Purpose: To evaluate waiting times for first-eye cataract surgery in Sweden following widespread adoption of the Nationell Indikationsmodell for Kataraktextraktion (NIKE) tool for prioritizing patients for cataract surgery. Methods: Waiting times for all first-eye cataract surgeries in Sweden in 2009-2011 were identified from the Swedish National Cataract Register. Waiting times were compared acco
In three quasi-experimental studies, we investigated the effects of placing a Teachable Agent (TA) from a math game in a digital summative test. We hypothesized that the TA would affect test performance, even without actual "teachability", by social influence on the test situation. In Study 1 (N=47), students did a pretest, played the math game for seven weeks, and did a posttest either with or wi
OBJECTIVE: To report the mid-term outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F-BEVAR) following a failed previous endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR) or previous open aneurysm repair (pOAR).METHODS: Data from consecutive patients who underwent F-BEVAR for pEVAR or pOAR from 2006-2021 from 17 European vascular centres were analyzed. Endpoints included technical success, major a
BACKGROUND: Simple cold storage (CS) is the gold standard for organ preservation. Recently, evidence has been presented suggesting compared with CS hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) improves the quality and outcome of kidneys for transplantation. Uppsala has used the LifePort Kidney Transporter to preserve deceased donor kidneys. We evaluated our first single-center 52 cases retrospectively.METH
The purpose of this paper is to speak on the similarities and differences between the Traverso and the Boehm-flute, specifically on interpretation and focusing on the embouchure, sound colour, and tuning systems. The written format of this study allowed me to express better and be more specific on the information selected to be more concise and beneficial to what I intended from this research. As

We prospectively assessed the subjective, objective, and radiographic results at 1, 2, and 5 years in 65 patients who had pyrocarbon proximal interphalangeal prostheses inserted between 2001 and 2010. Further operations were done on 10 of the 89 joints (four for prosthetic extraction and arthrodesis, two for component changes, and four for soft tissue procedures). At 1 year, the visual analogue sc
A fundamental problem in radiotherapy is the variation of organ at risk (OAR) volumes. Here we present our initial experience in engaging a large Radiation Oncology (RO) community to agree on national guidelines for OAR delineations. Our project builds on associated standardization initiatives and invites professionals from all radiotherapy departments nationwide. Presently, one guideline (rectum)
Platform trials have become widely adopted across multiple disease areas over recent years, however, guidelines for operationalising these trials have not kept pace. We outline a series of documents that summarise the statistical components, and implicit processes, of the Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial to provide an informal template for other researchers and reviewer
