Biomass gasification gas (BGG), a carbon-neutral renewable fuel and important hydrogen carrier, holds significant promise for sustainable energy systems. However, its practical implementation is challenged by combustion instability and elevated NOx emissions, primarily due to localized high-temperature zones induced by the hydrogen content. MILD (Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution) combustion
Education for sustainability is widely recognised as a critical pathway for driving the transformations needed to address today’s polycrisis. Despite growing theoretical and conceptual advancements in sustainability education, current approaches have not achieved the deep systemic changes required. While university networks and individual institutions increasingly integrate sustainability into the
Disinhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been observed in patients with loss-of-function variants in the disheveled, Egl-10, and pleckstrin domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5), and nitrogen permease regulator-like proteins 2 and 3 (NPRL2, and NPRL3) genes, which encode the components of GTPase activating protein Activity Toward Rags Complex 1 (GATOR1) complex. Evero
IntroductionWhile smoking has been consistently identified as a significant contributor to postoperative complications, the existing literature on its association with postoperative pulmonary complications remains conflicting.AimWe examined the association of preoperative smoking with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).MethodsPost hoc analysis of an observational study
BackgroundPreliminary results from the SNAP trial presented at ESCMID Global 2025 reported a high incidence (19.8%) of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients treated with (flu)cloxacillin for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB).ObjectiveIn Sweden, cloxacillin is used at lower daily doses, and the risk of nephrotoxicity has not been assessed in this setting.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated re
RATIONALE: Very preterm infants (i.e. born before 32 weeks of gestation) are at risk of cerebral injury and long-term neurodevelopmental impairment. Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) enables continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation to guide clinical management. Interest in NIRS has grown in recent years, highlighting the need for better evidence to support its clinical efficacy in im
Background Inversions involving intron 22 (Inv22) of the F8 gene are detected in approximately 45% of all severe hemophilia A (HA) patients. Digital droplet polymerase chain reaction using milepost assays and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) allows robust diagnosis of inversions, copy number variations, and more complex rearrangements in F8 . Objectives A total of 350 HA pat
Background: The Peritoneal Cancer Index recorded at laparotomy is based on visual and palpable inspection of peritoneal surfaces for disease. This study aimed to analyze interobserver variation in assigning the lesion score (LS) and morphologic term (MT) to characterize peritoneal lesions (PL) and predict the probability of malignancy (POM) among surgeons with expertise in cytoreductive surgery (C
Background The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine autoantibody positive individuals and define: (a) the relative risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with autoantibody negative individuals and (b) the cumulative incidence of RA over time, in different populations. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in August 2025. Retrospective case control studi
Breastfeeding confers a wide range of benefits to mothers and children, and in many contextsmay continue for several years after the birth of a child. As a result, breastfeeding duringpregnancy (BDP) is a common occurrence throughout low- and middle-income countries.Nevertheless, yet there has been little research into its association with the health of breastfedchildren or the outcomes of the pre
Background Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more non-communicable diseases (NCDs), is common and has been linked to venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether multimorbidity diagnosed in primary-care is associated with incident VTE remains unclear. We aimed to examine this association. Methods Multimorbidity was defined using Swedish primary-care data. Individuals without prior VTE were incl
To examine longitudinal trajectories of pain occurrence in children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 1 year to 17 years.A longitudinal register-based study was conducted using data from the Swedish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program (2007-2023). Individuals (n = 4887) with confirmed CP, a minimum of three pain assessments, and any Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels were included
There are over 1.1 million small- or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sweden. But even if they have a significant impact on both the country’s economy as well as creating a majority of all Swedish jobs, the current research within competence development has in large, overlooked SMEs. The purpose of this study is therefore to fill that gap by investigating current practices and facilitation of co
Helicobacter pylori is an important pathogen inhabiting the human stomach. H. pylori binds plasminogen, a 90 kDa glycoprotein secreted by liver cells, and utilizes it for enhancing virulence. Surface receptors on the bacteria recognize plasminogen that is then activated into plasmin by host factors. The active plasmin can degrade a range of host proteins including proteins of the extracellular mat
Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed.Objectives: To compare the sens
Background and purpose: The CardioSwitch-study demonstrated that patients with solid tumors who develop cardiotoxicity on capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment can be safely switched to S-1, an alternative fluoropyrimidine (FP). In light of the European Medicines Agency approval of S-1 in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), this analysis provides more detailed safety and efficacy inform
Purpose: This paper aims to explore Swedish municipalities’ adoption of politically decided goals and targets, within the budget document, that are formulated for the accounting unit of the municipal group. Design/methodology/approach: A regression analysis of the adoption of financial and non-financial performance measurement by 289 Swedish municipalities was performed, including eight independen
