A short review is given of current literature on medical alternatives for managing neurogenic bladder (NGB) by treating detrusor overactivity (NDO) and improving bladder compliance and urinary incontinence. The first goal of treatment of NGB is to protect the upper tract from damage, and the second is to maintain urinary continence, but all the while maintaining the patient’s quality of life. The

The aims of this paper are to show (i) that thirteenth-century Aristotelian logic (AL-13) is a logical tradition that considers Aristotelian logic (AL: the logical curriculum at the University of Paris, that is, Porphyry’s Isagoge, Aristotle’s Organon, Boethius’s De divisione and De topicis differentiis, and the anonymous Sex principia) as a system that is organized around the syllogistic argument

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka de hinder som kvinnor upplever i sin strävan efter att nå ledande positioner inom svenskt näringsliv, samt hur Ruter Dam som kvinnligt affärsnätverk kan främja kvinnor. En kvalitativ forskningsmetod har använts där sju semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med kvinnor som har deltagit i Ruter Dam programmet. Det insamlade empiriska materialet har analy

This perspective highlights the role of new-generation analytical techniques in future applications in environmental sciences since the shift to the One Health research paradigm. It reviews the interactions between the compartments of One Health and indicates the current challenges in traditional environmental research. The term One Health was first used at the beginning of the 20th century, yet m

Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a rare but dreaded complication of thyroid surgery. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is a technology intended to assist surgeons in identifying the RLN and confirming its function. This chapter describes the technology and technique of IONM, with tips for utilization and interpretation of results. A review of the existing literature on the res

Importance: Studies have suggested an increased risk of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior among individuals who have undergone tonsillectomy. However, little is known about stress-related disorders. Objective: To investigate whether surgical removal of tonsils or adenoids is associated with a subsequent risk of stress-related disorders. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort stud

Tree roots and their fungal symbionts mediate the response of rhizosphere soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition to climate warming, specifically the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respiration (Q10), which is a critical parameter for projecting the magnitude of terrestrial soil C-climate feedbacks. However, the intensity of the rhizosphere effects (RE; rhizosphere soils vs. bulk soils)

An accurate description of the wireless channel is essential to the development of modern wireless systems. In order to mathematically model the propagation channel, one important prior step often done is high-resolution parameter estimation. The estimation accuracy of this step has a significant impact on how well the channel models can represent reality. In this paper, we address this by improvi

This paper presents bounds on radiation efficiency and gain for microstrip patch antennas, demonstrating close alignment with the performance of classic antenna designs. These bounds serve as effective benchmarks for assessing antenna performance and evaluating trade-offs and design feasibility. The study particularly addresses the trade-off between miniaturization and performance by comparing bou

Selectivity control of aniline oxidation and low reactant conversion in traditional synthesis methods are great challenges, and it is desirable to develop a green, low-cost and highly efficient catalytic route toward value-added products. Herein, an Rb-promoted Fe/CeO2 nanocatalyst was prepared to understand the effects of Rb-promoter on the catalytic performance for the selective oxidation of ani

Objectives: Limited understanding exists regarding non-detected cancers in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening. This study aims to classify non-detected cancers into true or false negatives, compare them with true positives, and analyze reasons for non-detection. Materials and methods: Conducted between 2010 and 2015, the prospective single-center Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Tria

BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) after stroke has significant health benefits if it is conducted regularly, with sufficient intensity and duration. Because of the health benefits, it is important to identify those below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended level of PA. However, few studies have assessed the level of PA after stroke in relation to the WHO recommendations and which soci

When engaged in dynamic or continuous movements, action initiation involves modifying an ongoing motor program rather than initiating it from rest. Event-related theta synchronization over sensorimotor areas is a neurophysiological marker for modifying motor programs. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to examine how task complexity and age affect event-related synchronization (ERS) in the theta
