Open AccessThe headache under-response to treatment (HURT) questionnaire, an outcome measure to guide follow-up in primary care: development, psychometric evaluation and assessment of utility
Headache disorders are both common and burdensome but, given the many people affected, provision of health care to all is challenging. Structured headache services based in primary care are the most efficient,...

Erratum: Estrogen oversees the maintenance of the female genetic program in terminally differentiated gonochorists
The sexual plasticity of the gonads is not retained after the completion of sex differentiation in vertebrates, except in some hermaphroditic species. Here, we report that the depletion of estradiol-17β (E2) by a...

Immunocytochemical localization of gonadotropins during the development of XX and XY Nile tilapia
Gonadal development and steroidogenesis in teleosts is regulated by two gonadotropic hormones; luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Earlier studies in tilapia have shown that FSH-β ...

Molecular cloning, gene expression and characterization of the third estrogen receptor of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Estrogens are essential for many reproductive and non-reproductive functions. In teleosts, it is well-known that several subtypes of estrogen receptors are required for the precise action of estrogens. Present...

Spatial beam profiles of femtosecond X-ray pulses generated by laser Compton scattering from a low-emittance electron beam
Polarization-dependent spatial beam profiles of femtosecond X-ray pulses generated by a laser Compton scheme were measured. The X-ray pulses were generated by the interaction at an angle of 90° between 100-fs ...

Electron-beam excitation of a Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 crystal for future high-peak-power UV lasers
In this experiment, we performed ultrafast spectroscopy on an electron-beam-excited Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 (Ce:LiCAF) crystal. The time-resolved fluorescence spectrum and lifetime with e-beam pum** differ significantly ...

Fluctuation of femtosecond X-ray pulses generated by a laser-Compton scheme
A short-pulse X-ray-generation experiment was performed by Compton scattering through interaction between a 3-ps electron beam and 100-fs laser photons in a 90° scattering configuration. The observed X-ray int...
