Objectives: To develop EULAR recommendations for screening and prophylaxis of chronic and opportunistic infections in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD). Methods: An international Task Force (TF) (22 members/15 countries) formulated recommendations, supported by systematic literature review findings. Level of evidence and grade of recommendation were assigned for each

BackgroundMultigene expression assays for molecular subtypes and biomarkers can aid clinical management of early invasive breast cancer. Based on RNA-sequencing we aimed to develop single-sample predictor (SSP) models for conventional clinical markers, molecular intrinsic subtype and risk of recurrence (ROR).MethodsA uniformly accrued breast cancer cohort of 7743 patients with RNA-sequencing data

The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters are highly interesting and unique chemical laboratories. Due to the very high atmospheric temperatures, their chemical composition is dominated by atoms and ions instead of molecules, and the formation of aerosols on their day-sides is unlikely. Thus, for these planets detailed chemical characterisations via the direct detection of elements through high-resolu

Vid utgrävningar på Løgstrup SØ II, Fiskbӕk s:n, Nørlyng h:d (Jylland) påträffades under 2008 års utgrävningssäsong flertalet tydliga spår av bronshantverk i form av deglar, gjutformar, råmaterial m.m. Bland fynden fanns tre stycken metalltenar vilka förmodades vara råmaterial (tenn) för bronsgjuteri. För att bekräfta vad dessa tenar består av har Keramiska Forskningslaboratoriet, Lunds Universite

In ultrafast spectroscopy, the temporal resolution of time-resolved experiments depends on the duration of the pump and probe pulses, and on the control and characterization of their relative synchronization. Free-electron lasers operating in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray spectral regions deliver pulses with femtosecond and attosecond duration in a broad array of pump–probe configurations to s

Psychosocial treatments improve outcome in Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD), but few are developed specifically for adolescents and none has been evaluated in Europe. This study evaluates family-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents (ages 13-18) with PBD in routine psychiatric care in Sweden, adapted for teenagers in a European setting from the Child and Family-Focused Cognitive Beh

Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) is one of the critical water quality indicators that shows the eutrophication status of aquatic ecosystems. As the largest lake and a well-known attraction in middle Europe, Lake Balaton contributes 70 % or more of local economy through tourism, while also maintaining a unique biodiversity. Therefore, long-term monitoring of water quality is essential for its effective manage

BACKGROUND: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons.METHODS: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the und

District heating and cooling is a simple but powerful technology that could contribute to decarbonising Europe's heating and cooling supply. However, its current overall penetration is minor. Furthermore, future systems could adopt different configurations with various settings of temperature levels or production location. This thesis has aimed to improve existing tools to evaluate district heatin

Casein micelles are key structures in milk, influencing stability, nutritional properties, and functionality. Their hierarchical architecture, which is dynamic and responsive to environmental conditions, plays a crucial role in dairy processing. Understanding the structural and dynamic properties of casein micelles is essential for optimizing dairy products and processing techniques. This study pr

Purpose: Radiation therapy (RT) causes tissue damage and inflammation. Because cytokines play a key role in such processes, their expression levels can be an indicator of cell and tissue toxicity. This critical review aims to explore whether levels of circulating inflammatory biomarkers in peripheral blood are associated with proton- or photon-based therapy in the pelvic area and how these levels

Controllable hydrogen generation rate of Al-Ga-based on-site hydrogen supply materials significantly impacts their practical application. In many scenarios, the hydrolysis reaction occurs at elevated temperatures, which is a factor often overlooked in its effect on reaction kinetics. This study investigates the relationship between grain size and reaction rate in Al-Ga-based alloys for hydrogen ge

Educational development initiatives in the form of short-lived, isolated pedagogical courses may at best change the thinking and practice of a few pioneers, and then perhaps only temporarily. It is only possible to successfully address the need that such initiatives are intended to meet if the impact is lasting and effects a cultural change locally at the university. In this study, we look beyond

Robots, which were seen as gimmicks in science fiction stories until not so long ago, have already crossed into reality. Thanks to the ever-growing autonomy of robots and ever-expanding variety of roles assigned to them, they are becoming more integrated into the ordinary course of everyday life. With the advent of social robots that can engage human beings on personal levels, for the first time,

The Middle Danube (Carpathian) Basin is considered to encompass some of the thickest and most complete records of aeolian dust deposition in Europe, covering the last two glacial–interglacial cycles. In this study, independent, published chronologies based on absolute dating methods were compiled for 34 loess-palaeosol sequences and modelled using Bayesian statistics. Mass accumulation rates (MARs
