The emergence of antibiotic resistance is a global health concern. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of its spread is crucial for implementing evidence-based strategies to tackle resistance in the context of the One Health approach. In developing countries where sanitation systems and access to clean and safe water are still major challenges, contamination may introduce bacteria and bacterio
Several sources of DNA damage compromise the integrity and stability of the genome of every organism. Specifically, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can have lethal consequences for the cell. To repair this type of DNA damage, the cells employ homology-directed repair pathways or non-homologous end joining. Homology-directed repair requires the activity of the RAD52 epistasis group of genes. Rad52
AbstractRecently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Lindahl, 2013). The challenges encountered by archaeologists remain the huge ceramic assemblages, which are however, central in defining group identities in southern African Iron Age studies. but whose analyses Is alRecently we have called for the broadening of the theoretical base in order to understand the social and other contexts of material culture items such as pottery (Pikirayi and Llndahl, 2013).

While research indicates that indoor lighting, exposure to daylight, physical activity, and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood, and daily rhythm, strategies are needed to support behavioral changes among older adults who often spend more time at home after retirement. The objective was to design a web-based course to encourage behavior change related to light, activity, and sleep.

On 20 June 1810 Stockholm was rocked by a full-blown and violent riot. A funeral precession for the recently deceased crown prince Charles August turned into a furious riot which eventually developed into an attack on the entire existing social order. The marshal of the realm, Axel von Fersen, was killed and large crowds fought during the rest of the day regular street battles against military and
This article draws on usability evaluations of a behavioural change intervention delivered as a web-based course. Special attention was given to usability as the course is directed at older adults aged 70 and above. Experiences from the usability evaluations in a lab environment and the real world, followed by stepwise refinements, can serve as examples of what must be considered in developing cou
Background: Lumbar puncture (LP) is a common invasive procedure, most frequently performed to diagnose infection. Physicians perform LP in newborn infants with the help of an assistant using a strict aseptic technique; it is important to monitor the infant during all the steps of the procedure. Without adequate analgesia, LP can cause considerable pain and discomfort. As newborns have increased se
BACKGROUND: The benefit:risk profile of bivalirudin versus heparin anticoagulation in patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is uncertain. Study-level meta-analyses lack granularity to provide conclusive answers. We sought to compare the outcomes of bivalirudin and heparin in patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial
I syfte att förbereda svenska riktlinjer för trafiksäkerhetsgranskning, en genomgång av internationella bäst praktik riktlinjer gjordes om trafiksäkerhetsgranskning som är ett specifikt verktyg inom ramen för Trafiksäkerhetsledning av väginfrastruktur (Road Infrastructure Safety Management).
Introduction Modern systemic treatment has reduced incidence of regional recurrences and improved survival in breast cancer (BC). It is thus questionable whether regional radiotherapy (RT) is still beneficial in patients with sentinel lymph node (SLN) macrometastasis. Postoperative regional RT is associated with an increased risk of arm morbidity, pneumonitis, cardiac disease and secondary cancer.
Background Relying on freezer stored biospecimens is preferred in epidemiolocal studies exploring environmental pregnancy exposures and later offspring health. Storage duration may increase the pre-analytical variability, potentially adding measurement uncertainty. We investigated evaporation of maternal serum after long-term biobank storage using ions (sodium, Na+; chloride, Cl-) recognized for s
This study discusses issues around the integration of Syrian refugee children into the Turkish school system by using the case study of a secondary school in the city of Gaziantep in the southeast of Turkey. Based on focus groups with teachers at the school who engage with the growing number of Syrian refugee children in their classrooms, this study highlights in particular the role of Turkish lan
Objective: To determine the value of CT-guided bone core biopsy and investigate factors that affect diagnostic yield and biopsy outcome. Materials and methods: The single-centre retrospective analysis included 447 patients who had CT-guided core biopsy with a 13-G needle (Bonopty®) from January 2016 to December 2021. Histological results or ≥ 6 months of clinical and radiological follow-up served
