Purpose: This systematic literature review aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of effort as a multidimensional construct in individuals with impaired swallowing and/or spoken communication. Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across three data-bases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL, covering publications from 1966 to 2024. The search included terms related to commu

Importance: Developing disease-modifying treatments is a priority for Alzheimer disease research. Objective: To determine the potential of plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) and tau positron emission tomography (PET) to assess disease modification in treatment trials. Design, Setting, and Participants: This diagnostic/prognostic study used longitudinal data from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in

This article explores efforts to integrate human rights into Swedish education during the early post-war era (1948–1966). Focusing on how human rights were conceptualized and justified, the study addresses a significant gap in the historiography of human rights education by investigating its development prior to the 1970s.By examining materials from the National Board of Education, and the first tThis article explores efforts to integrate human rights into Swedish education during the early post-war era (1948–1966).

This Letter presents the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations of the net number (difference between the particle and antiparticle multiplicities) of multistrange hadrons Ξ- and Ξ¯+ and its correlation with the net-kaon number using the data collected by the ALICE Collaboration in pp, p-Pb, and Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. The statistical ha

First measurements of hadron-Λ (h-Λ) azimuthal angular correlations in p-Pb collisions at sNN =5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. These correlations are used to separate the production of associated Λ baryons into three different kinematic regions, namely those produced in the direction of the trigger particle (near side), those produced in the opposite d

This paper presents a method for online estimation of contact properties during in-hand sliding manipulation with a parallel gripper. We estimate the static and Coulomb friction as well as the contact radius from tactile measurements of contact forces and sliding velocities. The method is validated in both simulation and real-world experiments. Furthermore, we propose a heuristic to deal with fast

The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put to test, where a clear signal of quantum properties of gravity is still missing. The dawn of multi-messenger high-energy astrophysics has been tremendously beneficial, as it allows us to study particles with much higher

Lineage plasticity is recognized as a critical determinant of lethality and resistance to AR pathway inhibitors in prostate cancer. Lineage plasticity is a continuum, ranging from AR activity-low tumors, AR-null tumors that do not express a neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) program (i.e., double-negative prostate cancer [DNPC]), and AR-null NEPC tumors. Factors upregulated early in lineage pla

PHENIX presents a simultaneous measurement of the production of direct γ and π0 in d+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV over a pT range of 7.5 to 18 GeV/c for different event samples selected by event activity, i.e., charged-particle multiplicity detected at forward rapidity. Direct-photon yields are used to empirically estimate the contribution of hard-scattering processes in the different event sample

Background & aims: Alcohol consumption has been inversely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its influence on autoimmune diabetes is unclear. We investigated the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and T2D in relation to alcohol intake and assessed if potential associations were modified by genetic susceptibility to diabetes. Methods: We used data from a case–control st

Upper-limb complications (ULCs) in diabetes, affecting joints, tendons, muscles, con-nective tissue, nerves, and skin, are underrecognized but prevalent conditions in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Advances in diabetes care have extended life expectancy, leading to an aging population with diabetes with increased susceptibility to long-term complications beyond traditional vascular issues. Despite so

Low birth weight (LBW) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that 4 weeks of carbohydrate overfeeding (COF) with +25% energy would unmask key T2D perturbations among 22 nonobese LBW men, including five with screen-detected metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), compared with 21 healthy control participants with normal birth weight (NBW). Body weight

Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re
