Railway traffic is growing, resulting in a highly interconnected train network. Due to the interdependence between trains’ activities, a better understanding of train passes and their effects can ensure dispatching decisions made have minimum risk of delays. The impacts of train pass on dwell time delays were investigated using historical Swedish railway operation data. Three scenarios were consid
The hospital morbidity and mortality of 100 patients operated with two internal thoracic arteries with or without additional vein grafts (BITA group) were compared with a matched group of 100 patients operated with one left internal thoracic artery (ITA) on the anterior descending artery with additional vein grafts (LITA control group). In each study group, 3% of the patients had diabetes mellitus
In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) provides great potential to experimentally investigate effects of peers on student learning in class and to strategically deploy virtual peer learners to improve learning. The present study examined how three social-related classroom configurations (i.e., students' position in the classroom, visualization style of virtual avatars, and virtual classmates' performance
Fire behaviour is changing in many regions worldwide. However, nonlinear interactions between fire weather, fuel, land use, management and ignitions have impeded formal attribution of global burned area changes. Here, we demonstrate that climate change increasingly explains regional burned area patterns, using an ensemble of global fire models. The simulations show that climate change increased gl
Anorexia nervosa is a chronic, progressive illness that is difficult to treat. Four years after diagnosis, less than 50% of patients have recovered, and 25% of anorexic patients progress to chronicity and invalidism. Because anorexia nervosa typically begins in adolescence, teenagers should be watched closely for signs that may reflect an eating disorder. In the early stages of the disease, though
The development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and atypical antidepressants has changed the treatment of depression significantly. Newer antidepressants lack many of the side effects associated with the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (isocarboxazid, for example) and the tricyclic antidepressants, thereby increasing patient compliance. They are also less dangerous in overdose and are ofte
We report the first large-scale retrospective cohort study on adolescent and young adult (AYA) polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) in Japan, a subgroup analysis using Japanese multicenter registry data (JSH-MPN-R18). This study included patients with PV (n = 31) or ET (n = 141) aged 20 to 39 years at the initial visit. Hemorrhage-free survival (HFS) was better in AYA ET than
We have previously performed empirical valence bond calculations of the kinetic activation barriers, Δ G‡calc, for the deprotonation of complexes between TIM and the whole substrate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP, Kulkarni et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017 , 139 , 10514 - 10525 ). We now extend this work to also study the deprotonation of the substrate pieces glycolaldehyde (GA) and GA·HPi [HPi = pho
