Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight (LBW) is associated with younger age, less obesity and more hypertension among people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality risk. It is not known whether LBW is associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Methods: Original mid
The authors report a combination of multimodal scanning three-dimensional X-ray diffraction (S3DXRD), X-ray diffraction computed tomography (XRD-CT), and X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XRF-CT) used for the first time to provide multiscale (spanning the size regime 0.15–500 µm) insight into the aging of a CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution known to exhibit outstanding reversible oxygen storage capac
Understanding the dynamics of post-fire carbon recovery is critical for managing boreal forests under climate change. This study evaluates the LPJ-GUESS-BLAZE models’ performance in simulating vegetation structure, fire emissions, and post-fire carbon dynamics at the stand scale in a boreal forest in Sweden. Combining current climate and future scenarios (SSP1–2.6, SSP5–8.5), we investigated the i
Despite international commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, OECD countries exhibit substantial variation in subsidy levels. This study examines how governing party preferences and institutional context jointly shape subsidy policy across 28 OECD countries from 2010 to 2022. Integrating party manifesto data with fossil fuel subsidy levels in cabinet-year panels, the analysis reveals condi
The boreal forest covers approximately 12 million km² and contains one-third of the terrestrial vegetation carbon, making it a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The impact of forest harvesting (e.g. clear-cuts) and forest fires on forest carbon budgets under climate change is still not well understood. This study presents results from simulations with the process-based dynamic globalvege
Background & aims: Epidemiological evidence on ultra-processed food (UPF) and cause-specific mortality remains limited and mixed. Molecular mechanisms underlying UPF intake and mortality remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between UPF consumption, metabolic signatures, and all-cause, premature, and cause-specific mortality. Methods: This study included 27670 partic
Background: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is known for indicating adult brain injury, but the role of NfL in extremely preterm infants is less studied. This study examines the relationship between NfL and neurovascular morbidities in these infants. Methods: A secondary analysis of the Mega Donna Mega trial was conducted on preterm infants <28 weeks gestational age (GA). The study measured NfL le

BACKGROUND: There is a worldwide shift towards increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with concurrent rising prevalence of obesity. We examined the relationship between the consumption of UPF and weight gain and risk of obesity.METHODS: This prospective cohort included 348 748 men and women aged 25-70 years. Participants were recruited between 1992 and 2000 from 9 European countries
One aspect rarely addressed in rhetorical analyses of Pauline texts is that the emphasis on rhetorical features tends to exclude dialectical aspects such as the layout of arguments and their soundness. However, these are equally important aspects alongside the rhetorical ones when assessing argumentation from an overall perspective.I suggest that when analysing Paul's argumentation it is useful to
Background: Stroke is a common cause of mortality and disability worldwide and continuously updated, thorough information of itsoccurrence and outcome is needed. In recent years, multiple advances have been made in stroke prevention and treatment that mayhave changed the epidemiology and outcome of stroke.Aims: To investigate updated population-based stroke epidemiology as well as long-term surviv
A search for new phenomena is presented in final states with two leptons and one or no b-tagged jets. The event selection requires the two leptons to have opposite charge, the same flavor (electrons or muons), and a large invariant mass. The analysis is based on the full run-2 proton-proton collision dataset recorded at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, corres
Celiac disease is a chronic small bowel disease induced by ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals affecting 1% among Caucasians in the Western world. The prevalence of celiac disease is still unknown in most developing countries, especially in Africa which suffer from lack of resources to perform screening of the general population. The aim of this study was to determine the pr
Objectives: The augmented inflammatory response to cardiac surgery is a recognized cause of postoperative acute kidney injury. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative cyclosporine treatment on cytokine production and delineate factors associated with postoperative kidney impairment. Design: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center study. Setting: At
Introduction: Postoperative delirium is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Compromised regulation of the cerebral circulation may be a predisposing factor for delirium. However, the potential relationship between cerebrovascular reserve capacity and delirium is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate if impaired cerebrovascular reserve capacity
Objectives. The aim of this systematic review was to describe interventions which promote safe patient handling and movement (PHM) among workers in healthcare by reviewing the literature on their effectiveness for work and health-related outcomes. Methods. Databases were searched for studies published during 1997–2018. Measures were operationalized broadly, capturing outcomes of work and health. O
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are high-risk factors of diabetes development and may be caused by defective insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is mediated by voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels in which the gamma-4 subunit (CaVγ4) is required for the beta-cell to maintain its differentiated state. We here aim to explo
Sharing the findings of research projects to improve future practice is often an important objective of educational research. However disseminating the results to groups that will directly benefit can sometimes be problematic and there may also be complexities around presenting research in a context that gives real-world relevance. The informal environment of game play is one method that can be ut
