Background and importance: The major risk factor for vermilion lip squamous cell carcinoma (vlSCC) is excessive sunlight exposure. Population-based studies on treatment and outcome are lacking. Methods: This is a nation-wide, population-based study of treatment and outcome from prospectively recorded data for 2,111 vlSCC registered in the Swedish Head and Neck Cancer Register (SweHNCR) diagnosed 2

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million individuals worldwide, and approximately one-third of patients remain refractory to existing antiseizure medications. Advances in gene therapy and genome editing have opened new possibilities for disease-modifying interventions that directly target the molecular and circuit-level mechanisms underlying epileptogenesis. Recent progress in central nervous system

Access to detailed network data is often constrained by access-controlled datasets or by extensive manual labour. Using aerial imagery and a simplified OpenStreetMap road-level graph, a novel approach is proposed to extract lane-level road topology graphs at signalized intersections based on detection of common road objects, classification of lane attributes, and a simultaneous lane-to-lane connec

The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no multidisciplinary consensus document has examined the perioperative considerations of how to best manage these patients. To address this challenge, this perioperative utilization of ECLS in l

The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation Consensus for Perioperative Utilization of Extracorporeal Life Support in Lung Transplantation consists of 111 Delphi-derived statements across 3 separate manuscripts. These statements aim to provide comprehensive phase-of-care recommendations for international multidisciplinary teams to use in their clinical practice from time of recipi

Integrating multi-modal patient data to support personalized medicine has gained a lot of interest across different health domains over the past decade. Addressing this challenge requires the development and implementation of an informed, evidence-based AI-driven decision-support system continuously maintained and updated to align with the latest clinical guidelines. A key challenge to ensure its

This qualitative study analyses exaggeration in natural conversation from a dialogic perspective using data from the London–Lund Corpus 2 (LLC–2). We define exaggeration as an extreme degree on a scale, e.g., my bag weighs a ton. degree is central to our definition of exaggeration, which involves scaling a gradable property up, or down, to a level that comes across as counterfactual or inappropria

Håldäckselement i betong är ett vanligt förekommande byggelement i Nordeuropa. Det är materialeffektiva element som tillverkas i fabrik med förspänd armering i underkant och ihåliga kanaler centrerat i tvärsnittet. Deras utformning och låga egenvikt bidrar till att möjliggöra långa spännvidder och flexibla planlösningar. Metoden för statisk dimensionering och lastkapaciteter finns dokumenterat och

This paper investigates the inventive performance of immigrants and the effect of education-occupation match (defined as the higher the educational level, the higher the skill-level of occu-pation) across multiple sectors. The study is based on a database that links inventors to the gen-eral population in Sweden from 1985 to 2007. The results find that immigrants patent different-ly from natives a

BakgrundPalliativ vårdavdelning är en plats som ofta präglas av sorg, smärta och svåra beslut. För patienter och deras anhöriga kan det vara svårt att hitta utrymme för glädje och lättnad, och för vårdpersonalen innebär det dagliga mötet med döden en emotionell påfrestning. Sedan hösten 2023 har denpalliativa avdelningen i Lund fått oväntad men värdefull förstärkning: varannan vecka besöker två sj

Sensing is an integral part of 6G and beyond systems, providing exceptional environmental perception along with communication. Radio frequency (RF)–based sensing often relies on simplified geometric assumptions (e.g., point scatterers or planar surfaces) to model specular multipath and keep inference tractable. However, such representations are not physically informative and fail to accurately cap

Granskning av språkliga och innehållsliga val och strategier i primärt två översättningar av Axel Wallengrens "fakirtexter" till tyska respektive danska med särskilt fokus på Wallengrens s k alfabetsverser.

The transition to a circular economy has placed growing pressure on packaging systems to enable effective material recovery across increasingly complex waste and recycling infrastructures. Focus on aggregate recycling rates obscure the stage-­ specific inefficiencies that determine whether packaging material re-­ enters production, making it difficult to target packaging design efforts, infrastruc

Urban mobility is a key mechanism through which the autistic community asserts their right to the city , more broadly representing the neurodiversity movement’s struggle for spatial justice. While public transport plays a critical role in facilitating mobility for the autistic community, limited research has examined their perspectives on how physical and social environmental factors shape their e
