Previous literature has reported increased rates of gambling problems in athletes compared to non-athletes. More liberal gambling-related attitudes have been suggested as a reason, although this rarely has been researched. The present study aimed to examine gambling experience, gambling problems, and gambling-related attitudes and parental gambling experience in high school students, comparing stu

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a target for diagnostic positron emission tomography (PET)-tracers and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), for example, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, in prostate cancer. This autoradiography study investigates [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 intratumoral distribution over time, compared with PSMA expression, proliferation (Ki67), and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, [18F]F-PSMA

This paper focuses on contemporary archival professionals in Sweden. The research questions posed are: RQ1: What are the different facets of archival work commonly described in employment advertisements directed at archival professionals? RQ2: What are the desirable personal traits that employers seek when hiring an archival professional? The material consists of job advertisements from the year 2

BACKGROUND: Children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) often have pulmonary regurgitation with right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction, whereas less is known about the effect on the left ventricle (LV). The aim was to investigate LV haemodynamic variables derived from non-invasive pressure-volume loops in children with rToF and how they compare to controls and previous research on

Objectives: Experimental and small human studies have indicated that high total adiponectin levels have beneficial cardiometabolic effects. In contrast, however, high total adiponectin levels are also associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in thoroughly adjusted epidemiological studies. To gain further insight into these seemingly contradictory results, we report results on

Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the consistency between results of the American Conference for Governmental Occupational Hygienists (ACGIH) threshold limit value (TLV) for hand activity and proposed action levels of objective measurements in risk assessments of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Methods. Wrist velocities and forearm muscular load were measured for 11 assemblers du

Aims/Hypotheses: To investigate the frequency and characteristics of partial remission in Swedish children with type 1 diabetes and whether the insulin delivery method, that is, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDIs), affects incidence and duration of this period, 2007-2011. Factors that increase the proportion of subjects who enter partial remission an

The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association convened three separate work groups in 2011 and single work groups in 2012 and 2018 to create recommendations for the diagnosis and characterization of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present document updates the 2018 research framework in response to several recent developments. Defining diseases biologically, rather than based on synd

Large eddy simulations of pilot fuel ignited, lean premixed, natural gas engines are performed to study the pilot-ignition process and its subsequent interaction with the premixed charge. The injection pressure (Pinj) and injection duration (Δinj) are varied (i.e. 800 bar/760μs, 800 bar/500μs, and 400bar/760μs) to study the impact of the injection process on the subsequent combustion evolution. Op

2D van der Waals (vdW) magnets are gaining attention in fundamental physics and advanced spintronics, due to their unique dimension-dependent magnetism and potential for ultra-compact integration. However, achieving intrinsic ferromagnetism with high Curie temperature (TC) remains a technical challenge, including preparation and stability issues. Herein, an applicable electrochemical intercalation

BACKGROUND: The effect of myocardial infarction (MI) on life expectancy is difficult to study because the prevalence of MI hinders direct comparison with the life expectancy of the general population. We sought to assess this in relation to age, sex, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by comparing individuals with MI with matched comparators without previous MI. METHODS: We included pat

We study optimal seeding problems for binary super-modular network games. The system planner's objective is to design a minimal cost seeding guaranteeing that at least a predefined fraction of the players adopt a certain action in every Nash equilibrium. Since the problem is known to be NP-hard and its exact solution would require full knowledge of the network structure, we focus on approximate so

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune bleeding disease caused by immune-mediated platelet destruction and decreased platelet production. ITP is characterized by an isolated thrombocytopenia (<100 × 109/L) and increased risk of bleeding. The disease has a complex pathophysiology wherein immune tolerance breakdown leads to platelet and megakaryocyte destruction. Therapeutics such as cortico

This article examines the entangled worlds of anti-colonialism and anarchism in Weimar era Berlin. Looking particularly at Agnes Smedley and her partner in Berlin, Virendranath Chattopadhyaya, as well as M.P.T.Acharya and others, the article explores the ways in which these figures approached the question of anarchism in relation to Indian anti-colonialism. While recent scholarship has focused on

Despite diagnostic algorithms, identification of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in emergency departments (ED) remains a challenge. We evaluated symptoms, background, and laboratory data in 27,647 ED patients presenting with pain, swelling, or other symptoms from the extremities, and identified predictors of VTE diagnosis within one year. Predictors of a clinical decision to perform phlebography, ult

The first keyword, Welfare State, sets out to problematise the term itself. The welfare state is a national construct, a ‘national social state’ as Etienne Balibar calls it. Thus, transnational or global migration is often construed as a disruptive force, potentially destabilising the welfare state and the nation. This keyword entry critically examines common conceptions of what the welfare state

Banishment concludes the keyword discussion by arguing that we can understand the exclusionary practices of welfare states as a politics of destitution, which ultimately leads to the banishment of unwanted individuals. It argues that banishment can be helpful as a conceptual lens through which to understand the purposeful strategies that render individuals deportable, whether citizens or non-citiz
