BackgroundWireless pH-monitoring is an accurate method for diagnosing adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the Bravo capsule on children investigated for GERD in terms of safety, tolerability and feasibility before and after administration of proton pump inhibitors.MethodsA Bravo capsule was inserted during upper endoscopy under gener
There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expectaThere is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries.

ObjectivesAutoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) are serological markers of celiac disease. The aim was to study the applicability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyping and tTG autoantibodies in the screening of celiac disease in a longitudinal birth cohort followed to age 15 years.MethodsIncluded were 13,860 HLA-DQ-genotyped children at birth and previously invited to a screen
ObjectivesOur aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD).MethodsThe Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years in Skåne, Sweden. Among these, 138 (2.3%) children only in
Combinatorial optimization is a powerful way to solve complex problems, like planning, scheduling, or hardware verification, by expressing the problem in a mathematical form using discrete variables that can be solved by general solvers. Due to major advances in algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems, these solvers can tackle real-world challenges efficiently. However, as solve
We investigate the temperature-dependent resistive switching behavior of single-layer ITO/HfO₂/TiN resistive random access memory devices down to 10K. Devices formed at room temperature exhibit abrupt, Joule-heating-assisted RESET transitions that evolve into gradual, field-driven processes upon cooling. We found that the RESET voltage increases steadily with decreasing temperature, while the memo
Projektet har demonstrerat hur man kan tillverka mätutrustning för att mäta fönster- och dörröppningar och ett antal förslag presenteras för att göra mätningarna säkrare. Dessutom har projektet mätt öppningsvinklar i 15 bostäder under ett år varje minut, med kvantitativa resultat. Mätningar har gjorts för att koppla luftflöden till öppningar med små vinklar. Det har gjorts systematiska, förenklade
Although intermarriage is a commonly used indicator of immigrant integration into host societies, most research has focused on how individual characteristics determine intermarriage. This study uses the 1-910 IPUMS census sample to analyze how contextual factors affected intermarriage among European immigrants in the United States. We use newly-available complete-count census mircodata to construc
Introduction: Consensus is lacking regarding the upper limit for a safe contraction frequency during labor. We aimed to assess the association between different contraction frequencies and acidemia at birth, and whether an association was affected by oxytocin augmentation, concomitant cardiotocography (CTG) classification, and stage of labor. Material and Methods: This is a case–control study base
Aging is accompanied by progressive physiological declines in body functions. However, the molecular mechanisms of aging remain poorly understood in decapod crustaceans, a diverse group of invertebrates. We investigated age-related differences in the hemolymph proteomes of marbled crayfish using label-free protein quantification (LC-MS/MS), applying a significance threshold of p < 0.05 and a fold
Accessing high-spin configurations of transition metal phosphides defines a dividing line that prevents common properties of solid-state materials from being replicated within multiple-bonded molecular analogs. Here, we report the synthesis of a VIII phosphaethynolate complex, [(pyrNdipp)2V(PCO)] (2) in a halide metathesis with Na(OCP). Exposure of 2 to Lewis-basic ligands induces a one-electron r
Environmental relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are known to be promoters of physicochemical changes in pharmaceutical grade lactose, either in controlled (supervised conditioning), or uncontrolled (during transit and repository storage) scenarios. Comprehensive knowledge of this excipient's material characteristics prior to its use in formulation development is therefore a fundamental re
In the linear regression model, when the dimension p is fixed and n→∞, the asymptotic distribution of the estimation error for Lasso-type M-estimators is well established. In contrast, the convergence of the discrete structures (patterns) induced by these regularizers, such as sparsity or clustering, has remained largely unaddressed, even for the standard Lasso penalty. Because these lower-di
The negative relationship between birth interval length and neonatal mortality risks is well-documented, but the possibility of heterogeneity in this relationship has been largely ignored. Understanding variation in the strength of this relationship may be important for adjusting family planning programs strategies for issues regarding fertility regulation and maternal and child health, however, a
