Introduction: Umbilical cord blood measurement is the gold standard of evaluating neonatal metabolic status at birth. Dual sampling of cord blood vessels is clinical routine, yet the long-term value of venoarterial differences(ΔpH) is undetermined. The objective was to investigate the association of ΔpH, to long-term mortality and morbidity up to 20 years.Material and methods: This was a retrospecIntroductionUmbilical cord blood measurement is the gold standard of evaluating neonatal metabolic status at birth.

Hemophilia A and B are rare, X-linked bleeding disorders characterized by deficiencies in coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) and factor IX (FIX), respectively. Numerous advances have helped to reduce disease burden. However, hemophilia B is not as well studied as hemophilia A, likely reflecting its lower prevalence. Clinical management of hemophilia B has often relied on inference and extrapolation f

In this evaluation of the international legal standing of the right to reparation and its practical implementation at the national level, Christine Evans outlines State responsibility and examines the jurisprudence of the International Court of Justice, the Articles on State Responsibility of the International Law Commission and the convergence of norms in different branches of international law,

In the late Middle Ages, hundreds of Christians from all over Europe sent supplications to the Papal Curia to be freed from promises made under duress. This article analyses the supplications about forced marriages that were submitted to the Apostolic Penitentiary during the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–92). The study is based on mainly unedited source material that has not been investi

Timely, detailed information on forest composition is essential for effective management, biodiversity protection, and understanding ecosystem dynamics. This study maps the distribution of seven dominant tree species in Swedish forests and produces spatially explicit, pixel-level estimates of classification uncertainty. The mapping framework integrates multitemporal Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2

This article examines how the Muslim veil and call to prayer are constructed as social problems in motions to the Swedish parliament between 2010 and 2024. Analyzing 120 political proposals, the study reveals how these religious practices are portrayed as problematic by constructing them as threatening to Swedish values, particularly gender equality and secularism. Using Carol Lee Bacchi’s “What’s

Objective To investigate the relationship between active commuting and atherosclerosis in middle age using state-of-the-art coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Methods This cross-sectional study used data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) and included 23 722 randomly recruited individuals aged 50–64 years from six different regions in Sweden. The exposure was commuting mode, ass

Introduction/Background: Measurement of umbilical cord blood gasesat birth is the gold standard of capturing the metabolic state of the newborn. Dual sampling of umbilical cord vessels is mandatory, yet the longterm predictive value of venoarterial differences, ΔpH, remain undetermined. Previously, large ΔpH showed a protective effect against adverseneonatal outcomes.Objectives: To investigate the

Aerosols can influence vegetation through multiple processes, yet the resulting biophysical climate feedback from the vegetation response remains poorly understood. Here, using an ensemble of Earth system models and an observation-based empirical model, we show that the vegetation response to complete removal of anthropogenic aerosols can either cool or warm the local climate by up to 0.039 ± 0.02

The very concept of human rights implies governmental accountability. To ensure that governments are indeed held accountable for their treatment of citizens and others the United Nations has established a wide range of mechanisms to monitor compliance, and to seek to prevent as well as respond to violations.These essays critically examine the functions, procedures, and performance of each of the m

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face unique challenges in integrating advanced digital technologies due to limited resources and organizational constraints. While much attention has been given to large firms' adoption of big data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI), less is known about how SMEs can leverage these tools effectively. This study addresses the research que

Objectives This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of rechargeable (RC) and nonrechargeable, primary cell (PC) traditional and multimodal spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems in combination with conventional medical management (CMM) compared with CMM alone in patients with persistent spinal pain syndrome type 2 (PSPS-2) with low back/leg pain that remains despite surgery.
