Climate change presents significant threats to human health, especially for low-income urban communities in the Global South. Despite numerous studies of heat stress, surprisingly little is known about the temperatures actually encountered by people in their homes, or the benefits of affordable adaptations. This paper examines indoor air temperature measurements gathered from 47 living rooms withi
Despite recommendations to use oral lipid-lowering therapies (LLT) in secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, numerous studies have shown substantial under-utilization. We assessed long-term persistence and dynamics of adherence to oral LLTs in patients after their first ever myocardial infarction (MI) in Sweden. A total of 83,407 patients with a MI (2010–2017) and who were
PurposeCombination treatments—thermal ablation (TA) and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) have been suggested for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). After TA a transient hyperemic zone appears around the ablated area, a potential target for TACE. The aim was to determine when this peri-ablational hyperemia is at its widest and most intensely perfused.Materials and methodsThis prospective study e
BACKGROUND: Vacuum-assisted abdominal closure (VAC) is being increasingly used as an adjunctive procedure in the surgical treatment of secondary peritonitis. This study compared postoperative mortality and complication rates between VAC and primary abdominal closure (PAC).METHOD: This retrospective chart review included all patients diagnosed with secondary peritonitis who underwent laparotomy bet
Hösten 2004 diskuterades Vänsterpartiets förhållande till kommunismen flitigt i medierna. En utlösande händelse var två reportage om Vänsterpartiet som Sveriges Televisions samhällsprogram Uppdrag granskning gjorde. Reportagen och de följande händelserna väckte stor uppmärksamhet i medierna. Vår undersökning är en fallstudie om agenda-setting. Genom att belysa och förklara agenda-setting för poli
Land suitability assessments for coffee cultivation can support agroecological planning and contribute to food security and economic stability in many African regions. The study identifies land suitability for coffee cultivation in Nyamagabe, Rwanda, highlighting the significant influence of air temperature, rainfall, and elevation on coffee plantations. By comparing two spatial analysis results,
Monitoring water quality of rivers is essential in establishing the level of human impact on freshwater ecosystem, in addition to natural variability. The physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological parameters were studied under seasonal conditions at seven different sites of the river Yamuna upper. The main mechanisms that influence the water quality were determined using descriptive statis
Background and purpose: There is an urgent need to improve patient-selection to surgical treatment in advanced ovarian cancer as our results showed that cytoreductive surgery was without effect or even detrimental in a yet unknown subgroup of women. With an ageing population, 30% of women with advanced ovarian cancer in Sweden are >75 years. Nevertheless, there are no recommendations on patient-se
The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fi
Phlorotannins, the polyphenols mostly found in brown seaweeds, have attracted high attention from the pharmaceutical industry in recent years due to their antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. These properties make them desirable to be utilized in a wide range of therapeutics. Despite their importance, several challenges make their extractability and identification complex,
PURPOSE: To assess the risk of self-fulfilling prophecy from withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in comatose cardiac arrest patients undergoing neuroprognostication.METHODS: Post-hoc multicentre study matching adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, in WLST-permitting cohorts (TTM and TTM2), and non-WLST-permitting cohorts (KORHN and ProNeCA). We matched patients in a 1:
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess if vortex formation time (VFT) as a measurement of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is affected by food intake and related to age and sex. Methods: Healthy participants were divided into two age groups: younger (median age: 25 years) and older (median age: 68 years). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examinations were performed duri
Background and Aim: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Overweight and poor nutrient intake has been described in these patients. The aim of the study was to estimate nutrient intake in IBS, and to relate symptoms with nutrient intake and weight. Methods: Patients with IBS diagnosed according to Rome IV, without other severe diseases, complet
We argue that the subject matter and objectives of risk science establish it as an inherently interdisciplinary field, closely connected to both academic disciplines and practical applications. However, risk research faces a range of interdisciplinary challenges. These include the production of low-quality research—characterised by superficial and insufficiently grounded conclusions—a lack of mutu
Among the more than 2,000 interments from the Phaleron Burial Ground, 79 individuals buried in the Esplanada mass graves are said to have died violently, perhaps bludgeoned to death. The Esplanada remains were observed in the field by Ingvarsson and Bäckström (2019); ten of these 79 were later excavated and studied by Buikstra and colleagues in a laboratory setting.

Introduction: Despite increasing recognition of pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS), its neuropsychological underpinnings remain limited, particularly in relation to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. PANS manifests abruptly with severe OCD and/or eating restrictions alongside concurrent neuropsychiatric symptoms, causing distress and functional impairment. This study
Background: The study of emotion regulation (ER) has gained traction in forensic psychological and psychiatric research as a correlate of antisocial and aggressive behavior as well as for its relevance to psychopathology. However, conceptual and definitional ambiguity persists. Methods: This pre-registered systematic review aimed to investigate how ER is conceptualized and measured in forensic pop
BackgroundAdvanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most widely adopted form of trauma life support training worldwide, but there is no high-quality evidence that it can improve patient outcomes. The aim of this trial is to compare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients.MethodsADVANCE TRAUMA is a batched stepped-wedge cluster randomised controlled
