Importance Double awareness, the ability to live meaningfully while preparing for the end of life, is central to serious illness conversations. In hematology, prognostic uncertainty and expectations of novel therapies often delay prognostic dialogue, limiting opportunities to cultivate double awareness in patients and caregivers. Objective To explore how patients, caregivers, and hematology clinic
Background/Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is primarily treated via dietary modifications. Several diets have been shown to improve symptoms with similar efficacy. Other aspects of IBS, such as insufficient nutrient intake and being overweight, should also be considered when planning treatment options. The present scoping review aimed to identify various diets investigated in IBS-relate
Swedish family and cancer data constitute the largest source on familial cancer in the world. We analyze here familial risks in prostate cancer (PC) with focus on multiple affected brothers and comparation of full-brothers to maternal and paternal half-brothers. Age-specific incidence and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated for PC in brothers. Curves for relative risk (RR) by diag
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts, typically affecting intertriginous areas.

Since the transnational emergence of anti-gender mobilizations, trans people’s rights and identities have been increasingly contested. While existing scholarship has shown how anti-gender actors mobilize around the abstract common enemy of ‘gender ideology’, less attention has been paid to recent convergences against trans rights, and to the construction of trans people as targets of mobilization.
Over the past decade, scholars have extensively examined the rise of anti-gender politics in Europe. In this context, Italy is considered as a prominent battleground in the so-called «anti-gender crusade» against reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ issues, self-determination, and bodily autonomy. However, few studies have addressed the everyday digital labor that supports the widespread circulation and
Gender disparities persist as a prominent issue in academic careers, reflecting systemic biases and structural barriers that hinder advancement and contribute to the marginalization of women in precarious academic posi-tions. This article investigates gender inequalities in early careers in Italy with a specific focus on the field of Political Science. Drawing from an original da
Social movement scholarship has long examined interorganizational collaboration through diverse theoretical and methodological lenses, with relational theories and network analysis being increasingly adopted. However, empirical investigations of collaborative networks remain limited due to data collection challenges. Reviewing extant network-analytic investigations of collaborative collective acti
Part of an ongoing exploration on open-ended knowledge practices and design pedagogies, becoming lore looks into what positions folklore and collective story building can occupy in the reconfiguration of how we experience and think of relationships in our presents and futures.The project challenges the obsessive connections euro-centric epistemologies have established between knowledge and precisi
Indigenous Lands are critical for protecting Indigenous Peoples and the Amazon. Yet, they are increasingly exposed to socio-environmental frontiers, bringing violence, illegal resource extraction and deforestation.

Early modern academic dissertations remain a largely underexplored resource. Yet this central genre of early modern academic life must have played a crucial role in shaping, transmitting, and producing knowledge. The sheer volume of dissertations produced underscores their significance. In Sweden alone over 21,000 dissertations were published between 1600 and 1820, defended at just three universit
Purpose: Whether the quality of the ethical climate in the intensive care unit (ICU) improves the identification of patients receiving excessive care and affects patient outcomes is unknown. Methods: In this prospective observational study, perceptions of excessive care (PECs) by clinicians working in 68 ICUs in Europe and the USA were collected daily during a 28-day period. The quality of the eth
Intensive care patient diaries in Scandinavia: a comparative study of emergence and evolution Critical illness and intensive care therapy are often followed by psychological problems such as nightmares, hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, depression, and symptoms of posttraumatic stress.
