A 61-year-old male patient presented with rest pain and ulceration in his left leg 1 week after a hybrid procedure with bilateral external iliac stenting, common femoral artery thromboendarterectomy, and left-sided femoral popliteal bypass with an in situ saphenous vein. The bypass had been stented intraoperatively but had again become occluded directly after surgery. In the present report, we dem

We report the case of a 63-year-old man who presented with a 2-week complaint of lower extremity pain, swelling, and low-grade fever after an episode of septic arthritis in the ipsilateral knee. The investigation showed a rapidly expanding popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA). The rare clinical entity of an infective PAA was suspected and was confirmed by the cultures obtained at the right femoropoplit

Manual gestures and speech form a single integrated system during nativelanguage comprehension. However, it remains unclear whether this hold forsecond language (L2) comprehension, more specifically for simultaneousinterpreting (SI), which involves comprehension in one language and simultaneousproduction in another. In a combined mismatch and priming paradigm,we presented Swedish speakers fluent i

IMPORTANCE: The clinical utility of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in stable chest pain is still debated, and the low-risk period for adverse cardiovascular (CV) events after a negative test result is unknown.OBJECTIVE: To provide contemporary quantitative data synthesis of the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of stress CMR in stable chest pain.DATA SOURCES: PubMed

Child stunting prevalence is primarily used as an indicator of impeded physical growth due to undernutrition and infections, which also increases the risk of mortality, morbidity and cognitive problems, particularly when occurring during the 1000 days from conception to age 2 years. This paper estimated the relationship between stunting prevalence and age for children 0-59 months old in 94 low- an

The post-racial discourse that permeates many Western European countries depicts society as having moved beyond race concepts and classifications. This article focuses on Sweden, a country that, in line with the post-racial thinking, declares race to be an offensive and unscientific concept. The article investigates what happens when this post-racial discourse meets clinical research standards tha

PURPOSE: The intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) technique possibly results in enhanced recovery and reduced morbidity rates compared to the extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) technique. This study compared the short-term morbidity rates of IA versus EA in segmental resections for colon cancer.METHOD: We performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients from 2015 to 2020 using the IA or EA t

PURPOSE: Water saturation shift referencing (WASSR) Z-spectra are used commonly for field referencing in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI. However, their analysis using least-squares (LS) Lorentzian fitting is time-consuming and prone to errors because of the unavoidable noise in vivo. A deep learning-based single Lorentzian Fitting Network (sLoFNet) is proposed to overcome these s

Personer med självskadebeteende och komplex psykisk ohälsa kan förväntas vara suicidnära. De kommer att vara suicidnära under hela den Brukarstyrda inläggningen (BI). På tre dagar kan vi inte ändra på det. Det kan ta år tills stress inte längre triggar suicidalitet. Det vi kan hjälpa till med under BI är stressen.Denna manual (med tillhörande utbildning som tillhandahålls som uppdragsutbildning fö

In recent times, deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated great potential in various machine learning applications,such as image classification and object detection for autonomous driving. However, increasing the accuracy of DNNsrequires scaled, faster, and more energy-efficient hardware, which is limited by the von Neumann architecture whereseparate memory and computing units lead to a bottl

Little research exists on how home care nursing personnel have experienced the Covid-19 pandemic. This qualitative study explores the work environment related challenges nurses and managers in home care faced during the pandemic. We discuss these challenges in relation to the Demand-Control-Support Model and reflect on how the organizational dynamics associated with them can be understood using th

Phagocytosis is relevant for many research fields and is often measured as a functional outcome. However, accurate quantification can be challenging, and many researchers find it difficult to study in a robust manner. There are many ways to measure phagocytosis, but what is often overlooked is the importance of experimental design and how the analysis is planned and performed. Experimental factors

Antibody binding to bacterial surfaces plays a crucial role in immunity, and a key characteristic of this protein-protein interaction is the binding affinity. Determining the affinity of an antibody binding to its antigen is the first step in predicting the function in a physiological environment where other competing protein interactions may be present. Antibody-antigen affinity is often evaluate
