BACKGROUND: Discordance between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been linked to adverse outcomes. A low eGFRcys/eGFRcr-ratio, conceptualized as selective glomerular hypofiltration syndrome (SGHS), has been hypothesized to reflect early metabolic kidney vulnerability, although non-glomerular filtration rate determinants may also contribute. We investi
Social support is important for human well-being. Adolescents with experience of out-of-home care (OHC) have an increased risk of low well-being and lack of strong social support networks. Well-being in the general population is known to fluctuate during the life-course, particularly during adolescence. The purpose of this study was to increase our understanding of how well-being differs at differ
Take Home Message Lymph node–positive renal cell carcinoma is a heterogeneous condition. Patients with bulky or multiple nodal metastases often behave like those with metastatic disease and may benefit more from upfront systemic therapy than from surgery alone.
In this work, the electrical performance of fully vertical single-fin a-plane gallium nitride fin-based field-effect transistors (FinFETs) with short gate length (Lg≈ 200nm) and a drift-layer thickness of 4.3 µm is investigated. Device characteristics are evaluated over a temperature range from 25 °C to 150 °C for various fin widths. The FinFETs exhibit stable normally-off operation across the ent
Involving the local community in the late stages of a project offers minimal opportunity for influencing decision-making. Therefore, project managers must act early and establish arenas for participation where dialogue and learning can take place. Early involvement through stakeholder participation can be a way to involve the local community in the early stages of urban regeneration projects. A co
Aims Left ventricular (LV) function is enhanced during exercise in endurance-trained (ET) compared to untrained (UT) healthy individuals. However, the volume responses of the right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA), and right atrium (RA) during exercise have not been studied in the same subject simultaneously and while standardizing for the respiratory influence on cardiac volumes. The aim was ther
Independent-living senior housing (ILSH) is viewed as a promising housing alternative for promoting active aging, yet evidence remains limited on how spatial design and programming support social engagement. This study examined residents’ use of common spaces, evaluations of community programs, and perceived social opportunities in affordable ILSH. A three-site case study in Metro Boston used mixe
Aim: To investigate at a national level the multidisciplinary team (MDT) care of patients with diabetes mellitus and foot complications.Methods: A questionnaire was sent to all 75 Swedish hospitals with emergency departments, which were grouped according to size.Results: The response rate was 92%, 58/69 of the hospitals have a foot team. Most teams have access to an internal medicine specialist/di
AIMS: Osteoarthropathy, a rare foot complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, calls for immediate and optimal management to prevent irreversible bone/joint destruction and risk of amputation. Awareness of the condition and adequate guidelines would minimize the consequences and the costs, both for the patient and for the society. We investigated the diabetic osteoarthropathy care in Swedish
Introduction: Restoration of surgical capacity is essential to post-COVID-19 recovery. This study explored the use and safety of anaesthesia options for inguinal hernia surgery, a common tracer condition, to describe current global practice and highlight opportunities to build the capacity of health systems.Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an international prospective cohort study of conse
Marco Polos klassiska reseskildring har gjort honom till en av tidernas stora resenärer. Med avfärd 1271 tog sig den unge venetianaren, tillsammans med far och farbror, över Asiens väldiga landmassa ända till Kina, kom i mongolhärskarens tjänst och återvände inte till sitt hemland förrän 1295 – där det hände sig att han togs som krigsfånge av det rivaliserande Genua. Och det var där, i fångenskape
This essay celebrates Professor Johannes Müller and his promotion of novel studies of inequality in the past. Here we reconsider the formation of the Nordic Bronze Age and the frictions that arose when a strong collective tradition was challenged by the new opportunities for individual enrichment available in a global bronze-led network, from c. 2100 BCE. What impact did this have on the scale of
Det är alltid trevligt att få presentera examensarbeten och andra likande rapporter om lavar. Här är ett nyligen presenterat examensarbete där Emma Ydreborg undersökt vilka miljöfaktorer som ökar artdiversiteten hos lavar på bok på Söderåsen i Skåne. Läs om hennes arbete och vilka resultat hon fick.
The Alevis are not one but many historical and present-day communities in Turkey and Europe with close but not identical beliefs, practices, and identities. Their traditions are linked to Anatolian cultural traditions and to Turkish and Kurdish ethnic differentiations and affiliations influenced by the contentions between Islam and secularism salient in Turkish society. This article gives an overv
We propose an endogenous architecture where a market designer can impose arbitrary restrictions on the price space, the capacity structure, the entitlement structure, and the rationing system (the architectural components). This not only generates a specific matching model, but it also endogenously generates an equilibrium concept, a domain of preference profiles, and a matching mechanism (the arc
Background and Objectives: Navigation systems are designed to enhance surgical precision, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of implant misplacement. In this study, we have evaluated a novel orthopedic surgical platform that utilizes CT imaging with AI-based algorithms to automate several critical aspects of total hip arthroplasty. It contains three modules-preoperative planning, nav
Background: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated. While dopaminergic treatments have been associated with behavioural adverse effects, the relationship between pramipexole treatment and incident substance use disorder in psychiatric populations remains poorly understoBackground: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated.

Fega och egenkära skurkar som fuskar, hjältar som för en ojämn kamp mot mörka krafter, brottare som kastar varandra i golvet med öronbedövande brak, slänger varandra genom bord som klyvs på mitten, slåss bland publiken så att stolarna ryker, domare som inte sällan missar regelbrott och övertramp och en publik av skrikande män och kvinnor som med liv och lust engagerar sig i kampen mellan det goda
