BackgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by persistent airway inflammation and airflow limitation. Measuring airway inflammation may be of value both in research and clinical practice. Calprotectin, a protein associated with neutrophil activation, serves as a potential biomarker for airway inflammation. This study evaluates the performance o
This editorial introduces Volume 33 (2025) of Current Swedish Archaeology, foregrounding archaeology as a socially embedded and politically implicated practice. The issue centers on contemporary challenges posed by rising anti-democratic and authoritarian forces and explores how archaeology and cultural heritage can contribute to sustainable, just, and resilient societies. The keynote by Marte Spa
Background Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are often admitted to monitored wards due to the risk of complications. Several risk prediction scores exist, but their use in the emergency department (ED) is limited. We aimed to compare the ability of existing risk scores with a new logistic regression model in predicting complications in ACS patients. Methods This was a secondary analysis
INTRODUCTION: Child stunting, a measure of malnutrition, is a major global health challenge affecting 148.1 million children in 2022. Global stunting rates have declined from 47.2% in 1985 to 22.3% in 2022; however, trends before the mid-1980s are unclear, including whether child stunting was previously prevalent in current high-income countries (HICs). We conducted a systematic review of child gr
Hypothalamic inflammation underlies diet-induced obesity and diabetes in rodent models. While diet normalization largely allows for recovery from metabolic impairment, it remains unknown whether long-term hypothalamic inflammation induced by obesogenic diets is a reversible process. In this study, we aimed at determining sex specificity of hypothalamic neuroinflammation and gliosis in mice fed a f
PURPOSE:Among available tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF-inhibitors) only etanercept is approved for treatment of children with polyarticular course juvenile arthritis. Nevertheless also infliximab and adalimumab are used in selected cases, especially in patients having failed on etanercept.The objective was to evaluate adherence to therapy (a combined measure of efficacy and side effects as
We propose a simple approach to treatment effect estimation in panel data that is valid when the number of time periods is small and the parallel trends condition is violated due to the presence of interactive fixed effects. The procedure allows the covariates to be affected by treatment and enables separation of the part of the estimated treatment effect that is due to the covariates from the par
Researchers use area of interest (AOI) analyses to interpret eye-tracking data. This article addresses four key aspects of AOI use: 1) how to report AOIs to support replicable analyses, 2) how to interpret AOI-related statistics, 3) methods for generating both static and dynamic AOIs, and 4) recent developments and future directions in AOI use. The article underscores the importance of aligning AO
Inflammation and infection remain unmet challenges in wounds of various etiologies, delaying healing, impacting quality of life, and increasing healthcare costs. The thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide TCP-25 has demonstrated dual anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities in animal wound infection models, thereby promoting healing, highlighting its therapeutic potential as a wound treatment.
