We evaluated the association between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time during surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and mid-term survival. Data of 1122 patients who underwent surgery for ATAAD in eight Nordic centers from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. An adjusted logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the association of incremental 30
PURPOSE: Several studies have indicated that broad genomic characterization of childhood cancer provides diagnostically and/or therapeutically relevant information in selected high-risk cases. However, the extent to which such characterization offers clinically actionable data in a prospective broadly inclusive setting remains largely unexplored.METHODS: We implemented prospective whole-genome seq
Introduction – Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a chronic disease to vessels and nerves caused by vibrations. In Sweden, the medical check-up for vibrations (MCV) implements the EU surveillance system to detect early cases. No earlier research has shown participation in MCVs, nor why MCVs is avoided. We aimed to improve the understanding on avoidance of MCVs among vibration-exposed workers. M
Background Endoscopic papillectomy is a standard treatment for ampullary lesions, which are typically small and confined to the papillary mound. Laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) of the papilla of Vater are a rare ampullary lesion subtype involving extensive duodenal mucosa. Data on endoscopic papillectomy outcomes for LSLs are limited. This study compared endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary LS
Autonomy and independence are key features of legal decision-making. Yet, decision-making in court is fundamentally interactional and collective, both during the information gathering phase of hearings, and in evaluations during deliberations. Depending on legal system and type of court, deliberations can include different constellations of lay judges, jurors, or judge panels. In this article, we
Uronate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.12; URI) catalyzes uronate sugar interconversion, a key step in bacterial metabolism, yet its reaction mechanism remains poorly understood. This study delineates the detailed mechanism for the isomerization of d-glucuronate to d-fructuronate catalyzed by a Zn2+-dependent URI enzyme (from Bacillus halodurans). Using quantum mechanical (QM) cluster calculations, three mec
Landscape air temperature thresholds (TA) and percent misclassified precipitation (error) for 12 years of meteorological observations from 40 stations across the Scandinavian Peninsula were derived and compared using both manual and geographic information system (GIS) landscape classification methods. Dew-point, wet-bulb, and wet bulb 0.5 were also tested. Both classification methods used the foll
Biomass densification elevates the bulk density of the biomass, providing assistance in biomass handling, transportation, and storage. However, the density and the chemical/physical properties of the lignocellulosic biomass are affected. This study examined the changes introduced by a briquetting process with the aim of subsequent processing for 2nd generation bioethanol production. The hydration
The method presented in this paper is invented to address the problem of episodic memory in participants with highly restricted verbal abilities, 15-month-olds in this case. Here, we refer to episodic memory defined as a mind/brain system with three main responsibilities: to encode, to store and to recall individual memories. Episodic memory system requires three additional capacities, which make
Importance: Comprehensive and timely monitoring of disease burden in all age groups, including children and adolescents, is essential for improving population health.Objective: To quantify and describe levels and trends of mortality and nonfatal health outcomes among children and adolescents from 1990 to 2015 to provide a framework for policy discussion.Evidence Review: Cause-specific mortality an
PURPOSE: A straight thoracic stent graft often complies poorly with the curvature of the aortic arch. We have previously reported an in vitro model of a modified stent graft that can be bent in situ after deployment to improve conformance to the aortic arch. We now report the first clinical experience with this technique in three consecutive patients. METHODS: Between September 2007 and August 200
According to a recent conjecture in the literature, earnings have become a poorer proxy for cash flow from operations over time. We find that since 1988, when cash flow statements started to be consistently reported in Compustat, the cash effectiveness of earnings has actually increased for a large sample of US manufacturing firms. This occurs despite the introduction of fair value accounting and
Objective: Studies of the importance of perinatal factors for the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are sparse. We conducted a large national cohort study to examine perinatal and familial risk factors for IBS. Material and methods: A national cohort of 1,963,685 persons who were born in Sweden in 1973–1992 (identified from the Swedish Birth Registry) were followed up for adult (18 yea
Importance: Twin studies have assessed sibling resemblance for major depression (MD) but cannot address sources of resemblance across generations. Objective: To clarify the relative importance of genetic and rearing effects on the parent-offspring resemblance for MD. Design: This Swedish population register-based study examined parents and children from the following 5 family types: intact (2 041
We report a patient with a transient ischemic attack presumably caused by an entrapment of the internal carotid artery by the hyoid bone and without a significant carotid artery stenosis. The patient was operated on, with a release of the right internal and external carotid artery and resection of the right greater cornu of the hyoid bone. One year after treatment, the patient has not experienced
This study aims to scrutinise Serbia’s adaptation to the Copenhagen criteria between 2017 and 2024, by examining the country’s progress and challenges in its path toward EU membership. By using Andrew Moravcsik’s Liberal Intergovernmentalism as the theoretical framework, the research analyses how domestic political preferences, institutional dynamics and international bargaining have shaped Serbia
