Background. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCcrea ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C has been proposed as a biomarker. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to

In this paper, I examine ideas on creation, nature, and the ethical self as conceptual-ized by the Ikhwān al-Ṣafāʾ (Brethren of Purity, fl. ca. 350–369/961–980) and al-Rāghibal-Iṣfahānī (d. before 409/1018), with a particular focus on Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī(d. 505/1111). Drawing from the classical scholarship on kalā m, taṣawwuf, and falsafa,I analyze texts by these ethicists who wrote on nature an

BackgroundPatient education and dialogue are important when choosing a future treatment strategy for patients with chronic kidney disease. To support patients in their decision-making process, it is critical to provide information in a way that patients can understand. This study was conducted to understand how nephrologists view the goals of information sharing, the challenges involved, and the s

In this article we aim to highlight the potential of forgotten grave materials in our museum depositories for gaining insights into prehistoric life. By applying a multi-proxy approach to the skeletal remains of two graves of uncertain types from Falbygden in western Sweden, we were able to acquire new knowledge of burial practices, subsistence, health and mobility in Late Neolithic and Early BronIn this article we aim to highlight the potential of forgotten grave materials in our museum depositories for gaining insights into prehistoric life.

Assessment of third molar development on dental radiograms is one of the most commonly used methods of forensic age estimation. Despite widespread use and numerous studies, there is a paucity of aggregated data on how well a fully mature third molar identifies adulthood (> 18 years), the most important threshold in a medicolegal context. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conduct

AIMS: To evaluate the long-term clinical and economic outcomes associated with insulin detemir and neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin in combination with mealtime insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes in Sweden, based on data from a two-year, multi-national, open-label, randomized, controlled trial.METHODS: Insulin detemir was associated with significant improvements in glycaemic c

Electric road systems (ERSs) present a transformative advancement in transportation electrification, offering continuous charging capabilities for electric vehicles (EVs) during travel. This innovation has the potential to significantly mitigate range anxiety by enabling in-motion charging, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of electric mobility, and reducing the frequency of charging stops

De senaste åren har den digitaliserade ekonomin etablerats i Sverige. En del av utvecklingen är plattformsarbete eller gig-jobb, som innebär att korta uppdrag åt flera uppdragsgivare förmedlas via en digital delningsplattform eller app. Rättsreglerna är uppbyggda binärt, vilket förenklat innebär att det finns två möjliga system: det ena gäller för dem som är arbetstagare och det andra för dem som

Different types of information are combined during variation interpretation. Computational predictors, most often pathogenicity predictors, provide one type of information for this purpose. These tools are based on various kinds of algorithms. Although the American College of Genetics and the Association for Molecular Pathology guidelines classify variants into five categories, practically all pat

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between regional body composition and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in Chinese children.Methods: In this study, 1399 children aged 7–14 years were included. Liver steatosis was assessed using the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) measured through Fibroscan. MAFLD is defined as the presence of liver steatosis a

Background/Objectives: The surgeon’s subjective intraoperative evaluation is the standard of care to assess postoperative residual disease (RD) in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We investigated the feasibility of ctDNA as an objective marker for postoperative RD. Methods: This prospective study included 27 patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO IIIA1–IVB) who underwent primary surg
