Background: The eco-corona, consisting of environmental biomolecules formed around engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) when released to the environment, has gained increasing focus in the scientific literature and its role for ENM fate and toxicity is now widely acknowledged. The European chemicals legislation, REACH, entails reporting requirements when it comes to the transformation of nanoforms. Gui

Infectious diseases have had devastating effects on human populations throughout history, but important questions about their origins and past dynamics remain1. To create an archaeogenetic-based spatiotemporal map of human pathogens, we screened shotgun-sequencing data from 1,313 ancient humans covering 37,000 years of Eurasian history. We demonstrate the widespread presence of ancient bacterial,

Ancient genomic studies have extensively explored human-microbial interactions, yet research on non-human animals remains limited. In this study, we analyzed ancient microbial DNA from 483 mammoth remains spanning over 1 million years, including 440 newly sequenced and unpublished samples from a 1.1-million-year-old steppe mammoth. Using metagenomic screening, contaminant filtering, damage pattern

Objective: Both attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and neighborhood deprivation have been previously associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the potential association between neighborhood deprivation and T2D in ADHD patients remains underexplored. Our aim was to study the potential effect of neighborhood deprivation on incident T2D in patients with ADHD. M

Background: Patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) often face complex and evolving needs throughout recovery. Person-centred nursing (PCN) is essential in this context yet remains underexplored in specialised care settings. In Sweden, the Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC) is commonly used in cancer care, but its role in supporting perso

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the interplay and influence of anxiety and depression between patients with low-risk localized prostate cancer on active surveillance (AS) and their close allies. The research sought to determine if emotional states are interdependent within these dyads, hypothesizing that both actor (self) and partner (close ally) effects would be significant. Met

This article explores migrant precarity and class-sensitive nostalgia in the autofiction of Wioletta Grzegorzewska (Greg), a Polish-born writer whose work portrays the complexities of eastern European migration to the United Kingdom. Her narratives challenge idealized notions of transnational mobility by foregrounding linguistic displacement, economic insecurity, cultural alienation, and systemic

BACKGROUND: Both hospitalised (H) and non-hospitalised (NH) individuals may have different symptoms and impairments after COVID-19. We aimed to explore symptoms, mental and physical health after initial COVID-19 for both groups of individuals and the association between physical and mental impairments in relation to self-rated health status and to identify different cluster profiles.METHODS: Parti

Bakgrund: God kommunikativ och empatisk förmåga hos läkare skapar trygghet och upplevs som professionellt av patienter och närstående. Forskning visar att empati förbättrar patienters följsamhet, nöjdhet och relationen mellan läkare och patient, vilket i sin tur leder till högre vårdkvalitet, bättre behandlingsresultat och minskade vårdkostnader. Ett empatiskt förhållningssätt främjar både fysisk

Political violence in Athens exhibits distinctive spatial and temporal regularities shaped by the city’s symbolic infrastructure, mobility patterns, and socio-political dynamics. This thesis integrates environmental criminology with spatially explicit machine-learning techniques to examine risk patterns of politically motivated violence between 2008 and 2024. Using a multi-layered dataset of 610 a

Since its development in the 1980s, spark ablation has been widely used to produce nanoparticles (NPs) in the aerosol phase, effectively eliminating surface contamination common in other generation methods (Schmitt-Ott, 2019). This is a significant advantage, as the surface of NPs plays a crucial role in applications such as sensing and catalysis. Additionally, spark ablation enables the productio

Background: The Influenza – Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness in Europe (I-MOVE/I-MOVE+) and Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies (VEBIS) hospital networks have conducted seasonal multicentre, test-negative, case–control studies in Europe to measure influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) since 2015/16. We measured the effect of chronic conditions on VE of influenza A subtypes among older

BakgrundDetta projekt utgår dels från vår ALLAN-studie kring tidig palliativ vård, och dels från tidigare erfarenhet av digital vårdinnovation.Den digitala vårdtjänsten 1177.se erbjuder flexibel kontakt med patienter, vilket kan vara ett alternativ till fysiska hembesök. Samtidigt ifrågasätts om svårt sjuka och äldre patienter kan använda och acceptera digital vård, samt om detta påverkar den inte
