Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is performed by surgeons from various specialties and remains central to minimally invasive surgical training. This study assessed whether surgeon subspecialty affects patient outcomes and explored aspects of LC education. Methods: This population-based study included 46,700 LCs performed between 2020 and 2023, using data from the Swedish Registry for
Global usage of pharmaceuticals has led to the proliferation of bacteria that are resistant to antimicrobial treatments, creating a substantial public health challenge. Here, we investigate the emergence of sulfonamide resistance genes in groundwater and surface water in Patna, a rapidly developing city in Bihar, India. We report the first quantification of three sulfonamide resistance genes (sulI
IntroductionSport-related concussion (SRC) is one of the most common and concerning injuries in team sports, with potential long-term effects on athlete health and performance. Linear head acceleration (LHA) and rotational head acceleration (RHA) are central biomechanical markers of brain loading during impact. Yet, the magnitude of these accelerations during SRC events remains poorly synthesized
This dissertation discusses various issues relating to Iron Age settlements in the area around the central place of Uppåkra. Most of the sites have been excavated by contract archaeology. The discussion begins with a presentation of the material from the houses in the settlements, detailing the different construction types and discussing the functions and chronological aspects of the houses. The d
Wastewater monitoring is highly efficient in SARS-CoV-2 surveillance for tracking virus spread through travel, surpassing traditional airport passenger testing. This study explored the links between SARS-CoV-2 contents and variants from aircraft to city, assessing the impact of detected variants from international travellers versus the local population. A total of 969 variants using next-generatio
Från de första kyrkorna på 900-talet och fram till idag har kyrkor uppförts och försvunnit igen. Kyrkor har ersatts av nya på samma plats eller på andra platser. Kyrkor har även lagts ner av olika anledningar. Kyrkorna har således både ökat och minskat i antal. Idag har många kyrkor blivit övertaliga och används därför mer sällan, i några fall tillåts de förfalla, får nya funktioner eller säljs. TFrom the first churches in the 9th century to the present day, churches have been built and then disappeared again. Churches have been replaced by new ones in the same or other locations. Or churches have been closed for various reasons. The churches have thus increased in number and decreased again. Today, many churches have become redundant and are therefore used less frequently, in some cases t
The study analyzed changes in phenolic compounds and the total polyphenol content during peanut sauce cooking, comparing samples prepared with peanuts with and without kernel coating. The peanut sauce formulation consisted of 3.3% w/v peanut powder mixed with water, which was boiled for 2 h at around 100°C. Methanol extracts were used to assess the polyphenol content. Identification and quantifica
Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates is an important field in the biorefinery as bio-alternative to conventional plastics. However, its commercialization is still limited by high production cost. In this study, a process with the potential to reduce the production cost of polyhydroxyalkanoates was proposed. Mixed cultures accumulated polyhydroxyalkanoates using volatile fatty acid-rich effluents fr
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains naturally produce pesticidal proteins as nanocrystalline inclusions that are extraordinarily stable in aqueous environments, but which dissolve selectively at specific pH conditions. These proteins have been used in agriculture for >50 years and are critical to global food security. The majority of previously determined Bt Cry protein structures lack the extende
Conceptualising public authority as continually performed, this paper traces the interplay between modes of legitimation, state capacity and scalar politics in governing the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite attempts to unify COVID responses nationally, governance practices differed across India’s cities: Ahmedabad (Gujarat) heightened policing, Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) engaged its decentralised gover
PURPOSE:Among available tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF-inhibitors) only etanercept is approved for treatment of children with polyarticular course juvenile arthritis. Nevertheless also infliximab and adalimumab are used in selected cases, especially in patients having failed on etanercept.The objective was to evaluate adherence to therapy (a combined measure of efficacy and side effects as
As artistic research grows into an established mode of academic inquiry, it has become possible to distinguish a ruling metaparadigm which we denote as the practice paradigm. This paradigm is to a large extent based on the argument that artistic research is not equipped to produce standalone theories, but instead offers ways to develop and disseminate knowledge through sensory media and embodiment
