Emotional Pain Mediates the Link Between Preoccupied Attachment and Non-suicidal Self-Injury in High Suicide Risk Psychiatric Inpatients
Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a risk factor for suicide attempts (SA).Both attachment disturbances and cognitive and emotional problems (e.g., emotional pain) have been associated with SA history.This study sought to determine differential contributions of attachment styles and cognitive and emotional states associated with SA to l
Recombinant Rift Valley fever viruses encoding bluetongue virus (BTV) antigens: Immunity and efficacy studies upon a BTV-4 challenge.
BackgroundMany ruminant diseases of viral aetiology can be effectively prevented using appropriate vaccination measures.For diseases such as Rift Valley fever (RVF) the long inter-epizootic periods make routine vaccination programs unfeasible.Coupling RVF prophylaxis with seasonal vaccination programmes by means of multivalent vaccine platforms wou
Population structure of Chinese southwest wheat germplasms resistant to stripe rust and powdery mildew using the DArT-seq technique
ABSTRACT: Understanding genetic variability in existing wheat accessions is critical for collection, conservation and use of wheat germplasms.In ROOT BOOST this study, 138 Chinese southwest wheat accessions were investigated by genotyping using two resistance gene makers (Pm21 and Yr26) and DArT-seq technique.Finally, about 50% cultivars (lines) am
