Abstract Population-level data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in pregnancy and SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes are lacking. We describe pregnant women Scotland, using whole-population from a national, prospective cohort. Between the start of program 8 December 2020 31 October 2021, 25,917 vaccinations were given to 18,457 women. Vaccine coverage was substantially lower than general female population 18−44 years; 32.3% giving birth 2021 had two doses compared 77.4% all The extended perinatal...
Reports suggest that COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness is decreasing, but whether this reflects waning or new SARS-CoV-2 variants-especially delta (B.1.617.2)-is unclear. We investigated the association between time since two doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and risk severe outcomes in Scotland (where was dominant), with comparative analyses Brazil uncommon).In retrospective, population-based cohort study Scotland, we linked national databases from EAVE II Scotland; Vaccination Campaign, Acute...
Abstract Evidence on associations between COVID-19 vaccination or SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of congenital anomalies is limited. Here we report a national, population-based, matched cohort study using linked electronic health records from Scotland (May 2020-April 2022) to estimate association and, separately, six weeks pre-conception 19 days gestation [1] any major anomaly [2] non-genetic anomaly. Mothers vaccinated in this pregnancy exposure period mostly received an mRNA vaccine...
Abstract Understanding the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy on neonatal maternal outcomes informs clinical decision-making. Here we report a national, population-based, matched cohort study to investigate associations between and, separately, just before or during risk adverse among women Scotland with singleton ending at ≥20 weeks gestation. Neonatal are stillbirth, death, extended perinatal mortality, preterm birth (overall, spontaneous,...
Abstract Data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in early pregnancy are limited. We conducted a national, population-based, matched cohort study assessing associations between vaccination and miscarriage prior to 20 weeks gestation and, separately, ectopic pregnancy. identified women Scotland vaccinated 6 preconception 19 days (for miscarriage; n = 18,780) or 2 ectopic; 10,570). Matched, unvaccinated from pre-pandemic pandemic periods were used as controls. Here we show no association...
A 10 m prototype interferometer facility is currently being set up at the AEI in Hannover, Germany. The will be housed inside a 100 m3 ultra-high vacuum envelope. Seismically isolated optical tables system interferometrically interconnected via suspension platform interferometer. Advanced isolation techniques used, such as inverted pendulums and geometrical anti-spring filters combination with multiple-cascaded pendulum suspensions, containing an all-silica monolithic last stage. light...

Objectives To examine neonates in Scotland aged 0–27 days with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by viral testing; the risk of neonatal maternal and infant characteristics; hospital admissions associated infections. Design Population-based cohort study. Setting population All live births Scotland, 1 March 2020–31 January 2022. Results There were 141 over study period, giving an overall rate 153 per 100 000 (141/92 009, 0.15%). Among infants born to women around time birth, was 1812 (15/828,...
Background There is limited evidence quantifying the risk of severe COVID-19 disease among people with opioid dependence. We examined vaccine uptake and (admission to critical care or death COVID-19) individuals prescribed agonist therapy (OAT). Method A case–control design was used examine in those OAT compared general population, association between OAT. In both analyses, 10 controls from population were matched (to each recipient case, respectively) according socio-demographic factors....
ObjectivesAmong people receiving opioid-agonist treatment (OAT), the risk of COVID-19 infection and disease may be higher owing to underlying health problems vulnerable social circumstances. We aimed determine whether recent OAT, when compared with past exposure, affected (i) testing for SARS-CoV-2, (ii) positive (iii) being hospitalized or dying disease.MethodsWe included individuals prescribed OAT in Scotland from 2015 2020. performed record linkage SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing, vaccination,...
Obviously, a comprehensive review of the current status cerebrovascular disease is not possible in 100 pages. This book rather series articles, originally published in<i>Progress Cardiovascular Diseases</i>in 1980; these articles were devoted almost entirely to transient brain ischemia. Facets subject are covered well although always equally. For example, carotid endarterectomy fully, while extracranial-intracranial surgical bypass procedures discussed somewhat sketchily. An especially...
Asymmetries produced in the scattering of 7.8-MeV polarized neutrons have been measured to an accuracy better than \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.020 for 12 angles ranging from 58\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} 165\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} (c.m.). The $^{9}\mathrm{Be}(\ensuremath{\alpha}, {n}_{0})$ reaction was employed as a neutron source with polarization 0.539\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.012. asymmetries agree 8-MeV data charge-symmetric $p\ensuremath{-}d$ scattering,...
Angular distributions of the polarization neutrons produced in $^{13}\mathrm{C}(^{3}\mathrm{He}, n)^{15}\mathrm{O}_{\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.}$ reaction have been obtained at 2.95, 3.45, and 3.85 MeV. The 20\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} lab six additional energies between 3.0 3.9 MeV was measured also. Scattering from $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ contained a high pressure scintillation cell served as neutron analyzer. three angular were somewhat similar shape, that they showed large negative minima...
We present two options for length sensing and control of a three-mirror coupled cavity. The the first cavity uses amplitude or single sideband modulation phase in combination with beat-frequency demodulation scheme, whereas scheme second incorporates demodulation. theoretical experimental performance is discussed as well relevance to research programme develop interferometric techniques application future gravitational wave detectors.
We present a discussion of the use amplitude modulation techniques with regard to length sensing and control optical cavities for laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. Traditional radio-frequency automatically include phase as product process, which can contaminate signal after demodulation. In particular, many length-sensing schemes detected signals are demodulated in quadrature, which, case traditional scheme, will result offsets due additional modulation. demonstrate this...
Currently, the AEI 10 m Prototype is being set up at Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany. The Suspension Platform Interferometer (SPI) will be an additional interferometer inside vacuum envelope of Prototype. It interferometrically link three suspended in-vacuum tables. inter-table distance 11.65 m. SPI measure and stabilise relative motions between these tables for all degrees freedom, except roll around optical axis. In this way, can regarded as one large platform. design goal...
