Background and purpose — Surveillance of scoliosis in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) is important for ensuring timely diagnosis and identification of curve progression. We analyzed the incidence of scoliosis in relation to age, sex, and gross motor function in a population-based cohort of individuals with CP. Patients and methods — This was a prospective register study of all 1,025 individua
A producer-independent, problem-oriented, group-education programme with 2-day meetings on drug treatment in primary health care (PHC) was developed and evaluated. Initially, it was tested on a selected group of general practitioners (district physicians), using a non-exposed group as control. A comprehensive questionnaire was used to test changes in attitudes. There was a significant change in at
Estimations show that approximately US $23 billion is required for Georgia to meet its climate and environmental targets up to 2030. As the current Nationally Determined Contribution reveals, considering 1990 as a base year, the Republic of Georgia plans a 35% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. If the country has financial and technical support, commitment to limit emissions may rise as
Water scarcity is one of the major challenges in semi-arid and arid areas. Drivers for water scarcity include climate change, population growth, economic, and agricultural development. This paper presents a framework for assessing water scarcity under the impact of climate, industry, and socio-economic changes in the Qazvin Plain, Iran. A system dynamics model is developed and calibrated using his
Herein, the grown-into-glass (GIG) CsPbBr3:Ln3+ (Ln = La, Lu) nanocrystals (NCs) are designed and fabricated using an in situ nanocrystallization method. It is shown that a substitution of Pb2+ sites with Ln3+ ions leads to a blueshift of emission position induced by an increase of the bandgap of CsPbBr3. Additionally, the GIG-samples are found to feature excellent photoluminescent (PL) properties
HIP 41378 d is a long-period planet that has only been observed to transit twice, three years apart, with K2. According to stability considerations and a partial detection of the Rossiter- McLaughlin effect, Pd = 278.36 d has been determined to be the most likely orbital period. We targeted HIP 41378 d with CHEOPS at the predicted transit timing based on Pd = 278.36 d, but the observations show no
The single amino acid mutation G26R in human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-IIOWA) leads to the formation of beta-secondary structure rich amyloid fibrils in vivo. Here we show that full-length apoA-IIOWA has a decreased lipid-binding capability, an increased amino-terminal sensitivity to protease, and a propensity to form annular protofibrils visible by electron microscopy. The molecular basis for the

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality and is a leading cause of heart failure and stroke. This large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies increased the power to detect single-nucleotide variant associations and found more than 350 AF-associated genetic loci. We identified candidate genes related to muscle contractility, cardiac muscle development an
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component. Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls. In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B. We further identifie
Neural simulation-based inference (NSBI) is a powerful class of machine-learning-based methods for statistical inference that naturally handles high-dimensional parameter estimation without the need to bin data into low-dimensional summary histograms. Such methods are promising for a range of measurements, including at the Large Hadron Collider, where no single observable may be optimal to scan ov
A set of measurements for the production of a W-boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets is presented using 140 fb-1 of proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are performed in final states in which the W-boson decays into an electron or muon plus a neutrino and is produced in association with j
Objective: Cushing's disease (CD) is associated with severely impaired quality of life and shortened life expectancy. Little is known about the socioeconomic consequences of CD and their impact on long-term outcome. Methods: This was a nationwide study including 371 patients with CD (76% women), diagnosed between 1991 and 2018, and 4 matched controls per patient from the background population. Cli
To broaden our understanding of bradyarrhythmias and conduction disease, we performed common variant genome-wide association analyses in up to 1.3 million individuals and rare variant burden testing in 460,000 individuals for sinus node dysfunction (SND), distal conduction disease (DCD) and pacemaker (PM) implantation. We identified 13, 31 and 21 common variant loci for SND, DCD and PM, respective
Aims. We aim to observe the transits and occultations of WASP-33 b, which orbits a rapidly rotating δ Scuti pulsator, with the goal of measuring the orbital obliquity via the gravity-darkening effect, and constraining the geometric albedo via the occultation depth. Methods. We observed four transits and four occultations with CHEOPS, and employ a variety of techniques to remove the effects of the
Introduction: Cranioplasty, a surgical procedure to restore skull integrity and aesthetic contour following decompressive craniectomy, poses challenges in material selection and timing, driven by the lack of guidelines and ongoing regulatory changes. Research question: This study aimed to provide an overview of current cranioplasty practices in Europe, explicitly addressing a potential shift towar
The rapid growth of smart logistics, driven by IoT devices and data-intensive applications, necessitates secure, scalable, and efficient computing frameworks. As the edge-fog-cloud (EFC) paradigm supports real-time data processing, it faces significant security threats and attacks, including privacy risks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. To address these security threats and attacks, block
