mental health professionals' perceptions of the concept of patient participation in forensic psychiatric care. Interviews were conducted with 19 professionals and were analysed with a phenomenographic approach. The findings are presented as three descriptive categories comprising five conceptions in an hierarchic order 1. create prerequisites - to have good communication and to involve the patient, 2. learn more adapt to forensic psychiatric care conditions - to take professional responsibility and to assess the patient's current ability, and 3. progress - to encourage the patient to become more independent. The findings highlight the need for professionals to create prerequisites for patient participation through good communication and involving the patient, whilst adapting to forensic psychiatric care conditions by taking professional responsibility, assessing the patient's ability, and encouraging the patient to become more independent without adding any risks to the care process. By creating such prerequisites adapted to the forensic psychiatric care, it is more likely that the patients will participate in their care and take more own responsibility for it, which also may be helpful in the patient recovery process.
Patients with essential tremor treated with thalamic deep brain stimulation may experience increased tremor with the progression of their disease. Initially, this can be counteracted with increased stimulation. Eventually, this may cause unwanted side-effects as the circumferential stimulation from a standard ring contact spreads into adjacent regions. Directional leads may offer a solution to this clinical problem. We aimed to compare the ability of a standard and a directional system to reduce tremor without side-effects and to improve the quality of life for patients with advanced essential tremor.

Six advanced essential tremor patients with bilateral thalamic deep brain stimulation had their standard system replaced with a directional system. Tremor rating scale scores were prospectively evaluated before and after the replacement surgery. Secondary analyses of quality of life related to tremor, voice, and general health were assessed.

There was a significantly greater reduction in tremor without sid those patients who progress at a later time point.Hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) is a biocompatible polyether polymer that is a potential colloid component in a preservation solution for suppressing interstitial edema during cold storage of a donor organ. This study evaluated the outcomes of kidney transplants after cold perfusion and storage with a HPG-based preservation solution (HPGS) in a pig model of kidney autotransplantation. The left kidneys of farm pigs (weighing 35-45 kg) were perfused with and stored in either cold HPGS or standard UW solution (UWS), followed by transplantation to the right side after right nephrectomy. The survival and function of transplants were determined by the urine output, and serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of recipients. Transplant injury was examined by histological analysis. Here, we showed that there was no significant difference between HPGS and UWS in the prevention of tissue edema, but HPGS was more effective than UWS for initial blood washout of kidney perfusion and for the prevention of cold ischemia injury during cold storage. After autotransplantation, the kidneys preserved with HPGS (HPG group) had better functional recovery than those with UWS (UW group), indicated by significantly more urine output and lower levels of SCr and BUN. The survived grafts in HPG group had less tissue damage than those in UW group. In conclusion, as compared to the UWS the HPGS has less negative impact on kidney cold ischemia during cold storage, resulting in improving immediate functional recovery after transplantation, suggesting that HPG is a promising colloid for donor kidney preservation.
