Background: Perioperative stress or discomfort in shoulder arthroplasty (SA) patients can be reduced using more individually tailored patient education and expectation management. Most published studies assess pain and function for the first time at 6 weeks or 3 months. Consequently, there is no thorough understanding of day-to-day recovery trajectories within the first postoperative weeks, hinder
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition (BRIEF2) across self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms in a gender- and age-balanced community sample of Swedish youth. We examined factor structure, internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, measurement invariance, and age- and gender-related diffe
Objectives: Breast-fed (BF) have lower risk of infections during infancy compared to those formula-fed (FF). A higher content of alpha-lactalbumin (α-lac) in breast milk, which may promote a more favorable gut microbiota, could be one reason. In this study, we evaluated whether increased concentration of α-lac in low-protein infant formula affects the immune response and the incidence of infection
BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, the demand for palliative care is expected to increase. However, studies show that older patients often receive inadequate palliative care, partly due to healthcare professionals lacking sufficient training and tools to identify and address palliative care needs effectively. This study aims to explore healthcare professionals' experiences regarding facili
Background: Viral infections, including COVID-19, are associated with an increased risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but potential underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. We evaluated whether COVID-19 or influenza A infection is characterized by differential DNA methylation at immune and T1D susceptibility genes in young children at risk for T1D. Methods: Epigenome-wide association analysis using t
Trust is a prerequisite for successful learning.From previous work we know that teachers use multiplestrategies to build trust with students – for example todemonstrate knowledge, skill and competence, or showinginterpersonal care and concern. We also know from studentsthat they trust teachers who ask, listen, and respond. But sincewe conducted those studies, Generative Artificial Intelligence(Gen
Background and study aims Surgical resection is standard treatment of T2 rectal cancer due to risk of concomitant lymph node metastases (LNM). Local resection could potentially be an alternative to surgical treatment in a subgroup of patients with low risk of LNM. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and histopathological risk factors of LNM in T2 rectal cancer. Patients and methods This
In this work, we investigate the cryogenic performance of hafnia-based ferroelectric capacitors with and without an aluminum oxide (ALO) interlayer, comparing conventional metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) structures to metal-ferroelectric-insulator-metal (MFIM) counterparts. Devices employing Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 as the ferroelectric layer were characterized from 300 K down to 10 K, targeting temperature r
INTRODUCTION: The gold standard for monitoring long-term glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus is glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). In conditions where the erythrocyte half-life is decreased, for example, in long-term kidney diseases and hemoglobinopathies, HbA1C may underestimate the long-term glucose exposure. Therefore, in these patient groups, other methods to monitor long-term glucose
INTRODUCTIONThis study examines medication reviews (MRs) among people living with dementia (PWD) in Sweden, focusing on frequency and factors influencing access.METHODSUsing nationwide register data, all diagnosed PWD from 2010 to 2016 were assessed for MR receipt in 2015 and/or 2016. The analysis guided by the Andersen healthcare utilization framework, considered predisposing, enabling, and need-
One of the major causes of dwell time delays is the behaviour of passengers during the alighting and boarding processes, such as an uneven spread of boarding passengers and queues formed in front of the doors. Therefore, changing the behaviour of passengers so that it does not negatively affect the time needed for alighting and boarding is one of the ways to reduce the risk of dwell time delays. P
UNLABELLED: Systemic targeted therapy in prostate cancer is primarily focused on ablating androgen signaling. Androgen deprivation therapy and second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy selectively favor the development of treatment-resistant subtypes of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), defined by AR and neuroendocrine (NE) markers. Molecular drivers of doubl
This study explored the international research collaboration led by China’s world-class universities and its impact during the first construction cycle of the “Double First-Class” initiative (2016–2020). We collected international collaborative publications based on the Scopus database and examined the performance of international research collaboration in terms of quantity, impact, collaborative
Intersectionality is increasingly being operationalized as part of gender mainstreaming efforts across national and multilateral contexts. One prominent example can be located in Sweden’s 2015 institutional commitment to centering future gender equality policy in an intersectional analysis. This article explores the complexities of institutionalizing intersectionality in Swedish gender equality po
“Digital participation” refers to being actively involved in the digital society and using information and communication technology, above all the internet. However, not everyone has access to this global network and the ability to use it. The aim of the study was to explore experiences of using the internet and digital participation among people with aphasia (PWA) in Sweden by analysing data from
The intercalation of metals beneath graphene offers a powerful route to stabilizing and protecting novel 2D phases. The epitaxial growth of Pb monolayers on SiC(0001), combined with the relatively large spacing of the suspended graphene, makes this system particularly distinctive. Using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and various microscopy techniques—including scanning electron microscopy
This chapter explores the invisibility of religious queers within the public discourse on religion and queerness in Sweden, drawing on personal fieldwork experiences and interviews with queer religious participants who self-identify as either Jews, Christians, or Muslims. While highlighting that the visibilities and invisibilities of religious queers vary across the different religious affiliation
Introduction: Despite factor (F)VIII prophylaxis, a perceived increased risk of bleeding for some people with severe haemophilia A (PwSHA) exists, limiting physical activity (PA) and restricting quality of life (QoL). Aim: HemiNorth 2 (EudraCT# 2020-003256-32) is an interventional study evaluating the impact of switching from FVIII prophylaxis to emicizumab in PwSHA without FVIII inhibitors who ha
