Climate change is disproportionately warming the Arctic, leading to changes in weather patterns that affect breeding phenology for many Arctic species. Despite extensive research on non-predatory birds, few studies have examined the impacts of climate change on higher trophic levels, especially those comparing breeding phenology and productivity between migratory and resident species. Our study us
Background: The global shift to sustainable diets has raised interest in plant-based protein sources, particularly pulses, due to their nutritional value, health benefits, and low environmental impact. Pulses are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and a variety of bioactive compounds that may influence gut microbiota and metabolic health. Objective: This narrative review aims to evaluate the role of
Background: Septic arthritis (SA) is considered the most harmful etiology in patients presenting with an acutely painful swollen knee. This study aimed to estimate the incidence, mortality rate, and cause of death among patients diagnosed with SA and compare it to non-infectious causes. Methods: We conducted a population-based observational cohort study in Skåne, southern Sweden, with a population
Direct reprogramming of somatic cells into induced dopaminergic neurons (iDANs) is a promising strategy for replacing degenerated dopamine neurons in Parkinson’s disease. One current bottleneck for translation of direct neuronal reprogramming is the low reprogramming efficiency and difficulty to acquire enough tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive iDANs. Here we systematically refine the culture cond
PURPOSE: Subterminal intracranial Internal Carotid Artery (ICA-I) occlusion is a lesser-known stroke subtype which may delay access to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We compared clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, treatment delays, outcomes, and diagnostic accuracy between EVT-treated patients with ICA-I and carotid terminus (ICA-T) occlusions.METHODS: All EVT-treated patients with i
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the posterior fossa, that is, cerebellum and brainstem, often has a poor prognosis. Treatment options are limited. However, primary preventive measures may have changed during the last decades. We aimed to study the hospitalization-based incidence and characteristics of posterior fossa ICH and examine whether these changed during a 13-year period. Meth
Background: The external environment, including toxicants, remains largely unexplored in celiac disease (CeD). Some of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have immune-toxic properties and may play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases.Methods: In case-control studies nested in the Norwegian MoBa and the Finnish DIPP cohorts, children with CeD were identified by case-finding (
Achieving negative resection margins (R0) is central to curative surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but its prognostic relevance in multivisceral resections has been unclear. Using the largest international registry of multivisceral pancreatic resections, we performed a propensity score-matched analysis comparing R0 and R1 resections in patients undergoing multivisceral resection
An in vitro model of classical conditioning could improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms thanks to controlled pharmacological manipulation and negligeable perturbations from external networks. Here, using mice cerebellar slices and patch clamp recordings, we present a protocol for classical conditioning of Purkinje cells in vitro at room temperature. Repeated pairing of a parallel fibe
DN DEBATT.Politiker pratar gärna om hur mycket mer pengar medelklassen får i fickan av skattesänkningar, men statistiken visar att detta inte stämmer. Tittar man på balansen mellan inbetalad skatt och utbetalade ersättningar ser man att medelklassen tappat mest under 2000-talet, skriver Niklas Altermark och Anton Svensson, forskare vid Lunds universitet.
STUDY DESIGN: Psychometric study.OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the data completeness, data distribution and ceiling/floor effects, internal consistency and convergent validity of the Swedish versions of the Spinal Cord Independence Measure IV (s-SCIM IV) and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure Self-report (s-SCIM-SR).SETTING: Swedish inpatient and outpatient spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.METH
PURPOSE: Deleterious effects from concomitant gradients are amplified at lower field strengths and stronger gradients. We aimed to show the signal errors caused by concomitant gradients across a wide range of hardware configurations and propose corrections that can be applied during experimental design and analysis.THEORY AND METHODS: We derived a compact but accurate expression for concomitant gr
This systematic literature review examines 69 studies published between 2012 and 2025, investigating how corruption affects corporate ESG performance and reporting. It analyzes the impact of corruption at both the national and firm levels, highlighting how it undermines sustainability, transparency, and stakeholder trust. Using bibliometric and thematic synthesis, the review identifies key intelle
BackgroundClinical monitoring of patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy is facilitated by detailed assessment of cardiac loading conditions. Specifically, alterations in preload and afterload may unmask pathology through effects on ventricular pressure–volume (PV) relations. Therefore, the aim was to assess non-invasive PV loops during left ventricular load manipulation in healthy participa
The increasing demand for accessible phosphorus sources, essential for plant growth, is placing growing pressure on both industry and academia. Here, we investigate nanoplatelets as carriers for phosphate species, using Laponite® as a model system for sprayable phosphorus formulations. We examine how phosphate species chain length (1, 2, 3, 14, 60, and 130 monomers) governs dispersion stability an
This article presents Dynamic Collections, an interactive platform developed at Lund University to provide cultural heritage institutions with a dedicated environment for making three-dimensional archaeological data available for analysis, interpretation and reuse. Developed from a teaching experiment in collaboration with the Visual Computing Lab at CNR Pisa, museum partners and the Swedish Natio
