Angiosarcoma is a rare complication of breast cancer treatment. In order to define predictors, clinical presentation, and outcome, we characterized a population-based 50-year cohort of angiosarcomas after breast cancer. Clinical data were collected from all females with previous breast cancer who developed angiosarcomas/lymphangiosarcomas on the thoracic wall/upper extremity between 1958 and 2008

Having performed analytical validation studies, we are now assessing the clinical utility of the upgraded automated Bone Scan Index (BSI) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In the present study, we retrospectively evaluated the discriminatory strength of the automated BSI in predicting overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients being treated with enzalutamide.

Objective: Mitochondria are involved in cellular metabolism, energy production, calcium homeostasis, and the synthesis of sterols and bile acids (BAs). Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dynamics including biogenesis, fusion, fission, and mitophagy critically influence cardiometabolic diseases, yet their role in atherogenesis remain poorly understood. Mitochondrial fusion ensures metabo

In this work, we investigate the cryogenic performance of hafnia-based ferroelectric capacitors with and without an aluminum oxide (ALO) interlayer, comparing conventional metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) structures to metal-ferroelectric-insulator-metal (MFIM) counterparts. Devices employing Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 as the ferroelectric layer were characterized from 300 K down to 10 K, targeting temperature r

Background and Aims. While the rationale for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination is to reduce complications and overall mortality, some cardiovascular complications from the vaccine itself have been demonstrated. Myocarditis and pericarditis are recognized as rare acute adverse events after mRNA vaccines in young males, while evidence regarding other cardiovascular events remains limit

Purpose: To examine the association between uncomplicated urinary tract infections and subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) diagnosis in women. Materials and methods: We included 1,840,044 women without previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) or redeemed antidiabetic drugs. Results and conclusions: During the 12-year study period, women with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (cystitis and pyel

Modeling of real-world fuels and fuel mixtures in combustion engines, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), calls for the development of compact and computationally efficient chemical kinetic mechanisms. To improve the modeling capabilities of multicomponent fuels it is necessary to transition from the single-component descriptions of fuels and move toward more complex, accurate multicomponent

Introduction: Doxorubicin (DOX), a potent anthracycline, is widely used in cancer therapy, but its effect is limited by doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Increasing evidence suggests that DIC is associated with ferroptosis, a cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. Although aerobic exercise is recommended for chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction,

Denna uppsats analyserar Europeiska kommissionens förslag till en förord-ning om tvångslicenser i krissituationer. (COM(2023) 224) ur ett rättsligt och rättspolitiskt perspektiv. Förslaget syftar till att införa ett unionsomfattande system för tvångslicenser avsett att säkerställa tillgången till krisrelevanta pro-dukter, särskilt läkemedel, i situationer där nationella åtgärder bedöms vara otillrThis thesis examines the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on compulsory licensing in crisis situations (COM(2023) 224) from a legal and legal-policy perspective. The proposal seeks to introduce a Union-wide sys-tem for compulsory licensing intended to ensure access to crisis-relevant products, particularly medicinal products, in situations where national measures are considered insu

In March of 2025, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court decided to request a preliminary ruling in a case regarding repayment of Swedish withholding tax on dividends. The non-resident company claimed that they were not obligated to calculate their results according to Swedish rules, whereas the Swedish tax authority claimed that not doing so would make it impossible to determine whether the non

A spectrally and polarization-resolved wavefront detector can measure the spatio-temporal vector electric field of ultrashort laser pulses in a single shot.

The expansion of the electric vehicle industry is driving increased demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which in turn creates challenges in material availability and waste management that more durable LIBs could address. Electrode surface coating helps extend LIB lifespan, with atomic layered deposition (ALD) as the preferred method due to its precise thickness control and ability to coat var

The dispersion-scan technique (d-scan) is a well-established technique for the measurement of ultrashort laser pulses. While a single-shot version of d-scan is relatively easy to implement for sub-10 fs laser pulses, this becomes increasingly difficult as the pulse duration increases due to the need for a larger dispersion range, which scales quadratically with the Fourier transform limit (FTL). H

Insulin resistance (IR) contributes to atherogenic dyslipidemia and elevated ASCVD risk. Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1)-associated lipoproteins have diverse anti-atherogenic functions, but it is unclear whether IR drives adverse changes in their proteomic composition. We hypothesized that IR is associated with an atherogenic ApoA1 proteome and that insulin-sensitizing interventions would improve its co

Photonic topological insulators and self-induced nonreciprocity based on nonlinear effects in asymmetric structures have garnered increased attention due to their potential applications in quantum information technologies and advanced photonic integrated circuits. In this study, we combine these two fields and present asymmetric photonic crystal designs based on all-dielectric checkerboard structu

Denna uppsats analyserar förhållandet mellan enskilda och allmänna intressen enligt plan- och bygglagen, samt hur detta förhåller sig till Regeringsformen och Europakonventionen, samt om det finns skäl för ett starkare skydd för enskildas intressen. Enligt svensk rätt har kommuner planmonopol och i vissa fall detaljplanekrav för användningen av mark- och vattenområden inom kommunens geografiska omThis essay analyses the balance between private and public interest in matters relating to the Planning and building act of 2010 according to which there has to be a fair balance of interests. This essay also analyses how the previous relates to the European convention and the Instrument of Government and if there is a need for a stronger protection of private interests. According to the Planning

Objective Delivery of a small for gestational age (SGA) infant is a common pregnancy complication among women with SLE. Although disease activity and autoantibodies such as anti-Smith and anti-ribonucleoprotein associate with SGA, underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear and reliable predictors are lacking. To address this, we applied a proteomic approach to identify proteins associated w

IntroductionSport-related concussion (SRC) is a pressing issue in Para sport, yet biomechanical mechanisms remain poorly understood. Athletes with visual impairment face elevated risks due to sport-specific demands, such as frequent collisions in blind football. This pilot study examined head acceleration responses in blind football players compared with non-disabled football players, and between

Introduction: It is well known that urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is associated with preterm birth, but information about the risk of preterm birth depending on gestational week of infection is sparingly described in the literature. Material and Methods: An observational study based on data from Swedish registers including women giving birth 2014–2020 (n = 684 595). Pregnant women

Objective: To describe longitudinal changes of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features in the medial vs lateral tibiofemoral (TF) and patellofemoral (PF) compartments, in knees with no radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) at baseline. Design: In 340 individuals from the Osteoarthritis Initiative aged 45–55 years (51% women) with 430 knees at risk for OA and 250 not at risk, we assessed MRI scans of
