Cross-sectional survey of users of internet depression communities

Background: Internet-based depression communities provide a forum for individuals to communicate and share information and ideas. There has been little research into the health status and other characteristics of users of these communities. Methods: Online cross-sectional survey of Internet depression communities to identify depressive morbidity among users of Internet depression communities in six European countries; to investigate whether users were in contact with health services and receiving treatment; and to identify user perceived effects of the communities. Results: Major depression was highly prevalent among respondents (varying by country from 40% to 64%). Forty-nine percent of users meeting criteria for major depression were not receiving treatment, and 35% had no consultation with health services in the previous year. Thirty-six percent of repeat community users who had consulted a health professional in the previous year felt that the Internet community had been an important factor in deciding to seek professional help. Conclusions: There are high levels of untreated and undiagnosed depression in users of Internet depression communities. This group represents a target for intervention. Internet communities can provide information and support for stigmatizing conditions that inhibit more traditional modes of information seeking

MR fluoroscopy in vascular and cardiac interventions (review)

Vascular and cardiac disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed and emerging countries. Vascular and cardiac interventions require extensive fluoroscopic guidance to navigate endovascular catheters. X-ray fluoroscopy is considered the current modality for real time imaging. It provides excellent spatial and temporal resolution, but is limited by exposure of patients and staff to ionizing radiation, poor soft tissue characterization and lack of quantitative physiologic information. MR fluoroscopy has been introduced with substantial progress during the last decade. Clinical and experimental studies performed under MR fluoroscopy have indicated the suitability of this modality for: delivery of ASD closure, aortic valves, and endovascular stents (aortic, carotid, iliac, renal arteries, inferior vena cava). It aids in performing ablation, creation of hepatic shunts and local delivery of therapies. Development of more MR compatible equipment and devices will widen the applications of MR-guided procedures. At post-intervention, MR imaging aids in assessing the efficacy of therapies, success of interventions. It also provides information on vascular flow and cardiac morphology, function, perfusion and viability. MR fluoroscopy has the potential to form the basis for minimally invasive image–guided surgeries that offer improved patient management and cost effectiveness

Kinetic investigations of the steam reforming of methanol over a Pt/In2O3/Al2O3 catalyst in microchannels

A kinetic study of methanol steam reforming over bimetallic Pt/In2O3/Al2O3 catalyst was carried out. The kinetic measurements were performed in a microstructured monolithic reactor with an external recycle free of temperature and concentration gradients. By the help of residence time distribution measurements it could be verified that the reactor showed the behaviour of an ideal continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The absence of external and internal concentration gradients could be proven by corresponding experiments and theoretical diagnostic criteria. The kinetic measurements performed by variation of the reactant inlet partial pressures revealed that in the temperature range from 310 °C to 355 °C the molar rate of methanol consumption mainly depends on the methanol partial pressure, especially at higher temperatures, whereas there is only minor dependence on the water partial pressure. Carbon dioxide has no inhibiting effect, whereas hydrogen showed a weak inhibiting effect. Two power laws and three Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate equations were created for the modelling of the kinetic data. Power laws could not be fitted to the measured values. Therefore the uses of Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate laws with temperature dependent sorption constants are inevitable for the modelling. The model discrimination revealed that the rate law derived from a mechanism, which assumes the dehydrogenation of an adsorbed methoxy-species as rate determining step, described the measured kinetic data second best. Optimum agreement between observed and predicted molar rates of methanol consumption was obtained when applying a Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate law assuming dissociative methanol and molecular water adsorption on the catalyst surface. Dissociative adsorption of water and methanol at the same active site may be excluded. This leads to a better evaluation of the models that assume molecular water adsorption at the same site where methanol ties or the ones with no participation of water in the rate determining step (RDS) under discrimination
