Cystatin C was identified as a marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in 1979, and the parallel analysis of cystatin C and creatinine led to the identification of shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) ? a new kidney disorder ? in 2015. Since then, it has been shown that cystatin C in many aspects is superior to creatinine as a marker of GFR and cardiovascular risk. SPS, an entity within the selective g

The present study aims to explore in what ways teachers at upper secondary level work in a diverse classroom with particular focus on the students’ heterogeneous knowledge of the English language.

However, there is hardly any empirical research on 1) whether chants from across the globe share common acoustic properties, 2) whether these acoustic features make them distinct from other human vocalizations, and 3) the extent to which they may positively impact listeners’ well-being. Here, we collected 242

Background: Revascularization of a stenosis is warranted when hemodynamically significant. Coronary physiology provides a diagnostic tool for assessment of stenosis severity to aid in the decision to revascularize or defer. The iFR-SWEDEHEART trial demonstrated non-inferiority of the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding decision-making in coronar

X-ray Fluorescence microscopy is a sophisticated advanced technique which can provide information regarding the concentration and the distribution of chemical elements within biological samples. It is increasingly used in the study of cells and tissues as it does not require the use of staining or fluorescent probes. For XRF measurements, sample preparation is a key step in the analytical process

PURPOSE: To assess the risk of self-fulfilling prophecy from withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in comatose cardiac arrest patients undergoing neuroprognostication.METHODS: Post-hoc multicentre study matching adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, in WLST-permitting cohorts (TTM and TTM2), and non-WLST-permitting cohorts (KORHN and ProNeCA). We matched patients in a 1:

Aim: In this paper, we aim to explain the reason why iron deficiency (ID) is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), how to better apply diagnostic tools to uncover the state of ID as well as how to interpret the results, and not least, how to treat ID in this group of patients. Methods: This article is an expert review and opinion paper on a topic that is too often forgotten in
