Background: Although up to 25% of proximal humeral fractures are isolated greater tuberosity fractures (IGTFs), comprehensive epidemiological data are lacking. Objectives: Describe the epidemiology and time trends of IGTF in Malmö, Sweden, 1944–2020. Methods: We identified IGTF in Malmö residents (≥18 years) by reviewing relevant radiology examinations during 17 sample years from 1944 to 2020. Fra
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the United States with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently both biomarkers and therapies for CO poisoning are limited and require new approaches. Methods: Rats (~ 300 g) were divided into four grou
BACKGROUND: Some per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) such as perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are very long-lived in humans, with serum half-lives of several years. In PFAS hot spots, such as Ronneby, Sweden, high exposures over time have led to markedly elevated serum PFAS levels, which may result in health risks
Objective: An elevated sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio in urine increases the risk of hypertension. Tooth loss in older adults can lead to a diminished nutritional state, including alterations in the Na/K ratio. However, the relationship between denture use and changes in the Na/K ratio among individuals with tooth loss has not been sufficiently explored. This study examined whether denture use m
Water resources are under increasing pressure from population growth, climate change, and intensified human activity. Effective water management requires a clear understanding of both surface and subsurface hydrological systems, yet traditional monitoring methods often fall short in spatial and temporal coverage. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), a satellite-based remote sensing te
Increasing the amount of renewable generation in distribution networks is a fundamental part of the energy transition. Multiple methods exist to increase the hosting capacity in a grid, to allow larger injections of generation and more efficiently utilize existing infrastructure before operational limits are breached. In this thesis, the method studied for this is network reconfiguration. Many dis
Introduction: Access to healthcare is a critical determinant of health and central to Swedish public health policy. Sweden, like many other countries has seen a rise in precarious employment and there has been substantial research into the negative health effects associated with it. In accordance with vertical equality in health care, people exposed to precarious employment should consequently hav
This letter presents a search for narrow, high-mass resonances in the Zγ final state with the Z boson decaying into a pair of electrons or muons. The s=13 TeV pp collision data were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and have an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. The data are found to be in agreement with the Standard Model background expectation. Upper limits are set
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance via the olfactory pathway is well-documented in animal models. However, results from in vivo human studies appear inconsistent. Studies using intrathecal (IT) Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) enhanced MRI showed minimal tracer pass-through from intracranial to extracranial olfactory regions such as the nasal mucosa. Conversely, human imaging s
BACKGROUND: Reliable biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are urgently needed due to diagnostic and prognostic challenges. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize recent evidence on the utility of blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for ALS.METHODS: We systematically reviewed studies published from January 1, 2019 to March 25, 2025, that evaluated bloo
A NNW-trending mafic dyke from the central-western Bastar craton yields a U[sbnd]Pb ID-TIMS baddeleyite age of 1944 ± 6 Ma. By correlating additional dykes with similar trend and geochemical characteristics, we identify a previously unrecognized dyke swarm, named herein the Pakhanjore swarm. Geochemical evidence suggests that the studied rocks are derived from partial melting of a spinel-rich, sha
The intensity dependence of picosecond kinetics in the light-harvesting antenna of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum is studied at 77 K. By changing either the average excitation intensity or the pulse intensity we have been able to discriminate singlet-singlet and singlet- triplet annihilation. It is shown that the kinetics of both annihilation types are well characterized by the
This study examines the determinants of environmentally responsible behavior among tourists in the heritage villages of Paveh County, Iran, through an integrated theoretical framework that synthesizes place-related psychological constructs with the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Employing structural equation modeling on data collected from 443 tourists across three heritage villages (July–Novem
I denna studie undersöks en vanlig fråga i utvecklingsländer - att informella arbetsrelationer kvarstår när den småskaliga gruvsektorn (ASM) ställs under statlig kontroll. Detta undersöks genom en studie av formaliseringsreformer i Rwandas 3Ts-sektor (tenn, tantal, volfram) för småskalig gruvdrift, som intensifierades från 2010. Forskningen syftar till att förklara den roll som arbetskraft, som båThis study explores a common issue in developing countries – the persistence of informal labour relations when the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector is brought under state control. It investigates this through a study of formalisation reforms in Rwanda’s 3Ts (tin, tantalum, tungsten) small-scale mining sector, which intensified from 2010. The research aims to explain the role that labo
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition (BRIEF2) across self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms in a gender- and age-balanced community sample of Swedish youth. We examined factor structure, internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, measurement invariance, and age- and gender-related diffe
Background: Rare disease clinical trials are notorious for complexities that frequently result in study-start delays. However, there is limited knowledge about how participants and researchers perceive these delays and what factors shape their experiences. A clinical trial in the rare, progressive disorder Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration—the PKAN trial—encountered an unexpected de
Background and objective: Prostate cancer (PC) is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of death among males. In this systematic review we evaluated cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the relationship between dietary patterns and PC risk, progression, mortality, and biomarkers. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central was conducted th
This paper describes a measurement of the jet radius dependence of the dijet momentum balance between leading back-to-back jets in Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2018 and Formula Presented of Formula Presented collisions collected in 2017 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Both datasets were collected at Formula Presented TeV. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-Fo
For over a century, screen narratives set in Greenland have used crime to re-flect and rework tensions between law, society, and place. This article examines a broad selection of films and television series set or shot in Greenland to trace how crime is used to negotiate questions of justice, identity, and power. Through a place-based approach informed by location studies, it shows how spatial rep
