Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative imaging in the diagnosis of cardiophrenic lymph node (CPLN) metastases and to report perioperative outcomes after resection of CPLN at the time of cytoreductive surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Furthermore, to assess clearance of CPLN by postoperative imaging. Methods: All women with stage IIIC/IV EOC subjected to surgery at
The surgical repair of congenital heart defects in children with preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) is to varying degree associated with the occurrence of postoperative PH. The objective of this study was to follow up children with severe postoperative PH (pulmonary arterial/aortic pressure ratio ≥ 1.0) to evaluate if pulmonary arterial pressure spontaneously normalized or needed PH-targetin
Climate change is intensifying short-duration rainfall extremes, increasing urban pluvial flood risk across Swedish municipalities. This study develops a novel spatial statistical framework for basement flood risk assessment using Log-Gaussian Cox Process (LGCP) models on metric graphs, applied to 17 years of flood records from Trelleborg, southern Sweden.Unlike conventional approaches that treat
PURPOSE: To respond to the psychological needs of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, we developed and evaluated a theoretically grounded online intervention to teach adaptive coping skills to promote resilience in early survivorship: 'Recapture Life'. This qualitative study aimed to evaluate the process of implementing Recapture Life into community organisations, after having been
Radiosonde observations represent one of the most reliable and relevant methods of vertical profile measurements of the upper air metrological observations. Despite its importance in Numerical weather prediction (NWP), radiosonde observations suffer from persistent data gaps resulting from sensor failure, critical environment conditions, and signal interference. Therefore, there is a growing need
Since the transnational emergence of anti-gender mobilizations, trans people’s rights and identities have been increasingly contested. While existing scholarship has shown how anti-gender actors mobilize around the abstract common enemy of ‘gender ideology’, less attention has been paid to recent convergences against trans rights, and to the construction of trans people as targets of mobilization.
Introduction: Accurate evaluation of lymphadenopathy requires a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical, laboratory, and imaging data, particularly ultrasound, before and during fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Historically, the lack of standardized reporting systems has limited the reproducibility and clinical acceptance of lymph node FNAB. This review focuses on lymph node cytopatho
Adult patients with inherited metabolic diseases are often overlooked. Limited data on this population hinder adequate planning of their clinical and social care. In this retrospective, observational, cross-sectional service evaluation study, we reviewed the electronic medical records of adult patients with inherited neurometabolic diseases (NIMD) managed at Skåne University Hospital between 2020
Armed conflict profoundly affects women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, yet the pathways through which conflict shapes family planning and abortion uptake and decision-making remain insufficiently understood. This scoping review aimed to identify and map the available evidence on how armed conflict influences women’s use of, access to, and decisions about family planning and abortion
Background: Canine otitis externa (COE) is one of the most frequently recorded disorders in veterinary practices, making it an important focus for antibiotic stewardship. Hypothesis/Objectives: To investigate and compare treatment regimens for acute COE in Finland, Norway and Sweden, with a focus on antibiotic use. Animals: 1060 dogs with acute COE lasting for ≤ 4 weeks. Materials and Methods: Thi
The fossil record offers a unique window into patterns of extinction and biodiversity recovery over deep time, and recent advances in analytical methods have significantly enhanced this research field. Our analysis of an updated dataset that includes 50 terminal taxa and 175 fossil occurrences of Ophiacodontidae, Edaphosauridae, and Sphenacodontidae (OES grade hereafter) using a recent implementat
Background: Adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas (ASCP) is a rare and aggressive subtype of pancreatic cancer with a dismal prognosis. Futility in ASCP has been inadequately studied. The aim is to assess the incidence of futility in ASCP cases within a European cohort. Methods: Retrospective, multicenter European study including all consecutive patients who underwent surgery for ASCP between 20
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent pregnancy complication that seriously endangers maternal and infant health, posing a medical and economic burden worldwide. Several dietary patterns have been recommended for women of childbearing age, demonstrating a positive role in preventing and managing GDM. However, these dietary patterns may not fully take environmental factors into account
Background: The rapid advancement of medical technologies presents significant challenges for researchers and practitioners. While traditional clinical trials remain the gold standard, they are often limited by high costs, lengthy durations, and ethical constraints. In contrast, in-silico trials and digital twins have emerged not only as efficient and ethical alternatives but also as a complementa
PurposeDual design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) takes into account both the opportunities and constraints of AM simultaneously, which research shows is more effective than considering them separately. Unlike existing reviews, this paper aims to map DfAM research within the engineering design process, focusing solely on studies adopting dual DfAM. Additionally, it aims to suggest future resear
BACKGROUND: Access to adequate pain treatment is a fundamental right, yet international data suggest that a considerable number of children experience acute and persistent pain. Little is known about the occurrence of both acute and persistent pain in children. The incidence of persistent postoperative pain in children is an unexplored area but international studies suggest that many children expe
