Introduction: Qualitative assessment of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy on computed tomography (CT) after cardiac arrest is limited by interrater agreement. We explored how qualitative assessment can be improved. Methods: In-depth analysis of radiological items evaluated in a prospective sub-study within the Targeted Hypothermia versus Targeted Normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (T
The model is based on an existing framework for high-cycle fatigue by Ottosen et al. (2008) that treats the fatigue damage as a time-continuous variable, opposed to relying on cycle-counting techniques. We propose a generalized formulation where the relationship between the fatigue limits for fully reversed shear stress and normal stress can take any value, unlike in the original formulation, wher
The dispersive approach to the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the muon g − 2 involves an integral over three virtual photon momenta appearing in the light-by-light tensor. Building upon previous works, we systematically derive short-distance constraints in the region where two momenta are large compared to the third, the so-called Melnikov-Vainshtein or corner region. We include gluonic c
We present the current Standard Model (SM) prediction for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, aμ, updating the first White Paper (WP20) [1]. The pure QED and electroweak contributions have been further consolidated, while hadronic contributions continue to be responsible for the bulk of the uncertainty of the SM prediction. Significant progress has been achieved in the hadronic light-by-light scat
In recent years, unbalanced diets and high consumption of processed foods have primarily contributed to the rise of diet-related diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, among others. One way to address these problems is to increase the consumption of plant-based foods rich in fibre, healthy fats, and protein. The growing interest in plant-based foods continues to rise, leading to a rapid expansion
Each year as the seasons turn, the skies fill with millions of travellers. From the tundra to the tropics, birds embark on remarkable journeys guided by an innate programme and perform one of nature’s most remarkable phenomena: migration. In this thesis, I tackle the study of the genetic basis of migratory behaviour in several Phylloscopus species with a multimodal approach. Here, I combine geoloc
This paper presents the first online, in-situ experimental evidence of the puffing behavior of aluminium (Al) atoms during the ignition of a micron-sized Al wire. As the protective alumina (Al2O3) layer ruptures, spatially resolved laser absorption measurements reveal the outward puffing of Al atoms from the molten Al wire core. These Al atoms then react with the surrounding oxidizers, leading to
The fast development of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) services—such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-E—have within a short period of time gained immense uptake and popularity. At the same time, such services have given rise to fundamental challenges from a copyright perspective. Court proceedings have been initiated in many jurisdictions on the compatibility of such services with copyright
The European Society for Clinical Evaluation of Balance Disorders (ESCEBD), based in Nancy, France, has been meeting yearly since 2005 to discuss equilibrium-related themes that are not yet clearly defined or standardized. One of our latest discussions was with regard to outlining strategies of internal and external compensation that may be used to cope with balance disorders. A Committee was elec
While NH3 has gained a lot of interest as a potential carbon-free fuel, at present, there are notable disagreements when it comes to predictions of some of its combustion characteristics, such as burning velocity or species mole fractions, in particular of NOx, which have the potential to cause significant harm to both human health and the environment. Nevertheless, because the NH3 flame presents
Nearly 40 % of individuals will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, translating to an estimated 20 million new cases annually. Despite remarkable therapeutic advances, only 15–20 % of patients achieve durable responses to immunotherapy, and the high cost of treatment (illustrated by immune checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and nivolumab, totaling roughly $191,000 per year) remains a
Phytoplankton employ a wide variety of defenses to reduce mortality from zooplankton grazing. Many such defenses are inducible, that is, they are upregulated in the event of increased predation. Thus, theory predicts that they should come at a cost to the organism. When exposed to predatory cues from a copepod predator, the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia seriata upregulates the production of the neurotox
Introduction: Obesity is a chronic, progressive, and recurring disease that contributes significantly to multimorbidity across Europe. Despite the publication of numerous clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for obesity, many chronic disease guidelines for obesity related diseases such as diabetes, MASLD, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnea do not integrate contemporary understandings of obesity
Foraging in landfills enhances the probability of acquiring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wildlife and increases exposure to pollutants like metal(loid)s, pharmaceuticals and caffeine. Exposure to metal(loid)s in the environment may cause selective pressure on bacteria, inducing metal resistance genes that drive antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) through co-resistance and cross-resistance m
This meta-review evaluated the possibility of more specified recommendations in antibiotic treatment through a narrowed focus on facial trauma. The aim was to analyze the effect of different regimens of antibiotic in treatment of skeletal trauma to the face. The knowledge mapping was based on existing systematic reviews (SRs) on trials specified in a PICO: Participants (P): Adults and children, di
Background: Studies on long-term exposure to air pollution at high levels suggest an association with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to study this relationship at very low levels, less well-studied, yet of public health importance. Methods: The Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) consists of randomly selected subjects aged 50–64 years from six large cities in Swe
The present work presents extinction strain rates in both premixed and non-premixed cases for n-heptane flames, simulated with different transport formulations and a range of Lennard-Jones parameter sets. Although mixture-average and multi-component transport formulations give similar results, the inclusion of thermal diffusion has a larger impact. Thermal diffusion creates an accumulation of n-he
