    Abstract Objective: To investigate adolescents' experiences with the food selection at the sport arena.
    Design: Four focus group interviews were conducted with 4-6 participants each. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were coded in NVivo and the analysis was guided by thematic analysis.
    Setting: Adolescents from handball and football clubs in Oslo and Viken, Norway, participated in the study.
    Participants: A total of nine boys (11-14 years old) and ten girls (11-14 years old) participated in the study.
    Results: We identified four main themes: interest for healthy food; experiences with the food selection at the sports arena; factors influencing participants' food choices at the sports arena and expectations related to a healthy food selection at the sports arena. Adolescents across the focus groups experienced the food selection at the sports arena as unhealthy. Price, marketing and availability of unhealthy food were important factors that influenced their food choices at the sports arena. The trainer appeared to motivate the participants to eat healthy.
    Conclusions: Participants wished for a healthier food selection at the sports arena. Cost of food emerged as a factor that influenced their food choices. Our study also indicates that marketing of unhealthy food and beverages should be restricted, to influence adolescence food choice towards healthier alternatives.

    Abstract With the corresponding Liouvillian as a starting point, we demonstrate two seemingly new phenomena of the STIRAP problem when subjected to irreversible losses. It is argued that both of these can be understood from an underlying Zeno effect, and in particular both can be viewed as if the environment assists the STIRAP population transfer. The first of these is found for relative strong dephasing, and, in the language of the Liouvillian, it is explained from the explicit form of the matrix generating the time-evolution; the coherence terms of the state decay off, which prohibits further population transfer. For pure dissipation, another Zeno effect is found, where the presence of a non-zero Liouvillian gap protects the system's (adiabatic) state from non-adiabatic excitations. In contrast to full Zeno freezing of the evolution, which is often found in many problems without explicit time-dependence, here, the freezing takes place in the adiabatic basis such that the system still evolves but adiabatically.

    Abstract The history of resorbable polymers containing glycolide, lactide, ε-caprolactone and trimethylene carbonate, with a special emphasis being placed on the time frame of the 1960s-1990s is described. Reviewing the history is valuable when looking into the future perspectives regarding how and where these monomers should be used. This story includes scientific evaluations indicating that these polymers are safe to use in medical devices, while the design of the medical device is not considered in this report. In particular, we present the data regarding the tissue response to implanted polymers, as well as the toxicity and pharmacokinetics of their degradation products. In the translation of these polymers from "the bench to the bedside," various challenges have been faced by surgeons, medical doctors, biologists, material engineers and polymer chemists. This Perspective highlights the visionary role played by the pioneers, addressing the problems that occurred on a case by case basis in translational medicine.

    Abstract l-Lactide/trimethylene carbonate copolymers have been produced as multifilament fibers by high-speed melt-spinning. The relationship existing between the composition, processing parameters and physical properties of the fibers has been disclosed by analyzing how the industrial process induced changes at the macromolecular level, i.e., the chain microstructure and crystallinity development. A poly(l-lactide) and three copolymers having trimethylene carbonate contents of 5, 10 and 18 mol % were synthesized with high molecular weight ( M

    Abstract In order to investigate reservoirs of Staphylococcus aureus in dairy goats, samples for bacteriological analyses were collected from seven herds. S. aureus was detected in 353 (6.2%) of 5671 milk samples, 53 (9.9%) of 535 teat skin swabs, 392 (68.9%) of 569 nasal swabs and in 180 (31.6%) of 569 vaginal swabs. Vaginal swabs were more often S. aureus-positive after kidding (44.9%) than before drying off (19.1%), while nasal swabs were more often positive before drying off (75.6%) than after kidding (62.0%). Retrieved S. aureus isolates were compared by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and selected isolates were tested for enterotoxin genes (se) by PCR. By PFGE, 505 S. aureus isolates were divided into 33 pulsotypes (PTs). The five most prevalent PTs included 73.3% of the isolates and were found in 3-5 herds. Pairs of S. aureus isolates from persistent intramammary infections (IMI), repeated vaginal swabs, and from milk and teat skin from the same animal were usually identical. Paired isolates from other body sites of the same animal, including from bilateral IMI, were identical in less than 50% of the situations. The majority (71.9%) of analysed S. aureus isolates were se-positive. The genes sec, sell and tst were detected almost exclusively, but no correlation was observed between persistence of IMI and the enterotoxin gene profile of the causal S. aureus strains. The frequent presence of S. aureus on the mucous membranes may contribute to dispersal of the bacteria among dairy goats, hampering effective transmission control in dairy goat herds.

    Abstract A new group based treatment for patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED), combining guided Physical Exercise and Dietary therapy (PED-t), has shown the capacity to alleviate BN and BED symptoms. The PED-t is run by therapists with a professional background in sport sciences and nutrition, which in many clinical settings is an uncommon group of professionals. The symptom reduction effects using the PED-t need validation from patients who have been given this kind of treatment, as negative experiences may impinge further clinical implementation. To explore such experiences, semistructural interviews were conducted with 15 participants. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a systematic text condensation approach. Overall, patients experienced the format and content of the PED-t as beneficial and as providing tools to manage BN- and BED symptoms. The patients' experiences of therapist credibility was enhanced by their appreciation of the therapists' professional background. Finally, some treatment modifications were suggested. Overall, the PED-t may thus be offered to patients with BN and BED, by a new set of professionals, and in uncommon settings. This possibility calls for future effectiveness studies integrating both parametric and experiential data.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility, local tissue effects and performance of a synthetic long-term resorbable test mesh (TIGR(®) Matrix Surgical Mesh) compared to a non-resorbable polypropylene control mesh following implantation in a sheep model.
    Methods: Full-thickness abdominal wall defects were created in 14 sheep and subsequently repaired using test or control meshes. Sacrifices were made at 4, 9, 15, 24 and 36 months and results in terms of macroscopic observations, histology and collagen analysis are described for 4, 9, 15, 24 and 36 months.
    Results: The overall biocompatibility was good, and equivalent in the test and control meshes while the resorbable mesh was characterized by a collagen deposition more similar to native connective tissue and an increased thickness of the integrating tissue. The control polypropylene mesh provoked a typical chronic inflammation persistent over the 36-month study period. As the resorbable test mesh gradually degraded it was replaced by a newly formed collagen matrix with an increasing ratio of collagen type I/III, indicating a continuous remodeling of the collagen towards a strong connective tissue. After 36 months, the test mesh was fully resorbed and only microscopic implant residues could be found in the tissue.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that the concept of a long-term resorbable mesh with time-dependent mechanical characteristics offers new possibilities for soft tissue repair and reinforcement.
