Background: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and whole-transcriptome sequencing (WTS), with the ability to provide comprehensive genomic information, have become the focal point of research interest as novel techniques that can support precision diagnostics in routine clinical care of patients with various cancer types, including hematological malignancies. This national multi-center study, led by Ge

Language experience, particularly from our native language (L1), shapes our perception of other languages around us. The present study examined how L1 experience moulds the initial processing of foreign (L2) tone during acquisition. In particular, we investigated whether learners were able to rapidly forge new neural memory traces for novel tonal words, which was tracked by recording learners’ ERP

Objectives: Many countries have an aging population, and it is thus likely that Parkinson's disease (PD) will become an increasing health problem. It is important to ensure this group can use their resources in the best way possible, including remaining in the work market. This study aimed to investigate workforce participation and daily activities among patients with PD receiving device-aided the

Background: Although reproductive history is recognised to affect the risk of breast cancer, current breast cancer screening guidelines do not consider risk differences by this important factor. As there is a need for an earlier screening in women at increased risk of breast cancer, we provided evidence-based risk-adapted starting age of screening based on different reproductive profiles. Material

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder. Currently, the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) is the only self-report measure that fully captures this symptom heterogeneity in children and adolescents. The psychometric properties of the OCI-CV are promising but evaluations in large clinical samples are few. Further, no studies have exa

To meet future challenges in urban development with denser housing and sustainable water resources, society needs to take actions. Densification of housing is met by expanding housing into old industrial areas often contaminated and water resources are already affected in some areas by over exploiting, pollutants spreading and a changing climate leading to changes in recharge.Growing concerns are

Primary prevention of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires intervention in genetically at-risk infants. The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes (GPPAD) has established a screening program, GPPAD-02, that identifies infants with a genetic high risk of T1D, enrolls these into primary prevention trials, and follows the children for beta-cell autoantibodies and diabetes. Genetic testin

Boken skall– dels ge en introduktion till den unika rättsordning inom folkrätten, som Nordatlantiska fördragsorganisationen – Nato – och dess verksamhet grundar sig på och som benämns Natorätt,– dels förklara hur Sverige påverkas av den som part i nordatlantiska fördraget (SÖ 2024:1).

Background: Patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) are at risk of having CIED infection, pocket infection or endocarditis. To avoid treatment failures, guidelines recommend that the CIED should be extracted in all cases of SAB butrecent studies indicate low extraction rates and low risk of relapse. The aim of the study was to describe

Background/Aim: Anterior resection is the gold standard surgery for high and middle rectal tumors. In cases where anterior resection is not feasible, the surgeon resorts to a non-restorative approach such as Hartmann’s procedure or abdominoperineal resection. It is not well studied how Hartmann’s procedure impacts quality of life. This cross-sectional cohort study compares the long-term quality of

Aim The aim was to assess the use of multi-frequency vibrometry (MFV) in detecting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in type 1 diabetes in comparison to nerve conduction studies (NCS) and neurothesiometer (NT). Our objectives were to examine how VPTs correlated with NCS parameters, evaluate the efficacy of MFV in distinguishing DPN as well as to investigate whether MFV procedure could be based

Visions, or revelations, played an enormously important role in late medieval society. So much so that the question what constituted an authentic vision was debated at the highest ecclesiastical levels. Furthermore, the majority of visionaries in this period were women, and visions afforded them with unique opportunities to exercise their abilities in contexts otherwise almost exclusively reservedVisions, or revelations, played an enormously important role in late medieval society.

Submerged membrane modules either in flat or hollow fibre configuration have established themselves as a standard module for membrane bioreactors (MBRs) in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. In recent years two new concepts using submerged membrane modules have been developed for (1) direct membrane filtration (DMF) for municipal wastewater treatment and for (2) storm and rain harvesti
