AIM: The study aimed to assess the haemodynamic effects of fludrocortisone and midodrine, alone or combined, in patients with recurrent syncope and/or symptoms due to hypotension and ≥ 1 daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) drop < 90 mmHg or ≥ 2 daytime SBP drops < 100 mmHg recorded by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM1).METHOD: A total of 53 patients (mean age, 40.9 ± 18.5 years, 3
This study provides an analysis of atmospheric neutrino oscillations at the ESSnuSB far detector facility. The prospects of the two cylindrical Water Cherenkov detectors with a total fiducial mass of 540 kt are investigated over 10 years of data taking in the standard three-flavor oscillation scenario. We present the confidence intervals for the determination of mass ordering, θ23 octant as well a
The measurement of the breakup of the radioactive nucleus 7Be on 12C at 5 MeV/u is reported for the first time. Significant coincidence counts of α and 3He from 7Be breakup have been identified. Analysis is ongoing to identify the breakup events from a direct or sequential process.
Background/Objectives: Extensive research has emphasised the persistent challenges and failures in providing hospitalised patients with fundamental evidence-based nursing care, often resulting in grave consequences for patient safety. Recommendations from implementation research indicate that a tailored theory- and research-based implementation strategy targeting contextual determinants can optim
Circular start-ups are vectors of hope for a circular transition. But what does a circular champion’s bankruptcy tell us? That a structural barrier to the circular transition is the total dependence on the ability of circular businesses to be profitable.
AimsRight ventricular (RV) failure causes high mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). RV stroke work index (RVSWi) poses as a potential predictor of outcome. We evaluated how RVSWi by echocardiography (ECHO) or right heart catheterization (RHC) is altered following PAH treatment and if RVSWi is an indicator of outcome in PAH.Methods and resultsFifty-four patients with PA
Tumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. However, the current TNM staging system does not account for the presence of tumour deposits in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer, or for the presence of multiple deposits. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour deposit count in patients with coBackgroundTumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer.

Pseudo-Random Injections (PRIs) have been used in several applications in symmetric-key cryptography, such as in the idealization of Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) schemes, building robust AEAD, and, recently, in converting a committing AEAD scheme into a succinctly committing AEAD scheme. In Crypto 2024, Bellare and Hoang showed that if an AEAD scheme is already committing,
Automated cryptanalysis has seen a lot of attraction and success in the past decade, leading to new distinguishers or key-recovery attacks against various ciphers. We argue that the improved efficiency and usability of these new tools have been undervalued, especially for design processes. In this article, we break for the first time the classical iterative design paradigm for symmetric-key primit
BACKGROUND: The knowledge about the prevalence of schizophrenia among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) is sparse, particularly concerning the distribution in different age groups.AIMS: To investigate the prevalence of diagnoses in the schizophrenia spectrum among people with ID compared with the general population (gPop).METHODS: This was an 8-year longitudinal register study. The partic
Background and objectiveOrganised prostate cancer (PCa) testing (OPT) was introduced in Sweden to gain knowledge in preparation for a potential national PCa screening programme. This study aims to explore men’s opinions regarding the OPT invitation letters and the attitudes influencing their decision to participate in or decline OPT.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 30
Objective: To assess the reliability of speech data and speech-related quality indicators in the Swedish quality registry for cleft lip and palate (CLP) at 10 years of age. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: University hospitals. Participants: One hundred twenty-one 10-year-olds with unilateral or bilateral CLP. Main outcome measures: Six independent raters reassessed audio recordings for compa
We present a versatile two color high-harmonic generation setup employing spatial light modulators for precise waveform control. Independent power control for both colors allows a continuous two-color ratio and phase scan of the harmonic yield.
Background: There is an urgent need to evaluate the quality of healthcare systems to improve and deliver high-quality care. Clinical registries have become important platforms for performance measurements, improvements, and clinical research. Hence, the quality of data in registries is crucial. This study aimed to assess the validity of data in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Register (SCRCR). Metho
The wide spread of on-line social networks poses new challenges in information environment and cybersecurity. A key issue is detecting stubborn behaviors to identify leaders and influencers for marketing purposes, or extremists and automatic bots as potential threats. Existing literature typically relies on known network topology and extensive centrality measures computation. However, the size of
Racialized inequalities in organizations and workplaces are reproduced not only by the discrimination of non-whites but also by behaviors among whites aimed at counteracting and resisting initiatives and measures aimed at achieving racial equality. On this background, the purpose of the present study was to empirically investigate expressions of white fragility, white counterreactions, and institu
