Background: Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a life-threatening condition reported as often misdiagnosed. Advancements in CT availability and diagnostic algorithms, including high-sensitivity troponin and D-dimer for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and pulmonary embolism (PE), may reduce AAS misdiagnosis, but the impact remains unclear. This study evaluated the incidence, characteristics, and clinical
Introduction: Globally, many adolescents suffer from mental health problems and related stigma. Assessing mental health stigma among youth is crucial to addressing this problem. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a modified version of the Attitudes About Mental Illness and its Treatment (AAMIT) instrument and to describe attitudes according to the instrument, among
This study investigates the potential of enhancing regional rail efficiency and reducing emissions through the implementation of dual Electric Traction Machine (ETM) drivetrains. By employing two ETMs, optionally with different specifications and real-time load distribution, the research evaluates the impact on energy savings and battery longevity. The analysis is based on a comparative simulation
OBJECTIVE: During the past few decades, a rapidly increasing incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been reported from many parts of the world. The change over time has been partly explained by changes in lifestyle causing rapid early growth and weight development. The current study models and analyzes the time trend by age, sex, and birth cohort in an exceptionally large study group.RES
Comparison of ROS production of individual particle components from traffic-related sources can inform new health policies and emissions legislation. This work aims to quantify acellular ROS production and oxidative potential (OP) of such individual particle components from combustion, brake, tire, and road wear. Particle characteristics are probed to identify source-specific markers and improve t
Importance Elevated blood pressure (BP) in adolescence has been linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease mortality, as well as surrogate markers of atherosclerosis, such as carotid intima-media thickness and coronary artery calcification. However, these markers do not fully capture the complex spectrum of subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Objective To examine the associati
Divorce increased throughout the twentieth century across Western nations. Procyclical divorce, i.e. following macroeconomic cycles, is often suggested and women’s increased economic independence is considered a contributor to increasing divorce rates. Research has, however, overlooked that different factors may drive divorce rates across time horizons. Macroeconomic conditions, like unemployment,
Objectives: The only treatment with curative potential for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) is radical surgery which can be complemented with adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of the present study was to perform an independent external validation of a prognostic model for 3-year overall survival based on routine clinicopathological variables for patients treated with pancreatoduodenectomy for dCCA.
