Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor (TNFi) initiation on the use of antimicrobials among biologic-naïve patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Information on all biologic-naïve patients with RA was extracted from ICEBIO, a nationwide registry. Each patient was matched on age, sex, and calendar time to five randomly se

Multiple trade-offs likely occur between pesticide use, pollinators and yield (via crop flowers) in pollinator-dependent, mass-flowering crops (MFCs), causing potential conflict between conservation and agronomic goals. To date, no studies have looked at both outcomes within the same system, meaning win-win solutions for pollinators and yield can only be inferred. Here, we outline a new framework

Introduction: Distal radius fractures (DRF) are associated with increased risk of subsequent fractures and physical decline in older adults. This study aims to evaluate the risk cognitive decline following DRF and potential for timely screening and intervention. Methods: A cohort of 1046 individuals 50–75 years of age with DRF were identified between 1995 and 2015 (81.5% female; mean age 62.5 [± 7

As ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (UM-MIMO) has emerged as a key technology for millimeter-wave and terahertz communications, the spherical wave propagation should be considered for channel modeling. Therefore, it is critical to identify the locations and evolving behaviors of scatterers, i.e., the sources of the spherical wavefronts. In this contribution, a novel space-alternating g

In this paper, a novel three-dimensional (3D) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) millimeter wave (mmWave) geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) is proposed for sixth-generation (6G) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels. In the proposed GBSM, clusters in the environment are divided into static clusters and dynamic clusters. Furthermore, the time-variant acceleration together with the integ

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this multicentric registry was to assess the outcomes of "anteRior versus posteRior divisional bRanches Of the hYpogastric artery as distAl landing zone for iLiac branch devices (R3OYAL)."METHODS: The main exposure of interest for the purpose of this study was the internal iliac artery (IIA) divisional branch (anterior vs posterior) that was used as distal landing zone. Early

Belysningsområdet befinner sig i inledningen av ett omfattande teknikskifte. Ett teknikskifte som bland annat påverkar de synergonomiskaförhållandena i arbetet. Den nya LED-tekniken gör det möjligt att utformabelysningsanläggningar som minskar energibehov och kostnader, samtidigt som bättre och trivsammare arbetsmiljö som främjar hälsa ochvälbefinnande kan skapas. Men ny teknik innebär också nya u

Nuclear medicine uses radioactive pharmaceuticals for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The ionizing radiation emitted from the radiopharmaceutical is partially absorbed within the patient's body and internal dosimetry is the method to estimate the absorbed dose to a tumour or risk organ. This is of special importance in radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), where particle-emitting radionuclides ar

Plastic extension of Étude IV pour guitare by Heitor Villa-Lobos.

Objective: Ambient particle matter is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little is known about associations between particles in occupational settings and risk of CVD. We investigated associations between occupational dust exposure and biomarkers of CVD, and potential recovery effects after vacation. Methods: Personal dust exposure measurements (respirable silica, respirable

The first section of the bone marrow workshop of the European Association of Haematopathology 2020 Virtual Meeting was dedicated to pediatric myeloid neoplasms. The section covered the whole spectrum of myeloid neoplasms, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN), and acute myeloid leukemia. The workshop ca

Background: Timely recognition and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia may improve quality of life, reduce caregiver burden, and delay disease progression. However, management of NPS in early AD dementia remains challenging. To date, little is known about the specific challenges for memory clinic-based physicians. The aims of this qualitative study wer

The Colombian peace agreement officially ended one of the world’s longest internal armed conflicts. But the transformation of land use that takes place in the wake of the peace agreement, has made the historic inequalities of access to land more visible and revealed inherent and violent struggles over resources that persist across the country. In this briefing we analyse the current status of peac
