Objectives To establish the prevalence of clinically significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and relevant characteristics in individuals with a significant smoking history who are hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Hospital inpatients at 8 European centres (7 in Sweden, 1 in the UK). Participants 518 men or women (302 in Sweden

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is probably the most painful intestinal disease affecting infants born preterm. NEC is known to cause highly severe and prolonged pain that has been associated with adverse short- and long-term effects. However, research on pain management in infants with NEC is scarce. This is likely due to its low incidence and very acute occurrence. As a result, the optimal pain

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a leading cause of mortality among individuals with epilepsy, particularly those with drug-resistant forms. This review explores the complex multisystem mechanisms underpinning SUDEP, integrating recent findings on brain, cardiac, and pulmonary dysfunctions. Background/Objectives: The main objective of this review is to elucidate how seizures disrupt

The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which men in psychiatric care have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse during the life course and the association between this experience and being a perpetrator oneself. The aim was also to identify who exposed them to abuse and whether there was an association between the category of abuser and being a perpetrator oneself. A cross

BACKGROUND: Plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease could improve prognostic assessment for people with Down syndrome in both clinical practice and research settings. We aimed to identify the plasma biomarkers that most accurately predict longitudinal changes in Alzheimer's disease-related pathology and cognitive functioning in individuals with Down syndrome.METHODS: This longitudina

BACKGROUND: Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, exhibits resistance to conventional therapies, particularly in advanced and metastatic stages. Mitochondrial pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial translation, have emerged as critical drivers of melanoma progression and therapy resistance. This study investigates the mitochondrial proteome in melanoma to uncover no

The advisory issued by Japan’s embassy in Laos shows grass-roots activism against transnational exploitation can force institutional action

INTRODUCTION: Apathy and affective neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet their neurobiological cause is still unclear. We examined associations between plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) and tau pathology (p-tau181) with apathy and affective symptoms in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD dementia. METHODS: This longitudinal study analyzed data from

Background: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is a common yet challenging condition with limited effective treatments. Elastic compression stockings (ECS) have been proposed as a potential therapy, but their real-world effectiveness remains unclear. Objectives: This study sought to compare the effectiveness of lower extremity compression with thigh-high ECS vs sham stockings for the prevention of VVS recurr

Small area childhood stunting risk estimations remain a critical tool for shaping the surveillance policies of such a public health concern. With classical statistical methods, stunting risk metrics are mainly reported at a national level, which inhibits fine-scale insights at a more localized level. To this end, we implemented a novel multilevel small area estimation (SAE) approach for effectivel

A fundamental challenge in control theory is designing protocols that achieve synchronization in interconnected systems. This paper addresses positive synchronization on undirected graphs for homogeneous discrete-time positive systems. It introduces a static feedback protocol derived from the Linear Regulator problem, where the stabilizing policy is determined by solving an algebraic equation usin

This study explores how the emergence of unmanned stores impacts the sense of community in rural areas. It is set against the backdrop of increased urbanization, which threatens the survival of smaller rural communities. We study this through ethnographic inquiry into the emergence of unmanned stores. These have been introduced to counteract the depopulation of rural areas. We identify four ways i

Purpose: The study explores how organizational space and situational strength influence bystanders’ intentions to intervene in workplace bullying within the healthcare sector. Design/methodology/approach: The research employs vignette-based interviews with 24 healthcare professionals from various medical fields in Sweden. The vignettes depict different bullying scenarios occurring in various spati

Heat stress events will be more frequent and intense in the future. These events will challenge the capacity of organisms to exhibit sufficient metabolic flexibility to adapt to such variations. To better understand the acclimation processes implemented in response to acute warming, with an integrative approach we examined in vivo metabolic rate and cardiac mitochondrial respiration in the Rhône s
