Archbishop Gustav Trolle worked for the freedom of the church. He was not afraid to compromise in certain circumstances if it served the church’s cause. His alliance with Christian II came later than is often presumed and was more reactive than calculated. Furthermore, the Bloodbath took place on a scale larger than Trolle had intended. His image has, however, been profoundly influenced by his ene
BACKGROUND: Insufficient knowledge among assistant nurses (ANs) in nursing homes (NHs) on medicines and drug-related problems (DRPs) in older people causes difficulties in acknowledging the side effects of medications, which can be harmful to the individual and endangers patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore the ANs' thoughts on their professional role in preventing DRPs in NH resid
BACKGROUND: Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) is associated with lower mortality in heart failure (HF) patients and protects against cardiac and kidney injury in mice.OBJECTIVES: The authors investigated dapagliflozin's cardiorenal effects by studying its association with ApoM in patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction.METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of DEFINE-HF (Dapagliflozin Effects on
INTRODUCTION: Trust in healthcare is central to the delivery of care and unequally distributed between groups in society. Experiences of perceived discrimination have been associated with lack of such trust. Although the importance of trust in healthcare has been highlighted in recent years, studies in this area are relatively scarce.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the risk of low trust in
Background: Inhibitory deficits are common in psychopathology. Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) and rumination are general risk factors for psychiatric distress that are similarly associated with dysfunctional inhibition—particularly in affective contexts. A number of cognitive remediation procedures have been developed to improve inhibitory control; however, most remediation programs focus on “c
Dopamine replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease can induce impulsive-compulsive behaviours (ICBs). Here we compare the D2/3 agonist ropinirole and L-DOPA, given alone or combined, with regard to their potential to induce ICBs in rats sustaining bilateral striatal injections of 6-hydroxydopamine. Daily treatment with ropinirole (2.5 mg/kg), L-DOPA (24.0 mg/kg), or their combination was given f
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative opportunistic bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts. The complement system is a critical mechanism of innate immunity that protects the human body from bacterial infections. Complement activation leads to the deposition of the membrane attack complex (MAC), which can directly lyse gramnegative bacteria.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide and the majority of AF patients are treated in primary care. In order to minimize hospitalizations and visits to emergency departments, nurse-led care was introduced in secondary care and primary health care (PHC). However, even though nurse-led care was initiated in PHC almost a decade ago, and ESC guidelines recommended
Background: Human milk offers significant health benefits for infants; however, when not feasible, infant formula serves as an alternative. The higher protein content in infant formula is thought to contribute to the distinct metabolic profiles observed in formula-fed infants compared with those fed human milk. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of formula protein quantity and whey pro
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a heterogeneous disease. Several studies have identified transcriptional subtypes of mCRPC, but comprehensive analysis of prognostic gene expression pathways has been limited. Therefore, we aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression-based pathways with clinical out
We have calculated redox potentials of 12 blue copper protein sites comparing 64 computational methods, systematically varying the quantum mechanics (QM) system size, dielectric constants, density functional, and basis sets. All methods were based on structures optimized with combined QM and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approaches. The redox potentials were evaluated using 10 quality metrics. The b
This study explores a collaborative project between various levels of public administration in southern Sweden, designed to encourage companies to adopt sustainable transportation practices. Conducted with the participation of researchers from Lund University, the project supports companies in developing and annually revising action plans that include specific sustainability goals, assigned respon
To reverse biodiversity loss, creating resilient ecological networks has been promoted in policy and practice. However, we argue that emphasising networks within policy without clear conservation prioritisations may direct focus away from ecological processes important for population persistence. We studied the rationale for resilient ecological networks represented in a policy context, by reviewi
