Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the fastest-evolving human pathogens. Understanding HIV-1 transmission, within-host adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics is pivotal for development of interventions and vaccines. HIV-1 infection is generally caused by a single transmitted founder virus (TFV), and TFV sequences are typically obtained using single genome amplificatio
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the routines for handling mother's own milk and donor human milk in Swedish neonatal care units related to national guidelines. Methods: A web-based survey of 24 of 38 neonatal units and 19 of 28 human milk banks in Sweden. Results: Despite national guidelines, breast milk handling varied widely. All units offered lactation support and free breast pumps d
Background: The study of emotion regulation (ER) has gained traction in forensic psychological and psychiatric research as a correlate of antisocial and aggressive behavior as well as for its relevance to psychopathology. However, conceptual and definitional ambiguity persists. Methods: This pre-registered systematic review aimed to investigate how ER is conceptualized and measured in forensic pop
Second primary malignancies (SPMs) increasingly affect mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) survivors. In nationwide Danish and Swedish cohorts (2000–2020), we evaluated overall survival among MCL patients with SPMs versus matched non-lymphoma individuals with comparable malignancies and MCL patients without SPMs, respectively. Of 3094 MCL survivors, 19% in Denmark and 15% in Sweden developed an SPM, with a
Aims. We investigate the formation and evolutionary trajectory of the Milky Way’s inner and outer galactic regions using stars from open clusters in the Gaia-ESO OC survey. Methods. Using numerical simulations from Chempy, we leveraged Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling techniques to derive galactic evolutionary parameters for each open cluster by fitting measured abundances of elements C, N, O, Mg
Psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and stress, requires time-efficient assessment tools suited for digital and momentary settings. The Screening Tool for Psychological Distress (STOP-D) is a five-item scale developed for brief mental health screening, but it has not yet been validated in Swedish. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and diagnostic accuracy o
Effective medical education relies on clearly defined learning objectives that foster deep and meaningful learning. This article presents a consensus-driven proposal for national learning objectives in dermatology and venereology within Sweden’s new medical programme qualifying for licensure. The primary aim is to harmonize educational standards across all medical faculties and to establish a comm
BACKGROUND: High-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) is associated with therapy-resistant relapse, and novel therapeutic strategies are needed. GSPT1 is a GTPase involved in protein translation whose disruption may offer therapeutic potential in translation-dependent cancers.METHODS: GSPT1 expression was assessed in publicly available clinical data and tissue microarrays. GSPT1-degrading molecular glues we
Objective: Worse women's outcomes after elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair have been widely reported. Similar data have surfaced from cohorts undergoing fenestrated and branched repair; however, studies reporting from a sex perspective are rare and mostly limited to single centre designs. This study aimed to examine survival following nationwide complex endovascular repair according to
In this paper, we investigate how institutional conditions shape individual-level resilience in healthcare organizations which in turn facilitates the intrapreneurial behavior of healthcare professionals. Using a critical literature review methodology, we identify that the current literature centers around three dominant clusters defined by intrapreneurial outcomes: organizational performance, inn
Objectives: To evaluate the test–retest reliability of a novel laboratory-based protocol for inducing and measuring head acceleration in multiple directions under anticipated and unanticipated conditions. Design: Laboratory-based test–retest reliability study. Methods: Thirty physically active adults (50% female) completed standardized head perturbations using a custom-built apparatus. Perturbatio
In previous work we have shown that any subalgebra A⊆K[x] of finite codimension n can be described by a finite set Sp(A), called the subalgebra spectrum of A, together with n defining conditions. In this paper we show that a similar result applies to subalgebras of infinite codimension. We also develop new tools for the case of finite codimension. One of them is to introduce an ideal I(A) in A of
We report the first experimental observation of carrier-envelope phase-driven energy bunching in laser wakefield acceleration. Using a few-cycle (∼9 fs), multiterawatt laser pulse and ionization injection in a helium-nitrogen gas mixture, we observe electron spectra composed of multiple quasimonoenergetic peaks with regular narrow energy spacing. This comb structure arises from intermittent trappi
Aim: An electrocardiogram is commonly recommended in breath-holding spell management, mainly to rule out long QT syndrome. This retrospective study investigated the risk of long QT syndrome being misdiagnosed as breath-holding spells in a paediatric population in southern Sweden. Methods: Data on patient characteristics and diagnostic findings were reviewed for patients aged < 10 years who were di
Inhalation administration of therapeutics is a crucial method for treatment of respiratory diseases, offering direct access to the target organ. However, the progression of candidate drugs is frequently impacted by clinical dose level limitations due to lung histopathological findings or functional effects identified in in vivo studies. Addressing these safety concerns is crucial in advancing comp
Background: Recent advances have highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to assist clinicians with administrative and clinical tasks, but concerns regarding biases, lack of regulation, and potential technical issues pose significant challenges. The lack of a clear definition of AI, combined with limited focus on qualitative research exploring clinicians' perspectives, has
Objectives The aim was to estimate the prevalence and risk of respiratory symptoms among workers exposed to epoxy resin systems in the wind turbine industry. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including 180 epoxy-exposed production workers from two Danish wind turbine blade factories and 41 non-exposed office workers. Respiratory symptoms were defined as having two or more symptoms (i.e.
Background: The prognostic benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) remains uncertain. Objectives: To evaluate long-term survival following CTO PCI compared with medical therapy (MT) using target trial emulation and a nationwide real-world registry. Methods: We included 7813 patients with stable CAD and a document
