The Ilizarov technique was used in five knees for the correction of a flexion contracture that had not responded to nonoperative treatment. Preoperative contractures of 25–75° were reduced to 0–15°. Three months after frame removal the knees had almost the same range of extension as immediately after frame removal, and all except one patient with severe arthritis had the same range of flexion as b

Short leukocyte telomere length (LTL) may be associated with several psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD). Short LTL has previously been associated with poor response to psychiatric medications in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but no studies have prospectively assessed the relationship of LTL to SSRI response in MDD. We assessed pre-treatment LTL, depression sever

The current paper addresses the implications of doing research on socially assistive robots in real homes. In contrast to laboratory studies, studies of robots in their intended natural environments can provide insights into people’s experiences of robots, and if and how a robot becomes embedded and used in people’s everyday life. However, moving robots out of the lab and into real life environmen

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has provided periodic assessments of the state of knowledge on climate change for 30 years. While these assessments have been central to the making of international climate policy, their relevance has been questioned in the post-Paris era. Can the IPCC's global kinds of knowledge match the demands of an increasingly decentralized and polycentric

The gallides YbNi3Ga9 and YbCu3Ga8 were obtained from flux growth reactions of Yb, various transition metals M, and Ga, to test a stability diagram that predicts the formation of ternary intermetallic phases. The structure of YbNi3Ga9 was redetermined to resolve discrepancies in the literature. For an untwinned crystal of YbNi3Ga9, the ErNi3Al9-type structure was confirmed (space group R32, a ​= ​

During the period 1920--30, there was a certain interest in north-westem Argentina's ar­chaeology and ethnography at Etnografiska Museet. This interest had its roots in the so ­called "Expedition Chaco-Cordillera" led by Erland Nordenskiöld in 1901-1902. In 1932, Alfred Metraux visited Etnografiska Museet and inspired, among others, Stig Ryden, one of Erland Nordenskiöld's students. In the same ye

Despite the fact that several cases of unsafe pesticide use among farmers in different parts of Africa have been documented, there is limited evidence regarding which specific interventions are effective in reducing pesticide exposure and associated risks to human health and ecology. The overall goal of the African Pesticide Intervention Project (APsent) study is to better understand ongo

Introduction: International cooperation is essential for public health, as countries need to access medical equipment, combat health crises, and strengthen health capacities. Medical Diplomacy is a concept and practices that combines the goals of improving intergovernmental relations and health, by initiating and facilitating intergovernmental health cooperation. Objectives: This study specificall

Students in a country like Ethiopia face a double air pollution challenge: they are frequently exposed (both outdoors and indoors) to sources of incomplete combustion and therefore to unhealthy concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO), while they also face increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in crowded dormitories and classrooms. Research on air pollution in

Interest in human heredity has a long history in Sweden. In the 1920s the Parliament decided on a State institute for race biology and in the 1930s a sterilization legislation that put eugenics into practice was enacted. During the postwar decades both research and the political-medical practices were successively transformed: medical genetics became established and proclaimed as a new research fi
