Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common organ anomaly in humans affecting approximately 1:125 newborns worldwide. Early diagnosis enables postnatal stabilisation and may improve outcomes, especially in critical CHD, in which the circulation is dependent on patency of the arterial duct. Detection of CHD in newborns remains incomplete and current screening programs do not aim t
IntroductionUse of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for more than 15 h per day does not reduce mortality or hospitalizations, but may increase the risk of adverse events. We evaluated the relationship between daily oxygen use duration and adverse events, symptoms, and health status in patients on LTOT.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey study of a random sample (N = 650) of adults with ongoing

Antibiotics are used to treat both humans and animals for both preventive and therapeutic purposes. The overreliance on and misuse of antibiotics has given rise to a stealth pandemic, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Globally, they pose a significant threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Surveillance of antibiotic residues in the environment, especially in wastewater, for tack
This article compares India’s recently adopted child protection policy, Mission Vatsalya (2022), with its predecessor, the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (2009, 2014). The comparative analysis finds that many parts of Mission Vatsalya are ‘old wine in new bottles’, suggesting that adopting a new scheme was in large part a rebranding exercise. Some concerning changes, however, are visible: a di
BackgroundDietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine whether s

Episodic memories are not static - they shift and reshape as our surroundings evolve. One powerful mechanism for change are prediction errors, which arise when predictions about what is going to happen next do not match the actual input. This study investigated how the size of prediction errors - arising from predictions based on episodic memories - affects recognition memory and neural memory rep
Avhandlingen bidrar med kunskap inom fältet tidiga interventioner och tidigasamordnade insatser, i synnerhet inom skolsocialt arbete. I en systematisköversikt undersöks vilka studier som utförts av videofeedbackinterventioner(VF) mellan 1990 och 2014 och om de haft önskad effekt. I likhet med tidigareforskning visar den att VF kan påverka föräldrars och pedagogers samspel medbarn i positiv riktninThe dissertation concerns video feedback interventions (VF) aimed at interactions between parents, teachers and children, more specifically children who display disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in school.
