OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to find out and assess satisfaction of Slovak women with psychosocial aspects of perinatal care. DESIGN AND SETTING The research was designed as a quantitative cross-sectional study. The research data were collected in five pediatric outpatient clinics in Slovakia. PARTICIPANTS The research sample consisted of 360 women within 0-1 year after natural delivery (average time in months from childbirth 6.22 ± 3.64) who visited the selected pediatric outpatient clinic in the period from October 2016 to January 2018. METHODS To collect the relevant data, the original Czech questionnaire measuring psychosocial climate in maternity hospitals - KLI-P (Cronbach α = 0.95) was used to investigate the satisfaction of women with care during labor and delivery as well as with psychosocial aspects. The following six factors were assessed (1) helpfulness and empathy of midwives and (2) of physicians, (3) superiority and lack of interest, (4) physical comfort and services, (5) control of AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE It can be concluded that it is necessary to pay attention to the psychosocial aspects of health care during labor and delivery, with the emphasis on strengthening interventions in the field of participation of women in decision-making. Simultaneously, it is beneficial to emphasize and support the naturalness of childbirth so that women would associate childbirth with a positive experience. Finally, it is important to promote skin-to-skin contact right after birth. OBJECTIVE Early onset group B streptococcal (EOGBS) disease is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. EOGBS preventive strategies aim to reduce the risk of neonatal complications. Two new strategies to prevent EOGBS were implemented in two regions in the Netherlands a risk-based and a combination strategy and were compared to the Dutch strategy in a third region. Little is known how women feel about preventive EOGBS strategies, the consequences for management during labour, side effects such as harm caused by over prescribing of antibiotics or anxiety caused by screening. Women's worries in pregnancy overall and on women's worries related to GBS regarding the different strategies were explored. METHODS Design - Setting - Participants - Interventions (if appropriate) - Before implementation of the two new strategies, all three regions worked according to the Dutch strategy. Women completed the Cambridge worry scale and a newly developed worry scale aimed to detect GBS related worries at 35 weetegy, primiparity and having a different country of origin are associated with the highest levels of overall worries in pregnancy and GBS related worries. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The low level of women's worries combined with limited effects and cost effectiveness of the three strategies suggests that the strategy with the least costs and lowest antibiotic use should be implemented. A more tailored approach seems needed to address the specific needs of primiparous women and of women from different countries of origin when implementing the combination strategy. Deficiencies in the adaptive immune system have been linked to anxiety-like behaviours and stress reactivity. Mice lacking T lymphocytes through knockout of the T cell receptor (TCR) β and δ chains were compared to wild type C57Bl/6 mice. Central stress circuitry gene expression was assessed following repeated restraint stress. TCRβ-/-δ-/- mice showed an increased baseline plasma corticosterone and exaggerated changes in stress-related gene expression after repeated restraint stress. Sexual dimorphic stress responses were observed in wild-type C57Bl/6 mice but not in TCRβ-/-δ-/- mice. These data suggest that T cell-brain interactions influence sex-differences in CNS stress circuitry and stress reactivity. We report on the construction and performance of the first hybrid resistive-superconducting magnet (HM) based scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) above 30 T. This custom-design HM-STM features a novel design of the STM head unit, whose tip-sample approach is implemented using a slender piezoelectric tube (PZT). The scanner shares part of PZT by fixing a sapphire frame onto the front quarter of PZT to construct a compact tip-sample loop, realising an outer diameter of 8.8 mm, which makes it compatible with a narrow sample space. Its main components are made of non-metallic materials of sapphire, which allows it to be immune from eddy currents and to operate under the condition of strong magnetic field fluctuation from a hybrid magnet, as well as cryogen-free cryocooler magnet systems. To analyse the stiffness of the STM head unit, the eigenfrequencies with 11 kHz and 12 kHz in bending modes, 25 kHz in a torsional mode, and 67 kHz in a longitudinal mode were simulated by finite element analysis; also, the drifting rates of the STM in ambient conditions in the X-Y plane and Z direction were measured at 25.5 and 38.2 pm/min, respectively. We present the first atomic images in magnetic fields up to 30.1 T in an HM. The raw data show the stable and distinguished performance while ramping up to maximum fields, indicating the new device's potential capability of operating in the future 45T-hybrid magnet and hundred-field pulsed magnet. Meanwhile, our compact and concentric cylindrical STM insert can operate in the low-temperature tubular sample space housed by the HM bore to develop low-temperature and extreme high-magnetic field STM.

Crucial in this kind of care is end-of-life decision-making, which is a complex process involving a variety of stakeholders and requiring adequate justification. The aim of this systematic review is to analyse papers tackling ethical issues in relation to end-of-life decision-making in intensive care units. It explores the ethical positions, arguments and principles. METHODS A literature search was conducted in bibliographic databases and grey literature sources for the time period from 1990 to 2019. The constant comparative method was used for qualitative analysis of included papers in order to identify ethical content including ethical positions, ethical arguments, and ethical principles used in decision-making process. RESULTS In the 15 included papers we have identified a total of 43 ethical positions. Ten positions were identified as substantive, 33 as procedural. Twelve different ethical principles emerged from the ethical arguments.
