Objective: To report the use of a percutaneous carotid access with vessel closure devices (VCDs) during complex endovascular aortic arch repair. Methods: Seven international high-volume centers conducted a retrospective review of all patients receiving percutaneous carotid access with VCD during endovascular aortic arch procedures to investigate its feasibility and safety. The primary end point wa
Mitochondria play a crucial role in metabolism and energy production by generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation. They also help maintain intracellular calcium levels, facilitate communication between the nucleus and cytoplasm, detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS), and regulate apoptosis. Reversible acetylation of mitochondrial proteins is a key post-translationa
When did Sweden become equal? This question has far-reaching implications for our understanding of Swedish history and for general theories about inequality, institutions, and politics more broadly. In this article, we present the first multidimensional comparative analysis of the development of inequality in Sweden. Our findings reveal that, although the share of income and wealth accruing to the
A central debate in conspiracy theory research concerns how to conceptualise conspiracy theories in a way that advances our understanding of the phenomena themselves as well as of those who believe in them. This debate remains unresolved, with researchers adopting widely different positions: while some argue for a purely descriptive understanding, others are strongly committed to the view that con
Two hydrogen-bonding monomers containing tetraethylene glycol (TEG) chains have been synthesized and characterized. The monomers are based on a bicyclic scaffold appended with either 4H-bonding benzyl-substituted ureidopyrimidinone motifs or 2H-bonding unsubstituted pyrrole-fused ureidopyrimidinone motifs, with the TEG chains introduced with the aim of developing amphiphilic monomers soluble in no
Objective: To characterize patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) diagnosed before age 18 years within a nationwide Swedish Fontan cohort. Methods: Surgical records and medical charts were reviewed for all patients born after January 1, 1993, who underwent Fontan completion before January 1, 2021. Results: Among 573 reviewed patients, 28 (4.8%) developed PLE. The median time to onset of PL
Glutathione is a major component of the cellular antioxidant system, providing a means of controlling redox homeostasis and affording protection against oxidative damage. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers insights into brain metabolism by enabling the noninvasive quantification of metabolites. Previous studies have demonstrated that the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA detect
The global climate change governance landscape is rapidly evolving. Non-state actors and institutions increasingly challenge the formal authority of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), operating in parallel with its intergovernmental processes. In particular, multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) carry out several policy functions, becoming established actors within
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with reduced quality of life and relapse risk. However, few studies have investigated how quality of life is associated with cognitive deficits following MDD and is affected by cognitive training. This study investigated the long-term effects of computer-based working memory training (CWMT) on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in remitted MDD, and
Background Anorexia nervosa is associated with high personal and financial costs for sufferers, carers and society in general, but little is known about the long-term health economic burden. Aims To examine healthcare utilisation, social assistance, sick leave and disability pension in individuals with anorexia nervosa over a period of 30 years. Method Fifty-one individuals with adolescent-onset a
Objectives: Both depression and suicidal behaviour have been associated with neuroinflammation. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a protein involved in microglial activation, has been linked to pro-inflammatory cytokines and the severity of depressive symptoms. The extent to which peripheral levels of Gal-3 reflect neuroinflammation is unknown, as is the relationship between Gal-3 and suicidality. Methods: Bloo
The functional decline of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with age is a well-documented phenomenon, associated with various health complications, including anemia, impaired immune responses, and chronic inflammation. This dysfunction can contribute to the onset of hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML
Self-compassion is associated with positive mental health outcomes and may buffer against negative self-evaluations and emotional difficulties. Nevertheless, studies among athletes often explore self-compassion in specific groups in isolation (e.g., women athletes) (Röthlin et al., 2019). The aims of this study were to 1) explore whether the relationship between gender and composite scores and spe
Background Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly being explored as a tool to help reduce aggressive behavior in forensic psychiatric settings. This study aimed to explore the experiences of therapists and ward staff participating in a pilot study of a VR-assisted aggression treatment within a Swedish maximum-security forensic psychiatric clinic.Methods A qualitative, descriptive, and exp
Background and Aims: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent in aging populations. Dietary anthocyanin has been shown to exert metabolic benefits in aging and age-associated metabolic disorders. However, its role in protecting against age-dependent hepatic steatosis and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined.Approach and Results: In 18-mo
