ObjectivesStructural defects during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) can be difficult to identify only on two-dimensional imaging. This study aims to assess the potential additional value of routine intraoperative completion plain cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in identifying such defects during FEVAR.MethodsA retrospective review of all consecutive FEVARs performed at a tertia

Objective Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare disease that can result in severe bleeding in a fetus or newborn, including intracranial hemorrhage. Maternal-fetal human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a incompatibility is a prerequisite to maternal HPA-1a alloimmunization, which may result in FNAIT. The risk of HPA-1a alloimmunization is approximately 25-times higher in HPA-1

Understanding the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) on stream water quality (WQ) is essential for conservation of ecosystem services (ES) and informing sustainable land use planning. This study investigates the influence of LULC on stream WQ during the wet and dry seasons 2022–2024, across two representative watersheds in the Bolivian central Andes, a region with marked physical gradients, a

En grundlig genomgång och översikt av den nazistiska förintelsepolitiken, framför allt mot judar, under andra världskriget.

False lumen management of chronic aortic dissections has evolved during the past decade. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) continues to be the mainstay of endovascular dissection treatment and relies on the adequate sealing of the proximal entry tear. However, TEVAR alone often fails to achieve aortic remodeling due to persistent distal retrograde perfusion of the false lumen with contin

OBJECTIVE: Data on females managed with fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic arch repair (FB-Arch) are limited. This study aimed to present the 30 day and follow up outcomes of FB-Arch in female patients.METHODS: A retrospective analysis (1 January 2011 to 31 March 2024) among four European aortic centres was conducted according to STROBE guidelines. Consecutive female patients managed with

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR) with inner branches (iBEVAR) and inner/outer branches (oBEVAR).DATA SOURCES: A systematic literature review was performed using the electronic bibliographic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library up to May 2024.REVIEW METHODS: The review was

The current study presents a comprehensive research on the design, optimization, and numerical analysis of axial turbines, addressing the urgent need for more efficient and environmentally friendly energy conversion systems. With turbines being central to power generation, aviation, and marine propulsion, enhancing their performance is crucial to reducing fuel consumption, operational costs, and g

Studies scrutinizing the significance of religion for populism are still scarce, but one metaphor has been adopted across almost all of them—the metaphor of the hijacked faith. This chapter sketches the nexus between metaphor and method in the study of populism, before it introduces the contributions to this compilation. Ulrich Schmiedel suggest that there are structural similarities between popul

This article examines how piloting a diary method became pivotal in transforming a participatory ethnography on household debt in Greece and Spain into full-fledged Action Research —driven and shaped by the diary-writing participants themselves. We analyse the evolving dynamics between researchers and diary authors, as an initial phase of solitary diary writing prompted the collaborative developme

Housing has a rich and decades-long body of scholarship, yet geographers have only recently begun to dissect environmental and power relations in/through the home, an urgent task due to growing carbon reduction and energy efficiency targets at the heart of climate-related housing action. This paper elaborates four interconnected conceptual pathways to unpack the uneven socionatural power relations

Despite increased attention to climate finance in urban adaptation, empirical data on the socio-political processes shaping funding accessibility, allocation, and their implications for inter-urban adaptation progress remains limited. In a first-of-its-kind survey, we analyse results from 148 urban administrations across 17 EU countries. Our results reveal widespread funding shortages (>85% of adm

Eyeblink conditioning is mediated by similar cerebellar pathways in humans and animals and is typically investigated using delay or trace protocols. These studies show that humans can easily acquire eyeblink conditioning within a single day of training whereas animals usually require around 3-10 days of acquisition training before they consistently exhibit conditioned responses. We aimed to study

The aim was to describe hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donors' experiences focusing on information and side effects during the first year after donation. Our prospective Swedish cohort study with adult HSC donors was performed from 2019 to 2022, with questionnaires at four time points from before until 12 months after donation. 173 unrelated and 68 related donors participated, and the majority dona

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Data on distal radius fractures (DRFs) with concomitant metaphyseal distal ulna fractures is limited. We aimed to determine whether a combined DRF and distal ulna fracture (DRUF) predicts a worse patient-reported outcome, measured by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, 1 year after injury.METHODS: This prospective registry-based cohort study includ

The long-standing debate in the scientific community about whether ferroelectricity or ferroelasticity is the key property influencing the optoelectronic behavior of metal halide perovskites continues. In this study, we experimentally investigate the temperature dependence of photoluminescence from CsPb(Br1−xClx)3 nanowires and their heterojunctions. Our findings show an enhancement of the exciton

Engelskans utbredning inom högre utbildning i Sverige riskerar att vidmakthålla och förstärka de klassklyftor som redan gynnar studenter från akademikerhem, skriver artikelförfattarna.

BACKGROUND: The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), the standard measure of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), has limitations in reflecting disease severity.RESEARCH QUESTION: Is high hypoxic burden (HB) more strongly associated with major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events (MACCEs) than AHI≥ 30/h?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This secondary analysis of the RICCADSA observational cohort included 3
