The forest floor acts as a source of terpenoid emissions to the atmosphere. These emissions can further impact atmospheric particle formation and impact the atmospheric radiation balance. Climate change escalates wildfire frequency in boreal forests. Wildfires are major disturbances with long-term ecosystem impacts, particularly on the forest floor, significantly influencing terpenoid sources and

Background/Objectives: Fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is a standard practice for managing early stage cervical cancer, yet significant variation exists in clinical approaches worldwide. Our objective was to ascertain current practices and preferences for cerclage use among expert centers globally regarding FSS in patients with early stage cervical cancer. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional s

Objective: Several surgical approaches are being used in the reconstruction of long-gap esophageal atresia. We investigated which methods are being used in the Nordic countries and the postoperative complications that occurred in the first year of life. Methods: This study is a retrospective multicenter study, where medical records on children with esophageal atresia Gross type C or D born in the

A quantum description is given of nanoskyrmions in two-dimensional textures with localized spins and itinerant electrons, isolated or coupled to leads, in or out of equilibrium. The spin-electron exchange is treated at the mean-field level, while tensor networks and exact diagonalization or nonequilibrium Green's functions are used for localized spins and itinerant electrons. We motivate our schem

The efficacy of cancer immunotherapy relies on the recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T cell responses against solid tumors by type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s). However, the generation of cDC1s for cancer immunotherapy faces significant limitations, including poor cell yield, functional heterogeneity, and susceptibility to immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME). We r

• Purpose: Controversy exists regarding the comparative efficacy of collagenase injection and percutaneous needle fasciotomy in the treatment of Dupuytren contracture. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have compared the two treatment methods have reported results mostly implying similar treatment efficacy, durability, and complications. We aimed to review these RCTs regarding methodical

After World War II, the ethno-demographic structure of many cities in eastern and central Europe was fundamentally changed as a result of genocides, ethnic cleansing, deportations and migrations. The cultural diversity that had been characteristic of many of those cities was radically reduced, as new inhabitants tried to find their place in the cityscapes. In focus of this thesis is thememory work

Flux equations describing brain D-glucose uptake are presented for up to four tissue compartments: blood, endothelial intracellular space in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), extravascular-extracellular space (EES), and intracellular space. Transport rates are described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics, including half-saturation constants ( K T ) and maximum rates for transport ( T max )

Restoring cultivated peatlands has become a silver bullet in climate change mitigation policies globally due to peatlands’ potentials to sequester carbon. In Denmark, carbon is the focal point for such interventions but simultaneously conspicuous by its absence in local restoration efforts. Scientific abstractions render carbon visible through maps and models presenting soil’s carbon content, emisRestoring cultivated peatlands has become a silver bullet in climate change mitigation policies globally due to peatlands’ potentials to sequester carbon.

OBJECTIVE: Infective native aneurysms of the femoropopliteal arteries (INA-FPs) are rare and mostly reported in intravenous drug users (IVDU). This study aimed to summarize all cases of INA-FPs presented in the literature, to describe patient characteristics, microbiology, treatments and outcomes, and compare IVDU with non-IVDU patients.METHODS: A systematic search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase

Introduction Data are lacking about the risk for death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), compared to the general population. Therefore, we assessed the risk for all-cause death and MACE after TAVI in patients aged 65 years and older, in comparison to an age- and sex-matched control population. Methods and results In total, 5924 TAV
