Development and initial validation of the multilingual Swiss version of the brief parental burnout scale by Seraina Caviezel Schmitz, Paula Krüger

“…The aim of the present study was to develop a multilingual version of the Brief Parental Burnout Scale (BPBS) adapted to the Swiss context in order to (1) provide practitioners working with families in different language regions of Switzerland with a screening tool, and (2) to estimate initial prevalence rates for risk of PB. Overall, results indicate, that the Trilingual Swiss BPBS (3-L-BPBS) is a promising screening tool, allowing for early detection of parents at risk and therefore for the prevention of negative consequences of PB. …”

Standardizing initial dilution titers of antinuclear antibodies for the screening of systemic lupus erythematosus by Joseph Sushil Rao, Vineeta Shobha, Tinku Thomas, Usha Kini

“…Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a systemic autoimmune disease, is diagnosed by correlating clinical features with a positive Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) test. Detection of ANA by Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) is used for screening SLE and is dependent on initial dilution titers which require population-specific standardization. …”

The Importance of the Population III Initial Mass Function in Determining the Characteristics of the Earliest Galaxies by Richard Sarmento, Evan Scannapieco

“…Modeling Pop III stars according to a log-normal, top-heavy initial mass function (IMF), we find that these stars contribute no more than ≈1% of the flux of potentially detectable lensed galaxies at z  = 12–14 with M _AB ≤ −15. …”

MRI-Driven Longitudinal Studies of Hippocampal Alterations During the Initial Cognitive Decline by Qunxi Dong, Yuhang Sheng, Junru Zhu, Honghong Liu, Zhigang Li, Jingyu Liu, Yalin Wang, Bin Hu

“…LHAAS was applied on two groups: cognitive unimpaired (CU) participants who maintained cognitive unimpaired (non-Progressors), and participants who converted to MCI during the following four years (Progressors). LHAAS can detect and visualize subtle deformations in the bilateral hippocampus of CU progressors four years before they show initial cognitive decline. …”

Structural and functional correlations in the pre-perimetric and the initial stages of glaucomatous optic neuropathy by M. O. Kirillova, A. N. Zhuravleva, M. V. Zueva, I. V. Tsapenko

“…Results.In patients with suspected glaucoma, changes in the parameters of transient pattern-ERG correlated with RNFL thinning in the macular region, inner plexiform layer (IPL), and ganglion cell layer(GCL) in the parafoveal area. In patients with initial glaucoma, changes in the retinal GCL were detected for the upper, lower, and temporal quadrants, while the nasal and central quadrants remained intact in all three GCC layers (RNFL, GCL, and IPL). …”
