This chapter examines how the history and legacy of Polish-Swedish activist Ludwika Broel-Plater have been obscured in Swedish public discourse, in which she is recognized mainly as a passive and grateful recipient of Swedish humanitarianism. The first part of the chapter examines silences that have entered narrative constructions in Swedish public discourse about survivors who came to Sweden as r

Inflammation and insulin resistance are associated with increased mortality in the general population. However, it remains unclear how physical activity and proinflammatory/hyperinsulinemic diets influence overall survival in prostate cancer patients. We analyzed 4779 men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Postdiagnosis physical activity and diet were

BACKGROUND: To determine the association between cancer diagnosis and subsequent risk of ASCVD, and to examine the trajectory of the association over time after cancer diagnosis.METHODS: We prospectively followed 108,689 women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (1984-2020), 113,569 women in the NHSII (1991-2019), and 45,328 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) (1986-2016) who were

Background. Flecainide is a first-line rhythm control treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), however long-term treatment outcomes are understudied. Objective. To investigate associations of electro- (ECG) and echocardiographic indices with safety and efficacy outcomes of long-term flecainide treatment for recurrent AF. Methods. Consecutive patients with AF admitted for in-hospital f

In this preliminary study, the influence of a subsequent heat treatment after extrusionExtrusion and swagingSwaging on the microstructureMicrostructure, hardness, and corrosionCorrosion behavior of Mg0.15Ca was investigated. Heat treatment was carried out at 300, 400 and 500 °C for 1 h, and 16 h at 500 °C. Immersion in HBSS and Ringer's solution was done for up to 7 days. With increasing heat trea

Background: Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) predict coronary heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death, all of which are also related to sodium intake. We studied estimated sodium intake and PVC frequency in the randomly selected population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study cohort. Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included 5636 individuals with 24-hour

The fourth edition of this widely used textbook offers a new perspective. Previously titled Business Process Modeling, Simulation and Design, as the new title suggests, this book is about analytical business process modeling and design. However, this new edition introduces analytics to the title and to the presentation. The main objective of this book is to provide students with a comprehens

Objectives: To examine the risk of progression and time to progression from penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN) to invasive penile cancer in patients treated for PeIN with either surgery, laser ablation or topical treatment, and to examine recurrence risk after treatment of PeIN. Patients and Methods: Data on patients diagnosed with PeIN (n = 1122) between 2000 and 2020 were extracted from the

Objective: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) defined as an infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) of ≥30 mm reduces mortality, but managing patients with diameters of 25 to 29 mm is debated. Incorporating body surface area into the diagnostic criteria may improve the identification of those at risk of developing treatment-requiring aneurysms in this group. In a previous study, we defined a r

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the optimal duration of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock refractory to medical therapies after cardiac surgery and whether its prolonged use is justified. DATA SOURCES: Previously published articles on postcardiotomy venoarterial ECMO. STUDY SELECTION: Articles reporting on the early outcome after postcardiotomy venoarterial E

Background: The purpose of this analysis was to revisit the open US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection list results from clinical trials and show the possibilities of evaluating inspection results between different world regions and explore what aspects of clinical trial deficiencies are most often reported.Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate inspection results from different re

Aim of the review: To provide an overview of studies that have published dataregarding region and population size, procedure location, team composition, inclusionand exclusion criteria, outcome parameters, and cost–benefit analyses onextracorporeal membrane oxygenation use for refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Data sources: A structured systematic literature search of articles published pr

Aim of the review: This review aimed to evaluate the impact of Point-of-care Ultrasound during cardio- pulmonary resuscitation for adult non-traumatic CA on clinical outcomes and survival.Data sources: This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The PubMed and Embase databases were searched on 14 November 2022. The

The dynamics of chemical reactions in solution are of paramount importance in fields ranging from biology to materials science. Because the hydrogen-bond network and proton dynamics govern the behavior of aqueous solutions, they have been the subject of numerous studies over the years. Here, we report the observation of a previously unknown associative state in the hydroxide ion that forms when a

Objective: To assess foetal circulating free foetal haemoglobin (fHbF) levels and heme defences, correlated to foetal circulatory biometry and foetal sex in severe early-onset foetal growth restriction (FGR). Design, Setting and Population: A prospective study severe early-onset foetal growth restriction pregnancies with close clinical management (estimated foetal weight (EFW) < 3rd centile and <

Background: Composite outcome measures aim to provide a more holistic view when determining the effectiveness and safety of surgical interventions. Recently, 'Ideal Outcome' (IO) harmonized the European and American composite outcome of pancreatic surgery. The rate of IO after pancreatoduodenectomy was 54% but is unknown after left pancreatectomy(LP). Methods: This transatlantic analysis included

Taking advantage of the relatively automatic and easy operation procedure, continuous-flow catalysis has become a promising wastewater treatment technique for organic dye removal. However, developing suitable packing catalysts with favorable activity and low flow resistance remains a challenging task for the construction of continuous-flow catalytic systems. In this paper, we report the preparatio
