AIMS: Previous studies show inconsistencies in vasovagal syncope (VVS) symptoms and haemodynamic responses across age and sex groups, with limited evaluation of tilt test results. This study comprehensively examines differences in triggers, prodromal and syncopal symptoms, and head-up tilt test (HUTT) responses among VVS patients by age and sex providing new insights.METHODS AND RESULTS: We analys
Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change
Background People with serious respiratory illness frequently have a high symptom burden and may be prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy with the aims of reducing the severity of breathlessness and improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy versus no oxygen on 1) breathlessness, 2) HRQoL and 3) ad
Advancements in treatments have significantly improved the prognosis for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and there is a growing population of survivors with an increased susceptibility to infections. We assessed the incidence of infections by clinical characteristics and treatment both before and after MCL diagnosis in Sweden. Patients with a diagnosis of MCL ≥ 18 years between 2007 and 2019 were incl
The production of dark matter in association with Higgs bosons is predicted in several extensions of the Standard Model. An exploration of such scenarios is presented, considering final states with missing transverse momentum and b-tagged jets consistent with a Higgs boson. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the L
Rationale: Benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioids can depress respiration, alter sleep, and potentially affect outcomes in individuals treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) for obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Objectives: To analyze the association of benzodiazepines, gabapentinoids, hypnotics, and opioid use with hospitalization-free survival and mortality after s
Background: Mistletoe extract is a widespread complementary therapy mainly used for quality-of-life improvement in cancer patients. Advanced pancreatic cancer is associated with poor quality of life and better therapies for symptomatic relief are highly needed. Aim: MISTRAL aimed to assess the impact of mistletoe extract on quality of life, body weight, observed costs and blood biomarkers in patie
Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr
Introduction: Cytostatic pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment, raising concerns due to their persistence and toxicity. Background: Conventional wastewater treatment processes do not effectively remove these compounds. Advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, are needed to degrade cytostatic pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment. However, these process
Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are widely used as an alternative to eating oily fish. However the polyunsaturated oils they contain are highly susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and possibly decreased quality of the supplement. Background: Despite the convenience of omega-3 supplementation, there is limited independent information on the oxidative quality of produ
The aim of the study was to investigate whether work-study conflict and study-work conflict predict perceived stress and well-being in full-time university students who work part-time, and whether perceived stress predicts well-being. The study was conducted with a quantitative cross-sectional design where data were collected through a web-based questionnaire where participants answered establishe
Objectives To assess the performance of the ALL IN TRIPLEX rapid antigen-based test for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus. We focus on the potential of the test to be used in acute clinical settings as a marker of infectiousness, by determining the sensitivity at different real-time PCR cycle threshold (Ct) levels, as well as the quantity of absorbed viral RNA n

OBJECTIVES: To investigate hip dysplasia as a risk factor for clinically relevant and incident radiographic hip OA.METHODS: From a prospective cohort (CHECK) of 1002 middle-aged, new consulters for hip and/or knee pain, 468 hips (251 individuals) were selected based on hip pain, available lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and absence of definite radiographic hip OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade
Many women are occupationally active during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between exposure to chemicals during pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. The cohort included singleton births in Sweden between 1994 and 2014. The cohort was limited to low-educated mothers to reduce potential confounding from unidentified life-style associated f
Background: Dissecting free tissue flaps can be challenging and time-consuming. Imaging technologies are typically used to assist with preoperative planning. However, conventional methods have limitations that could potentially be overcome by extended reality technologies. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current use of extended reality (XR) in preoperative planning for microsurgical f
Background: Portal vein embolization (PVE) may be used to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) before major hepatectomy. The influence of hyperbilirubinemia on FLR hypertrophy after PVE is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare FLR hypertrophy after PVE between patients with and without elevated P-bilirubin. Materials/methods: This is a Scandinavian retrospective cohor
Background: Tattoo inks are mixtures of organic and inorganic color pigments and having a tattoo may be adversely associated with biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective: To examine the association between tattoo exposure and biomarkers of male fecundity. Methods: Participants were young adult Danish males (aged 18–21 years) sampled from the Danish National Birth Cohort. Upon recruitment in 2017–2
