Studies have indicated that transportation noise is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality, whereas evidence of noise as a risk factor for respiratory and cancer mortality is scarce and inconclusive. Also, knowledge on effects of low-level noise on mortality is very limited. We aimed to investigate associations between road and railway noise and natural-cause and cause-specific mortality
INTRODUCTION: The Five Self-Harm Behavior Groupings Measure (5S-HM) is a novel assessment that evaluates behaviours which may go undetected by existing measures. Self-harm is formulated across directness and lethality spectra, including under-studied behaviors such as indirect self-harm, harmful self-neglect and sexual self-harm. Aims of the study were to: (1) empirically evaluate the 5S-HM; (2) t
Purpose: To investigate incidence and location of locoregional recurrence (LRR) in patients who have received postoperative locoregional radiation therapy (LRRT) for primary breast cancer. LRR-position in relation to applied radiotherapy and the primary tumor biological subtype were analyzed with the aim of evaluating current target guidelines and radiation therapy techniques in relation to tumor
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare and highly aggressive thyroid malignancy, usually resistant to conventional therapeutic strategies. The prognosis of ATC is extremely poor with a median survival rate of 6 months. Current treatment therapy includes surgical resection in combination with external radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The underlying mechanisms involved in ATC tumorigenesis is under
The sharing economy is an emerging niche for innovation capable of disrupting established socio-technical and economic regimes. Because of this potential to cause radical changes in a wide array of domains, research in multiple disciplines addressing various aspects entailing this phenomenon is proliferating. In this emerging body of literature, the understanding and framing of the sharing economy
Syftet med rapporten har varit att identifiera de hinder och styrkor som finns i dialoger mellan Malmö stad och fastighetsägare i Sofielund, samt dra lärdomar som skulle kunna användas för att stödja liknande processer. Det empiriska materialet kommer från tio intervjuer samt deltagande observationer i Sofielund.
Background: The differential diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Lewy body disorders, which include Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, is often challenging due to the overlapping symptoms. Purpose: To develop a diagnostic tool based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to distinguish between PSP and Lewy body disorders at the individual-subject level. Materials and Met
Trots att nordisk rätt i stor utsträckning präglas av en funktionalistiskt inställning så skiljer sig uppfattningen om hur frågeställningar inom den dynamiska sakrätten ska lösas länderna emellan. I artikeln åskådliggörs hur det svenska förhållningssättet präglas av lagstadgade regler, medan det i Danmark finns en mjukare och tämligen pragmatiskt attityd med utrymme för mer nyanserade lösningar. F
This is the Dutch contribution to the book Implementing Key BEPS Actions: Where Do We Stand? Discussed are amongst others measures against hybrid mismatch arrangements, CFC rules, interest deductions, countering harmful tax practices, transfer pricing and the MLI.
Bone is a complex hierarchical structure mainly comprising of a matrix of collagen and hydroxyapatite. The main physiological functions of bone include regulating skeletal remodeling, calcium homeostasis and providing a congenial environment to the bone marrow cells to reside and these physiological processes are intricately regulated by various cell types and biomolecules. During trauma to the sk
A “clean-label” gluten-free bread (GFB) was developed by replacing the commonly used hydrocolloid additive, methylcellulose, with an aqueous flaxseed slurry (FSS), known for its structure-forming properties, at 3 or 4.5 % levels into GFB formulations; for further nutritional improvement of GFB, the inclusion of 5 or 10 % roasted-sprouted lentil flour (SLF) was also investigated. FSS and SLF additi
Background Fidanacogene elaparvovec, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene-therapy vector for hemophilia B containing a high-activity human factor IX variant (FIX-R338L/FIX-Padua), was associated with sustained factor IX activity in a phase 1-2a study. Methods We conducted a phase 3 open-label study of fidanacogene elaparvovec at a dose of 5×1011 vector genome copies per kilogram of body weight. Me
OBJECTIVES: The efficacy of long-term opioid therapy (LTOT) in treating patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CnCP) is questionable, and the potential risks of adverse effects are well established. The aims were as follows: (1) compare characteristics in patients exposed to LTOT vs non-exposed. (2) Regarding opioid-exposed patients, describe characteristics of patients with risk factors for opioi
Background: Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype, accounting for less than 5% of primary cutaneous invasive melanomas. DM often arises in chronically sun-exposed skin, in older individuals. While the incidence of cutaneous melanoma has increased globally, trends specific to DM are less documented and studies on survival outcomes for DM are inconsistent. Objectives: To study patient and tum
Objective: The number of type-II endometrial cancer patients has been increasing and the prognosis is not favorable. We aim to investigate whether sarcopenia index in any of several different muscles could serve as a novel biomarker of prognosis in patients with type-II endometrial cancer. Methods: We retrospectively investigated a total of 194 patients at four hospitals. Ninety patients were trea
Objectives Accumulating evidence suggested that the laminin Î 32 (LAMC2) expression level was upregulated in various cancers. However, the potential prognostic value of LAMC2 in cancers remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the association of LAMC2 expression with prognosis. Design We searched Embase, Web of Science and PubMed (up to 25 November 2021) to collect all eligible stu
