The European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airways diseases (EUFOREA) organized its bi-annual forum EUFOREUM in Berlin in November 2023. The aim of EUFOREUM 2023 was to highlight pediatric action plans for prevention and optimizing care for type 2 inflammatory conditions starting in childhood, with a focus on early-stage diagnosis, ensuring neither under- nor overdiagnosis, optim
International consensus supports the development of standardized protocols for measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) to facilitate the integration of mGFR testing in both clinical and research settings. To this end, the European Kidney Function Consortium convened an international group of experts with relevant experience in mGFR. The working group performed an extensive literature search to

Background People living with serious respiratory illness experience a high burden of distressing symptoms. Although opioids are prescribed for symptom management, they generate adverse events, and their benefits are unclear. Methods We examined the efficacy and safety of opioids for symptom management in people with serious respiratory illness. Embase, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of

Over the years, Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) has been recognized as a crucial element in the toolkit of measures to combat climate change. At the European Union (EU) level, CCS plays a vital role in climate policy, particularly in reducing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industries. However, no comprehensive legal framework covers all stages of CCS. These stages include carbon capture t
Background: A juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm is defined as a short (less than 4mm) or no-neck aneurysm, which is often treated with open or complex endovascular repair. The evidence to support the best treatment strategy is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and mid-term outcomes of elective open surgical repair or fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair for juxtarenal a
To extend the output DC power range of energy harvester from μW to mW, the 29.5 GHz rectifier using vertical nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor (VNW-TFET) is presented in this paper. Advantaged by the low threshold voltage, very steep characteristics, and its ability to operate below 60mV/decade, VNW-TFET is a promising device in rectifier design for low power applications. By analyzing the r
Spectrum imaging with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) has become ubiquitous in material characterization using electron microscopy. Multivariate statistical methods, commonly principal component analysis (PCA), are often used to aid analysis of the resulting multidimensional datasets; PCA can provide denoising prior to further analysis or grouping of pixels into distinct phases with sim
Objective: Interactive patient education, referred to as Heart School (HS), is an important part of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after myocardial infarction (MI), which has been associated with improved outcomes. Little is known about HS attendance among foreign-born patients. The aims were to assess; 1) HS attendance in foreign-born versus native-born patients, 2) the association between the provi
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to clarify the components of the familial liability to alcohol use disorder (AUD) by examining parent-offspring transmission in a large Swedish population sample. METHODS: To this end, 1,244,516 offspring in intact families with a mean age at follow-up of 37.7 years (SD=6.8) were examined. Hazard ratios for offspring of parents with AUD were calculated using Cox model
Objective: In this study, we propose a novel framework that utilizes deep learning and attention mechanisms to predict the radiographic progression of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) over a period of seven years. Design: This study included subjects (1832 subjects, 3276 knees) from the baseline of the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST). Patellofemoral joint regions-of interest were ident
The ATLAS detector is installed in its experimental cavern at Point 1 of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. During Run 2 of the LHC, a luminosity of ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1 was routinely achieved at the start of fills, twice the design luminosity. For Run 3, accelerator improvements, notably luminosity levelling, allow sustained running at an instantaneous luminosity of ℒ = 2 × 1034 cm-2 s-1, with an a
Dynamic restructuring of silver catalysts during the industrial conversion of methanol to formaldehyde leads to surface faceting and pinhole formation. Subsequent sintering under reaction conditions, followed by increased pressure drop and decreased catalyst activity requires catalyst bed replacement after several months of operation. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the bulk cat
Aerosol science is of utmost importance for both climate and public health research, and in recent years X-ray techniques have proven effective tools for aerosol-particle characterization. To date, such methods have often involved the study of particles collected onto a substrate, but a high photon flux may cause radiation damage to such deposited particles and volatile components can potentially
Background: Ambient particulate matter is a leading risk factor for disease globally. Particulate matter 10 (PM10) and particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) are derived from different sources, including operating motor vehicles as well as from industrial activities. In this study we investigate the association between increased concentrations of PM and total daily visits to the psychiatric emergency unit
In the years 1945–52, that is, between Raoul Wallenberg's incarceration in the Lubianka prison in Moscow (6 February 1945) and the first Swedish demand for his return (11 February 1952), more than fifty people provided the Swedish Foreign Ministry with diffuse and often contradictory information about his whereabouts. This article argues that a number of these testimonies may have been part of a S
