ECHOES OF THE OIL SPILL OF 2019: ASSESSMENT OF THE PRESENCE OF PAH AND BTEX IN PRODUCTS FROM FISHING. The 2019 oil spill in Brazil caused widespread contamination in the Brazilian coast, posing risks to both animal and human health through seafood consumption. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate seafood samples from different locations impacted by the oil spill. For this purpose, 44 samples un

Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) have gained substantial interest in the energy and optoelectronics field. MHPs in nanostructure forms, such as nanocrystals and nanowires (NWs), have further expanded the horizons for perovskite nanodevices in geometry and properties. A partial anion exchange within the nanostructure, creating axial heterojunctions, has significantly augmented the potential applicat

Extracellular plaques in Alzheimer’s disease contain Aβ peptides and ganglioside lipids such as GM1. Aβ monomers self-assemble into beta-sheet-rich fibrils when their concentration exceeds solubility, while GM1 monomers form spherical micelles above their critical concentration. This study examines the self-assembly of Aβ in the first two papers and its co-assembly with GM1 in the last two. In Pap

BACKGROUND: A large proportion of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is caused by environmental factors.METHODS: By applying multiomics mRNA, microRNA (miRNA), and DNA methylation platforms in biopsies from 20 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D, we aimed to delineate the epigenetic and transcriptional machinery underlying non-genetic muscle insulin resistance in T2D

Objectives: To describe characteristics and primary healthcare utilisation in Danish patients with low back pain (LBP) or neck/thoracic spine pain (NTP) 8 years before and 2 years after assessment in secondary care. Methods: In this cohort study, we included patients aged ≥ 18 who were assessed at an outpatient spine clinic from 2013 to 2021 and linked self-reported information with national regis

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the asymptomatic precursor of multiple myeloma and related diseases but has also been associated with thrombosis. Prior studies have not been based on screened cohorts leading to bias. We assessed the risk of thrombosis in a cohort of 75 422 individuals over 40 years old who were screened for MGUS in Iceland. We also evaluated the associ

Several novel urinary kidney damage biomarkers predict the progression of kidney disease. However, the relations of these biomarkers to atherosclerosis, a major consequence of kidney disease, are less studied. Urinary levels of several biomarkers, including kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), osteopontin, epidermal growth factor, and Dickkopf-3, were assessed in participants enrolled in the Swedish

Background: Concizumab is an anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor monoclonal antibody in development as a once-daily, subcutaneous prophylaxis for patients with haemophilia A or haemophilia B with or without inhibitors. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of concizumab in patients with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors. Here we report the results from the confirmatory analysis cutoff. M

Denna berättelse om immunoterapi kombinerad med ultrahypo-fraktionerad strålterapi har sitt ursprung i den kliniska studie som på engelska benämdes "Brain Immune Gene Tumour Therapy" (BRIGTT) som professor Leif G, Salford i Lund initierade strax innan 2000-millienium-skiftet. Ett specifikt tumörvaccin framställdes baserat på tumörceller som han extraherade ur tumörvävnad från den gliom-patient han

The development of immersive visuoauditory media brings to the fore several design challenges concerning cognitive human factors, such as visual perception, embodied interaction, and emotional engagement. With a focus on visual perception, our research emphasises a systematic study of embodied multimodal interaction in immersive settings and provides a cognitive model of visuospatial complexity th

The European Green Deal recognises the importance of addressing the environmental challenges posed by agriculture to meet the global biodiversity and climate agendas. Environmental policymaking is needed to drive and speed up sustainability transitions in agriculture because the environmental consequences of agricultural activities are not generally reflected in production costs and lead to market

A novel approach is introduced to modulate the threshold voltage of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) that are fabricated by electropolymerizing the channel material between the source and drain electrodes. To achieve this, we adjust the ratio of two water-soluble tri-thiophene monomers, which share the same backbone, but present either anionic or zwitterionic sidechains, during channel

Background and purpose: Since patients with primary brain tumor are expected to become long-term survivors, the prevention of long-term treatment-induced side effects is particularly important. This study aimed to explore whether symptom experience and symptom distress change over five years in adults with primary brain tumors treated with proton therapy. An additional aim was to explore whether s
