Since late 2025, precautionary recalls of specific infant and follow-on formula batches in Europe have occurred due to contamination with cereulide, a heat- and acid-stable emetic toxin produced by certain Bacillus cereus strains. Contamination was traced to arachidonic acid (ARA)-containing algal oil from a single supplier; no viable bacteria were detected in the affected products. The European F

Objectives and Study: The external environment including toxicants remain largely unexplored as risk factors in celiac disease (CeD). Some of the PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often labelled “forever chemicals”, have immunotoxic properties.Methods: In a cohort study nested in the Norwegian MoBa and the Finnish DIPP studies, children with CeD were identified by regular case-finding (

Sub-Saharan Africa’s development challenge lies less in achieving than in sustaining growth. While manycountries experience rapid expansion, frequent episodes of economic shrinking undermine long-termdevelopment. Drawing on the social capabilities framework and the role of monetary governance indevelopment, we examine how central bank autonomy and accountability relate to shrinking dynamics.Throug

OBJECTIVE: (1) To survey oral health in fibromyalgia (FM) and compare with population controls and (2) to assess whether patterns of contact allergy are related to oral status in FM.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants: 60 females with FM who had previously received contact allergy testing.CONTROLS: 120 age- and gender-matched individuals. Questionnaire on aspects of oral health and symptoms and Or

We experimentally study energy scaling properties of gas-filled multipass cell-based nonlinear compression setups by employing increasing azimuthal orders of Laguerre-Gauss LG0ℓ modes. First, we analyze the mode conversion from a Gaussian beam to LG0ℓ modes using spiral phase plates and spatial low-pass filtering. Then, these beams are sent to a first gas-filled multi-pass cell (MPC) to verify the

Climate change and ecosystem decline make rapid sustainability transitions imperative, yet many sectors remain on incremental paths. This paper examines how multi-scalar legitimation dynamics help explain this inertia in the Norwegian salmon aquaculture sector. Combining a geography of sustainability transitions perspective with socio-technical configuration analysis and expert interviews, we anal

Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, commonly persists as a chronic infection, yet reliable treatment protocols remain insufficiently evaluated. Assessing treatment efficacy is essential for improving disease management and understanding impacts on host health. We conducted a 2.5-year experimental study to assess the efficacy and safety of atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone®) against Plasmod

INTRODUCTION: Fall-related injuries are a common cause of morbidity and impaired quality of life among patients with severe respiratory disease. Use of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) may be associated with a further increased risk.METHODS: This was a longitudinal study of patients starting LTOT between 2006 and 2023 in the Swedish DISCOVERY cohort. Rates of healthcare contact due to three types o

Introduction: Many patients do not benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with current guideline parameters. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between left ventricular activation time (LVAT) from the standard 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and clinical outcome from CRT. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on patients receiving CRT implants

Land-use carbon metabolism (LUCM) optimization has been increasingly recognized as a critical and complex pathway toward carbon neutrality in China. Using land-use and socioeconomic data from Hubei Province (2000-2020), this study develops a dual-network framework integrating ecological network analysis (ENA) and social network analysis (SNA) to examine temporal carbon flows and spatial carbon lin
