Cardiometabolic diseases are the leading preventable causes of death in most geographies. The causes, clinical presentations, and pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases vary greatly worldwide, as do the resources and strategies needed to prevent and treat them. Therefore, there is no single solution and health care should be optimised, if not to the individual (ie, personalised health care), the

Recent decades have seen an increased mobilization of LGBTQ rights in the creation and maintenance of national(ist) identities. One example is how Sweden has been cast as exceptionally progressive with regard to gender equality and LGBTQ rights, in line with earlier notions of ‘Swedish exceptionalism’. Simultaneously, military institutions across a number of countries have attempted to mobilize is

Essential tremor (ET) is characterized by bilateral upper limb postural and/or kinetic tremor, but also cognitive deficits. Tremor in ET, as well as aspects of cognitive deficits associated with ET, have been suggested to be linked to dysfunction in the cerebello-thalamo-cerebral circuit. In ET patients with disabling and medically intractable motor symptoms, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is effect

Despite the critical role of microorganisms in plant and fungal residue decomposition, our understanding of their full diversity remains limited. This is due largely to the rapid microbial succession during decomposition, a scarcity of studies including multiple sampling times, and the omission of a species richness index encompassing all decay stages. To address these gaps, we conducted a meta-an

Background: Research on ethnic and socioeconomic treatment differences following in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) largely draws on register data. Due to the correlational nature of such data, it cannot be concluded whether detected differences reflect treatment bias/discrimination – whereby otherwise identical patients are treated differently solely due to sociodemographic factors. To be able to
Background: The prospective association of depression with incident sarcopenia remains unknown, as does whether such an association is modified by a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the goal of this study was to determine whether depression is independently related to the risk of developing sarcopenia and to detect the effect of a healthy lifestyle on its modification. Methods: The prospective study inclu
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) serves as the source of many large rivers in Asia, and also serves as a natural habitat for rare wildlife and a genetic reservoir for plateau species. The exceptional ecological environment of the QTP has fostered diverse fish species. However, due to climate change and human activities, fish species in this area are facing serious threats, while large spatial scale
The paper focuses on skills and competences applied in audio description (AD) of a Swedish multimodal popular scientific journal. The journal is made accessible for blind and visually impaired audiences by producing an audio version of its verbal and visual contents. The task of the sighted audio describer is to create a verbal description of the contents that activates internal images of the blin
Background: Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cerebral small vessel disease. We aimed to determine whether antihypertensive drug classes differentially affect microvascular function in people with small vessel disease. Methods: We did a multicentre, open-label, randomised crossover trial with blinded endpoint assessment at five specialist centres in Europe. We included participants aged
Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is a transcriptional regulator expressed in the thymus and necessary for maintaining immunological self-tolerance. Extra-thymic AIRE expression is rare and a role for AIRE in tumor-associated innate immune cells has not yet been established. In this study we show that AIRE is expressed in human pro-tumor neutrophils. In breast cancer, AIRE was primarily located to tumor
An animal's visual field is the three-dimensional space around its head from which it can extract visual information at any instant1. Bird visual fields vary markedly between species, and this variation is likely to be driven primarily by foraging ecology1,2,3. The binocular visual field is the region in which the visual fields of the two eyes overlap; thus, objects in the binocular field are imag
