Elemental and Structural Characterization of Heterotopic Ossification during Achilles Tendon Healing Provides New Insights on the Formation Process

Heterotopic ossification (HO) in tendons can lead to increased pain and poor tendon function. Although it is believed to share some characteristics with bone, the structural and elemental compositions of HO deposits have not been fully elucidated. This study utilizes a multimodal and multiscale approach for structural and elemental characterization of HO deposits in healing rat Achilles tendons at

Rare manifestations and malignancies in tuberous sclerosis complex : findings from the TuberOus SClerosis registry to increAse disease awareness (TOSCA)

BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare multisystem autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in either the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. Common manifestations of TSC have been grouped into major and minor clinical diagnostic criteria and assessed in clinical routine workup. However, case studies point towards the existence of rare disease manifestations and to the potential as

Acqui-hiring and deep-tech ventures : evidence from Sweden

Recently, acqui-hiring, which refers to the acquisitions driven by gaining access to target human capital, has emerged as a proliferating phenomenon in acquisitions of small technology firms. However, we still know little about this phenomenon, particularly outside the community of Silicon Valley. This study sheds new light on the nature of acqui-hiring by focusing on what drives acqui-hiring. Usi

Punishment in Modern Societies : The Prevalence and Causes of Incarceration Around the World

The literature on the prevalence and causes of punishment has been dominated by research into the United States. Yet most of the world's prisoners live elsewhere, and the United States is no longer the country with the world's highest incarceration rate. This article considers what we know about the prevalence and causes of incarceration around the world. We focus on three features of incarceratio

The LuViRA Dataset: Synchronized Vision, Radio, and Audio Sensors for Indoor Localization

We present a synchronized multisensory dataset for accurate and robust indoor localization: the Lund University Vision, Radio, and Audio (LuViRA) Dataset. The dataset includes color images, corresponding depth maps, inertial measurement unit (IMU) readings, channel response between a 5G massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) testbed and user equipment, audio recorded by 12 microphones,

A comprehensive map of proteoglycan expression and deposition in the pulmonary arterial wall in health and pulmonary hypertension

Changes in the extracellular matrix of pulmonary arteries (PAs) are a key aspect of vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, our understanding of the alterations affecting the proteoglycan (PG) family remains limited. We sought to investigate the expression and spatial distribution of major vascular PGs in PAs from healthy individuals and various PH groups (chronic obstructive pulm

Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Budgets of Europe : Trends, Interannual and Spatial Variability, and Their Drivers

In the framework of the RECCAP2 initiative, we present the greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon (C) budget of Europe. For the decade of the 2010s, we present a bottom-up (BU) estimate of GHG net-emissions of 3.9 Pg CO2-eq. yr−1 (using a global warming potential on a 100 years horizon), which are largely dominated by fossil fuel emissions. In this decade, terrestrial ecosystems acted as a net GHG sink o

Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among south African health care workers

Background: Identifying factors associated with vaccine uptake among health care workers (HCWs) remains crucial to generating evidence aimed at guiding national COVID-19 vaccination and future infectious disease outbreak strategies. This study aimed to elucidate these factors, focusing on the interplay between socio-demographic, health, knowledge, beliefs and attitudinal indicators. Methods: This

Endophthalmitis after cataract surgery and effect of different intracameral antibiotic regimes in Sweden 2011-2017 : National registry study

Purpose:To study the incidence, predictive factors, etiology, and visual consequences of postoperative endophthalmitis (PE) in relation to 3 intracameral (IC) antibiotic regimes.Setting:Swedish National Cataract Register entries from 2011 through 2017.Design:Observational retrospective study.Methods:PE incidence, influencing factors, bacteriology, and visual outcome were analyzed regarding the 3 m

Random Normal Matrices : Eigenvalue Correlations Near a Hard Wall

We study pair correlation functions for planar Coulomb systems in the pushed phase, near a ring-shaped impenetrable wall. We assume coupling constant Γ=2 and that the number n of particles is large. We find that the correlation functions decay slowly along the edges of the wall, in a narrow interface stretching a distance of order 1/n from the hard edge. At distances much larger than 1/n, the effe

Proton Transfer Kinetics in Histidine Side Chains Determined by pH-Dependent Multi-Nuclear NMR Relaxation

Histidine is a key amino-acid residue in proteins with unique properties engendered by its imidazole side chain that can exist in three different states: two different neutral tautomeric forms and a protonated, positively charged one with a pKa value close to physiological pH. Commonly, two or all three states coexist and interchange rapidly, enabling histidine to act as both donor and acceptor of

Deeper Insight of the Conformational Ensemble of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

It is generally known that, unlike structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, IDPs, exhibit various structures and conformers, the so-called conformational ensemble, CoE. This study aims to better understand the conformers that make up the IDP ensemble by decomposing the CoE into groups separated by their radius of gyration, Rg. A common approach to studying CoE for IDPs is to use low
