Observed crustal uplift near the Southern Patagonian Icefield constrains improved viscoelastic Earth model
Thirtyâone GPS geodetic measurements of crustal uplift in southernmost South America determined extraordinarily high trend rates (> 35 mm/yr) in the northâcentral part of the Southern Patagonian Icefield. These trends have a coherent pattern, motivating a refined viscoelastic glacial isostatic adjustment model to explain the observations. Two endâmember models provide good fits: both require a lithospheric thickness of 36.5â±â5.3 km. However, one endâmember has a mantle viscosity near η =1.6 Ă1018âPaâs and an ice collapse rate from the Little Ice Age (LIA) maximum comparable to a lowest recent estimate of 1995â2012 ice loss at about â11 Gt/yr. In contrast, the other endâmember has much larger viscosity: η = 8.0 Ă1018âPaâs, half the postâLIA collapse rate, and a steadily rising loss rate in the twentiethâcentury after AD 1943, reaching â25.9 Gt/yr during 1995â2012.Fil: Lange, H..

Patients' and clinicians' perspectives on relevant treatment outcomes in depression:qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Although symptomatic remission is considered the optimal outcome in depression, this is not always achieved. Furthermore, symptom indicators do not fully capture patients' and clinicians' perspectives on remission. Broader indicators of (partial) remission from depression should be considered. AIMS: To investigate relevant outcomes of depression treatment in specialist care from patients' and clinicians' perspectives and to investigate whether these perspectives differ from each other. METHOD: Three focus groups with 11 patients with depression and seven semi-structured interviews with clinicians were conducted exploring their perspectives on remission. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. We analysed the transcripts thematically using the phenomenologist approach. RESULTS: Independently, both patients and clinicians perceived the following outcomes relevant: restoring social functioning and interpersonal relations, regaining quality of life and achieving personal goals. All clinicians emphasised symptom reduction and satisfaction with treatment as relevant outcomes, whereas the former was not an obvious theme in patients. Unlike clinicians, patients made a clear distinction between treatment outcomes in first versus recurrent/chronic depression. CONCLUSIONS: Classically defined study outcomes based on symptom resolution only partly reflect issues considered important by patients and clinicians in specialist depression treatment. Incorporating patients' and clinicians' perspectives in the development of measurable end-points makes them more suitable for use in trials and subsequent translation to clinical practice. Furthermore, evaluating patients' perspectives on treatment outcomes helps in the development of tailored interventions according to patients' needs
