Aim: To investigate the ability of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development—Third Edition (Bayley-III), scores to predict later Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), performances in a cohort of children born extremely preterm. Methods: 323 children, born <27 gestational weeks, were tested with the Bayley-III at corrected age 2.5 years and with the WISC-IV at
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias currently represent the fifth most common cause of death in the world, according to the World Health Organization, with a projected future increase as the proportion of the elderly in the population is growing. Air pollution has emerged as a plausible risk factor for AD, but studies estimating dementia cases attributable to exposure to fine
Interferon-g-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) has been suggested as a marker for targeted viral load (VL) monitoring during antiretroviral treatment (ART). We aimed to determine the kinetics of IP-10 during the initial year of ART, with particular regard to the impact of tuberculosis (TB) co-infection on IP-10 secretion. Longitudinal plasma IP-10 levels were quantified in 112 treatment-naive HIV-posit
Aims: Certain autoimmune diseases (ADs), such as Crohn's disease and celiac diseases, have been linked to acute cardiovascular disorders. We examined whether there is an association between 43 different ADs and risk of subsequent hospitalization and mortality of cardiomyopathy in a nationwide follow-up study in Sweden. Methods and results: All individuals in Sweden hospitalized with a main diagnos
Quantum dots (QDs) form a promising family of nanomaterials for various applications in optoelectronics. Understanding the details of the excited-state dynamics in QDs is vital for optimizing their function. We apply two-color 2D electronic spectroscopy to investigate CdSe QDs at 77 K within a broad spectral range. Analysis of the electronic dynamics during the population time allows us to identif
The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) within the society as well as in academic work has increased rapidly over the last decades. This also means that Geomatics has started to create problems in both academic and non-academic worlds. Firstly because it bridges borders that have been in place for a long time and secondly because Geomatics, or rather the basic concepts of Geomatics, is i
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widespread synthetic substances with various adverse health effects. A potential mechanism of toxicity for PFASs is via epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation. Previous studies have evaluated associations between PFAS exposure and DNA methylation among newborns and adults. However, no study has evaluated how PFASs influence DNA methylation among children
Although e-scooter sharing has become increasingly attractive, little attention has been paid to a comprehensive comparison of e-scooter sharing mobility in multiple cities. To fill this gap, we conduct a comparative study to reveal the similarity and difference of e-scooter sharing mobility by collecting and analyzing vehicle availability data from 30 European cities during post COVID-19 pandemic
To investigate self-reported cold sensitivity and functional disability after a repaired digital nerve injury. We identified 3204 individuals operated with digital nerve repair in the Swedish national quality registry for hand surgery (HAKIR). Patient-reported symptoms, including cold sensitivity and perceived disability, were examined using two questionnaires (HQ-8 and QuickDASH), three and 12 mo
The oxido-bridged diiron(III) complex [Fe2(μ-O)(μ-OAc)(DPEAMP)2](OCH3) (1), based on a new unsymmetrical ligand with an N4O donor set, viz. [2-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-((ethylamino)methyl)-4-methylphenol (HDPEAMP)], has been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of the complex reveals that each Fe(III) ion is coordinate
Background: A subset of individuals with allergic asthma develops a late phase response (LPR) to inhaled allergens, which is characterized by a prolonged airway obstruction, airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the plasma proteome and circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells associated with the LPR following inhaled allergen challen
We report on the evolution with the magnetic field and the temperature of the vortex lattice (VL) in fully oxygenated YBa2Cu3O7 as studied by time-of-flight small-angle neutron scattering. Using the High Field Magnet/Extreme Environment Diractometer beamline at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, we have obtained data up to 25.9 T - much higher than data available previously. Our VL structure results are co
Photoinduced carrier dynamical processes dominate the optical excitation properties of photocatalysts and further determine the photocatalytic performance. In addition, as the electrons generally possess a faster transfer rate than holes, hole transfer and accumulation are critical, and they play the key efficiency-limiting step during the photocatalytic process. Therefore, a comprehensive underst
Background: Ethiopia is one of the sub-Saharan countries hit hard by the HIV epidemic. Previous studies have shown that subtype C dominates the Ethiopian HIV-1 epidemic, but the evolutionary and temporal dynamics of HIV-1 in Ethiopia have not been closely scrutinized. Understanding the evolutionary and epidemiological pattern of HIV is vital to monitor the spread, evaluate and implement HIV preven
Discovered more than 40 years ago, microplastics have become a major environmental issue. With increasing global plastic production, microplastics are of growing concern. Landfills have been pinpointed as primary sources of microplastics to surface waters and they have, in fact, been identified and quantified as such. Due to their small size, different polymers and interfering non-plastic material
[223Ra]RaCl2 is the first approved a-particle-emitting therapy and is indicated for treatment of bonemetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Approximately half the dose is absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract within minutes of administration, limiting disease-site uptake and contributing to toxicity. Here,we investigated the role of enteric ion channels and their modulation for improv
Two-dimensional polarization imaging (2D POLIM) is an experimental method where correlations between fluorescence excitation- and fluorescence emission-polarization properties are measured. One way to analyze 2D POLIM data is to apply a so-called single funnel approximation (SFA). The SFA allows for quantitative assessment of energy transfer between chromophores with identical spectra [homo-FRET (
This study analyzes the relationship of having a child with the early-onset disability cerebral palsy (CP) and the parental decision to divorce and to have additional children. We use longitudinal matched case-control data from multiple linked Swedish National Population Registers between 2001 and 2015 and perform Cox proportional hazards regressions with interval-censoring. Although we do not fin
