After the clinical implementation of amyloid-β-targeting therapies for people with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is an urgent need to efficiently identify this patient population in primary care. Therefore, we created a brief and self-administered digital cognitive test battery (BioCog). Based on its sub-scores, a logistic regression model was developed in a secondary

INTRODUCTION: Inflammation is integral to wound healing; yet, its dynamics in normally healing epidermal wounds are not fully characterized. To this end, we analyzed longitudinal wound fluid samples collected from epidermal suction blister wounds in healthy volunteers.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 48 control wounds were induced by suction blister method in 24 healthy volunteers-1 on each thigh

Objectives:To determine the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) under three consecutive in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments in women with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis.Methods:A prospective cohort study of 1035 women aged 25–≤39 years undergoing up to three consecutive IVF treatments between January 2019 and April 2024. All women underwent an advanced transvaginal ultrasound examination prior

Ante el incremento continuo desde 2015 del número de personas desplazadas por la fuerza y el declive de las fuentes tradicionales de financiamiento público destinadas a la ayuda humanitaria, que ha culminado con el desmantelamiento de la Agencia de Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID), ha surgido la necesidad de buscar soluciones innovadoras para financiar las respuestas a los d

The emergence of antibiotic resistance necessitates effective strategies for evaluating antimicrobial agents. Bioluminescent bacteria, either naturally occurring or engineered with modified reporter genes like bacterial luciferase, provide real-time assessment of bacterial viability through light emission. We investigated the antibacterial effects of cefotaxime and doxycycline using bioluminescent

The roundtable brings together four authors, and a former journal editor, from the recent JCMS 20th Anniversary Symposium and forthcoming Cooperation and Conflict Anniversary Special Issue to discuss: What does the Arrival of planetary politics tell us about the European Union and normative power in the planetary organic crisis?Ian Manners provides a reflection and prospective intervention on the

Research on climate change obstruction has often focused on what has been called the Climate Change Countermovement, the CCCM. While the term originated from the social movements literature – acknowledging the movement-countermovement dynamics – it has in climate obstructionist research often been described as a relatively fixed entity connected to the vested interests of the fossil fuel industry

BACKGROUND: While patients with post-COVID syndrome (PCS) suffer from cognitive deficits few studies directly compare patients with PCS to subjects recovered after an infection with the 'Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)'.OBJECTIVES: To investigate cognitive performance adjusting for age, increasing body-mass-index (BMI), smoking, years of education, gender and hospitali

My research centres on a topic that will be familiar to many of you – namely the proliferation of paperwork and documentation demands that characterises work in many contemporary organisations. More specifically, I take as my point of departure a crux from the Swedish education sector, namely that there is a broad will – from actors at all levels of the schooling system – politicians, the Swedish

STUDY QUESTIONDoes endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, diagnosed using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group revised definitions, impact cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after three consecutive IVF or ICSI treatments?SUMMARY ANSWERWomen with endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, as diagnosed using transvaginal ultras

PurposeBlood culture collection with all bottles filled from a single venipuncture (single-sampling strategy, SSS) is increasingly used. More data on the effects of SSS on blood culture contamination is needed. After combined implementation of SSS and initial specimen diversion (ISDT) in our region, we evaluated the proportion of sampling events with at least four bottles, with growth of relevant

Individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) face an increased risk for severe COVID-19. This study from Sweden, a country that only had a few mandatory restrictions at the onset of the pandemic, used 10 nationwide registers to compare the risks for severe COVID-19 outcomes of polymerase chain reaction-verified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections through

Regional researchers have extensively debated contradictions of identity-based regionalism and politically initiated regionalisation. Works addressing the spatial imaginaries of state-led regional institutionalisation processes have since emerged. Sometimes neglected, however, is theoretical attention to what I suggest are acts of counter-institutionalisation: attempts to destabilise dominant regi

BACKGROUND: In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 no longer a public health emergency. Despite successful vaccination campaigns, vaccines provide limited protection against transmission. Since general testing has been abandoned in most countries, alternative population surveillance methods to assess SARS-CoV-2 exposure are needed.METHODS: N-antigen is a protein of the SARS-C

BACKGROUND: There is limited data regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccine uptake in people with HIV (PWH) compared to people without HIV (PWoH).METHODS: Swedish nationwide study of individuals born 1930-2003, assessing SARS-CoV-2 vaccine uptake of 1-5 doses by HIV-status from first SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (2020-12-27) until 2023-02-23. PWH were categorized by prioritization: clinically vulnerable (CD4+ T-cell

Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear

Background and purposeUncertainty and changeability often characterize the cases that come to the attention of social services and are also something that social workers to some degrees are trained to deal with. However, while the organizational complexity affecting the decision-making process is described to increase, scholars in organization studies argue that as pressures increase and resources
