Background: Adverse skin reactions to continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and devices for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSIIs) (“diabetes medical devices” (MDs)) are well known. However, epidemiological studies on prevalence and skin rash details are lacking. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and details of skin rash to diabetes MDs in adults with type 1 diabet

We report three cases of contact allergy to a mislabelled hair dye product. A hair dye product labelled as p-phenylenediamine-free has been found to contain p-phenylenediamine by a chemical analysis at the level above the limits allowed in the product.

Robustness is the ability of systems to survive unforeseen or unusual circumstances, allowing them to withstand local damage and redistribute stresses to reduce disruptions from component failures. It may be measured by calculating the probability of system failure when specific components fail, compared to the overall system reliability. However, treating robustness and reliability as opposites c

Aim: To describe the prevalence and incidence of pain, identify prognostic factors for pain, determine psychometric properties of tools to assess pain, and evaluate effectiveness of interventions for reducing pain among adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Six databases were searched to identify studies published since 1990 in any language that met eligibility criteria defined for each objecti

With the ongoing developments in the field of anti-amyloid therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, it is crucial to better understand the longitudinal associations between amyloid-β deposition and altered network activity in the living human brain. We included 110 cognitively unimpaired individuals (67.9 ± 5.7 years), who underwent [18F]flutemetamol (amyloid-β)-PET imaging and resting-state magnetoenceph

Current trends aim at improving the surface integrity of aerospace Ni-based superalloys by reducing the temperature rise in the cutting zone in order to minimize tool wear, as well as reducing the thermally induced tensile residual stresses on the machined surface. The manufacturing industry is also driven by developing high performance sustainable machining processes. Cryogenic machining (CM) usi

The emergence of cyber mistreatment among frontline workers in their digital interactions with customers, clients and patients represents a significant but relatively new work environment risk within the service sector. Human resource management has a key role in digital transformation, which includes securing safe and healthy workplaces and fostering sustainable practices for handling cyber mistr

External quality assessment (EQA) schemes for pathology are essential, yet large/international programmes do not assess morphology-based biomarkers or address local/regional needs. This study outlines bottom-up initiated, flexible Swedish Digital Pathology EQA rounds for breast pathology, and presents results from the 2021 and 2023 rounds. Six breast carcinoma cases were selected for each EQA roun

Glycolipid-lectin-driven endocytosis controls the formation of clathrin-independent carriers and the internalization of various cargos such as β1 integrin. Whether this process is regulated in a dynamic manner remained unexplored. Here we demonstrate that, within minutes, the epidermal growth factor triggers the galectin-driven endocytosis of cell-surface glycoproteins, such as integrins, that are

Importance: Better understanding of patients' attitudes toward deprescribing specific medications will inform future deprescribing interventions. Objective: To investigate older adults' attitudes toward deprescribing by investigating which medications they would like to have deprescribed, the reasons why, and patient factors associated with interest in deprescribing. Design, Setting, and Participa

In this paper, we present a summary of fractal calculus and propose the use of Lagrange multipliers for both fractal calculus and fractal variational calculus with constraints. We examine the application of these methods across various branches of physics. By employing fractal variational calculus with constraints, we derive fundamental equations such as the fractal mechanical wave equation, the f

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) inflammatory environment alters mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) gene and protein expression but effects on microRNA (miRNA) content of MSC-extracellular vesicle (EVs) remain unknown. To assess this, sequencing analysis of EV-miRNAs prepared from human bone marrow-derived MSCs (hMSCs) exposed ex vivo to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from ARDS pati

Developing an efficient code for large, multiscale astrophysical simulations is crucial in preparing for the upcoming era of exascale computing. RAMSES is an astrophysical simulation code that employs parallel processing based on the message-passing interface (MPI). However, it has limitations in computational and memory efficiency when using a large number of CPU cores. The problem stems from ine

Purpose: Myocardial infarctions (MIs) can occur in underlying obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD) or in non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). The primary objectives of the study were to investigate the prevalence of MI-CAD and MINOCA in people with CAL, and to explore if CAL is an independent risk factor for MI-CAD and MINOCA. Secondary objectives were to explore these research ques

Linear quadratic (LQ) control optimizes a quadratic cost function while following a linear model. It is commercially available in the process industry but often not labeled as such and infrequently used. Froth flotation is a process in the minerals industry that extracts precious metals from a slurry of finely ground rock in consecutive tanks called cells. Flotation cells are often arranged in two

This study examines whether individual propensity to commit crime and family environment interact in their association with child-to-parent violence (CPV). We assume that individual propensity will be more strongly associated with CPV among those adolescents who are less attached to and controlled by their parents. The study has a cross-sectional design of 4,930 adolescents (age 16 years on averag

Studies show that child-to-parent violence (CPV) occurs in many families, but the impact of ethnicity on CPV is largely unknown. This cross-sectional study examines whether there are differences in CPV between ethnic Swedish adolescents and adolescents with a background in Muslim countries, both first and second generation. The study is based on a stratified sample of 4222 adolescents and young ad
