Aim: Limited evidence exists on the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure on metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in adolescents. We aimed to assess the effects of multiple chemicals on the hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and MASLD in adolescents, and to further explore the potential roles of inflammation and lifestyle factors. Methods: Associations between che
Virtual reality can be a useful research tool to investigate how people behave in different fire situations. For the results from such experiments to have good validity, i.e., to represent behaviours that can occur in a real environment, the VR environment must be perceived as a good substitute for the real environment. The project focuses on how to achieve such high-quality VR environments. Two d
Objectives: Vibration exposure is a known risk factor for developing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and insufficient outcomes for surgery for CTS have been reported after such exposure. We aim to investigate whether vibration exposure affects patient-reported outcomes following open carpal tunnel release. Methods: From a population surgically treated for CTS (n = 962), we identified patients who re
Several yeast species, usually engineered by humans in order to produce compounds of biotechnological interests, are currently used as cellular factories. This thesis presents two main themes. In the first, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used for bio-ethanol production from lignocellulose hydrolysates and in the second Pichia pastoris is used for the heterologous expression of human ameloblastin.

This paper analyzes the use of populist rhetoric by armed groups as a means to portray themselves as a political actor, focusing on Viv Ansanm-spokesperson Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier’s anti-elite discourse in 2023 and 2024 through a qualitative content analysis. This is achieved through building on existing literature discussing limits of Haitian statehood as well as the historical role of non-sta
This thesis examines transatlantic recusity relations in the context of Russias war in Ukraine. The study examines how the European Union and the United States have responded to Russian aggression in Ukraine, focusing on two phases of the conflict: the Russian annexation of Crimea 2014 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022. The study asks if the EU and US have been unified in their approaches a

In Krisis, and in many of the preparatory papers for his last published work, Edmund Husserl repeatedly declares his allegiance to the Enlightenment, but, at the same time, always expresses his misgivings about its concrete purport. Like Horkheimer and Adorno, but for somewhat different reasons, he thus succumbs to what Ferrone has termed the philosopher’s conception of the Enlightenment, as opposIn Krisis, and in many of the preparatory papers for his last published work, Edmund Husserl repeatedly declares his allegiance to the Enlightenment, but, at the same time, always expresses his misgivings about its concrete purport.

BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a common complication to atrial fibrillation (AF), leading to rehospitalization and death. Early identification of patients with AF at risk for HF might improve outcomes. We aimed to derive a score to predict 1-year risk of new-onset HF after an emergency department (ED) visit with AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: The RE-LY AF (Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagu
Exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia (PE). Some suggested mechanisms behind this association are changes in placental DNA methylation and gene expression. The objective of this study was to identify how early pregnancy exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx) among PE cases and normotensive controls influence DNA methylation
Introduction: Treatment optimization in haemophilia A can be achieved by choice of FVIII product and knowledge of pharmacokinetics (PK), phenotype and adherence. A favourable PK profile of BAY 81–8973 (octocog alfa) (Kovaltry, Bayer AB) compared to other standard half-life (SHL) FVIII products has been suggested. Aim: To evaluate whether the switch to BAY 81–8973, using the same dosing schedule, i
V/P SPECT from 4 consecutive patients with COVID-19 suggests that ventilation and perfusion images may be applied to diagnose or exclude pulmonary embolism, verify nonsegmental diversion of perfusion from the ventilated areas (dead space ventilation) that may represent inflammation of the pulmonary vasculature, detect the reversed mismatch of poor ventilation and better preserved perfusion (shunt
Background: Radiation Therapy (RT) is a common treatment after breast cancer surgery and a complex process using high energy X-rays to eradicate cancer cells, important in reducing the risk of local recurrence. The high-tech environment and unfamiliar nature of RT can affect the patient’s experience of the treatment. Misconceptions or lack of knowledge about RT processes can increase levels of anx
PURPOSE: Reliable molecular diagnostic tools are still unavailable for making informed treatment decisions and monitoring the response in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer. We evaluated the significance of whole blood circulating androgen receptor transcripts of full length (AR-FL) and splice variants (AR-V1, AR-V3 and AR-V7) as biomarkers of abiraterone acetate treatment resistan
IntroductionNine in ten of the world’s 1.74 million adolescents living with human immunodeficiency virus (ALHIV) live in Sub-Saharan Africa. Suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and poor viral suppression are important problems among adolescents. To guide intervention efforts in this regard, this review presented pooled estimates on the prevalence of adherence and how it is affecte
When the politically active Ukrainian community in Edmonton, Alberta, gathered in late November 2019 for their annual commemorations of the massive famine that ravished the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1932–33, their rituals followed established patterns. The politically well-connected Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) held its choreographed gatherings in the
People with neurological disorders suffer from poor mobility, poor balance, fatigue, isolation and monotonous everyday activities. Studies show that equine-assisted interventions can improve their mobility and balance, but could these kinds of interventions also increase participants’ activity repertoire and self-assessed health, and reduce their fatigue? The study was conducted as a prospective,
Background: An understudied variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the behavioral/dysexecutive variant of AD (bvAD), is associated with progressive personality, behavior, and/or executive dysfunction and frontal atrophy. Objective: This study characterizes the neuropsychological and neuroanatomical features associated with bvAD by comparing it to behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), a
Background: A consistent imaging biomarker to standardize the evaluation of change in bone scan is an unmet need for patients (pts) with bone metastasis. BSI is quantitative interpretation of bone scan in pts with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). Here we have performed analytical and clinical studies to evaluate the change in computer automated BSI as a consistent imaging biomarker in pts with m
