Background: Few studies describe the use of the Post-Stroke Checklist (PSC) as a tool for longitudinal stroke follow-up in clinical practice. We mapped the prevalence of stroke-related health problems and targeted interventions at 3 and 12 months post-stroke by using the PSC. Methods: Patients with acute stroke discharged home in 2018–2019 at Skåne University Hospital, Sweden, were invited to part

It is now understood that hematological diseases can have detrimental effects on the retina, reducing retinal capillaries, compromising visual function, and potentially causing irreversible visual impairment. Over the years, there has been limited research on macular microvascular abnormalities, such as changes in vessel density and the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and variations in the severity of

Objective: As a result of conflicting, inadequate or controversial data in the literature, several issues concerning the management of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) remain unanswered. The aim of this international, expert-based Delphi consensus document was to provide some guidance for clinicians on these controversial topics. Methods: A three-round Delphi consensus document was

Accurate channel estimation is crucial for the design and implementation of effective equalization and beamforming techniques, contributing to the overall performance of wireless communication systems. This paper presents a novel approach for channel estimation based on an unknown system identification technique. The underlying idea is to employ the processing-in-memory (PIM) technique to implemen

Experimental X-ray diffraction data: -- temperature-dependent diffraction patterns (theta:2theta, rocking curves) for C18 and C8 CsPbBr3 nanocrystal superlattice samples;-- room temperature diffraction patterns (theta:2theta, rocking curves) for C6, C8, C10, C12, and C18 CsPbBr3 nanocrystal superlattices;in all files, first column is angle in degrees and the second column is intensity.

A range of charge-stabilized aqueous polyurethane (PU) dispersions comprising hard segments formed from hydrogenated methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (H12MDI) with dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) and ethylenediamine, and soft segments of poly(tetramethylene oxide) of different molecular weights are synthesized. Characterization of the dispersions by mass spectrometry, gel permeation chromatogr

Solid organ transplantation has progressed rapidly over the decades from the first experimental procedures to its role in the modern era as an established treatment for end-stage organ disease. Solid organ transplantation including liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, and lung transplantation, is the definitive option for many patients, but despite the advances that have been made, there are still sign

An accident on a passenger ferry may lead to evacuation using lifeboats or liferafts, a process that can be both complex and hazardous. This paper investigates the level of safety for passengers during evacuation based on field study and interview data. In the analysis, the eight goals of Universal Design (UD) were tailored and used to explore what ship and interior characteristics influence evacu

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be classified into distinct histological subtypes based on the WHO nomenclature. The aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of conventional PDAC (cPDAC) against the other histological variants at the population level. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients with microscopicall

This paper reports on a study investigating restrictions on definiteness (the Definiteness Effect) in existential constructions in the two languages of Turkish heritage speakers in Germany. Turkish and German differ in how the Definiteness Effect plays out. Definite expressions in German may not occur in affirmative or negative existentials, whereas in Turkish the restriction applies only to affir

Bringing together scholars and scholar-activists from a wide range of disciplines, this groundbreaking book delves into the diversity and vibrancy of feminist activism in Xi-era China. Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere examines a variety of urgent feminist issues in 21st-century China, including the #MeToo movement, online misogyny, feminism in popular media, and the experiences and r

Purpose: This study aims to explore the experiences of care, psychosocial support, and psychosocial wellbeing among patients treated for COVID-19 in intensive care 12 to 18 months after discharge. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 20 adult patients treated for COVID-19 12 to 18 months after being discharged fro

Solar-driven photocatalytic green hydrogen (H2) evolution reaction presents a promising route toward solar-to-chemical fuel conversion. However, its efficiency has been hindered by the desynchronization of fast photogenerated charge carriers and slow surface reaction kinetics. This work introduces a paradigm shift in photocatalyst design by focusing on the synchronization of charge transport and s

A prevalent solution to accommodate population growth due to urbanization is densification. However, this often pushes new residential housing closer to roads, increasing exposure to both noise and air pollution. The present study's aim was to estimate the health impacts of road traffic-related noise and air pollution for a low-income area (Drottninghög) in Helsingborg, Sweden, according to pre-de

Background: There is no consensus or clinical guidelines for screening routines of autoimmune disease in individuals with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), since results are conflicting whether the risk for such conditions is increased or not among individuals with JIA. The aim of this study was to investigate if the frequency of comorbid autoimmune conditions is increased after JIA diagnosis i

The valence photoelectron spectra (PES) of gas-phase aminobenzoic acids (meta-, ortho- and para-isomers) were measured using synchrotron radiation and calculated from first principles using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with popular hybrid exchange-correlation functionals and many-body perturbation theory using the perturbative one-shot (G0W0) and eigenvalue self-consistent (GnW0) approaches wit

Social interaction research is lacking an experimental paradigm enabling researchers to make causal inferences in free social interactions. For instance, the expressive signals that causally modulate the emergence of romantic attraction during interactions remain unknown. To disentangle causality in the wealth of covarying factors that govern social interactions, we developed an open-source video-

The development in attosecond physics allows for unprecedented control of atoms and molecules in the time domain. Here, ultrashort pulses are used to prepare atomic ions in specific magnetic states, which may be important for controlling charge migration in molecules. Our work fills the knowledge gap of relativistic hole alignment prepared by femtosecond and attosecond pulses. The research focuses

In the Romance languages, definite plural articles (e.g., le rane ‘the frogs’) are generally ambiguous between a generic and a specific interpretation, and speakers must reconstruct the intended interpretation through the linguistic or extra-linguistic context. Following the “polar bear” paradigm implemented in Czypionka & Kupisch (2019)’s investigation on German, the goal of the present study
