Traffic models are a useful tool for evacuation planning and management in case of wildfires. Despite the availability of several evacuation models, the number of datasets that can be used for their calibration and validation is limited. This paper presents key traffic flow data collected during the 2019 Kincade Fire. The data (69 116 data points from 24 locations) have been sourced from the Perfo

Obesity is reaching levels never seen before in the world population, causing a rise in the incidence of metabolic disorders. The increase of visceral storage of adipose tissue is related to chronic inflammation and deregulation of the metabolism, causing insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and endothelial dysfunction. These pathologies, when they appear together, are known as metabolic syndrome and

RNA based processes are in the limelight due to the current technological advances from the fields of high throughput sequencing, structural probing and super-high resolution imaging. RNA biology is implicated in wide range of processes including embryonal development, maintenance of tissue homeostasis or tumor development and progression. We now gain insights at the unprecedented level on how RNA

MLL-rearrangements (MLL-r) are recurrent genetic events in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and frequently associate with poor prognosis. In infants, MLL-r can be sufficient to drive transformation. However, despite the prenatal origin of MLL-r in these patients, congenital leukemia is very rare with transformation usually occurring postnatally. The influence of prenatal signals on leukemogenesis, suc

BACKGROUND: In contrast with macroorganisms, that show well-documented biogeographical patterns in distribution associated with local adaptation of physiology, behavior and life history, strong biogeographical patterns have not been found for microorganisms, raising questions about what determines their biogeography. Thus far, large-scale biogeographical studies have focused on free-living microbe

Objectives: Invasive treatment of infrainguinal intermittent claudication is controversial, and long-term outcomes are scarce. The study aim was to evaluate 8 years results regarding new vascular interventions on index and contralateral limb, hospitalization, mortality, and amputation in 775 patients revascularized for infrainguinal intermittent claudication in 2009. Methods: Data on new vascular

Chronic coronary syndrome is a clinical diagnosis based on medical history and risk factors. To confirm diagnosis, an anatomical or functional assessment is recommended. Selection of diagnostic test is guided by clinical likelihood, patient characteristics, local expertise and availability. If the likelihood is low to intermediate, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended; if

The morphological and biochemical studies of the hippocampal CA1 area in ApoE-deficient mice under the conditionsof dietary intake (8 weeks) with low (LF) and high (HF) fat content were performed. Methods of immunohistochemistry, light and electron microscopy, immunoassay and morphometric as well as statistical analyses were used. It was revealed that the morpho-functional state of the nerve cells

A young man presented unconscious with severe hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, hypomagnesaemia and metabolic alkalosis. After 4 months of treatment in hospital, the hypomagnesaemia persisted. The patient had no signs of diabetes mellitus, and radiology showed no abnormalities of the kidneys, pancreas or genitourinary tract. A parenteral magnesium load demonstrated renal wasting with increased fraction

Animals interpret their environment by combining information from multiple senses. The relative usefulness of different senses may vary between species, habitats and sexes; yet, how multimodal stimuli are integrated and prioritized is unknown for most taxa. We experimentally assessed foraging preferences of great tits (Parus major) to test whether urban and forest individuals prioritize visual and

This chapter explores how women and families from different minority ethnic backgrounds are treated within the Swedish welfare state by focusing on a space in which the Swedish welfare state meets migrant families in very powerful ways: the delivery room. It begins with a short overview of the Swedish health care system and the Swedish immigration regime, with a particular focus on the changes tha

BACKGROUND: Patients with diabetes have increased rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). We hypothesized that this is explained by diabetes-associated differences in coronary plaque morphology and lipid content. METHODS: In PROSPECT II (Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree), 898 patients with acute myocardial infarction with or without ST-segme

Background Although physiology-based assessment of coronary artery stenosis using instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) are established methods of guiding coronary revascularization, its clinical outcome in long-term deferral needs further evaluation, especially with acute coronary syndrome as a clinical presentation. The aim was to evaluate the long-term clinical o

OBJECTIVES: To explore nurses' experiences of a tailored intervention that supported them with knowledge and tools to use during encounters and dialogue with parents with low vaccine acceptance. DESIGN: A qualitative study with in-depth interviews conducted in 2017. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. SETTING: This study was part of a multicomponent intervention targeting Somali parents an

Ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) is a clinically important event, where an isolated in-breast recurrence is a potentially curable event but associated with an increased risk of distant metastasis and breast cancer death. It remains unclear if IBTRs are associated with molecular changes that can be explored as a resource for precision medicine strategies. Here, we employed proteogenomics

Neutrons are widely used as probes of matter to study materials in a broad range of fields from physics, chemistry and medicine to material sciences. Any application utilizing neutrons needs to employ a well-understood and optimized neutron-detector system. This thesis is centered on fundamental aspects of neutron-detector development, including the establishment of the Source Testing Facility at

Context. The current architecture of a given multi-planetary system is a key fingerprint of its past formation and dynamical evolution history. Long-term follow-up observations are key to complete their picture. Aims. In this paper, we focus on the confirmation and characterization of the components of the TOI-969 planetary system, where TESS detected a Neptune-size planet candidate in a very clos

Background: Chronological age is a key clinical determinant ofaortic stiffness. Self-perceived age (SPA) is a strong predictor ofwell-being and long-term health. We aimed to investigate theassociation between SPA, chronological age, and aortic stiffness(vascular ageing) in the general population.Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of a population-based study,Malmö Offspring Study (n=3563). Mean age
