Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been shown to predict overall survival (OS) in several different malignancies, but not in patients with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (siNET). We evaluated the influence of HRQoL on survival in patients with siNET. We included 85 patients with advanced siNET who completed the validated HRQoL instruments, EORTC QLQ-C30 and GI.NET21. We used Cox p

We use a closed-loop algorithm to accurately program hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) to arbitrary chosen target conductance values. The key enabler is suppression of conductance growth. We have identified two different mechanisms contributing to the total conductance of FTJs. By controlling both, we demonstrated an up to threefold increase of the usable conducta

Organic luminescent narrowband emitters have emerged as promising candidates for wide-color-gamut displays. However, the comprehensive photo-induced structural and vibrational dynamics responsible for the spectral broadening remain poorly understood. In this study, ultrafast spectroscopy is employed to elucidate the excited state dynamics of a sulfone-embedded narrowband emitter, 2tCPD. An intrins

The aviation industry's decarbonization requires sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks that do not compete with food resources. In this context, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) lipids represent a non-food, second-generation feedstock with strong potential for drop-in SAF production. This work presents an integrated evaluation of BSFL-derived lipids hydroprocessed over a commercial Ce/La-doped

Background: Previously untreated patients with severe hemophilia A exposed to factor (F)VIII are at risk of developing high-titer inhibitors. Traditionally, such children were tried on immune tolerance induction (ITI). With availability of nonfactor therapies, recommendations regarding whether to continue trying ITI and how are lacking. Objectives: To provide data to address these questions, we re

Anticholinergic burden is associated with cognitive impairment, especially in older individuals with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. The objective of the study was to explore the use of drugs displaying anticholinergic properties and examine the utility of the newly developed Swedish Anticholinergic Burden Scale (Swe-ABS) in a memory clinic setting. A descriptive cross-sec

Uppvärmning av byggnader är en betydande del av Sveriges energianvändning, vilket gör värmepumpar till en viktig lösning för att minska både energibehov och klimatpåverkan. Prestandan beror dock på byggnadens utformning, isoleringsnivå och lokalt klimat. Tillverkares COP och SCOP värden är baserade på standardiserade test förhållanden som skiljer från svenska klimatet, vilket kan leda till överskaHeating of buildings is a substantial part of Swedens energy use, making heat pumps an important solution for reducing both energy demand and climate impact. However performance depends on building design, insulation and local climate. Manufacturer COP and SCOP values are based on standardized test conditions that differ from Swedish climates which may lead to overestimated efficiency. This thesi

I ett samhälle i kontinuerlig utveckling som kräver expansion och effektiva lösningar och har stora stadskärnor med kulturhistoriskt värdefull bebyggelse kan det finnas en inneboende konflikt mellan stadsförnyelse och bevarande av kulturhistoria. Äldre byggnader som är en del av Sveriges levande historia kan utgöra både hinder och möjligheter i nuvarande stadsförnyelse. Ett arv som inte bör rensasThis report explores how a renovation of a heritage building in Malmö performs according to thermal comfort and daylight conditions with challenges related to conservation requirements and modern building standards. The goal is to analyse a presented floor plan to see what conflicts arise between Swedish building law and regulations, and efforts to modernise aging culturally important buildings. T

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) affects around 1.5% of newborns in Sweden with few late detected cases (0.12 per 10,000). The most common treatment for DDH in Sweden is with the von Rosen splint, with radiographs at 3 and 12 months of age. Little is known about the remodeling of acetabular dysplasia following treatment initiated in the neonatal period. We aimed to

Background: The benefit of surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) lung metastases is unclear. The aim was to investigate the incidence, treatment strategy, and 5-year overall survival (OS) in CRC patients with isolated lung metastases. Methods: This registry-based retrospective cohort study included patients treated with curative resection of CRC within the county of Skåne during the perio

Non-healing venous leg ulcers are characterized by dysfunctional wound healing and frequently exhibit an absence of classical inflammatory signs, despite substantial bacterial loads of the Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To investigate this clinical observation, we used a porcine wound infection model and complementary in vitro cell and enzymatic activity assays. In vivo, P. aerugin

Alternative food initiatives are vital for transforming food systems towards sustainability by challenging, replacing, and complementing the status quo. Understanding how these initiatives contribute to transformation requires attention not only to their intended outcomes but also to the processes through which these outcomes contribute to broader social change. Existing assessment frameworks rare

Background: The occupational therapy intervention, Active in My Home (AiMH), puts occupational engagement, participation in society and personal recovery in focus and includes increased staff support. Aims/Objectives: To investigate how the residents experienced the AiMH support, with a focus on their possibilities for engaging in occupations and participating in society after the intervention. Ma
