OBJECTIVE: To study intra-aneurysm sac pressure and subsequent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter changes in patients without endoleaks that remain unchanged in AAA diameter more than 1 year after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS: A total of 23 patients underwent direct intra-aneurysm sac pressure (DISP) measurements 16 months (IQR: 14-35 months) after EVAR. Tip-pressure sensors

Popular Abstract in Swedish Västeuropeiska stater har blivit alltmer mångkulturella. Migrationsflöden från fattigare delar av välden har bidragit till att länder som tidigare uppfattade sig själva som homogena, uppvisar en allt högre grad av kulturella, etniska och religiösa olikheter. Förespråkare för mångkulturalism har argumenterat att ett sätt att hantera gruppers olikheter är att tolerera derWestern European states are faced by societies with increasing ethnic, cultural and religious diversity as a result of migration flows. Advocates of multiculturalism have tried to address these potential challenges by advocating the accommodation of minorities within the recipient society. This study argues that the normative and practical measures suggested by multiculturalists tend to be de-cont

Antigens of the clinically important ABO and P1PK blood group systems are carbohydrate structures. Thus the underlying genes do not encode antigens directly but glycosyltransferases that add specific sugar molecules to selected precursor chains. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptional regulation of ABO and A4GALT, with an emphasis on interindividual differences. The up-and dow

INTRODUCTION: Since the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise in caesarean sections (CS) throughout the world. This increase has been seen even in Europe, where rates vary significantly from 17% in Northern Europe to 56% in the South. Although, CS can be a lifesaving intervention when medically necessary, non-essential CS are associated with short- and long-term complications for both t

microRNAs are small RNA molecules that can repress the expression of protein-coding genes post-transcriptionally. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs can also have alternative functions, including influencing target expression variation and covariation, but these observations have been limited to a few microRNAs. Here we systematically study microRNA alternative functions in mouse embryonic

Spermine, a pivotal player in biomolecular condensation and diverse cellular processes, has emerged as a focus of investigation in aging, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. Despite its significance, the mechanistic details of spermine remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe the distinct modulation by spermine on Alzheimer’s Tau and Parkinson’s α-synuclein, elucidating their condensat

ISSUES: Although alcohol consumption is linked to atrial fibrillation (AF), the relationship across different intake levels and between sexes remains unclear. This study presents the first network meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies bringing greater precision to these associations.APPROACH: A systematic review identified five meta-analyses on alcohol and AF risk. From these, 13 cohort stud

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading global health challenge, affecting nearly 5% of the population. Mounting evidence suggests that systemic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLGCI) plays a central role in the development and progression of MDD. This persistent inflammatory state results from unresolved immune activation and sustained exposure to modern lifestyle factors, such as sedentary

One of the structuring logics behind the creation of news beats is the geographical one: that is, national, foreign and local news desks. Foreign and local beats, in particular, have a lot in common: the coverage of different geographical contexts increases the diversity and plurality of views; reporting from geographical peripheries is always the costliest in terms of production; the audience is

33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akrylfibrer, SAN-plast (Styren-AkrylNitril) och ABS-plast (Akrylnitril-Butadien-Styren) är tre viktiga polymerer som tex används för textilier (akrylfibrer) och optiska instrument (SAN). ABS-plast har hög motståndskraft mot kemikalier samt är slagtålig och används tex i bilar. Gemensamt för dessa tre polymerer är att akrylnitril används som monomer. Akrylnitril tillverkPropane ammoxidation catalysts of differing Sb/V ratio and consisting of differing amounts of the V2O5, alpha-Sb2O4, and Sb0.92V0.92O4 phases were prepared. In the first paper, the structure of Sb0.92V0.92O4 was determined by thermogravimetry, X-ray microanalysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and neutron powder diffraction. Sb0.92V0.92O4 was found to have a defective rutile structure involving catio

By means of a sensitive myograph and alpha-receptor subtype selective agonists and antagonists the postjunctional alpha-adrenoceptors were characterized in small omental and groin arteries and veins and in long saphenous veins obtained from 52 "healthy" adults during surgery. These vessels were found to have a mixed population of contraction mediating postjunctional alpha-receptors with a predomin
