Background: Modern drug-eluting stents have seen significant improvements, yet still create a rigid cage within the coronary artery. There is a 2% to 4% annual incidence of target lesion failure (TLF) beyond 1 year, and half of the patients experience angina after 5 years. The DynamX bioadaptor is a sirolimus-eluting, thin (71 µm) cobalt-chromium platform with helical strands that unlock and separ

Background: The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy has significantly improved the life expectancies of children and adolescents living with HIV, leading to an increased number transitioning to adult care. However, there has been a lack of studies in Ethiopia focusing on factors influencing the success of this transition. Therefore, this study aimed to determine predictors of a su

This paper investigates whether a City Scan Procedure (CSP) can be developed into a value enhancing and economically acceptable solution to make cultural tourismsustainable. The purpose of developing CSP into an established method is both to relieve stressed tourist destinations with strong anti-tourist reactions via site relocations and that its revenues primarily accrues to the host country, thu

En essä om hur regleringen av stora techföretag och digitala marknader kan komma att påverka små och medelstora företag och framtida techföretag.

Objective: To study the long-term effect of obesity and bariatric surgery on incidences of osteoarthritis and arthroplasty of hip and knee. Design: Hazard ratios (HR) and incidence rates (IR) of osteoarthritis and arthroplasty of hip and knee were studied in the prospective, controlled, non-randomized Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study (bariatric surgery group, n = 2007; matched controls given usu

BackgroundThis study explores expectations for telepresence robots as a tool to reduce absence in education as school absence negatively influences children's academic advancement and psychosocial wellbeing.DesignA qualitative semi-structured interview study.Method and populationUsing convenience sampling, we interviewed 11 children aged 8–17 years with cancer (n = 4), neuromuscular diseases (n =

OBJECTIVE: Developing and validating a risk assessment tool aiming to identify older adults (≥65 years) at increased risk of possibly medication-related readmission to hospital within 30 days of discharge.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: The risk score was developed using data from a hospital in southern Sweden and validated using data from four hospitals in the mid-eastern part of Swed

Objectives To assess the effects of interventions authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prevention of COVID-19 progression to severe disease in outpatients. Setting Outpatient treatment. Participants Participants with a diagnosis of COVID-19 and the associated SARS-CoV-2 virus irrespective of age, sex and comorbidities. Interventions Dru

Analysis of the Swedish Supreme Court's reference for a preliminay ruling from the CJEU in cases T 5909-17 and T 891-18 (CJEU Case C-753/18). Published on the Kluwer Copyright Blog.

The PICT method (pollution-induced community tolerance) can be used to assess whether changes in soil microbial response are due to heavy metal toxicity or not. Microbial community tolerance baseline levels can, however, also change due to variations in soil physicochemical properties. Thirty soil samples (0–20 cm), with geochemical baseline concentrations (GBCs) of heavy metals and from five diff

Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase−1 (sFlt−1), placental growth factor (PlGF) and their ratio in maternal plasma, from preeclampsia diagnosis to postpartum, evaluating its clinical utility. Methods: Single-center prospective longitudinal cohort study with repeated sample collection in women with established preeclampsia (PE). Seventy-five (n = 75) wom

Background Sweden’s National Strategy for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) emphasises equitable access to contraception and abortion services. Despite this, immigrant women in Sweden experience lower contraceptive use and higher rates of unintended pregnancies and abortions compared with native-born women. Midwives, as primary providers of contraceptive counselling and prescribing,

The purpose of this article is to outline and introduce research in the intersection of queerness, space and spatial design – temporarily pinning down the elusive, fluid and transitional character of queerness to make this lens more broadly available to students, practitioners and researchers in the many fields interested in space and its organisation. Hence, a normative project of making a queer

BACKGROUND: Intestinal resection and a proximal stoma is the preferred surgical approach in patients with severe secondary peritonitis due to perforation of the small intestine. However, proximal stomas may result in significant nutritional problems and long-term parenteral nutrition. This study aimed to assess whether primary anastomosis or suturing of small intestine perforation is feasible and

Objective: To design a dynamic prediction model for estimating the time of progression from a single glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GADA) to multiple islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in children, exploring different longitudinally measured risk variables. Research Design and Methods: GADA-positive children (n = 379) participating in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in

Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from trigeminal structures is central to migraine pathophysiology. This study employed an ex vivo model preserving anatomical continuity between the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) and trigeminal ganglion (TG) to investigate (1) whether TNC stimulation induces peripheral CGRP release from the TG and (2) the potential involvement of a dis
