Combined density functional theory (DFT) and X-ray standing wave (XSW) studies have previously provided evidence for the preferential adoption of an inverted conformation of 2H-TPP on Cu(111) in contrast to the saddle conformation usually favored by porphyrin molecules adsorbed on metals. We experimentally demonstrate, via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, that the binding energies

Cancer cells in solid tumors experience hypoxia, a condition of low O2 concentration, since their O2 demand exceeds the supply from the surrounding vasculature. However, how these cells adapt to hypoxia requires further elucidation. Here, we use a transparent phosphorescent thin film to visualize the self-generated hypoxia field of prostate cancer cells and quantify local O2 consumption rates, mea

Background and purpose: The recently published Nordic anal cancer group (NOAC) contouring guidelines aim for improved oncological outcomes and reduced toxicity in anal cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. The present work describes how the elective clinical target volume (CTVe) would change when applying the NOAC guidelines instead of the previous Australasian standard. According to the Aust

The first multi-bend achromat based synchrotron MAX IV operates two protein crystallography beamlines, BioMAX and MicroMAX. BioMAX is designed as a versatile, stable, high-throughput beamline catering for most protein crystallography experiments. MicroMAX is a more ambitious beamline dedicated to serial crystallography including time-resolved experiments. Both beamlines exploit the special charact

Objectives To establish the prevalence of clinically significant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and relevant characteristics in individuals with a significant smoking history who are hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Hospital inpatients at 8 European centres (7 in Sweden, 1 in the UK). Participants 518 men or women (302 in Sweden

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is probably the most painful intestinal disease affecting infants born preterm. NEC is known to cause highly severe and prolonged pain that has been associated with adverse short- and long-term effects. However, research on pain management in infants with NEC is scarce. This is likely due to its low incidence and very acute occurrence. As a result, the optimal pain

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is a leading cause of mortality among individuals with epilepsy, particularly those with drug-resistant forms. This review explores the complex multisystem mechanisms underpinning SUDEP, integrating recent findings on brain, cardiac, and pulmonary dysfunctions. Background/Objectives: The main objective of this review is to elucidate how seizures disrupt

The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which men in psychiatric care have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse during the life course and the association between this experience and being a perpetrator oneself. The aim was also to identify who exposed them to abuse and whether there was an association between the category of abuser and being a perpetrator oneself. A cross

Kort biografisk artikel om kosackhetmanssonen, diplomaten, militären m m Georg Orlik (1702-1759) med tonvikt på dokumentationen kring dennes tid som student vid Lunds universitet.

BACKGROUND: Plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease could improve prognostic assessment for people with Down syndrome in both clinical practice and research settings. We aimed to identify the plasma biomarkers that most accurately predict longitudinal changes in Alzheimer's disease-related pathology and cognitive functioning in individuals with Down syndrome.METHODS: This longitudina

BACKGROUND: Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, exhibits resistance to conventional therapies, particularly in advanced and metastatic stages. Mitochondrial pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial translation, have emerged as critical drivers of melanoma progression and therapy resistance. This study investigates the mitochondrial proteome in melanoma to uncover no
