Evidence suggests that single photon absorptiometry (SPA)-measured forearm bone mineral density (BMD) is lower in contemporary children in Malmö than it was four decades ago, but the fracture incidence in the at-risk population (all Malmö children) has been stable during the same period. The aim of this study was to evaluate if improvements in skeletal structure over time may explain this observat
PURPOSE: The study investigated curative radiation therapy (RT) plus cisplatin versus RT plus cetuximab in patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).METHODS AND MATERIALS: This was a Swedish multicenter randomized phase 3 study. Included patients were randomized 1:1. Patients with T3-T4 tumors underwent a second randomization 1:1 between a final RT dose of
Background and Purpose: Absence from work due to illness is common in many western countries and has many negative consequences for both the individual and society. Since 2020 Swedish healthcare regions are required to provide resources to coordinate the rehabilitation process, a complex system involving medical as well as work-related parties, where both the physician and the rehabilitation coord
Hot-wall metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy enables a superior quality of group-III nitride epitaxial layers and high electron mobility transistor structures, but has not yet been explored for N-polar growth. In this work, we aim at achieving N-polar AlN nucleation layers (NLs) with optimized properties for subsequent growth of GaN device heterostructures. The effects of substrate orientation on the
Background Long-term pathological breathlessness is a life-limiting symptom that risks taking control of the individual’s life. We aimed to evaluate how locus of control (LOC), an individual’s perceived control of present and past life events, relates to breathlessness in a middle-aged general population. Methods A population-based, cross-sectional analysis of people aged 50–64 years was conducted
Despite decades of experience in urban planning, Iran lacks a robust urban policy framework to guide its rapid urbanization toward sustainable and resilient development. Moreover, its existing sectoral policies have failed to operate within an integrated framework. The formulation of a National Urban Policy (NUP), as proposed by UN-Habitat, offers a unified structure to facilitate the preparation,
This study aimed to test and validate a dual-time-window (DTW) protocol for 6-(fluoro-18F)-3-(1H-pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridin-1-yl)isoquinolin-5-amine ([18F]MK6240) dynamic PET imaging in experimental datasets acquired in human subjects. Methods: DTW protocols were tested and validated in datasets previously collected in 25 participants: 13 were cognitively normal, 10 had mild cognitive impairment, and 2
Do entrepreneurs benefit post their entrepreneurial careers on re-entry into paid employment? An answer to this question provides a career value of engaging in an entrepreneurial career. Results have so far been inconclusive suggesting that we still do not know whether entrepreneurship pays or not. Using job matching as the main theoretical foundation, this study investigates how the returns from
Aims: To assess the prevalence and prevalence relative risk (PRR) of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) compared to the general population using a register-based cohort in Sweden. Methods: The study included 14,716 people with ID and 1226,955 people from the general population in Skåne, Sweden, on January 1st, 2014.
INTRODUCTION: Since the last two decades, there has been a dramatic rise in caesarean sections (CS) throughout the world. This increase has been seen even in Europe, where rates vary significantly from 17% in Northern Europe to 56% in the South. Although, CS can be a lifesaving intervention when medically necessary, non-essential CS are associated with short- and long-term complications for both t
Digital cognitive assessments have rapidly expanded in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, offering a sensitive, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional neuropsychological tests. This systematic review examines the validation and utility of digital cognitive assessments in cognitively normal (CN) individuals and explores their potential classification within the US Food and Drug Adm
Age estimation based on the dentition of animal remains is one of the most important methods used for analysis of the demography of past as well as contemporary animal populations by zooarchaeologists and wild game biologists (Wagenknecht 1967; Silver 1969; Morris 1972; Wilson et al. 1982). By constructing age profiles from faunal remains it is possible to study hunting of wild boar and pig husban
Hotspot tracks (quasilinear chains of seamounts, ridges, and other volcanic structures) provide important records of plate motions, as well as mantle geodynamics, magma flux, and mantle source compositions. The Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge (TGW) hotspot track, extending from the active volcanic islands of Tristan da Cunha and Gough through a province of guyots and then along Walvis Ridge to the Eten
Purpose: This study aimed to examine how young people living with Home Mechanical Ventilation experience the transition from childhood to young adulthood in relation to everyday life, perceived health and transition into adult professional healthcare. Methods: Nine young adults (three females and six males aged 18–31) were interviewed, and data was primary analysed using phenomenological hermeneut
