We report the discovery and characterization of two sub-Saturns from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using high- resolution spectroscopic observations from the MaHPS spectrograph at the Wendelstein Observatory and the SOPHIE spectrograph at the Haute-Provence Observatory. Combining photometry from TESS, KeplerCam, LCOGT, and MuSCAT2, along with the radial velocity measurements fro

Patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) exhibit myocardial changes which may cause flow inefficiencies not detectable on echocardiogram. We investigated whether left ventricular (LV) kinetic energy (KE) and hemodynamic forces (HDF) on 4D-flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide more sensitive measures of flow in non-obstructive HCM.Methods and resultsNinety

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery are typically preoperatively assessed using the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, which is also used for case-mix adjustment when comparing centre outcomes. Studies determining the inter-rater variability of the ASA classification within hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery are currently lacking.METHODS: An inte

Background: Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of such cangrelor treatment during PCI in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Met

Background: Stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rank among the leading causes of mortality. Physical activity and exercise are recommended as part of rehabilitation after AMI to prevent cardiovascular events, but the importance for stroke prevention has not been investigated using population-based data. Objectives: To determine associations between participation in exercise-based cardiac

This study aimed to obtain high-resolution 3D isotropic turbo spin-echo (TSE) wrist MRI acquisitions at 7T, with and without fat suppression, facilitated by compressed-sensing (CS) acceleration. In 16 healthy subjects, fat-suppressed (FS) and nonfat-suppressed (NFS) TSE wrist images were obtained. The protocol consisted of a SENSE-accelerated scan, with an isotropic voxel size of 0.45 mm and acqui

BACKGROUND: Platelet transfusions are frequent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), either as prophylaxis against bleeding complications or as treatment for bleeding. The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine guidelines for ICU patients generally recommend not using prophylactic platelet transfusions unless the platelet count falls below 10 × 10 9 cells/L in non-bleeding patients and make no re

Background: Guidance on managing acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is largely based on expert opinion and retrospective studies pooling different subtypes of AMI. In clinical practice, management strategy is often selected based on the patient’s severity of illness, whereas randomized controlled trials or even adjusted analyses comparing different strategies are rarely available. We aimed to perfor

Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) insufficiency in peritoneal dialysis (PD) often leads to transfer to hemodialysis. Therefore, strategies to prolong time on therapy are needed. The use of a combined crystalloid and colloid solution, also called bimodal PD, can help improve UF. Methods: We propose a method for reconstituting bimodal solutions. Three bimodal PD solutions, with respectively 100 ml (s

Produktion av en nanotrådssolcell För att ta itu med miljöpåverkan från växthusgaser krävs en övergång till förnyelsebara energikällor. Ett exempel på en sådan källa är nanotrådssolceller. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt hur nanotrådar kan arrangeras på sådant sätt som krävs för att kunna omvandla solljuset till elektricitet. Global uppvärmning är ett hot som till stor del orsakas av utslThe demand for cheaper and more efficient solar cells is high. One way to decrease cost of material, while maintaining a high degree of efficiency, is to take advantage of nanomaterials. A thin film containing pn-junction nanowires can convert light with an efficiency comparable to traditional planar cells, while using a fraction of the material, and thus reduce costs.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth

The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext

Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed

High Tech security solutions refer to advanced and innovative technologies designed to protect assets, data and individuals from various threats. These systems offer benefits that traditional security measures cannot match. Examples of high Technology security solutions include Biometric Access Control that uses fingerprints, iris and facial recognition, Surveillance drones with cameras for monito

Background: Influenza ranges from a mild and self-limiting infection to a life-threatening disease with high mortality despite intensive care. Conclusive data on the association between influenza type/subtype and mortality among adults treated at intensive care units (ICU) is lacking. Objectives: To investigate the mortality in adults admitted to ICU with laboratory-confirmed influenza during thre

Para Alpine skiing is one of the largest sports at the Paralympic Winter Games. Recent studies report high injury rates in this sport. However, limited evidence exists regarding sport-specific injury characteristics, which is essential for targeted prevention. The aim of this study was to describe the overall incidence proportion and incidence of injuries reported by athletes participating in Alpi

Background: Although it has been suggested that the hippocampus and amygdala (HA) are involved in the neurobiology of obsessive– compulsive disorder (OCD), volumetric findings have been inconsistent, and little work has been undertaken on the volumetry of the heterogeneous anatomic units of HA, with their specific functions and cytoarchitecture, in OCD. We sought to explore potential sources of he

Purpose The EPHOR-NIGHT cohort was established to investigate how night shift work influences biological pathways and chronic disease risk using a comprehensive working-life exposome approach, focusing on cardiometabolic, mental health, cognitive and biological ageing outcomes. Participant The cohort includes 937 workers aged 20–65 years (88%female), primarily from the healthcare sector (96%) in S

Background: Escalating resistance among Gram-negative pathogens limits β-lactam options. Cefepime/enmetazobactam combines a fourth-generation cephalosporin with a class A β-lactamase inhibitor. We evaluated its activity against multidrug, extensive and pandrug-resistant war-wound isolates from Ukraine.Materials and methods: We tested 215 clinical samples (2022-2023) isolated from wounded patients
