Objective: Psychiatric comorbidity frequently presents in anorexia nervosa (AN). Yet, the premorbid mental health status is rel-atively unknown. The aim of this study was to map out psychiatric morbidity and psychopathology among girls at familial highrisk (FHR) of developing AN, thereby detecting possible underlying vulnerabilities preceding the disease.Method: Twenty-eight daughters of mothers w
Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) can be intensified by delivering 6 (6fx/w) instead of 5 (5fx/w) fractions per week. Randomized trials have demonstrated superiority for 6fx/w in patients treated without concurrent chemotherapy (CRT). This real-world analysis compares 6 vs 5 fx/w in LA-HNSCC all-comers, treated predominan
Introduction: Out-of-pocket (OOP) healthcare costs remain prohibitive in low-resource settings, often pushing families into poverty. Universal health coverage (UHC) goals emphasise protecting households from financial hardship due to medical expenses. Objectives: This study examines which socioeconomic and demographic factors predict the amount of free mental healthcare support received by applica
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
Frits Gåvertsson skriver om moralfilosofins relation till idéer om det goda livet och skiftet från frågan 'hur bör jag leva?' till 'vad bör jag göra i en given situation?'.
Hydroxyl radicals (HO•), produced through reactions between H2O2 and iron oxides, drive biogeochemical transformations, mediate organism toxicity, and facilitate advanced oxidation processes. The effectiveness of these processes depends on the spatial proximity between HO• generation and target substrates. Consequently, the oxidation mechanisms should be governed by interfacial interactions among
Motivated by the well established idea that collective wisdom is greater than that of an individual, we propose a novel learning dynamics as a sort of companion to the Abelson model of opinion dynamics. Agents are assumed to make independent guesses about the true state of the world after which they engage in opinion exchange leading to consensus. We investigate the problem of finding the optimal
The brain has a tremendous capacity to adapt (i.e., plasticity) to environmental changes or injury. This capacity decreases with age but is never lost. The goal of sensory relearning is to improve hand function by using the dynamic capacity of the brain with the use of guided plasticity (i.e., plasticity used for a therapeutic purpose). After a peripheral nerve injury, no nerve signals are sent fr
Carefully selecting the source data is crucial to achieve high performance of transfer learning methods for brain–computer interfaces (BCIs). Especially so in settings where a large amount of source data is available, and finding the optimal source is not computationally feasible. This paper presents a novel method for source selection, the so-called Transfer Performance Predictor (TPP) method. Th
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of argon laser therapy for nonresolving central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in a Saudi patient population. Patients and methods This is a prospective case series study of 20 eyes (20 patients) having nonresolving CSCR. In all of them, no signs of spontaneous improvement were noticed in 3 months. The assessment of the patients, including history
Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are considered risk factors for complications following total hip arthroplasty (THA). How these risk factors separately or in combination influence the risk of reoperation due to periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) or all-cause reoperation is not fully known. We sought to investigate the 2-year risk of reoperation following THA due to osteoarthritis
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of implementing routine emergency computed tomography (eCT) for all patients presenting with suspected acute renal colic at the emergency department (ED). Material and methods We did a retrospective observational study of all patients who underwent eCT for suspected acute renal colic at the ED in Helsingborg between May 9, 2023 and May
Occupations that are highly cognitive, non-physical, and low in social interaction - typically higher-skill white-collar roles such as data analysts, software developers, and translators - turn out to be highly AI-exposed • Occupations requiring manual dexterity or intensive interpersonal contact - such as construction labourers or nursing aides - remain among the least exposed to current AI techn
The sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case. The problem has been addressed by means of asymptotic approximations embedding the number of summands in a stochastically increasing sequence. Another approach relies on fitting flexible and tractable parametric, multivariate distributionThe sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case.

In recognition of outstanding articles published in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A, Editors’ and Readers’ Choice Awards are conferred annually to the top papers in the categories Original Research Paper and Review/Review-History Article. The recipients of the 2026 Editors’ Choice Awards were selected based on votes cast by the Editorial Board on articles published in 2025. In the category
Introduction Systemic inflammation is postulated to mediate heat stroke and heat-related organ injury, yet acute inflammatory responses among heat-stressed workers remains poorly understood. We aimed to describe neutrophil mobilisation and potential release of DNA during heat stress in multiple hot occupational settings and a controlled experimental setting. Methods Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NL
Thermal energy storage is likely to be integral to a sustainable, secure and affordable energy system facing ever greater challenges in matching supply and demand. Techno-economic studies have explored the potential for thermal storage deployment, but transitions in the energy system are also influenced by the activities and decisions of an array of actors. We gathered new empirical evidence from
