RATIONALE: Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common bacterial infections in children worldwide, and the most common reason for prescribing antibiotics. Although serious complications (e.g. mastoiditis or meningitis) are rare, the infection causes acute pain and can lead to hearing impairment. Since AOM often resolves spontaneously, current treatment guidelines recommend an approach of wa
INTRODUCTION: In Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while iden

En mångårig tradition håller på att gå förlorad. Varför räddas inte den lokala sillen? Etnologen Håkan Jönsson skriver om fisken som byggt vårt landskap.
Sustainable access to effective antibiotics is a main rationale for addressing antimicrobial resistance, for calls to enhance antibiotic supply security and for development support to promote health system capacity in low- and middle-income settings. Standard models for valuing pharmaceuticals fail to capture the full value of sustainable access to effective antibiotics. In effect, assessments of
Antibiotic persistence arises when a subset of cells in an otherwise susceptible bacterial population temporarily exhibits elevated tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics. While significant progress has been made in elucidating persister mechanisms, much of this research has focused on Gram-negative bacteria, and these findings are not always applicable to Gram-positive species. This study explores
BACKGROUND/AIM: Appendiceal adenocarcinomas are rare tumours with aggressive traits, most often diagnosed incidentally after routine appendectomy. Survival rates vary greatly between the different subgroups, and adenocarcinoma has the worst prognosis. Surgery is the only curative treatment, however, the long-term benefit of extended surgical resections over appendectomy has not been established. T
The characterisation of wood’s fracture behaviour is a challenging task due to its inherently complex microstructure and natural variability. Consequently, to accurately model wood for engineering applications, deterministic input parameters are rarely sufficient in, for example, finite element models; the stochastic nature of the material must be considered. In the present work, we aim to quantif
INTRODUCTION: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a complex disorder with challenging diagnosis and management.METHODS: This cross-sectional, multi-national, web-based physician chart audit described clinical features and management of POTS, offering insights into disease burden and outcomes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.RESULTS: Physicians (n = 153), primarily cardiologis
The rate of change in adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), in which a population of microorganisms is continuously cultivated under a specific selective pressure, is controlled by the cellular mutagenesis rate and the randomness of where in the genetic material mutations are introduced. The constant selection pressure makes it a crucial, yet slow, method in developing microorganisms with novel phe
BackgroundPatients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) who undergo primary and interval debulking surgery are often anemic at diagnosis, with iron deficiency being the most common cause. The aim was to investigate whether preoperative anemia and iron deficiency impact short-term recovery.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 262 patients with AOC who underwent surgery at Skane University
Background: Teaching quality is commonly assessed through classroom observation. However, observer ratings of teaching quality frequently exhibit limited psychometric quality. Beyond evaluating the ratings themselves, exploring the observation process and the design of the video environment may offer valuable insights into conditions that enhance rating accuracy. Aims: This study explored the clas
